Chapter 120: TACKLING MAYA II

Maya took a deep breath in and out, and in again; her thoughts, a reeling mess as she contemplated on how to answer Emma's question, without sounding like a monkey in a zoo. She had to tell a story the human could believe.

"Ok, Well…" She started off, hoping that Sia, her wolf, would help her on the way.

"..that day when you had come to the house to see Melvina.."

"Just skip to the part where we had entered the forest." Emma said, interrupting her.

"Okay..." Maya stuttered, about to continue with her tale, when all of a sudden it dawned on her that Emma had just mentioned 'the forest'. The redhead wasn't supposed to know that since she had lost her memories. She thought, aware of the fear that was gnawing deep within her. If Emma had really regained her memory, then they all would be in a lot of trouble. She hoped that her friend had heard the 'forest' from someone else, not from her memory.

"You mentioned the forest... How did you know that? Have you regained your memories back?" She asked, finally deciding to voice out her thoughts; thereby putting a hold on the forest tale for the now.

Emma bit her lips, and looked away as she heard Maya's question. She had just stepped into her own trap. She hadn't wanted them to know that she had recovered her memories back, until she sorted out some things first. Well, it seemed that the plan had just gotten busted. She thought, biting her lips again, before looking back at her friend. There was no need to cut around the corners again. They both had to come clean.

"Yeah..." She stated finally, looking at Maya, dead in the eyes. "Yes, my memories are back."

"Since when?" Maya asked, getting slightly angry that the human whom they had thought had been ignorant of a whole lot, was actually in fact knowledgeable of everything that had been going on, at least to an extent; and had perhaps, even laughed at them as they had fed her with lies. She wondered if Emma knew about their true nature.

"No, she doesn't." Sia answered for her, and she couldn't agree less. If Emma had known, she wouldn't even be sitting here comfortably, talking with her. Perhaps might be in an aeroplane, flying back home. She thought.

"That's not really your business." Emma stated, interrupting Maya's convo with her wolf. 

"How long?" Maya repeated, not wanting to backdown.

"When I came back to my house, after the days I was out, in your place." Emma replied with a shrug. There was no need dragging the matter on. She still needed answers to some questions plaguing her mind.

"Oh God…" Maya muttered, palming her fore-head gently. "Oh God…" She repeated, shaking her head from side to side intermittently, not believing what she was hearing. The redhead was smarter than them all.

"So why are you asking me then about the forest event? You already knew what happened."  She said, looking up to face Emma, her eyes hooded with curiosity.

"Just wanted to test your sincerity…wanted to know if you would lie to me again." Emma replied with a shrug again, as if stating the obvious.

"I see…" Maya responded, actually seeing. The human was a smart ass. She thought.

"Yes…But some things are still vague. I need you to clarify them." Emma mentioned, hoping that her friend would comply.

"Things like?" Maya asked, folding her arms across her chest.

"Well for one, where had you gone to?" Emma asked, remembering that her friend had left her and Derek, to God-knows-where. Although she was kind of glad about that because the blondie wouldn't have been able to call in for help if she had been captured with them. But she was still ignorance.

"I had gone to the waterfalls." Maya answered.

"Waterfalls?" Emma asked, getting a bit excited at the imagery playing on her head. She had played with the sea and rivers, but waterfall, not yet; she hadn't been to one. 

"Yeah. That had been the initial plan. It was where Derek and I had been taking you to, before we separated." Maya replied, with a shrug, remembering the beautiful and mysterious waterfalls. She had been so excited then, wanting to show her new friend the magnificent waterfalls, knowing that the redhead would love it, before Derek had told her to be going, that they would join her later, only that they didn't; a different story had occurred.

"Oh, wow. That would have been cool." Emma mused, forgetting about the forest incident for some seconds, as she let her thoughts play imageries of how the waterfall could be and feel.

"Yeah, right." Maya concurred, before cussing the phanthom that had spoiled their show in her mind.

For a minute, they were both lost in their thoughts until Emma snapped out of hers.

"So, what happened after I had blacked out? I only remembered being misled by the little girl who turned out to be a phanthom." She asked, gazing at Maya with hope filled eyes, curious about the answers she could be getting, not finding it wise to tell her friend that she already had a vague idea of what had happened even while she had blacked out, through the voices.

"Well after a while had passed, after I had waited and waited at the falls for you guys, I had gotten tired and a little bit suspicious about your absence. So, I had started calling out for you guys, but I hadn't gotten a reply then. When I had realized that you guys were actually missing, I had run back to the pa... I mean...  our place to get help." Maya answered, biting her inner cheek for almost mentioning the word 'pack'.

"And then…?"  Emma questioned, choosing to ignore the stuttering at the end of her friend's statement. She now knew that this place was called something, that was entirely different from the 'governess place', but she let it be. There will be a later time to ask that. But for now, there were bigger fishes to fry.

"And then…" Maya was saying, having made up her mind to tell Emma everything that had actually happened in the forest, except the revelation of their true nature, when Derek suddenly stepped into the room, making her halt in her statement.
