(Final Chapter) The Chosen

Just as Lucy was about to feign ignorance and ask Kyle what the hell was going on, a girl Lucy hadn’t noticed before came lunging at her knocking her to the ground. “Ah get off of me, what the hell are you doing!?” she shouted at the girl. The girl climbed to her feet and offered Lucy a helping hand up. “Im sorry about that, she can be kind of full on sometimes” said the guy who had been arguing with Kyle. “OK...Kyle who are these guys?” she asked. “Oh how ignorant of us, my name is Nate I am the alpha of the Boston Pack, this is my mate Elise and the guy hiding in the corner is Bobby my beta.” He told Lucy. “By pack I’m going to assume you mean wolf pack? And hey I’m Lucy and this is Jessie, the others are in the common room you’ll meet them all in a sec.”Lucy told Nate with a welcoming smile on her face.

Lucy felt a pang of envy as she took in Elises appearance, she had long black hair, emerald green eyes and was tall even without the heels she was wearing.  It was as she was looking at the Jimmy Choo pumps that Elise was wearing that she happened to glance at Nate, he was giving her a strange look, and somehow the look Nate was giving her made her think he knew she had heard what he and Kyle had been arguing about. “Nate, I think me you and Kyle need to talk in private” She said. “Yeah I think that would be a good idea. Elise would you mind waiting in the common room babe?” he said looking at Elise. “Course not babe I’ll see you in there don’t be long though” she said blowing him a kiss. Lucy took in Bobby’s appearance as he and Elise were walking into the common room, even though she could only she the back of him she could tell he was all muscle underneath the leather jacket he was wearing. She thought how handsome he was even with the jagged scar on his left cheek. She noticed after seeing his sky blue eyes and shaggy brown hair and thought it only added to his handsomeness. They all watched as the door to the common room closed behind her. “So what the hell is a Carpathian?” Said Lucy looking from Kyle to Nate and back again.

At first Lucy wasn’t sure the boys were going to tell her anything, so when Nate opened his mouth and spoke she was shocked to hear what he had to say. “Throughout the centuries people like us have spoken of a prophecy, a prophecy telling the coming of a chosen one. One child born to save our people from extinction. It is said that there is something in our blood which causes our powers to wane and eventually disappear all together when we hit the age of twenty five”. Said Nate with a serious look on his face.” Well that’s all well and good but what does that have anything to do with me?” asked Lucy. She looked at Kyle as she asked the question and noticed the look he was giving her. It was a look of hope.

Suddenly she realized what Nate was talking about when he had said to Kyle “She needs to know”.”Wait a minute are you trying to tell me that one of the girls in our group is this Chosen One?” She said. It was Kyle this time who spoke.”Not one of the girls in our group......”Kyle said.”You” Said Nate.”No, no it can’t be me, I mean I only found out I even had these gifts a few weeks ago. No your wrong it’s not me” She said beginning to panic.

"I have to get out of here"she said looking at Nate and Kyle. "Wait what, you cant we have to start your training, there are things you need to know"Said Nate "NO! i...im sorry i cant do this its...i dont...i have to get out of here i need time to think"said Lucy. As she begn heading for the door Nate moved as if he was going to block her exit but was blocked by kyle. "Dude, leave it after what shes just heard shes gonna need some time to work all of this out. You cant expect her to carry on like she has been doing after what weve just told her."Said Kyle. "She'll come back though right? i mean shes the one thats meant to save us all, if she runs we are totally screwed."Said Nate. Hearing what Nate was saying made Kyle have a sudden moment of doubt. A moment which soon passed as he recalled how Lucy had coped with everything else they had thrown at her. "Shell come back" was all Kyle said in reply to Nate. "And how do you know that?"Said Nate with a somewhat questioning look on his face."Trust me shes not as weak as she looks. Yeah at times she might seem like a total flake but ive got a feeling when it comes down to it shee'll do the right thing."Said Kyle. At that Nate and Kyle headed back to the others. Both Kyle and Nate hoping and praying that He was right. Lucy was the chosen one afterall, its not like there was more than one chosen one....right.
