Chapter 131: Hybrid
Darrien.
I spiralled.
I didn’t plan to overreact but, at that mont, with all the uncertainty, I lost control. I was supposed to be the calm one but Jabi ended up easing up all the madness.
Everything that is happening is driving
insane. One minute, everyone is telling
it is all okay. The next they are telling
he is in the transitional stage of being a vampire. I actually don’t want Jabi to be a vampire. I never wanted him to be like . Living forever is not the best thing in this life. it is not sothing I want for him. I want Jabi to live a happy life. it doesn’t necessarily have to be eternal.
The mont I lost all control, Jabi reigned
back in even though he isn’t still in his right fra of my mind. I feel shitty for being this weak, for being unable to handle it all. I didn’t like what Blue was telling . the fact that he doesn’t even understand what is happening is pissing
off.
He is basically saying that Jabi is becoming a vampire. What does that an for him? is not a werewolf anymore. Is he dead now? I rember the mont he stopped breathing. I felt like I had lost him, does it an he is no longer alive?
I don’t like what is happening and it showed with my reaction.
I tried to keep it inside but I couldn’t and now he is kissing . sure, the kiss is making
feel better. His lips on mine, the softness and warmth I feel from being in his arms. Even though I know this is not the ti for this, I can’t help but wrap my arms around him as I pull him closer. I know Blue is still in the room, this must be awkward for him but I just need a minute of this warmth. I just want to hold him a little longer. Jabi grabs the collar of my shirt as he slides his tongue into my mouth.
I breathe into him desperate for more of this comfort. Suddenly everything is forgotten. In that split second that I have him in my arms, I let go of all the worries. Maybe that was his plan all along. he wanted to calm
down and he knew how to.
Slowly he pulls back from the kiss and I rest my forehead on his own, not wanting to let go.
Let’s get through this eting and then we will talk.
He sends
a mind link.
I ignored the last mind link he sent because I didn’t know what to tell him. I still feel guilty about everything that is happening. I don’t even know if the girl he attacked is okay. If anything happens to her, Jabi will no longer be accepted in his ho. They wouldn’t care if it was out of his control. She was just a kid. He hurt a kid and that probably isn’t accepted here.
Okay.
I answer him in my head, slowly letting go of him completely. He is still in the shorts that he had on when I found him outside. There is blood all over it, he probably hasn’t even noticed it. Or else he would be freaking out by now.
Jabi is not strong enough to handle what Blue is eventually going to tell him. I don’t know if it is the best thing to tell him. I don’t know what else to do.
’’Are you okay now Darrien?’’ Blue finally breathes out patiently.
This man is pretty patient. He sat on the couch all this while and didn’t interrupt us, I don’t know if it is creepy or caring. I guess I can choose to say it is considerate.
’’Yeah,’’ I answer, leading Jabi back to the couch.
I sit down on the hand of the couch and Jabi sits on the couch comfortably. I am still holding his hand tightly, sohow, I don’t want to let go of him. He needs
right now—hell maybe I am the one that needs him.
’’Good, so you don’t rember anything from a couple of hours ago?’’ Blue asks him.
He shakes his head imdiately ’’The last thing I rember was closing my eyes next to Darrien.’’
That is also the last thing I rember. Seeing him fall asleep in my arms. To , it was the most beautiful sight to . it made
smile, made
happy to be in his life. So you can imagine how I felt when I opened my eyes and he wasn’t next to
in bed when I heard the scream.
The fact that I didn’t even feel him when he left the room. If only I had heard him or sothing. All this wouldn’t be happening. he might tell
that this is not my fault, but I take all responsibility for all that has happened. It is all my fault.
’’You don’t rember being hungry?’’ Blue asks.
Jabi shakes his head ’’No, I thought about eating before I slept but I didn’t feel like getting up. I wasn’t really hungry.’’
’’Not for food. It seems like you don’t understand what I am saying,’’ Blue runs his fingers through his hair. This is the mont where he tells him the truth. I wish I could shelter this from him but I can’t.
’’What are you talking about?’’ I feel him squeeze my hand nervously. He is as worried as , even though he is trying to be strong.
’’Blood, your hunger for blood,’’ Blue utters those words so casually. This is easy for him to say but the hardest thing I have ever had to listen to.
I watch Jabi, to see his reaction to that statent. I an Blue already told him that he is transitioning but he is still not aware that he almost killed soone. Drinking blood from a human doesn’t always lead to death. The amount of blood you consu is a major factor. From the blood on his clothes right now and the fact that the girl he attacked was already turning blue. He was getting to the point of murder. If we didn’t show up, sothing worse could’ve happened.
’’What did I do?’’ he asks shakily.
Blue doesn’t hesitate to answer ’’Before I say this, I need you to know that this is not your fault. You are not suddenly a monster because of what happened. It was out of your control.’’
The fact that he is being so understanding is everything to . Jabi needs to hear that and it needs to stick into his head. He didn’t do this on his own. His mind was in a fog. I know my link, he would never hurt anyone intentionally. He is too good of a person.
’’What did I do?’’ he repeats almost like he doesn’t need all the assurance that Blue gave him. I know his mind is stuck on the fact that he might be in trouble. Jabi doesn’t like being in the middle of a dilemma. He is the kind of person that wants to be in the shadows, away from all the eyes of everyone.
I know that feeling. I wish I could take all this away from him but there is nothing I can do. I am pretty much useless right now.
’’You attacked soone. You bit her.’’
’’Who?’’ he asks.
My eyes are on him. his hands are shaking against mine, the shivers evident. The expression on his face is blank. I don’t know what he is thinking.
’’I don’t have all the details. She is a mber of the pack.’’
He lets go of my hand suddenly and I wish he would just let
be the comfort hie needs right now.
’’Is she okay?’’
That is the man I love. He wants to make sure she is fine. I hope she is fine. the problems that will arise if she dies will not be easy to handle.
’’I don’t have the details, Beau said she was going to be just fine but I cant assure you. I didn’t co here to dwell on what you did. I ca here to make sure it doesn’t happen.’’
Jabi shakes his head ’’What does that even an? Am I a monster now? I don’t rember hurting anyone,’’ he cries thinking the worst of himself.
’’You are not a monster. You just acted like a vampire starved off blood.’’
’’I don’t want to be a vampire,’’ he shouts so loud.
There it is.
My biggest worry coming out to light. I knew he didn’t want this, just as much as I don’t want it for him. the look of disgust on his face, the worry that this is the plight he will have to deal with, is all evident on his face.
’’You are not a vampire,’’ Blue interjects.
I furrow my brows finally deciding to speak ’’What do you an?’’ I ask him because all this confusion just seems unnecessary.
He smiles, this doesn’t seem like a ti to be smiling ’’Have you heard of the term Hybrid?’’
I nod imdiately, knowing what he is talking about.
I don’t even wish that for Jabi.
I just want him to be himself.
