Hey guys, so I was tired of missing Maddy so I wrote my own Reunion story. I am Canadian so sorry if some of the words/slang are not accurate...I tired. I don't own Wolfblood, I just really like it. Enjoy!
Rhydian laid his head back on the pillow; breathing in the familiar scent. When images of Maddy flash through his mind it sent pain to his heart. He never told Shannon or Tom about his frequent visits to the Smith's house, it wasn't something they needed to know. For a few minutes it made him feel like Maddy never left, but soon after came the remembrance; she was in Canada with her family.
Rhydian's mobile buzzed in his pocket. The call display told him it was Mrs. Vaughan. "Hello?"
"Rhydian, where are you?" Her voice asked from the other end.
"Sorry, I lost track of time. I am on my way back from Tom's." Rhydian held in a yawn as he rolled over on the bed.
"You know the rules, if you are going to be late you're suppose to let us know."
Rhydian sighed. "I know."
"Get home soon." With that she hung up.
Rhydian dragged himself off the bed, taking one more look around. He touched a picture of Maddy and Shannon that was posted to the wall, looking at the joy on her face. "Come home Maddy." He told her picture.
He always meant to feel better after coming, but he never did. Rhydian ran off in to the dark with a sad heart, stopping at the forest edge to call out in his wolf way. After moments with no answer he turned and made his way home.
…
Maddy pushed the food around her plate, not even wanting to eat. Her parents chatted on about the many things in the new town. She wasn't even sure where they were. "Love, is something wrong with the food?"
Maddy looked at her mum, eyes full of concern. "No." She huffed under her breath, continuing to push the food.
"Aren't you going to eat the food your mother prepared?" Her dad asked.
"I guess." She answered with a sigh.
"What's wrong Maddy?" Her mother reached across the table.
Maddy pulled her hand away. "I want to go home. I miss my school, my friends." She put her fork down and looked to both her parents. "You promised me when we got settled I could talk to them. When is that, a week, a month? It has already been three." Maddy could feel the tears rising.
"Love, it is not safe. We don't know what danger we could be putting them in by contacting them." Her mother's hand still sat in front of her.
"But by not contacting them we don't know what is going on. What if Dr. Whitewood knows about Rhydian, or had hurt Shannon and Tom. Anything could be happening right now."
"Sweetheart," Her father called her attention. "It is safer this way, they are all fine. Just eat your dinner it is getting late."
Maddy didn't like that answer, she went back to pushing food around her plate, thinking of the people left behind.
Maddy tried to get comfortable on the unfamiliar bed, her room smelled old and dusty. Mum said she they would clean it up and make it feel more like home, but there was only one home Maddy wanted. Footsteps approached her room, Maddy turned on her side away from the door and pretended to sleep, keeping her breaths even. The door cracked enough to shine a bit of light, after a few moments of silence it closed again. She heard her parents across the hall. "She is hurting Daniel. I don't like seeing her like this."
"I know, but we agreed this is what would be best."
"Maybe we should let her ring Shannon." Maddy's heart started to beat faster.
"Emma we have already put those kids in enough danger. We don't know what contacting them will cause."
"I can't help but think Maddy has a point, we don't know what is going on there, and maybe they solved the problem."
"Give it some more time and we will find a safe way to get a message to them, Maddy will be fine."
Maddy herd her mothers sigh in defeat, she wasn't going to push any more. The thought made her fast beating heart drop. She waited until her parents were sound asleep before moving, gathering a few things and put them in her rucksack. There was no harm in just finding out if everyone was okay.
She didn't need to sneak, they had been running for awhile and her parents were tired. Once she got outside she headed for the trees. "We can always find our pack." Maddy said aloud to remind herself. "Hang on guys I'm coming."
Maddy didn't need a map to know she wasn't in Canada; they never even got on the cargo ship. She knew she was far from Stoneybridge but it would only take about a week of running to get there.
Maddy set off to get back home. She wasn't kidding herself, as much as she wanted to be home and see her friends again, she knew most of this journey was fueled by her wanting to see Rhydian again. The guy finally asked her out and they had to leave. Her mind was full of the one kiss they shared and the coveted words they spoke out load. Maddy took fast running in to the night.
