Running!

Chapter 1:

BPOV

My brother Seth and I were just comming back from a movie. It was around ten o'clock or so and it was pitch dark. We had taken Seth's Farrari because my truck was in the shop. Seth has more of a love fore nice cars whereas I love my beat up pick up truck just as well. We pulled into our three floor house and noticed that the lights were all on. Usually Mom and her boyfriend Phil would be in bed by now. Seth handed me the drink I got from the theatres and helped me out of the car. We were just laughing about a joke when we reached the porch steps and heard a shriek.

Seth looked at me with fear in his eyes. "Bella stay out here okay? I mean it! Do not come inside!" My only reply was to nod my head vigorously. He took that as his lead to enter this house. Truth be told, Seth and I were very close. We don't socialize with the people at school because we find no need. Seth is a werewolf, and we've always found that it's easier to stick with our own kind.

I heard Mom and Seth yelling in from the house. The pit of my stomache was churning. What if they were in danger? Why is Mom screaming like that?

I decided to disobey Seth and go to find out what was happening. No one was in the living room so I followed the screams up the staircase. I turned towards my mother's room and screamed. She was lying on the floor bleeding to dealth. And Phil was standing over her. But not in a protective, "are you alright" pose. But he had actually killed her himself.

Phil started to walk towards me with a grim look on his face. Seth and I both knew what he was thinking gunna go for me. Seth launched himself at Phil. Knocking him down, kicking and screaming on the floor. Seth had just found out he was a werewolf but unlike others like him who couldn't control there phasing, he had trouble to phase.

I took this as my que to call the pack. Jacob was the first I found and I quickly dialed. After two rings he picked up,"Bella? What's the matter?"

I took in a deep breath,"Phil just killed my mother," I blurted out, tears streaming my face,"Him and Seth are fighting because Phil was going to kill be but Seth is having trouble phasing we need help now-" I was cut off. Phil grabbed my phone and through it out the open window of their bedroom.

"Now I don't need you in my way, Isabella," He said in a gruff voice from fighting Seth, "You are going to stand aside while I take your brother, or I will make things very hard for him!"He threatened. He had Seth by the neck with a knife.

I was sobbing uncontrollably now,"Leave him alone!" I choked out. He let out a dark chuckle and I continued. "Leave him alone or I will kill you!" I sneered.

Seth looked a little taken back at my words,"Bella please I'll be fine okay? I promise. I can handle myself."He too was crying. I couldn't take it anymore. The pack was no where to be seen so I had to take action. I looked over at the table behind me. It had a knife laying on top of it. I pretended to cower in fear and kept backing up until my thighs hit the edges of the table. I felt with me hands and finally felt the tip of the knife. I grabbed the end and ran at Phil. I ended up stabbing him in the arm.

He cried out in pain. Thrashing and swearing. I grabbed Seth's hand, "come on! Hurry!"

We ran down the stairs as fast as we could. Apparently when we entered the house Phil had thrown something and broke the car somehow. But we had no time to repair it so we just ran. Our mother's house was on the outskirts of the woods so we ran there as fast as we could.

Seth changed into wolf form after he said, "Keep running as fast as you can okay?"

I had only nodded my head and kept running. I was now by myself. It was dark so I kept stumbling and hitting things. I was doing fine until a flashlight came from the distance and Phil's voice came afterwards, "Get back here!"

I continued to run until I stumbled on a tree root and knocked my head hard on the ground. I started falling into unconciousness and the last thing I heard was the growl of a wolf.
