Barefoot again, I run over the grass. I feel the wind in my face.
Smiling, I get faster. I don't want to stop, just keep running.
I want to forget what happened, the problems, everything.
But that isn't possible.

In seconds I cross the forest, on the way to the cliffs. I wasn't there a felt eternity.

From a distance, I can hear the waves breaking as they crash menacingly against the rock face.
I remember the time I spent underwater, feeling weightless, being free of all the worries that would face me.

The full moon is covered by clouds that predict a storm. The constellations in the sky are barely recognizable and still fascinate as much as they did centuries ago.

The wind is getting stronger. In the distance you can already see the storm clouds that warn with their lightnings. Would it hurt to get hit by a lightning?
No idea.
The thunder comes closer, whereupon I start to smile. I used to be afraid of the thunderstorm. But now, not even the slightest thing can happen to me, probably.

The hiss of the wind is getting louder and more threatening.
I'm just waiting to see the storm above me.
Again, the charge of the particles discharges with a loud rumble.
It gets lighter again, now the lightning strikes, a few meters next to me.

Somehow startled, I run. I could feel the energy of the lightning through the ground. After all this time I'm still a bit scared.

After a few miles I stop, the storm already left behind, because I smell something. A vampire, but one I know.
"Are you following me?", I ask, shortly after Grayson's standing in front of me.
"No, I was just bored and took a walk", he says.
Okay, never mind.
I just nod and keep on walking. He walks next to me.
"What did you actually discuss today?", I ask after a while.
"Carissa wants to move in with Seth", he says, I just look at him shocked.
"How should this work?
What about the border?".
Great, another problem!

"I don't know, she loves him so much and wants to be with him", he looks really desperate.
"We'll find a solution", I say, noting that he briefly flinched at the word 'we'.
Does he think about us sometimes?
I don't want to use Edward's gift for that, it wouldn't be fair to Grayson.
What Embry thinks I hear again and again, he has no problem with following the leader. Unlike Jacob, he still refuses, just like Leah. But they don't let the two go.
Jacob's father, on the other hand, can't do much to change that.

We continue to walk through the forest until suddenly the well-known aweful smell is in the air.
The Wolves.
Grayson also noticed it and runs after me. In the background you can hear her loud howling, which comes closer and closer.
Are we in their area or are they not interested in the contract anymore?
I jump over the rocks in one leap, followed by Grayson. Shortly after, he runs next to me again.
We make our way through the forest, just now I notice that I've taken his hand while running. But he didn't let go. Maybe he didn't realize it, maybe it was intentional.
Before we arrive at the house, I let go of him. The others are already in front of the house. I run into Tom's arms, who suddenly stood in front of me. I return the hug, but look to Grayson who goes quietly into the house.

In the evening I'm sitting alone in my room, Tom is with Serena, Rosalie and Emmett. Well, I could imagine him and Serena as a couple.

The more I think about it, the more I realize that my feelings for Tom are no longer the same. It's awful, but I have to tell him.
Now it gets really clear, I still love Grayson. He is my soul mate, even if I deny it. But is it the same for him?
