I started to laugh. The look of Joel soaked, head to toe, was amusing. I guess Bekah wanted him to get a little pay back from the teasing he gives her. I wasn't afraid anymore, of seeing Kol and my brother again.
I was confident and somewhat afraid of my best friends power. Joel spits a bit of water out of his mouth, wiping his face with his hands. Cliff wipes his cheek from the droplets he got from just sitting beside Joel. I laugh again and feel Elijah's chest rumble too. I shouldn't worry, I shouldn't. I try to keep this in mind.
"Well then, do you think you're ready to face your fears when the time comes?" Rebekah asks me, ignoring what just happened. I thought about it. Was I ready?
I would have to see my brother, my old pack. The ones who abused me and made me feel like I had no place in the world. And I would have to see Kol, his new potential mate and the faint trace of the mark he's left on her.
