The apartment door was knocked carefully, I frowned slightly since it was too late for anyone to be looking for me; maybe it's Clark just coming to annoy me, as usual. I turned off the TV and hurried to get up, slowly making my way to the door. It was past midnight and it was too cold, but that didn't stop my pajamas from being too short, cloth shorts, and my shirt from being a tank top. The only thing that kept my feet warm was my white socks that reached a little above my knees.I opened the door, meeting the least expected person.-Did I wake you up? -Connor asked me, his hands in his front pockets. My heart started beating faster and my legs felt weak. That made me feel him, he grabbed me from everything just by his presence. His gaze roamed over my body and I could see a spark of lust in his dark eyes.-No, I was watching a movie," I replied nervously, "Do you need anything?His gaze returned to my eyes; he remained thoughtful for a moment and then went into my apartment and clos
-Oh my God, it's the wolves," I whispered, lighting up the forest. I felt Nicholas position himself next to me; my hair was starting to wet my shirt.-Wolves? Why do you say that? -he questioned. I looked at him, trying to see some amusement or something in his look, it wasn't possible that he hadn't heard the howl, indeed, he and his friends got them into the maze the other time.-Are you deaf or what? One just howled," I scolded. Nicholas looked thoughtful.-I didn't really hear anything," he scratched his chin, "Are we leaving or what? -he put on his cap.-We can't leave like this, there are wolves there," I insisted in a low voice. We need to defend ourselves with something.-Jade, there are no wolves," he put his hands on my shoulders. Just relax.-Are you sure about that? -I took his hands away. I still haven't forgotten that you sent us to the labyrinth and that the wolves killed those girls," saying that I started to walk forward, maybe they are not around.-What are you talki
I was embarrassed, of course I was. The fact that Connor might think the worst of me made me sick. I have no idea who the hell recorded that. I don't even know at what point it happened. I put a hand to my head totally confused.-Jade, are you all right? -Clara asked, looking at me with some concern.I nodded, looking at Connor who was being pushed aside by his other teammates. Connor looked angry, I had never seen him like that.-You have been warned," he pointed to Nicholas. Connor started walking in my direction, towards the exit. He looked at me for a millisecond. Disappointment. That's what I saw in his eyes. As he passed me I turned and followed him. I had to explain, I couldn't leave things like this.-Connor! -I called out to him as I went out into the hallway, but he didn't turn around. -I ran after him, grabbed his arm and spun him around.-What do you want, Kenzie? -she sputtered. His eyes were darker than usual, it puzzled me a bit I admit. But I ignored him.-It's not wha
CONNOR.Shit. Shit. Shit.I can't believe what I did, damn I hate myself. I pushed Kenzie. I know she got hit and she denied it. She's still the same girl I knew, I can tell. But seeing her in that video with Nicholas.... Just thinking that I clench my fists and punch the nearest wall I have.-Calm down, man," Jack says to me. We were at the mansion, the five of us together. Gabe, Sam, Jack, motherfucker Nicholas and me.-It's not like it's a big deal," says Nicholas, holding an ice pack to the right cheekbone of his eye.-Shut up," I snapped.-We shouldn't keep doing this," says Sam. It's not right.We had decided to get together because a lot of people have doubts about what they do, bring girls and then take them to the labyrinth.... The first time I agreed to do it was when I found Kenzie. I would never murder people for pleasure. Nicholas, Gabe and Jack are the only ones who had inaugurated that years ago. They were on their own. No one was guiding them so they were lost in the d
I felt tremors, I admit it, my heart broke more than it already was. But I took a deep breath and lifted my chin. Maybe Connor changed in these months, he's not the same anymore, he doesn't... love me anymore. And it hurts to accept that. But it would be the right thing to do. He deserves someone who won't lie to him. He deserves someone free.-Are you all right? -Clara asks, scanning my movements.I nod repeatedly.-Yes, I'm super," I smiled at him. Although I think it was too much.-We'd better leave the investigation until tomorrow," he says. I know I shouldn't, but I nod and we start walking to the car.I deserve this, I deserve this. I deserve to feel my heart break more and more with every single thing that happens. That is my punishment. When we get to the car I get into the passenger seat and Clara into the driver's seat. She looks at me for a moment.-Whenever you want to talk, Jade, I'm here," he says. I appreciate it, I really do.-Thank you," I sobbed.Clara starts up and
-No, what are you doing? -I ask Connor when I see him getting on his bike without a helmet, he is drunk and angry with me.He turns and looks at me.-Don't talk to me, Kenzie, don't talk to me," he repeats as he turns it on.-Connor, please, I didn't mean to sell our son. We need to get money," I tell him. Our son was a chick.-You sold it to the White Chickens, Kenzie! -he reproaches.-I thought they wanted him to give him to the mother hen. They told me that she had lost her son and had been left in trauma. That's why I agreed to give it to her. It was for a good cause.He looks at me and shakes his head.-You killed him," he says, "You killed our son.And he leaves.-Connor, come back! -I shout. Come back!-Kenzie," I feel a jolt.-Connor, come back. I'll get chickie back. Come back.-Kenzieee!I opened my eyes immediately and evaluated everything around me.-What? Where is chick? -I blurted out without thinking. But I'm more surprised to see Carolina here, in my house, looking at
CONNOR.We arrived at the building and, carrying them, we managed to take them to my apartment.-I... I don't know what came over me, I swear," said Carolina, Kayler helping her walk. I was bringing Kenzie like this too but she hardly spoke. I guess she's just a little confused or... nervous.-All right, we'll talk about it," Kayler replies, sitting her down on the couch. I sit Kenzie next to her. The two of us stand with our arms crossed in front of them.-Kenzie? -I ask, getting her attention. She pretends to be oblivious, looking around.-Did you hear that? -I thought I heard a cricket.-It's not nighttime for that," I answer.-Again," he said. Carolina shakes her head and seems to understand that I am here and that she has not greeted me.-Connoor! -He stands up and hugs me, awkwardly, but he hugs me. I smile - I finally see you, you don't know how much I missed you - he separates and evaluates me - how have you been, have they treated you well, are they bothering you? Tell me who
KENZIE.I open my eyes very carefully, realizing that I am not in my apartment. I'm in a living room lying on the couch, something is next to me too. I look in that direction, I can breathe easy when I see Carolina there, asleep.I winced as I felt a tremendous headache, where am I? And then memories come to me: Clara, Carolina and I going to the party at the lake, the three of us drinking, dancing, saying stupid things, wanting to get into the lake and last but not least Kayler and Connor.I open my eyes in amazement realizing that we are in Connor's apartment and it's getting dark. Now I remember I got all sentimental and we even hugged. I feel my cheeks burning, did Connor really hug me, is he not mad at me anymore, does he want to at least be friends?I stir, shaking Carolina awake. There's no sign of the two boys in the apartment. And I think it's for the best, I don't want to look Connor in the face. I die of embarrassment.This one is moving and grimacing with displeasure.-No,
I woke up feeling voraciously hungry. It was like he hadn't eaten in days. I got up and sat on the bed, still groggy from sleep. Next to me was Elder, fast asleep. Had I been the one to awaken the wolf in him? Thinking about it scared me a bit... I got out of bed and went to the kitchen, but when I opened the fridge I saw that there was nothing inside: no meat, no vegetables, not even yogurt... How was I going to satisfy my hungry now? I took a deep breath to calm myself and tried to think clearly. He needed to find food... or something that could replace it for now. I suddenly remembered that Elder had some bottles of blood kept in his closet. I took them and opened them quickly; I needed to drink that fresh blood before fully transforming into a wolf.Breakfast ready: I went to the kitchen and got some eggs, bacon and hashbrowns from the fridge. I put them in the pan to fry them with olive oil. There wasn't much to do for breakfast, but I wanted it to be special because it was Eld
Elder kissed me passionately, his lips moving against mine in perfectly timed fashion. His hands ran down my back and he held me close to him, making our bodies merge into one. I wanted so badly to make love right now, to feel his warm body inside mine… But then Elder jerked away. "We can't," he said hoarsely. "The other wolves will be watching us." I was frustrated and disappointed, but I knew he was right. Although we couldn't be together yet, knowing that Elder felt the same way about me filled me with hope for the future.''fuck it'' he snapped and kissed me even more. Elder stared into my eyes and I got lost in his gaze. His lips moved against mine and his hands trailed down my back, pulling me close. I wanted so much to make love right now, to feel his warm body inside mine... Elder slowly took off his shirt, exposing his muscular torso. I stared at him, surprised by his beauty. Then I realized that he was naked too... and I was not wearing any clothes. Our eyes met and in that i
ELDERElder left the boarding school looking for Amara. He was carrying a flashlight and a knife, but he had no idea where to start looking for her. It was totally dark and cold outside, and Elder knew that wolves were dangerous in such conditions. But he was desperate to find his girlfriend, so he walked resolutely into the forest. The full moon shone through the treetops and Elder could easily see his way through them. Suddenly he heard a noise: it was as if something was moving right behind him... could it be Amara? He turned quickly, but there was no one there. He felt a chill as he thought that maybe it was a wolf following him to attack him… Shaking those terrifying thoughts from his head, Elder kept moving forward until he reached the skylight. There he saw Amara: she was sitting in the center of the clearing, completely immobilized by fear. Her eyes were wide and Elder guessed that he must be seeing the wolf slowly approaching her... Elder was sitting on the ground, his back ag
I woke up when I felt hands on my neck. I still couldn't open my eyes, but I realized that she was being kidnapped. She felt my attacker's rough breathing and the smell of sweat on her fingers. They took me up a steep path until I was finally able to open my eyes. She was in the middle of an unknown forest, surrounded by tall, bushy trees. There was no one in sight except my kidnapper, who introduced herself as Melania. It was obvious that she was a werewolf: she had the same physical characteristics as me and she smelled just like them. However, I did not perceive any trace of the pack to which she belonged; she must be a loner. "What do you want?" I asked her with a shaky voice. "Oh, I just wanted to meet you," she replied, smiling forcefully at me. "You've been hard to find." I didn't know how to answer him, so I remained silent, staring into her bright green eyes. I suddenly saw her lips part from her to reveal a pair of sharp fangs… and she then she attacked me! "Don't you dare do
''Amara, please relax,'' Flavia tells me, but I felt weird making out with her. She's a lesbian, I'm not. I felt so close to her that I could smell the sweet vanilla scent of her skin. Her lips were so close to mine... It was all I could do not to kiss her. She knew that if she did, she wouldn't be able to stop. So I stayed still and tried to suppress my desire. But then she moved even closer and her lips brushed against mine... I couldn't resist any longer, so I kissed her hard. She answered me immediately and her hands began to explore my body. I felt like she was on fire... Never before had she felt like this with anyone. Our tongues intertwined over and over again in a passionate dance, our bodies pressed against each other... I wanted to get her out of the car and take her somewhere where we could be alone, but I knew it was dangerous: if we were found out, we could seriously hurt the relationships between our families. So we finally broke apart, both gasping from the intensity o
The full moon peeked through the forest, unable to rest. She felt like the Moon was snowballing her way from this planet to the other, and all she saw was drastic changes in natural tracks until the end of time. So she listened to something very harsh from the Moon that had begun its journey to the oceans for seven million years and she did not know when she would be next to her love again. She was a kind of spiritual member of the Space Wind, for that reason he felt her presence with more intensity and breathed the laughter of his answers, until the Sun went out...The fire was so big that the sky looked like a very luminous black cloth. Elder knows that the full moon is special because there are wolves like him in the forest, but he has never seen a light so bright to see them. Under the fire, his eyes were white and disenchanted.''Elder'' his father called him and the full moon came to his door. The wolf was very sad and asking for help to get out of this situation, Elder replied:
The next day Amara received classes at the boarding school; the first thing she left behind was a sheet of text with the words she had written to him. She was as if she was with nobody, and so she was more and more: most of the time she was left alone, until finally her mother no longer visited or called.Despite the fact that the last time he spoke to him was last Friday, yesterday morning he was in his room around noon; already with a white shirt and black pants, with his small glasses hanging in his right hand. Just like every other day, he approached the front door of the room, but never entered it. He barely felt his presence and just said "What is it?" sometime, but no more. The day before was similar, however. Once he told her that she was never coming back, and he asked if he wanted to see her as soon as he could, he was able to contain himself to crack a smile and reply, "Yes, I'll send you."And there then, before he wasted it, he put on his father's white t-shirt and field
''Please let me go,'' I begged Jean Paul's father. She had me kidnapped."I won't, Amara, until Jean Paul shows up"Love and love, dear father of Jean Paul. It doesn't make your grave bigger. Memories of you remain forever in my heart...The clock had already run out for the whole day: night had not yet come. Sometimes the bed was a kind of life, as if it were his own land; other times the bath or the enemas seemed if they were pieces of art. In the best of cases, that was my last breakfast of loneliness and rajones. The father's face was looking at each other while he cried and thought.In the friendly environment of the bedroom, the father tried to convince me that I would give myself to him soon, but I preferred to hide on the way out.After all, the entrance door of the dormitory was full of prisoners. An insider informed us that the bosses were in the courtyard, where they were talking to the guards who were going to look for Jean Paul. The afternoon had already ended and the roa
Amara and her friends Flavia and Mell spent a lovely afternoon at their picnic. Heaven made it feel like they were going to dance, but it wasn't anything wrong. The park was full of corn, water and forests that seem to blow. The children had fun along the way. Of course, Amara started talking to them about the big things: the police, the Templars, the gang members, and the little drugs… Well, some of the other characters had other ideas. Like the Carnival mask, which is a person that Amara doesn't understand why she likes it so much. That gave Flavia and Mell a bit of a spark… I don't know if she meant to be carnivalesque, but maybe it was a great idea. Finally everything ended perfectly. And Amara and her friends came out with the magic of Carnival. The girl told her that although I don't know who she was, she was a very good person.The next day, Amara went to her class and woke up in a huge rush. She felt like the hours of sleep were lacking. Taking advantage of her energy, she did
