CHAPTER 2
SPOV
"We should get going," Sarge said "it's kinda late and we've got college and all tomorrow." We all started collecting ourselves.
"Can I have a look over this tomorrow?" Jeremy asked holding my sketchpad "Sorry I never got the chance."
"Sure thing," was my reply "you can give it back tomorrow after college tomorrow yea?"
"Ok, you're all coming straight after college," Elena said, "all of you," she said looking at Logan and Kat. We all got to the truck and climbed in; Sarge turned the key the truck made a spluttering sound, we all turned around and looked at the twins.
"Please tell me you put gas in our baby after you used it." I said to them, "you are both totally retarded."
"What," Stripes said "we were knackered after the drive back from picking up our motorbikes,"
"The tank wasn't empty;" Deek defended "there was like a quarter of a tank left."
"Looks like we're crashing in the van" Sarge sighed "I'll go tell the others why we're still sitting here." We all started getting blankets out, in the end we were looking like a big heap of bodies with arms and leg sticking out everywhere. It was uncomfortable but warm which was the important thing. I was crammed up against the back of the seats with Reds warm body wrapped around me, when Sarge came back and opened the doors so everyone save me and Red fell out of the truck on the floor.
"They said we can crash here." Sarge told us as everyone picked themselves up and I grabbed my school sketch book. We made our way across the grass and filled into the house. Red, Zee where sleeping on Logan's floor, I was shearing with Kat and Sarge, Deek and Stripes were crashing in the spare room. Sam had a problem with sleeping in the same room as other people. We all had a bag of clothes in the van for after we shift and we'd stuck pyjamas in their after getting stuck in the van for a night. Jeans are really uncomfortable to sleep in.
I had gone into the bathroom and was in the shower just feeling all the grim of the day wash off me, it felt so good. I freaking loved showers. I was contemplating getting out the shower when I hear the door open behind me. And spun around to find Logan standing there with wide eyes.
"Oh shit ... I didn't know..." He stammered
"Get the fuck out you pervert." I shouted Sam must have been passing the bathroom because as I shouted this, I saw a small blonde blur jump and land on Logan back. At this point I had turned off and jumped out the shower and wrapped a towel around myself. Sarong style.
"Leave. My. Friend. Alone." Sam said punctuating each word with a punch.
"Everyone calm down." Clay said as he attempted to peal a struggling Sam off his brother.
"Hey little man calm down, calm down." I said as I peeled him off. "Thank you for coming to my rescue."
"Did I do good?" Sam whispered to me.
"Yea Sammy boy you did real good." I said with a smile. He shot me one of the biggest grins I'd ever seen.
"Come on Sam, bedtime." Elena called
"Aww, mom do I have to." He called back.
"Yes you do, or you'll be no good at school tomorrow." She said in reply. "Why are there so many people in the bathroom?"
"I beat up Logan." Sam said puffing out his chest, "He we being a pervert."
"Ok." Elena said with a bemused expression on her face. "You still have to go bed now."
"Fine," He replied with a sigh as I put him down. "Night."
"It's ok everyone I'm fine." Logan said.
"It's your own fault." I said "shouldn't be creeping." And walked out.
Me and Kat were sat on her bed listening to music and I was getting the info on everyone at school.
"So how did all you guys meet each other." Kat asked
"Me and Red met up in a foster home when we were like 13," I told her
"He'd already got bitten he sort of blames himself for me getting bitten." I said with a shrug. "Sarge showed up a year later, he's a born werewolf and had just turned 15 when we met him he had his first shift a few months later."
"15 that's early for a first shift," Kat said "and what about the twins and Zee?"
"Red got me some art classes for my birthday, I show up there and half way through notice a guy had been staring at me the whole time, Red came to pick me up and smells him, Sarge and the twin showed up, there was some confrontation, they all got over it and we've been together ever since."
"And Sarge has always been your Alfa?" Kat asked.
"Yea even before his first shift he was always looking out for us, helping us through it, Sarge is a rock and I don't know what we'd do without him."
"I do." A voice said form the door, we glanced over and saw Red, without a shit. Now for me this isn't something new but Kat it looked like she liked what she saw.
"What's that then" Kat asked, they were blatantly flirting
"Everything we shouldn't." He said with a smirk, it felt weird watching this. Red is basically my brother. It felt dirty, I felt dirty.
"You out," Clay said to Red as he grabbed his arm and dragged him back to Logan room. "You two bed. Now, you've got college tomorrow." He said as he stuck his head back in the room. Kat threw a cushion at him and then stuck her tongue out at me for laughing. We both lay down and after about an hour I could tell from Kats breathing that she was asleep, that wasn't going to happen for me not for a long time if it ever happened. It rarely did recently, me and sleep we had a big fight and now aren't talking or if we are it's for short periods of time that was never fun. I had got very good at lying in bed contemplating life, organising the next day, analysing the day gone, making up stories getting lost in the madness that was my head and gorming were some of my more favourite night time activates. Some nights I was filled with this restless energy, like tonight, were I had to get up and do something, read a book, draw, run as both a wolf and human, listen to music and sometimes if I was in a really weird mood I'd do homework. I couldn't really watch TV as that would wake everyone up. But I was in someone else's house and I pondered this thought in my head, for what only seemed like a few minutes but when I looked at my phone found out it was 3am and that I was really thirst. That decided I picked up my sketchbook and went down stairs to get a glass of water and draw.
LPOV
How they expected me to sleep with her in the next room I don't know, she was just like in my dreams, too beautiful for word. And she was real and a werewolf and I didn't have a chance in hell. I am so screwed, I try and not look at or talk to her but that's just failing epically. I really hadn't noticed her at school, but then I don't notice anyone, and then I drew her and that was just embarrassing. Her smell god is she trying to kill me? She smells so fucking good. But that probably the wolf in her, I freaked out when I found out about that. She had to go, had to leave, dad would kill her and I really couldn't deal with that. Walking in on her in the shower as a total accident and I tried to take my eyes away but I couldn't she was just so freaking hot, I mean that in the nicest way possible. But I've been hard ever since and it's just getting uncomfortable. I'd been pacing around downstairs most of the night trying to find something to hold me attention.
"Irritating isn't it." Said a voice behind me, I spun around quickly. "When you can't sleep." Sky said, shit I don't know if I can be alone with her. She shifted eyes darting around the room crap I'm staring. BLINK! This is not going well, not at all.
"Sorry about earlier, in the shower I didn't realise. Sorry." I mumbled. A grin flashed across her face.
"I think Sam taught you your lesson." She replied.
"I feel sorry for you; he's not going to leave you alone now." I said with a smile. "He can get really annoying after a while."
"Try living with the twins is all I'm saying." She shot back. "Do you mind if a draw?" She asked raising the note pad from her lap.
"If you don't mind me." I replied as she settled down on the sofa next to me, curling up into a ball with her pad rested on her legs.
"Can I draw you?" I blurted out, I'm such a loser. Why would she want me to draw her she already thinks I'm a pervert. She cocked her head to the side giving me a curious look.
"Sure." That sun bright smile flashing across her face. "Do you want me do anything?" she asked.
"No, no, no. Just keep drawing." And I lost myself in the picture. The next thing I know sunlight's streaming in through the window, and I had my sister's face inches away from mine and Sky's head resting on my shoulder her hand curled into my shirt. I must have fallen asleep, that's the most rested I'd ever felt.
"Shit, Sky." Red said from the door, I glanced at sky and she was looking around blinking, her hair all tousled and a dazed look in her eyes.
"You actually got some sleep," He said in an existed voice "you actually got some sleep. At night" he almost shouted spinning her around laughing. All the others walked into the room, and started jumping around bashing each other on the backs and shouting in pleasure, they all held looks of relief on their faces, and I could hear Sky's giggle like tinkling bells. Kat and I looked on in what I can only describe as shock.
"Hey, hey, hey will you all calm down and please tell me what the fuck is going on?" Clay bellowed form the door.
"She actually slept." Zee said.
"I don't think they understand Zee." Sky said with a giggle. She gave a slight wiggle and Red put her down. "I suffer from insomnia so I don't normally get any sleep at night or if I do its early evening and I don't sleep from 2 am on." And another flash of that beautiful smile. "As you can see if I do they all get a bit existed."
"But if you think this is bad you should see the twin Christmas morning," Zee said. I glanced at Kat and we had a twin moment, as Dad calls them.
"All of you get ready or you'll miss the bus." Elena shouted from the kitchen.
"Come on Sky, we'll go make ourselves beautiful." Cat said taking her hand and dragging her upstairs I watched her disappear.
"Right buddy what the fuck were you doing with our sister?" Zee said to me. They had all turned and were looking at me; I glance at my father who just raised an eyebrow.
"Drawing" I mumbled staring at the wall shifting my weight so it was evenly spread on both my feet so if an attack came I could defend it.
"And we're supposed to believe that are we?" I picked up my sketch pad and threw it at Red he caught it and saw the start of my drawing, what I'd got a chance to draw before I fell asleep.
"I don't give a fuck what you believe." I said as I walked out and went to my room to dress for the day.
