Ch. 20：What is wrong with my head?

'If I was given a choice, then I would choose Blake. Among all the hot species of men I have seen, be it human or werewolf, I think he is the most deserving guy to get laid with me.' She said.
'Woah? What is it, love at first sight? Are you some kind of heroine that you are falling in love with the bad boy? Let me remind you, fake wolf. You are not a girl from the movies where you will help the bad boy with his problems, and he will fall in love with you. Wake up. This is the real-life we are talking about. He can be the reason for our exiling and death. You do remember that, right?' I asked rolling my eyes.
'He won't hurt us.'
'Yeah, because just like you, he has also fallen in love with us. Sorry, I mean you. He has fallen in love with you, right? I think I should stop watching those werewolves rom-com. They are getting to your head now. You were seriously thinking about being with Blake? That jerk?' I rolled my eyes.
'You'll see that later, sweetheart. I am sure he won’t hurt us. Call it intuition, but that’s what it is. I think we can fight over this matter later when we are alone. First, you should deal with him staring at us like he will eat us alive.' She said, confusing me.
I was about to question her what did she mean by that when I felt a hand on my shoulder, and a flood of various emotions erupted in my body. It started with a pringling sensation on my fingertips, and then it started to spread in my body like a wildfire in a forest.
What the hell is this feeling? I have felt the emotions of soo many people around me, but I have never felt something so strong and so close to my own heart.
Turning around, I tried to look at the person who has placed his hand on me, however, before I could turn completely, my body was held in place as the person stepped closer to me.
Feeling the sturdy chest on my back, I knew that it was a man. However, I still wanted to know who the man was because the emotions that were radiating through his body were so extreme that it was suffocating me.
The warmth of the man was strangely comforting and scary. It felt like I wanted to discover this warmth yet run away from it at the same time.
This power of feeling someone's emotions and feelings through touch was getting to me, and this was the first time I was feeling trapped in them.
There was soo many emotions in this person's touch.
There was a feeling of extreme sorrow, pain, sadness, hollowness, grief, anger, but more than that, there was this hope of happiness in this person that was suffocating me.
The hope that was similar to mine. Like he was also waiting for a miracle to happen in his life. Like he was also waiting for a particular someone in his life that could make him feel complete. However, he also loathed the idea of love at the same time.
The amount of hatred towards love and everything was soo similar to what I feel that it felt like I was feeling my own emotions through someone else.
Struggling through his hold as my mind was turning dark and blank, I turned around to see who the person was, making him lose his grip on me. Turning around swiftly, I tried to see the person who lost his grip on me and practically ran away. however, all I was able to see was a silhouette of a person leaving the party.
He was wearing a loose black colored hoodie. The dark images on the backside of the hoodie were something that I naturally felt drawn to.
"Wait!" I shouted, wanting to follow him, however, before I could do that someone held my hand, making me turn to look at Eric.
"Where are you going, leaving the party like this?"
"Didn't you see him? That guy just held me, and I couldn't even see his face. I-" I turned around to show Eric, however, the person was long gone. There was no trace of someone like him anywhere around the party.
“What are you talking about, Alexis. No one was here.” Eric said, making me look at him, confused.
What is he talking about? How can there be no person? I clearly felt him.
"I swear, someone was here," I said, looking at Eric, hoping he would believe me.
"Okay, fine. There was someone, Alexis, I believe you. But there are soo many people at this party? How ill you find that person? We all have been here with you since the beginning, and none of us saw anyone holding you, but we can be wrong too. If you are adamant about finding that person, let's go together. Yeah?" He said, holding my shoulders. Concern and confusion radiating his body.
Maybe he is right. Maybe I am thinking too much into things. Maybe there was no one here. This Ariana is surely messing with my head.
"You know what? Leave it. You are right. Let's enjoy the party. Maybe it was just a delusion of mine." I smiled, making him smile before we started dancing on the beats of the song.
Maybe it was a delusion only or how did I feel soo many emotions all at once. I am good at reading and feeling people’s emotions. However, for this level of feeling, the person whose hands I am holding should agree to let me feel too.
The emotions that I felt just now were too extreme for my own good.
Looks like the founders coming, Blake’s warning, and then Erics’ entry in my life took a toll on me all at once, and now my head is messing with me.
