Chapter Six

~Lina

I woke up with a throbbing headache. It was a long night and I only got to sleep for a few hours. This was too much to handle. Why were so much things happening in one single week!?. I knew there were wolves but now lycans also existed. It was terrifying and I can't remove the image from my head. The size of it, the way it growled and was ready to come after us. 

I felt traumatized. After my dad spoke to the Alpha we went inside and head to bed. I saw him again. There was something puzzling going on. When I saw him my body heated up and I felt this pull towards him. I didn't know why. I needed answers but to what? This just doesn't make any sense to me. It felt like we were connected but why?

If it wasn't for him, last night we definitely would've become lycan meat. 

But I'm glad that my father helped that girl even though I sensed something strange about her. I mean, what person would be out in the woods at that time of the night? I was suprised to see her actually obeyed the Alpha and went with him. Maybe she wasn't human? But what else could she be? All I know was that she was no wolf. 

I sighed before leaving the bed and going to the bathroom. I stopped in my tracks as I remembered that I was going to visit grandma. I stripped off all my clothes and hopped in the shower. I was excited to visit because I needed a break from here. I want to clear my mind and what better place that the quietness of Grandma's place?.

After about ten minutes I exit the shower and left the bathroom. I decided to put on a white hoodie and a pair of grey shorts. My room door was burst open as Avan entered with a frown on his face.

"Do we really have to go?", he asked as I tilted my head at his silly question.

"Yes we do. Alot has been happening lately and I want to clear my head. So start packing and you could also d******d a few movies on your phone to keep you occupied", I replied as I took out my small travel bag. It could hold enough clothes for three days.

"I don't know why you enjoy being there so much. She literally has nothing to do. The place is dead", he said as he crossed his arms. Typical Avan who only enjoys watching football. Anything else is boredom for him.

"Well, I'm going with or without you so chose wisely", I replied smiling cheekily at him. 

"Fine, but don't force me to enjoy myself when we get there", was his last words before he left the room. He was so miserable. I went to my closet and found three comfortable outfits and fit them in my bag. 

After getting everything sorted I went downstairs and towards the kitchen. I inhaled deeply as a tasty smell hit my nose. Mom was preparing buttermilk pancakes and they were the best thing ever. 

"Morning mom", I say as I took a seat around the table. 

"Morning sweetie, your grandma is very excited for the visit. Clyde is already on his way to pick you guys up".

"Who is Clyde?", Avan asked as he entered the kitchen. I was also thinking the same thing because I had no idea who mom was talking about. Grandma lived alone and not once did I ever see this Clyde person the times I visited. 

"Oh, I forget to tell you. He's your Grandma's friend. He's been staying at the house for a while now", mom replied before placing the pancakes on the table. My mouth watered at the sight. 

I shared mine first and dug in. I still felt a little tired because I didn't get as much rest last night. I kept tossing and turning until I eventually fell asleep. Sometimes I think that my mind, also has a mind of its own. I will be wanting to do one thing but it just doesn't let me. 

"Since you guys won't be home your father and I will be taking a trip as well. We want to have some fun too", mom say as Avan and I looked at each other. You could see it in his face that he wasn't excited one bit. I'll just have to try and cheer him up on the way. 

"By the way, where's dad? I haven't seen him all morning", I asked as I finished my first pankcake. 

"He left extra early this morning, something came up at the office and his boss wanted to see him".

"I'm going to finish packing", Avan said before getting up and leaving the kitchen.

"Are you ok Lina?".

"Yes mom, why did you ask?", I replied as I looked at her. I mean, alot has been happening but I was feeling alright. 

"You know, with everything that's been going on. Last night was pretty scary and confusing to be honest. We could've gotten hurt by that...lycan was it? All these supernatural creatures are driving me crazy", she said sounding a bit stressed. 

"It's ok mom, don't worry too much", I say as I caresses her hand. It's a good thing we were leaving this place for a while. Everyone needed to clear their heads and relax.

"So you're Clyde?", Avan asked as the man smiled and looked at us.

"Yes I am, let's go, you're Grandma is waiting for you", he said as he took our bags and placed them in the trunk of the car. 

He was definitely not what I expected. He was tall and seemed to be in his early thirties. His hair was black and styled in a low cut. He was dressed casually yet very stylish.

"So, how did you meet my grandma?", Avan asked once we were inside the car. 

"Well, I met her when she was out shopping. I carried her bags for her and well she invited me over for dinner. She's the sweetest old lady I've ever met and her games were quite fun", Clyde replied as I smiled a bit. He was right, grandma was the nicest person on earth.

"That's nice but don't her games ever get boring?", Avan asked as I slapped his arm. He groaned in pain but I didn't care. He was being dramatic.

"Well not really. We mostly play scrabble and poker and those games are lit. I'm good but not as good as her".

"Interesting, we will have to play a few games then", I say as he smiled through the rearview mirror. 

The day was nice and sunny. Avan placed had his earpods in as he watched something on his phone. I wasn't a fan of earpods because of their charging ability. I rather earphones that requires no charge. I relaxed in my seat as I watched the trees go by. Persons always sensed the woods to be scary or deadly but they can also be calming. The birds and insects and the woods are never quiet. The scariest part are the creatures that lurks there. 

"So Lina, no school for the rest of the week?", Clyde asked as I sat up in my seat.

"No, a fight broke out so the principal announced that school will resume on Monday", I replied as he took a left turn then stopped the car.

"Let's grab a bite to eat", he said as I unclasped my seatbelt and exit the car. I waited for Avan who was moving really slow before we made our way into a convenience store. 

"Get anything you want then meet back at the cashier", Clyde stated before walking off to the back of the store. I went down the second aisle as I tried to decide what chips I wanted. I took up a pack of spicy cheetos and a sour cream lays. I didn't like chips that were made in the original, I liked lots of flavor in anything am eating. I was about to turn and walk off when a hand connected with one of my ass cheeks. 

I turned around immediately and saw a creep standing there. He was smirking as he eyed me up and down. I stared at him in disgust before he started approaching me. 

"Hey back off!", I say before I was pushed behind someone. I heard a growl and I looked up at Clyde who's eyes had changed to a darker color. I stared in the shock as the guy started trembling before turning and running off. Clyde's eyes met mine but he only placed a finger on his lips.

"Sshhh", he said before I saw Avan approaching us. 

"Is everything alright?", he asked as he looked between Clyde and I. I nod and smiled as I turned and started walking back slowly. This was getting to my head now. 

I sighed as I felt a headache coming on. This was just the beginning of three days away from home. And I just found out that a wolf will be in the same house as us. 

Just great.
