  ANNA POVI could tell I was in a dream but I couldn't change what was happening. I was running. Running in a forest. I couldn't see anything but I knew I was being chased.

It wasn't until I felt someone gently stroking my face that I started to wake up.I opened my eyes to see Nick in bed next to me staring back into my eyes & couldn't help but smile."Hey" Nick said smiling back, his smile lighting up his eyes."Hey" I couldn't help but smile even harder. Just looking at him smiling at me I wanted to move closer & put my head on his chest but I couldn't bear to look away. I could feel my heart racing as he moved forward and kissed my forehead.

I could hear Destiny screaming, 'he's out mate, our mate is here!' I so desperately wanted to get off the bed and jump on him but I was connecting to the machines which were beeping faster and faster with my increasing heart rate.A doctor opened the door and came in. "Hi you must be Anna, I'm dr Woods. You're looking a lot better, how do you feel?"I don't know, how did I get here and where is here?" I askedI could hear Nick shuffling, waking up next to me.

"Because he was my mate"."What the hell Sarah I thought Adam was your mate?"Sarah started sobbing even louder & I heard Adam mutter angrily at me "were not really mates"My mind started to explode trying to process what I just heard. "What do you mean you're not really mates?"I could feel the tension in the car and Adam screamed "I mean what I said, were not really mates!"Wow I have no idea what the hell is going on.Jack cleared his throat, clearly him and Adam had been having a conversation between eachother in their heads.

  NICK POVIt didn't take Anna long to fall asleep watching the movie but I didn't want leave. I ended up watching her more than the movie and before I knew it I was falling asleep as well. As much as I wanted to stay I decided to go before the sun came up and I had to leave. I walked over to the desk and wrote a note on a note book'Looking forward to seeing you again in a couple days, Nick'.I put the note book on her bedside table, turned off the tv with the remote and put the remote on top of the note so that she should definitely see it.Its so hard to leave when I'm sure sure she's my mate.Taking one last look at her sleeping I opened the window and crawled out carefully closing it behind me.Walking back to the guest house made me feel sad. I had finally gotten to the room & realised what an idiot I was! I should have written down my number on the note!ANNA POVI woke up with the sun shining in into my room.
