STORM

A noise wakes me up.

I detangle from the limbs and arms holding me as I groggily stumble out of bed. The boys groan when I slip away but they don’t wake up.

I don’t know what it is, but I go downstairs as the chatter grows louder and louder. It is coming from outside.

It's 7 am on a Saturday, which means we all slept in after the party yesterday.

I open the door to be met with a crowd of unfamiliar faces, all in my driveway.

What the fuck?

When they hear me, they all turn to look at me and they … smile. And then start to clap and cheer on.

I have never been confused as I am now ever in my life. I step outside, confused, as I look at all of them. They part a path for me as I walk slowly in the crowd and they cheer on clapping and seeming happy. I can't help but smile as well even though I barely know what's going on.

And then a figure emerges from the crowd.

    STORM “hey Dad, I can't believe this is all happening. I am doing things and meeting people I never thought I could in a million years could. I met some of our pack members who have been hiding and some are even telling me they knew you.” I can feel tears rolling down my cheeks but I swipe them away. “it's beautiful and scary at the same time. I have always dreamt of this but now it is here, I don’t know if I can do it. I am afraid I will ruin it all as I have done in the past, I destroy beautiful things. “I have the boys with me by my side, and they all love me and tell me they are with me every step f the way.” I sniff as my hand automatically goes to my belly. I close my eyes as I feel tears flood again. “I have a secret I have not told them because I don’t know if it is true. I am so scared and afraid that they will leave me when I tell them this. I don't know if I can do this by myself and if I even want to do this at all.” My body rocks as I sob silently on the hard ground

    STORM Pack meetings, talking, and getting to know my people have been the highlights of my days I feel like a different person. Here I am, talking about finding ways to bring some of the members to Ridgewood and put their roots here as we restore the homes that were destroyed. I feel grown and most of all, I feel responsible. Magdaline, as she insists I call her, has been with me all this time. The boys have bought a home that is so grand I thought I was dreaming when they first took me there. “It's all yours, and if you will have us, we would love to live with you,” Cole had told e as I stood in front of the gates. The mansion is secluded, tall trees hide most of it from the outside eye and the black gates opened as I took step in. Some vines were up tangling with the trees some extended close to the balconies. Glass walls and high walls, it is my dream house. When I got to see the whole of it, I realized just how huge the place is. The back extends to a man-made forest that l

    LANDONThis meeting sucks.I thought coming back home I would be having the time of my life, cozying up with the love of my life, and having sort of an endless summer being free and a senior but this has been so rigid and serious I want to rage out.I have not enough time with her, and I feel like I want to be close to her more than ever, probably because of all the pack business robbing me of any time but it's stronger than that.I want to be with her in bed all day, making love to her and holding her to me.That’s why the betas we chose, the ones that I liked a few days ago are grating on my nerves.

    STORMThe first thing when I open my eyes is if my baby is okay.I don’t know where I am and how long I have been knocked off but my head is in pain. I am on a cold floor, the room has a small window high on the wall, with rails to prevent anything from getting in or out. I wince when I move, the pain in my head biting.I touch my forehead and my fingertips coat with blood. Probably from when that bitch knocked me off with her boots.I wrap my arm around my stomach as I stand up, feeling a little dizzy but I steady myself. Seeing a metallic door by the end of the room, I try it only to find it locked.I wasn’t expecting to be so lucky but I had to try.“fuck!”This is what I get for trying to make a goddamn friend? And where the fuck are they anyway?“Hey! I am awake you assholes come and get me!” I bang on the door as hard as I can and the actions grow more aggressive.I want to tear the door open but it's not carving under my strength. I kick and scratch and push but it doesn't budg

I didn’t, I had to keep it to myself.I straighten my shoulders as I lock eyes with Duke on the other side of the door.He is unpredictable, he is cunning, and a fucking creep. He just threatened the very thing I have come to love and be fiercely protective of in the last two hours than I have ever been to anything or anyone in my whole life.The keys he is holding are so close to the keyhole. He just needs to slide it in and twist it, and I will be free.“wait,” he pauses, looking away. “I don’t know if you will keep your word.”“you have all the power here, Duke, you are the one leading me here, and if you want me to keep my word, you have to keep yours first. And let me out, you will take me to them and they will let her go,” I talk to him like one would to a person who holds their freedom in their hands and they are crazy.“don’t try anything stupid,” he warns me, that glint

    STORM Landon and I have been on the road for a week now and right now, we are on our way back home. It's so early, and I am quiet in my seat as I look outside the window as he drives. My whole life changed when I met them, and I cannot take it back, every single of them. I don’t regret any of it. I have decided to go home knowing that there is always going to be darkness in me, it's there to stay, and the best part of it is, I have found boys who want to join in on my darkness. They have shared theirs and invited me into theirs. It's my time to let them in and invite them on in mine. For great love, you must go through the pain. To have all that you desire, you must sacrifice. Pain and love go hand in hand, for you cannot love if you don’t feel the pain of it, it goes together. You cannot know what you have until you have lost it all. And that’s what I realized during my break. I did what I had to do, even went away for a minute from my love to know how true that statement was.

    STORM The bar around ends up being a biker's bar, with several bikers packed at the front. I shouldn’t, it's rowdy, and if I am guessing, when they see me alone some will try to hit on me taking me for a fragile little thing that has ended up where she isn’t supposed to. Even before I let that thought to sink in, I am already opening the door, the little bell at the top of the door chiming, and the whole bar goes quiet, all eyes turning towards me. I pause, taking it all in and all the people in. Burly men, tattoos covering their skins heavily, leather jackets and studs on some, a few girls on their laps, and they all look mean and menacing. I proceed to walk towards the tabletop counter where a woman bartender is watching me. everyone is watching me and after I sit down, when they realize I am not going away, they resume their talking. “what will you have?” she asks as she wipes a glass with the towel. “something that will make sure I have a good time tonight,” I reply as I hol

    STORMDemons - Hayley Kiyoko is blasting off my speakers as I speed past cars on the highway. Singing along as I beat the steering wheel, wind in my hair as I come from a kill that left me freshly rejuvenated.It should worry me a great deal that the only thing that’s making me feel alive again is killing, but that thought only makes me laugh.I mean, who am I to deny who I am? Maybe it was destined for me to finally embrace this dark side of me without painting it to be a burden, like a means to an end to my purpose.I have no purpose now, other than to feel me again and love me.That’s a good purpose, I didn’t think I was all about self-love and all, I think to myself as I look at my blood-caked nails.I need to find a place to sleep in tonight, perhaps eat human food, cook of course, and sleep. Then tomorrow I do the same thing, I have a long list of people to unalive.I find a motel and check in, and I thank the gods for the showerhead, which has a fairly decent water pressure.I

    STORMI never thought it could happen, but it is.I am standing by my Impala, looking at Ridgewood one last time before I speed away and I feel like I am leaving my soul and heart behind.This could be one of the things I will ever regret doing. I can't seem to remember why I am doing this because it hurts so much, but it's all for the better.I wipe away the tear sliding down my cheek and get in my car, revving the engine and speeding away.Back on the road again, alone, leaving all that I have ever wanted behind.I open my compartment glove and I find my old burner phone. I flip it open and find the number I am looking for.“hey Stevie, I need a job.”“Long time Cherry, where are you?”I am heading north, can you find me something worth my while?”“anything for you, but aren’t you rusty? Rumour has it-““Are you sending me the coordinates to a good hunt or not? I didn’t take you for a gossip.”“All I am saying is, now you are not as incognito as before, be careful out there.”“I did

    KYLE It’s a rainy gloomy day. It must be matching with my moods and those around me as we all await our bride to walk up to us. The ceremony is being held outdoors, the planners had thought that the day would be sunny and warm, but the rain has started and hasn’t stopped since an hour ago. I don’t mind, as I know this is not exactly how I wanted us to do this so here we are. “why did she not choose the other location that was offered?” Dean asks me quietly as we stand at the front of the huge tent serving as our shelter. They still managed to pull it off with the lowers, it would look magical was it not for the bitterness and bad taste in my mouth about this day. “doesn't matter, we are not here to party, we are just a means to an end for her to leave us,” I respond to him. “Can we all stop doing this? It's already in motion so let's get this over with,” Landon mutters. None of us have been in good shape or moods since last week when she said that she wanted to leave and the o
