Marked in a Vision (5 page)

“Hey,” Sasha said with a frown as Emily just looked at
Jay in confusion.  His hand
wrapped around her upper arm, but what confused her were the sensations she was getting from it.  Her arm felt like it had been stuck
in
an electric socket
although it was not a
n
unpleasant shock
, she opened her mouth to ask him what was going
on
when he turned to her, and she felt herself fall into his green eyes forgetting what she was going to ask.

Jay had felt her confused gaze on him and he knew she felt the sensations the same as he did.  He turned to look at her as she opened her mouth and then she froze.  He met her beautiful brown eyes, and he was leaning down to her when he heard the door open b
ehind him.  He released her arm
as soon as the door opened, and he watched as she blinked her eyes snapping herself out of her daze.  Damn, he thought to himself as he saw the caution enter her eyes.

“What is going on?” Sissy asked as she strolled over, and Krystal was right behind
her
although by now Krystal knew that she did not stand a chance with either man for Sissy occupied Jay’
s time and Mark was completely
into Sasha. 

“Nothing,” Jay said as he turned to them, “we were thinking of going to the fair that is in town.”

“Fair,” both Emily and Sasha said in excitement.

“Fair,” Sissy and Krystal said in disbelief.  Jay nodded his h
ead at them, and then said, “Who
would like to go?”

Emily and Sasha chorused, “We
would” as Sissy scowled and Krystal walked away shaking her head, mumbling, “How boring.” 

Sissy was about to say something when her phone rung and her eyes glittered with excitement as she said before answeri
ng, “Go to the boring Fair.  I
have a much better offer right now.”  She answered with a relish looking towards Jay to see if he was jealous and when she hear
d
him say, “Well, have fun, Sissy” she walked off in a huff.

“Are you guys really taking us to the Fair?” Sasha demanded and Mark laughed throwing an arm around her shoulders.

“Yes, now you ladies go grab a jacket.  It is suppose to get a little chilly tonight,” Jay advised and they nodded their heads as they ran into the house.

They were out a few minutes later, and they all got into Jay’s mustang as they headed out.

They walked onto the Fair grounds about twenty minutes later, and they looked around in delight.

“This place is packed,” Emily
said,
as she looked at all the people moving around them for they were standing still deciding what to do first. 

“It is a Fair, Emily,” Sasha said laughing, and Emily stuck out her tongue that caused Sasha to laugh even harder.

Mark grabbed Sasha’s hand as he noticed how her laugh was getting attention from the men walking by and Jay did not even think twice but grabbed Emily’s hand.  Emily felt the same sensations as before but she enjoyed them so instead of worrying about it tonight, she was going to enjoy herself.  She folded her hand into his and gave him a smile as Sasha said, “I want to try that first”.  Emily turned to look where Sasha pointed and Jay had to let out the
breathe that he held
when she turned to smile at him.

“Well,” he said huskily, “what are we w
aiting for? Let’s go.”  Mark
looked
at
him quizzically
as he caught the huskiness of his voice but all Jay
did
was
shift his eyes towards Emily and he understood. 

“
Let’s
go,” he agreed and each holding the hands of their mates they headed to the first ride.

Three
hours later

Emily sat down on the bench seat next to Sas
ha as they waited for their men
with the food.

“This is so much fun,” Sasha said dreamily, and Emily had to agree as she thought about everything they did for the last few hours.  She shook her head softly at her thoughts for Jay had been the perfect gentlemen and Emily was enjoying this time with him although she was still a little cautious.

She hesitated for a moment before she said, “Sasha, what does it feel like when Mark holds your hand?”

Sasha looked at her quickly and she knew that Emily was starting to catch on
as Sasha already had inkling that her sister was Jay’s mate
.  Before she could say anything, Jay and Mark walked up with the food.

“Here you ladies go,” Mark said as he handed them their drinks while Jay put down their food.  Sasha watched as Emily shook off her question for the moment and started to eat.  They had just finished and were sitting there talking when someone interrupted.

“Hi there again,”
Victoria
purred and they all looked towards her.  Sasha felt Emily tense next to her on the bench as Jay said, “Hi,
Victoria
,
Arnold
.”  Looking behind her, Emily saw a
n
average looking male about Jay and Mark’s age. 
He looked at Sasha and Emily, and smirked as he said, “Jay, how are you doing?  Who are your
NEW
friends?”  Sasha narrowed her eyes at him as she understood what he was really saying but before anyone could say anything Emily spoke up.

“I always find it funny when that happens as if I do not understand what is going on.” Emily looked at him with her brown eyes and said honestly, “Yes, I am human.”  She got up to walk
away when she froze
as the vision came upon her.

She saw the running people as they all started screaming and she saw the figure of a huge wolf running across the ground towards them.
  She heard Jay and Mark growl
low in their throats as Sasha grabbed her arm.  He stopped a few feet from them, and Emily swore that he smiled before he took off shooting pass them.  She thought she heard a growl come from the wolf and the word “soon” floated through the air.

What was that all about?

“Emily,” Sasha said standing next to her.  Emily looked
at her and said one word, “Trouble.”  Then the screaming began an
d Sasha grabbed Emily’s arm
as Jay and Mark walked over to them in confusion. 
They stood on opposite sides of them as a wolf, the wolf from her vision, came running across the ground.  Victoria and Arnold stood there as the wolf came closer and Emily saw his eyes, the same eyes in her vision, as the wolf growled at them.   Jay and Mark growled low in their throats and the wolf shot pass them.  Emily could feel Sasha’s grip
tighten
on he
r
arm. 

“Well, that was strange,”
Victoria
, said with a laugh
that was a little forced
as
Arnold
just nodded his head.

“From your pack,
Arnold
,” Jay asked as he used extra senses to listen to the wolf in the distance.

“Not from mine; how about yours?” he asked
indifferently although there was concern
in his voice.

Jay shook his head, as Mark said, “Not from our pack.”

Victoria
looked over at them and she started to laugh as she noticed Emily.  Her brown eyes were huge in her face, and her face was pale.

“I think your human friend is scared to death,”
Arnold
said as he noticed what
Victoria
was laughing at, but the joke was on her when Jay quickly turned to Emily and placed a hand on her arm.

“Emily, are you okay?” he asked softly, and Emily looked at him in confusion before she understood what he was saying.

“Fine,” she whispered then
she said, “Can we go home, please?”

Sasha said quickly, “Yes, sis, we can.  Mark, Jay is that okay?”

“It is fine, Sasha,” Mark said.  Jay nodded his head as Sasha asked, “Jay, can you help her while I grab our jackets?” He nodded his head as he slid an arm around her waist while Sasha let her arm go.  Emily leaned into him as he did so, and Mark noticed
Victoria
’s frown before she smiled confidently.

“Emily, that is
your
name right, you should be feeling good about Jay being your protector,” she said
, and there was a note of superiority in her voice. 

“
Victoria
,”
Arnold
called, and she made sure to pass by Jay
letting her body come into contact with him.  She sauntered towards
Arnold
confident that by the light touch of her body, Jay was watching her and not thinking about the little human next to him.  She never looked around as she hooked arms with
Arnold
, or she would have realized that her little play had no effect for Jay’s focused was entirely on Emily.

“I am sorry,” Emily said to him
as
Victoria
walked away
and Jay
looking into her
eyes,
he knew immediately what she was apologizing for
.
  The frown crossed his face before he could stop it, and Sasha noticed as she turned around from getting their jackets.
 

“Ready to go,” Sasha said coming up to them.  She had heard what
Victoria
said although she pretended she had not, and she looked at Emily as she watched her sister deal with the aftermath of another vision.  She frowned as they walked out of the Fair grounds for Emily has been having more visions since they got here.  This meant that something was going to happen, something big.

“Bye, Jay,”
Victoria
called before getting into
A
rnold
’s Mercedes.

“Bye,
Victoria
,
Arnold
,” he said distractedly as he helped Emily into the backseat of his car.

When they got back to
the
house, Emily was feeling better, but she needed to go lay down so Sasha took her up to their room.

“What in the hell is going on?” Jay muttered running a hand through his hair as Mark stood next to him.

“You heard her, too, Mark.  She said ‘trouble’ a second before that wolf showed up.”  Ma
rk nodded his head as
the front door
opened by
their parents and Stacy and Jacob.  They were all laughing as the door closed behind them.

Their mother saw them standing there and asked, “Do you have fun at the Fair?”

“We were,” Jay said shortly, “until an unknown
wolf showed up.”

“What?” Stacy and Cass said as Stan and Jacob looked at each other.

“How are Sasha and Emily?” Stacy asked an instant later.

Jay frowned as Mark answered her, “Sasha took Emily up to their room.  We guess the wolf scared her because she started acting weird around the time the wolf appeared.”  Stacy looked at
Jacob then headed
upstairs without a second thought.  Jacob ran a hand through his hair as Stan looked at him with narrowed eyes.

Before he could ask anything though, Sissy’s parents came out from the living r
oom, “What is this talk about an unknown
wolf at the Fair grounds?” 

“Let us go into the living room as Jay and Mark tell us what happened,” Stan said, and they followed him into the living room where Krys
tal’s parents where also.  Susan
and her parents had left that morning when
they realized that their
daughter was not going to be chosen as the next Alpha female and they were disappointed but they understood.

Jay and Mark explained what happened, and about thirty minutes later Sasha and Stacy joined them.  Jay looked at Sasha with a question in his eyes and she said honestly, “She is resting, Jay.”

Upstairs in their room, Emily laid on the bed drifting off to sleep.  As she has been doing
recently
, she
focused her entire being on her shadow man with
green eyes that seemed to watch her with love and concern.  The green eyes were her comfort and she drifted into a deep sleep keeping the visions at bay for the night.  Emily knew she had to talk to her parents soon for the visions were coming more often which meant that the trouble was going to be here soon, and they had to be ready.

Chapter 6

For the next week, Stacy and Jacob ha
d Emily stay in the house
rest
ing
.  By the second day, Emily was bored out of her mind.

“Why do I need stay in and
rest?  I am not ill and I was not hu
rt,” she argued
.
