Chapter 4

I was in this dark place.

The woods?

Yes. Seems like it. There were so many silhouettes of tree trunks. If only they were actually trees.

Darkness and a defeaning silence enveloped me. The silence seemed to be so loud that it muffled the sounds of my beating heart. Owls whooed and bats swooped the air. I couldn't make out much. I don't know why but I wasn't at all sacred.

I was alone. At least that's what I thought until the sound of a breaking twig sent all that out in the trash.

I became scared suddenly. My short and raspy breaths made me feel more and more dizzy. Then there came a growl right behind me. It was low, menacing. Nothing I've ever heard before. I shuddered, slowly turning to face my predator. I made out a darker silhouette in a shape of a wolf.

A wolf?

No. It was huge, 10 times larger than a normal wolf. My heart seemed to drop straight into my stomach. I froze, stuck between the present and my past, no idea if I even had a future.

The silhouette moved, its mighty paws taking a step closer into the dim moonlight.

I gasped. My eyes gazed upon the darkest fur I had ever seen.

It was darker than black.

Its golden eyes pierced through my very soul. Thunder rumbled through him.

Him?

I didn't know how I knew this but I just did. Suddenly, he roared attempting to pounce.

I jolted out of sleep, chest heaving frantically as I managed to catch my breaths.

    Tylor and I lay on my bed side by side. We had to prepare for a quiz the next day.''What's the twentieth element on the periodic table?'' I heard Tylor ask.'' Calcium'' I answered.There was a brief silence before he spoke again.''You know, your butt really looks good in those bicker shorts.....'' He snickered.''Pervert. Those are not yours so get your hungry eyes off....'' I hissed.''Come over here...'' He suddenly pulled me on top of him and pinched my cheeks.He then rolled over so that I was caged underneath him.''Tell me ‘I'm the hottest guy you've ever seen and that you love me’.'' He demanded with some kind of playful seriousness to it.''I don't want to lie to you, Sweet'' I teased.He looked a bit hurt but quickly covered it up with a chuckle. His hands went up to my sides.'' Then I would have to tickle you till I hear it from your lips.''''Tyyylooor!!....Plea....pleeeaaseee. Stop it. I'm gonna peeeee.'' I giggled.''Just say it!'' He demanded again.''Noooooooo'' I c

    In the bathroom I let the warm water pour down on my skin releasing my ever so knotted muscles. Ruckus out the door caught my attention. I quickly turned off the shower so I could listen better. The house went quiet.I shrugged it off. The moment I decided to turn the shower back on the noise came again, louder this time. It seemed it was coming from the kitchen like someone was ransacking the place.Scared, I slowly got out the bath and wrapped my Berry-pink towel around my body. I stood in my room taking a glance to make sure my room was indeed empty. I reached under my bed for the baseball bat I always kept there.I inhaled sharply as I felt its cold metallic touch against my fingers. I gripped on it hard, like my life depended on it. With each step, the wooden stairs creeked under my feet. I immediately regretted not getting clothed first before trying to act all brave. I gasped as soon as I got to the kitchen, my palm shot up to cover my mouth. Blood drained from my face

    ''Happy Birthday, Sweetheart'' Tylor chimed as soon as I entered his convertible. ''Aww, thanks''''So how does it feel to finally be legal?'' He chirped his eyes on the road.''Meh?...Just the same....''''Oh I see. Being modest, huh?''I smiled.The noisy chaos of school filled my ears. Here once again. Sigh, this scholarly routine exhausted me.''Thanks for the ride Tylor....''''Sure. Enjoy your day! '' He leaned on the steering wheel and shouted across the parking lot as I made my way to class.Just as I entered the class Andrew’s warm smile greeted me.''Happy birthday, Andrew'' I graced engulfing him into a hug.''Thought you would forget...''''Why would I forget'' I pouted.Yeah, I forgot to mention but Andrew and I have the same birthdays. Weird right? Well, not in my case because this coincidence makes it so clear that we were meant for each other.''So what's up for today?'' I asked Andrew as I took a seat besides him.''Well, I was planning to spend the day with yo

    ''Your parents must be really proud of you then....'' I chimed.He shifted his gaze to one of his pottery works immediately I made mention of his parents.'' Yeah, I guess...'' He sighed.I must have hit a sour spot in his heart. Probably they are no more? I really wanted to find out the reason but I didn't want to push things so I let it go.''Even if they are not, I'm proud of you....'' I smiledHe returned the gesture with a smile of his own.''Umm....this is actually not what I wanted to show you...'' He lighted the mood.''That's not all?....'' I beamed so excited.He then sailed past me to a canvas that had been hidden behind a sack cloth. Andrew reached for the material and yanked it from the top.I gasped, my eyes shooting wide.It was a painting of me with a smile, so care free. My eyes seemed like they had never seen sorrow nor pain. This was how I'd look if every thing was perfect.My vision begun to blur. I was tearing up.''This is how I picture you everyday. This is w

    I blinked a few times to make sure I was not hallucinating.''Tylor?.... Wait, What?!....This must be a prank, right?....Please tell me this is just one of your sick jokes''I laughed.Tylor just stood, looking at me with a bored expression on his face.'' Oh wow. You got me there. Hahaha. You really went over the top on this one. Urm, you can untie me now since you clearly won this round.''I chuckled motioning for him to come for the chains.''......you really do think this is a game?...'' Tylor voices , sounding a little pissed.His face was stern. What's happening?'' It is, isn't.....'' I asked unsure. Definitely thrown into confusion.''Haha. Everything has been a game to you right?.....'' His eyes became deranged, sinister.He lashed forward and grabbed my neck, his green eyes filled with this deadly kind of hurt.''Tell me Sky, do you think my love is a game?......'' He gritted.This isn't Tylor, this isn't my Tylor!''Let...Let- go of me. I can't breathe..'' I choked.

    The sunlight pierced my vision as I stirred awake. I winced as the sharp pain I felt in my neck flew up my head making me feel a bit dizzy. I realized I was no longer tied up to the chair. I must have slept really deep. I now lay on the bed with my hands tied up over my head. I groaned in frustration. Yesterday was not just a nightmare as I hoped before. My head snapped to left as light raps resonated through the door and in came Tylor holding a tray of food.He had a bright smile on his face. A smile I wish I could reciprocate if the situation was totally different.'' Hello Sunshine. How was your night? '' He chirped happily.No response.'' Well I brought your favourite breakfast, scrambled eggs and beacon.'' Tylor mused.I just looked on unfazed.''Oh Sky c'mon. You've not eaten for a long while now. What's wrong?.....''I scoffed. I can't believe he is actually asking me this?...What's wrong?... Kidnapping me is not an enough reason then what is?''....If you continue li

    '' I've always wondered how you ended up where I first found you'' I asked Tylor as I slipped noodles into my mouth with the chop sticks.I took this opportunity to scan the whole house thoroughly. We were in the kitchen right by the living room. In fact, it was like the kitchen was a portion cut out from the living room. Strangely, the kitchen had no knives, no dishes, literally nothing. All the cabinets were probably empty as well. How this guy gets me food everyday was still a mystery. This retarded my plan of escape. Maybe I should just impale him with my chopsticks and make a run for it.''Hellooo? Sky? Are you even listening to me? '' Tylor waved a hand over my face.''Sorry, sorry. I zoned out a little there. Where were we again?'' I laughed nervously. I crossed my legs over on the chair and motioned him to continue.''Well, its a very long story. Some very bad people where after my Mom and I because they didn't want her to become the Luna.''''......Huh?Luna? '' I asked puzz

    Andrew's P.O.V ''The cops are not doing shit about Sky's disappearance!!'' I almost screamed.''Calm down, Mr. Piers. We are doing all we can but all proof lead to the fact that she took off, run away probably. We found a hand written letter under her pillow where she confesses her plans to run away. '' The chief inspector stated.''This can't be ''''Here it is Mr. Piers. Have a look for yourself. '' He handed over the supposed letter to me. He sounded more impatient than I even was.I read through it carefully.''No, no. This can't be right. She can't just take off like that. There is something gravely wrong. I'm not even a cop but I can fucking sense it!!!!!!..'' I banged my fist against the counter. I had totally lost it now. Everyone's attention was on me right now and I didn't really care.'' You need to calm down Sir or we would just have to reprimand you!!'' The inspector flared. He was at the verge of loosing his patience.'' If you were not so busy gobbling up dounaughts ev

    Ladies and gentlemen, dinner is served'' The head maid spoke and with a click on a glass everyone started to dig into their meals.Okay, so now I had one main problem. Which fucking cutlery am I going to use. As I stared down the table everything seemed blur. There were like a hundred and one different spoons, forks and something that looked like knives? This is more frustrating than Math formulas and calculus. Everyone seemed to ignore each other, even surprisingly Andrew had no problem using his. Well, he had some help from his girlfriend, Rae who sat by him.....Obviously. I was frantically looking around for some kind of help. ''Use the third spoon to your left …” I heard someone say from beside me. Grateful, I turned to thank him only to stare deeply into the green orbs of Damian.''Th- thanks....Why are you helping me in the first place?'' I asked surprised and a little startled by his kind gesture. He rolled his eyes and pouted feigning hurt and sadness. '' Why don

    Bathing and dressing up took me a while, a little longer than I had planned. There were so many shampoos and soaps of different shapes, sizes and colours I failed to recognize. Some smelt like bubble gum, others fruits. It was just nice to blend them all together. I heard short rasps at the door. I opened it hoping it was Kat but that hope fell down the drain immediately I was met face to face with a red haired girl almost the same age as Kat wearing the same old uniform Kat was wearing a day ago. She had outstanding light maroon eyes, so clear and so big. I wouldn't say she was breathtaking but she was pretty enough. She looked like the timid and shy type. ''Your presence is needed in the dining chamber at once by the mistress of the house, Madam Elizabeth.....'' She coughed as if she had memorized every single word before coming here.'' The dining chamber?.... Don't you mean the dining hall instead? And where is that even?....''''I was just sent her to deliver the messag

    ''We are leaving .....''''Leaving?....leaving to where?'' I asked disbelief throbbing my heart. ''We are going to my home, actually my pack house''''And what are we going to do there?''''Well, my dear little Sky.....as it turns out you clearly can't use your supernatural senses to its full yet. You are too powerful and it is feared that you may not be able to control your powers. It might override you. You and your brother are in danger. Those guys we were running away from need you for their psyco plan to supposedly take over the supernatural world.....'' He quirked rolling his eyes. ''Sounds like something out of The Originals.....'' Andrew added. ''So let me get this straight, we are going to the pack house to get trained and super powerful?.....'' ''Yeah''''But don't you think if Andrew and I get super powerful we would be weapons and it would be a free ticket for the bad guys to use us for their devious plans?''Damian sighed.'' No!.....if you were smart enough, you w

    ''Okay, now tell me who this girl is to you'' I mused pointing to the picture with a goofy smile plastered on my face. ''Are you bi-polar or something? One time you are sad because you're sleeping in the living room and the next moment you are happily asking questions about something that is none of your business'' He asked emphasizing on the 'none of your business' part. ''Is she your girlfriend?'' I asked wiggling my eyebrows at him.''Why don't you want to tell me?...Cats got your tongue?''''She is someone very important to me, we shared our whole life together and you are nothing but an annoying stranger who likes barging her nose in other people's private matters. Since you are clearly not welcomed here, get the fuck out and stop pestering me!'' He fumed pushing me from the back towards the open door. I scurried myself out of his grasp and stomped out of his room angrily. Immediately I was out of his room, the door flew shut. I flinched, hot tears streaming down my cheek

    As we got closer to the house I had a whiff of a familiar scent. I inhaled deeply to make sure my unstable senses were not deceiving me. The closer we got, the stronger the scent was. The saddest part is that I couldn't place a finger on who or what it was. Curiosity and anticipation were slowly killing me as I stood behind Damian waiting for him to slide the door open..As soon as the door crept open, I was certain to whom the scent belonged. I followed my instincts down into what looked like the kitchen despite the faint calls of my name behind. As I stepped into the kitchen, my eyes immediately fell on him crouched on the counter, mouth glued to the glass tip. His muscles bulging out of the grey short-sleeved shirt he wore.He sensed my presence as if by magic, his body stiffened and immediately turned, eyes jiggering around as if looking for someone. Finally, his gaze landed on me, his eyes widened a fraction. He looked as handsome as ever, his grey eyes matching perfectly with

    A chilly breeze blew through the window, I shuddered closing it shut. I noticed something... Or should I say somethings...... moving.... no, running in the woods. I got scared for a second there but then shrugged it off. Maybe its just some wild cats running around chasing some nocturnal bats, I thought. Those thoughts were immediately shattered when several forceful bangs on the door rippled through the house. BANG! BANG! BANG!''I'm coming! I'm coming!.... The door is not made of metal you know!'' I shouted toppling down the wooden stairs. I cringed at how loud the noise got. '' Hold your horses, I'm here....Gosh!''I hastenly swung the door wide open. I was met face to face with a very tired looking guy. His hair was dump, he reeked of sweat. I crunched my nose sizing him up and down. He wore a black, body hugging short-sleeved shirt. The front of it was ripped by what looked like claws. I gasped the wounds were fresh. ''Urmm.....can I help you?....'' I crooked wearyingl

    I heard rapid footsteps hastenly approaching me from behind.''Andrew please leave.... I want to be left alone''''No. I can't. I can't leave you alone.''''As you can see I'm perfectly fine. Leave!''''We need to sort things out Sky! We need to discuss this....this situation''''How did you find me in the first place? I thought I blocked out my scent''''Yes, you did. I couldn't smell you but I could smell a wet dog. I could smell another werewolf nearby. I thought you were in danger''''Were you alone or were you with someone?'' Andrew asked''No, I was alone. That's none of your business anyway!'' I barked harshly.''Why are you angry at me? Its not my fault this is happening to us. I didn't know we were siblings. I didn't know you were my sister. I am much of a victim as you are '' I hated to admit it but Andrew was right. I was angry at him for no reason. It wasn't his fault we were in this shitty situation. Why was I venting my anger and frustration on him. '' I...I agree

    A flash of light blinded my vision which was soon followed by the sound of thunder echoing through the sky. Normally, I would be afraid of thunderstorms but Andrew sat right beside me so I felt safe. The wind blew here and there creating tiny splatters on the window pane. The leaves of trees rustled everywhere, twigs flying in the air. There was a really bad storm coming our way. Although it wasn't raining, the rain was inevitable. I could sense its dusty scent from a mile away. The darkness that clothed the sky didn't help the situation. Even the moon refused to shine and the stars lay dormant.''Sky? You awake?'' Andrew spoke out.''Yeah...''''There is something you need to know''I was drowning in my own thoughts when the door which had been shut for almost an hour creaked open. In walked a very distressed looking Jane, with mom and Derrick toppling hastenly behind.''Andrew?, Sky?....we have something very important to discuss with you'' Mom spoke.''Andrew, please take a seat

    '' I know your mission here has been accomplished... And mom...before you leave I just wanted you to know that I hate you, with every fibre in me'' Andrew spat dangerously.Jane just turned around.'' I know'' She scoffed feeling indifferent.As soon as her fingers grazed the metallic knob to leave, the door burst open sending Jane toppling backwards. She was saved by the strong arms of Derrick, her husband. Luckily.''I'm back, love bir-'' Mom boomed holding two paper cups in a tray. As soon as her eyes fell on Andrew's parents her eyes went wide, the paper cups slipped from her shaky hands sending steaming hot, brown liquid spilling all over the white tiled floor.''Jane?'' She whispered.What? Mom and Jane know each other? How was that even possible?''Oh my God! Ruby?''Now they were just standing stiff looking at each other with wide eyes.''Ahem!...Umm... What's going on here?'' Andrew interrupted looking at Mom then back at his parents.''Jane ,Derrick can I have a word with yo
