Check Mate

Nice rock

ELODIES POV

I woke up to an immense hunger on my tongue. I was parched and my stomach growled with ferocity. I waited for someone to come in but no one did for what seemed like hours. I got up and pressed the button-hoping to get someone's attention. Instead I recieved a sharp "WHATTT?!" from the other side of the door.

"Can I have something to eat please?" I asked unable to hold back the attitude in my voice.

I heard them mumble something like, "I hate my job." before they asked, "What do you want?"

"Peanut butter cereal?" I asked with my inscure tone-I mean how can you say that without sounding like a five year old?

I heard footsteps retreating so I walked to my bed, waiting for someone to open the door and bring it in as they always had. But this time I heard a loud creak of metal before a hand shot through a new slot in my door. When had that gotten there?

I got up and walked to the door and grabbed the bowl held aloft by the massive hand. I took it and set it on a nearby table-turning back to see what else he had brought. He was now holding a little glass bottle that contained milk and a spoon that was balanced in between two of his fingers.

I took the milk and went the grab the spoon-as I did our skin touched and suddenly I had this intensity rush through me at the slight contact. I needed whoever was behind that door. I freaked and tried to step back but he held my hand and wouldn't let go of it. He gently pulled my hand through the slot and began to trace lazy circles on my palm. My eyes shut with contentment as the light touch tickled my fingers and sent signals to my body. I didn't want him to stop.

I then heard, "Jack? What are you doing?" before my hand was suddenly returned to my prescence and the slot slammed shut. I realized what I had done and sank down to the floor in embarrassment. What just happened? I drew my hands close to my body and began to shake with silent sobs. I felt like a little slut in the making. What was going on with me?!!! These feelings were not normal and I wanted them to go away.

Jesse. I thought. Jesse will make this go away.

I then heard Jesse's name from the other side of the door. The two men sounded angry at each other.

"...NO one but Jesse is to touch her! You know that Jack!" I heard the other man spit.

"I know!" The guy-Jack-reassured before adding- "I didn't realize she'd be so strong."

"She's about to be our Luna what did you expect? Jesse wouldn't pick just a mangy dog off the street!" The unknown voice hollered.

At the mention of Jesse's name I smiled. I thought of his blonde hair and the way it would feel if I pulled my fingers through it. Butterflies where roaming wild inside of me and I couldn't wait to see him.

I didn't know how long I had been thinking about Jesse, I just knew that by the time my head slowed down long enough to meet backup with the real world that the conversation outside my door had stopped and that all was quiet. Shrugging my shoulders and with nothing else to do, I picked up the bowl and spoon from earlier-poured the cold milk onto my cereal and began to eat. Aim I the only person who thinks cereal is amazing at any time of the day?

I continued to devour my breakfast as I glanced around the room wondering how I was to keep myself entertained today. What even was today? Thursday?

No! I realized with a start. Today was Saturday! Today was the peak of my heat. Today Jesse and I would.... I blushed at the thought. But why did it feel so wrong? Jesse was mine and tonight it would be official. Still something tugged at the back of my mind-pulling constantly and it was starting to annoy me.
