I jolt awake to my name being called, it takes me a few seconds to process what was happening before I jump up. Cody was slowly sitting up from the other sofa, in the same moment Justin begins to shout my name once again, this time it was closer than before. I run up to the door of the basement locking it as I went, I knew this would just confirm to Justin that I was down here but it would at least give me a few more seconds to think of an excuse. Cody was already on his feet as I make it to the bottom of the staircase, he didn't look as though he was in any pain which was kind of shocking, he literally got shot yesterday!
"What are we gonna do? Justin is gonna come down here and see you and-" I start to ramble as my name continues to be shouted, I could tell by his tone he was getting worried and a little annoyed.
After an hour I had filled 7 notebooks while Reece, was just about done with his first. He was exactly like this at school then on the way home he'd copy my work, once he actually walked into a lamppost due to writing while walking.This little study session had uncovered some interesting things, it's also made me kind of believe that the werewolf people are out there. Let's start from the beginning, werewolves live in packs like most animals, they have a leader called an Alpha. Each werewolf also has a mate, that is another person that is assigned to you by the moon goddess. The Alpha's mate is called the Luna and they both rule over the pack, but there are some wolves who don't have a pack. They're called rouges and from what the books are saying, aren't very nice at all!Maybe Martha is Scott's mate, there's a few things I could look out for
It was now late that same day, the whole day the town was just littered with police who were making sure everyone remained in their homes. My dad kept ringing me and demanding I tell him what I knew, of course I would sweetly reply that I hadn't a clue what he was talking about. I wasn't like Justin and just throw my friends under the bus for no good reason, well a justifiable reason.What Reece said earlier did get me thinking, what was Justin doing outside my bedroom door? But also he must have had his head on my door to hear what we were saying, what did he think me and Reece were doing up there?! Has he ever done that before when I've been in my room? This whole situation has just brought up so many new questions, mostly around the intentions of Justin.Reece had just gone to bed when I lock my bedroom door, while Justin slept on a blow up m
I jolt awake suddenly, someone was banging repeatedly on the front door. My heart was pounding in my chest as I get to my feet, why the hell would someone be banging on the front door like that?!I make my way out my bedroom and down the stairs, where Reece who also looked as though he just woke up was by the front door. He sends me a confused look before opening the door, there stood a young police officer with his arms crossed."Sorry to wake you so early, but the police need to urgently check all the females for a mark" he says where his eyes glance to me for a second, Reece moves in front of the door as the police attempts to walk in."Okay first of all, don't just assume you can walk straight into the house and second, she's just woke up at least let her get changed" he s
I slowly start to feel my body again to discover I'm laying on the floor, a hint of confusion takes over my senses. As I become more with it I discover that as I've said, I was on the floor but my head wasn't. It didn't feel like the ground but someone's lap, who's lap could I be laying in? And more to the fact, why am I laying in their lap?My eyes slowly open where it takes a few seconds for my eyes to adjust, before I discover who's lap I'm laying in, Cody's. His worried face was looking down at me with his hand running through my hair, sparks just spread wherever he would touch."You don't know how great it is to see your eyes open" he tells me relief filling his face, I was still pretty out of it but was slowly coming around."What happened?" I ask my head still on his lap, honestly, I didn't want to move until I had no
It was later in the day, my dad and I spoke for hours. He kept trying to skip over topics that he knew I would win any sort of debate, but after awhile I think I managed to get a few of my points across. I was now making some dinner when Reece walks through the door, he had bags of different things in his arms as he went. I send him a confused look which he soon catches onto, he dumps the bags on the floor making his way over to the kitchen."Don't ask me, your dad gave me a huge list of things with strict instructions not to miss anything! I had to go to three different shops to get it all" he sighs taking a seat at the counter, I take a look over at the bags for a second before turning back to the food I was making "Martha got to Scott safely, she kept thanking me and told me to thank you" he says from behind me, I turn around sending me a smile a huge feeling of relief takes over me once he said that.
I wake up in my back garden, I sit up totally confused on how the heck I got here. I fell asleep in the woods with that friendly wolf, did I somehow imagine that? No, I definitely fell asleep with that wolf in the woods, but how in the heck did I end up here? Maybe I woke up earlier and walked myself here, but I would have remembered that and I wouldn't have just stopped in my back garden. Could I have sleep walked? I've never done that before so I think it's highly unlikely that I would do it now, how the heck did I get here?!I rise to my feet looking around, I couldn't see anyone or anything, such as the friendly wolf, around me. It was a foggy morning which meant I couldn't see further than the tree line, but I'm pretty sure I couldn't see anyone there. I look down at myself and become even more confused, I was wearing a jacket! Now, that sentence probably doesn't sound too confusing right? It will when I tell
It was later in the evening, I hadn't done anything but sit in my room all day. I know you're probably thinking, why are you getting so worked up about this? Your mother had been missing for years and presumed dead, shouldn't you be happy that you know she's most likely alive? Yes I am so happy that she could be out there okay, but as soon as I start to feel like that something in me gets sad. If my mum did die that would have been the reason that she never came home, but if she's actually out there fine, then that means she could have come home but just didn't want to.I wonder if she's ever thought of us since she left, does she miss us? That's probably the first question I'd ask if she was stood in front of me, I have so many questions to ask if that actually managed to happen. If I were to start looking for her how would I? I wouldn't even know where to start. If I was about to track her down would she even wa
As I leave the woods I spot Reece stood by my front door with his arms folded, he smiles over at me lifting the walkie-talkie up to his mouth. He's probably telling everyone of my return, it's so predictable now."You're in so much trouble when your dad gets here" he smiles as I reach my house, I just smile opening my garden fence and walking in."That's why I'm gonna head to bed now and barricade my door, he might have calmed down in the morning" I smile placing a kiss on his cheek as a thank you before walking in the house.Once I reach my bedroom I do indeed push my chest of drawers in front of my door, also pushing my bedside tables to stand in front. Now I know some of you are thinking that bedside tables aren't that heavy, believe me when I tell you that mine are full to
It's been a week since I took control over the town, let me tell you it's been a blast. That night we had a huge party, it stretched from the pack house all the way to the centre of town. I thought the towns people would be nervous about having the pack members walking the streets, but it was the opposite. Everyone was just so happy that all the fighting and the fear could be over with, my dad was even smiling.Today was the day we move the border that separates the town and the pack, now this part of town is a part of the pack. Which according to Cody, makes up one of the biggest packs in the country! Which is a big thing according to him, I wouldn't know I'm still learning about all the pack things.Ethan got released from hospital yesterday, the doctor is right he's slowly making a full recovery. Mum and dad finally spoke too, they have a lon
It's been two days since everything that happened with Ethan, who has woken up and is doing okay. Yesterday the whole day was spent coming up with a plan to get into the town, we knew one thing for definite and that was I needed to get into the town. Which was why the planning was taking this long, Cody didn't want to put me in any danger so every plan he was turning down! Reece couldn't wait to get control of the town again, one so all this mess would be over but two, he could make Justin pay for what he did to Kayleigh.After a few long hours of going over plans, Cody finally agreed to one, only because him and most of the pack will be coming with me! Which honestly, I didn't mind too much because I wasn't thrilled about the idea of going in there alone if I'm being honest. We decided the best time to go into the town would be really early in the morning, before the sunrise kind of early.Th
"Ethan?" I ask confused that he was even ringing me, he's rang me a few times since we've found mum again but it's always been at night, just in case our dad finds out."Luna, you need to come to the border immediately, your brothers been attacked" one of the border guards says, this immediately makes my heart sink and tears well up in my eyes.I hang up the phone and don't even stop to tell the others what happened, I just need to get to Ethan immediately. As I bolt out the door I hear my mum shouting my name, but I didn't and couldn't stop. I zip passed a pack member after pack member. Some would ask if I'm okay but I couldn't answer, all I could think about was my brother.I soon arrive at that border where I see him, Ethan was laying on the floor with the border guard over him. I waste no time running over and knelling b
It's been a week since I spoke to Tristan, the day after I felt so bad still. Maybe I should have gone about the conversation in a different way, yes all those things needed to he said but maybe not in the way I did. Cody hasn't left my either, he's telling me it's due to the huge meeting he has, he won't be home for the entire day and some of the night. I told him he didn't have to make up for that, we have loads of other days that we can spend every minute with each other.Today was the day of his huge meeting, when I woke up he wasn't there but he did leave me a sweet note. Remember when we had that mini picnic in my bedroom, the night I found out he was a werewolf and what we are. I kept saying over and over again that he was the perfect guy, that still stands with all the sweet notes he leaves me. I couldn't have asked for a nicer mate, especially after everything with Tristan! He told me in the note he would
Just to get into the building was difficult, you needed to wait outside for ages telling them your name and if you've set a meeting up. Than a man comes out asking for ID and starts to search you, just in case you're sneaking something in to give to one of the patients. I wasn't really too bothered about this, all my mind was focusing on was what I was gonna say to Tristan. I knew I had to word what I was gonna say in a way that wouldn't set him off, last time I was here he was better but still not fully there.After what feels like forever, I'm escorted into the building. Once the door closes you hear all the locks locking, they really don't want these people to get out. I lock my things away in a little box at reception, before following the man once again. We walk for a few more minutes until we reach the meeting room, once the door opens I spot Tristan sitting at the table."Erika, I'm so
I wake up bright and early the next morning, all that was racing around my head was what I will tell Tristan. But not only that, I also had to work out what I was gonna tell Cody! I know if I tell him what I wanna do he won't let me, but this is something I need to do not only for myself, but also for Tristan. I don't want him getting out of where he is and having to find out that I've moved on, yeah he might have plotted to kill me but I still care about him enough not to put him through that.I was sitting in the kitchen when Cody runs down the stairs, he had a folder tucked under his arm while rummaging through stuff. I watch him for a few seconds, I thought I had more time to think of an excuse of where I'm gonna be today."Have you seen my keys?" He asks looking through a pot on the side, why would his keys be in there?
I had just wrapped up my storytelling moment, no one uttered a word or moved a single muscle. Martha looked as though she was gonna bolt at any time, while Scott and Cody stood there trying to wrap their heads around what I just told them."You lied to me" Scott mutters breaking the silence, at first I thought he was talking to me but he turns to Martha "everything you told me was a lie, you cared to leave out why that Tristan boy was trying to kill you, YOU TRIED TO KILL HER!" He shouts loosing his cool, I was more shocked he could actually shout that loud."You don't understand, I was jealous because Erika had everything, she had the boy, the family and she was just so beautiful" Martha says but I shake my head, this is what she always does! Whenever she's put in a situation where she's in the wrong, she attempts to make you feel bad so you fo
"Tristan please listen to me, you don't have to do this!" I plead with him while fighting him off, I knew if he managed to get me in the water who knows what he'll do."We could have been so good Erika!" He shouts still fighting against me trying his hardest to pull me in the water with him, out of the corner of my eye I spot someone walking over.Martha appears out of the bushes with her arms crossed, at first a huge relief takes over my senses. In my mind I thought she would run over and help but she didn't, she stood there with a smile on her face."That's it Tristan, get rid of her then you and me can live the life of our dreams" she laughs which makes my eyes just go wide, she was planning this with him!"No
I texted Ethan and told him I desperately needed to talk to him and my dad, this wasn't about the town or any borders but a family matter. I know Ethan will come no matter what, even if my dad were to tell him not too. The problem was if my dad was gonna come, he might think this is some kind of trap or something. I just need to prepare for anything, with that thought in mind I start heading towards the border.This was the first time I was making this journey alone, thankfully I walked it a few times so I wouldn't get lost. As I reach the border, I spot Ethan and just dad stood were waiting for me at that side. I send a smile over at them as one of the border guards makes his way over."The Alpha has informed us that you will having a talk with your family, we will be over there further away enough so we can't hear your private conversation, bu
