This story is a sequel to my first story, Secret Powers Within and my other story Started With a Mission. In this story however; Kelsey has to leave her home to find where she comes from and who she is, but she also has to fight a new enemy and finds someone she was certain she was never going to see again. Along with a new person she's never even heard of. Who is she? Where is she from? And what is in store for her now? As for Skye, she further goes on a journey of self reflection and is still learning what it means to have others care about her. All while fighting both internal and physical battles, one battle of which requires both at once... what is she truly capable of?
Kelsey
We woke up just in time to be late for school. "Ah fuck... oh well." I said to myself as I saw the time and got up. Drake tiredly chuckled at me and got up as well. I shifted my clothes, which I have to say saves so much fricken time in the morning. Or in general. Though I won't use it in a row too often since I can't teleport new clothes on myself like Skye can, so to only shift my clothes and never physically change them would be pretty gross...
"Show off." Drake muttered, giving me a teasing smirk. I stuck my tongue out at him and did the same to my hair.
"Ready yet?? God you take forever to get ready." I teased my mate, causing him to playfully glare at me. We headed outside and shifted to our wolves and ran to school. Once we were too close to people we shifted back and ran the rest of the way. Something about being able to run as anything I want makes me not hate running anymore. We headed into English, Skye not here, guess she decided to go back to her old school now that her and Dylan made up.
"How nice of you to show up. Here's the assignment, I'm sure you can finish it in plenty of time." Mr. H said to Drake and I as we took our seats. I took the papers and didn't say anything and just started it, surprising everyone with my silence. Meh, I'm in a fairly good mood today what can I say? I finished the assignment no problem and had it done faster than probably everyone else in here. I handed it back to Mr. H before class was over and he was shocked that I finished so soon, and had it all done correctly. "Good job miss Rose." He muttered as I stayed quiet, smiling at him, probably freaking him out. I sat back down in my seat and played with the ends of my hair till class ended. When it did, obviously I headed to my next class. Kind of miss Skye being here... I liked talking to her so easily everyday.
Anyways school for the day was finally over and as I was packing up my stuff in drawing, Skye mind linked me asking, 'Want to come over to my house in a few minutes?'
'Uhh.. yeah sure, see you in a few.' I replied, finishing packing my stuff up and heading to the bathroom to make a portal to her house. 'I'm going to Skye's house for a bit, I'll see you later Drake.' I mentally told him as I went through the portal, getting an okay in response. I landed outside my sister's house and knocked on the door. She opened it, not looking much better than the last I saw her.
"Hey." She greeted, letting me in.
"Hey." I replied. Would have asked how she was feeling but I imagine it hasn't changed much and I don't want to be annoying. "Hey Dylan." I called out as I walked in. I heard a chuckle and saw him walk in from the living room.
"Hey Kelsey." He said, smiling amused. Skye almost looked reluctant for some reason, wonder why? "Skye has something to tell you, don't you Quetzal?" Dylan added, looking at his mate. She sighed and looked away from us both, clearly not wanting to tell me anything.
"Hey, you can tell me anything. I'm your sister, and I ain't gonna hate you for anything. Unless you hurt one of my friends or Drake... Then I might... " I told her, putting soft amusement in my voice.
She sighed again and started, "You know... how.. we told you these paintings are Dylan, Lily and some other old dead persons stuff...?"
I furrowed my brows and answered, "Yeeahhh... Why?"
"We lied...." She quietly responded, still looking away from both of us. Well I'm confused.
"Okay?? Who's is it then?" I asked curiously, being sure to not sound mad since I'm not anyways. She mumbled something and continued to try and have her head turn all the way around like an owl. "Sorry what?" I asked to get her to say it at an audible volume.
She sighed and looked at me then repeated louder, "It's mine." I blinked in shock, taken aback.
"Wait what." I said, baffled.
"Say 'what' again! I dare you! I double dare you motherfucker! Say 'what' one more goddamn time! Jesus fuck how many times are you going to make me tell you, this fucking art everywhere is fucking mine okay? God." She loudly stated crossing her arms and huffing. Dylan tried to hide the fact he wanted to chuckle, did a very poor job of that, just saying. I'm really surprised, it makes sense since I love drawing and stuff too and we're twins but still. I also have no clue what that first bit was about.
"Don't know what the first bit there was but... You're serious, when... how the fuck did you have time for all this?" I asked amazed by it all, reinspecting all of them.
"Pulp Fiction. God. And I have lots of time, can paint and watch movies at the same time. Been painting them since grade seven, have binders full from before then. Have newer stuff that isn't on the walls cause I didn't want anyone seeing them more than I didn't want people seeing these." Skye responded, glaring at the walls.
"That's amazing Skye! It's all so beautiful and cool! Why would you hide that?" I asked enthusiastically.
She flicked her eyes to Dylan then the ground and resumed staring at a wall as she answered, "Don't like to brag I guess..."
I gradually got the smile off my face as I realized, "You thought no one would like it or believe that you made it all. Didn't you?" She glanced at me and solemnly nodded.
"Only Dylan and Lily know that it's mine... Lily by choice, Dylan. Fucking broke into my house while I was distracted avoiding yet another sex talk with Lily. Oh... Mason knows too but that's cause he just guessed. Fucker..." She replied, shooting a glare at Dylan who smiled sheepishly with slight amusement.
"Well, thank you for trusting me enough to tell me. Though I have a feeling you were forced to." I said, teasing a little at the end as I glanced at Dylan.
"I was but that's cause he knows I wanted to tell you anyways." Skye answered, playfully glaring at Dylan again.
"I wanna hug you." I stated instead of just hugging her.
Her expression fell and she said probably as gentle as she could muster, "I'd rather you didn't... No offence..."
I chuckled and responded amused, "No worries, I know you have never liked hugs. And I'm not someone so I understand." I had flicked my eyes over to Dylan when saying someone.
"Pf. He's lucky if he ever gets one." Skye retorted. I don't really believe her though. I have a feeling she hugs him a hell of a lot more than she'll ever admit in her life.
I chuckled and asked, "Could you draw my wolf right now?"
"I could, whether I will or not is completely different." My sister replied, turning her sass look to me. A few seconds after though, she relaxed and uncrossed her arms, saying, "Yeah I'll draw it." She then magicked up a paper and pencil and started drawing. Within not even five minutes she had a detailed drawing of my wolf, minus the color, but still fricken damn.
"Holy fuck that's amazing." I said, eyes probably huge and shining from being awestruck.
"I know right." Dylan piped up, smirking in understanding. Skye just rolled her eyes and crumpled the paper, throwing it and I guess teleporting it somewhere mid air.
"Hey, since you can shift your appearance you could totally make someone up and sell some of your stuff to make even more money." I stated, getting excited for my sister.
She shook her head and replied, "Good idea, but Boss would kill me if he found out, and trust me. He'd fucking find out in the first two minutes of attempting it. For whatever reason he doesn't actually know about my art skill."
"Knows mine though." Dylan said, shrugging.
"Wait you can draw really well too?" I asked, pretending to be taken aback yet again since I already knew what he's probably about to tell me.
"Yeeahh... I used to draw her face constantly until he helped me control the need to until I met her. But then in that few month period apart it's all I did."
"Seriously?" Skye asked, looking at him in surprise.
"Ha... You think your drawing pile is bad? I had to tell my mom I was fuckin watching porn so she wouldn't come in my room to see all the fuckin papers with you on them on literally everything." Dylan retorted, but amusement was in his tone. Skye and I stifled a laugh then just burst out laughing.
"Fuckin really?!" Skye laughed, almost falling over from laughing so hard.
"You know how fucking awkward and embarrassing it is telling your mother you're masturbating? Especially when you aren't?" We both just laughed harder and fell to the floor, crying. "Jesus christ guys, holy crap calm down." Dylan stated, trying not to laugh. "Least she knows I was lying and was clearly just trying to cover something else up and knew to just leave me alone." He added, smiling at Skye. We continued laughing, Dylan eventually joining in. Once we finished, Skye asked if I wanted to have a sleepover with them and Lily, and Drake obviously.
"Yeah sure, sounds really fun. My house since it's ginormous and perfect for sleepovers?" I answered/asked excitedly. They both shared a look then nodded, Skye teleported us to my bedroom. Then suddenly Drake and Lily appeared with us, looking around in confusion. "How do you know no one's ever like going to the bathroom or half naked or something when you do that?" I asked, genuinely curious.
My sister shrugged and answered, "I don't know, just lucky so far I guess." We all gawked at her, pretending to be offended, then laughed as we shook our heads.
Drake stepped over and jokingly said, "You saying you want to be half naked?" And reached for my shirt. I slapped his hand and was going to say no but said "OW!" at the same time as Drake instead.
"What the hell was that?" Skye asked, confused as we both rubbed our right hands.
"The whole mate bond thing remember. You feel each others pain, quite god damn literally." I answered, muttering slightly at the end. She seemed to have realized something but quickly hid it and chuckled with everyone else while rubbing one of her wrists. I gave Skye, Dylan and Lily a tour of my house–skipping the pools to save them for when we swim–after that we went to my hang out room. My sister teleported Kat and Jason here then we hung out in here for a few hours then headed to bed.
