Chapter 2
Kellan
Sometimes I wish I could be someone else. My life was not an easy one and it seemed to be getting harder by the minute. If this move wasn't the right thing for the pack then Caleb would take advantage of that. Being me sucked.
Who am I, you might ask? I am the leader of this pack of werewolves. My father was before me and when he died his wish was for me to take over. Only problem is I never wanted to be the leader. It's to much responsibility. To much work. I didn't want to be a werewolf in the first place so why on earth would I want to be the leader of this pack?
It was so hard to. I had people like Caleb who were always waiting for me to fail so he could take over. Or people like Mia who is so blinded by my position in the pack that she throws herself at me. It is enough to make me want to kill them all. But the biggest part of being the pack leader was making sure they weren't killed or expose themselves.
Which is why we moving to Bayville.
All because of one werewolf, Jayden Mandon.
He fell in love with some pretty girl we went to school with and screwed everything up. He told her his secret and surprisingly the girl was ok with it. Only problem was that a vampire found out about it and went to attack the girl. Jayden stopped it but he transformed in front of a bunch of people, unable to control himself, causing everyone in the town to know we were werewolves.
I remember that day so well. I remember feeling something was going wrong and telling the rest of the pack to help me find Jayden. I was the one who found him. He was in human form, standing in front of the girl he liked, Renee. She was on the floor, blood covering her neck and hands. She looked dizzy as she tried to keep her head up. I could smell the amount of blood radiating off of her.
In front of Jayden was what looked like a normal human being. A gorgeous human. She had curly brown hair that came up to her shoulder and large strange blue eyes, that were almost impossible to describe. Before I turned 13 I never notice anything odd about vampire eyes beside the amazing blue they were. Now that I was a werewolf I could see the blood red outline around the pupil.
The vampire had a vicious smile on her face that seemed to contradict her innocent appearance. "Come on dog!" She said taunting, she seemed to dance as she walked closer to Jayden. "Aren't you going to protect your little girlfriend?"
Jayden let out a growl. The people around them all took an involuntary step back. Oh no. I ran over to Jayden, going to stop him but it was to late. The vampire girl walked around Jayden, grabbing Renee. Renee let out a scream of pain as the vampire girl lowered her mouth to her neck.
This was all Jayden needed for him to lose control. He dropped to his knees and his whole body took on a form, spreading into something most humans couldn't. The humans witnessing this let out a scream of terror. They realized that all the things they thought weren't true, are real. Some ran away, some stayed memorized by what they were seeing.
Jayden took on the shape of an unnaturally large, white wolf. He growled running towards the vampire, who had thrown Renee to the floor. I had to stop this. But how? I never felt so hopeless. I ran towards Renee, picking her up from the floor. The fall had broken some bones and she was bleeding worse.
"Kellan?" She asked confused. I picked her up and walked away from Jayden and the vampire who were at the moment fighting.
"Jayden!" I yelled on the top of my lungs. The vampire and Jayden broke away from there fight, suddenly. Both there eyes fell on Renee, who was barely conscious. The vampire licked her lips, her eyes turned from blue to bright red.
"Jayden, stop fighting! Renee needs you. Your scaring people and Renee." I said. I could hear heavy breathing coming from Renee, as she started to sweat in my warm arms.
"But fighting is fun." The vampire said, Jayden went to take a bit out of her but she moved away to fast. The fight was about to start all over when a soft beautiful voice rang through our ears.
"Alexia?" The voice said. It sounded far away and faint. Obviously who ever was calling her was not around here. Probably she was really far. If not for my werewolf ears I would of never heard the sound. The vampire must have been Alexia the voice was calling.
"Coming!" She yelled. She turned her now blue eyes on Jayden, a wicked smile forming on her red lips. "Well my work here is done, have fun cleaning this mess up." The young vampire ran away from us then, faster then any human could.
Jayden crumpled to the floor, turning back to a human. He stood up, ignoring the cries from the crowd. He ran over to Renee, touching her black hair gently. Her eyes had shut and she barely moved but I could hear her heartbeat, still going strong. Us werewolf strongest sense was hearing.
"Let's go home, now!" I said, feeling a bunch of eyes on me and Jayden. It was clear that our secret was expose. There was a good amount of people in the crowd, a few I actually knew. They would go around telling people what they witness. We couldn't stay here.
So I had to make the decision to leave my home town and come here. My grandma lived in a town nearby called Bayville. She told me she loved it here and that it was fairly safe. I told the pack the next day we were leaving and literally had to drag Jayden away from Renee. Everyone is angry at Jayden. They were also mad at me for some odd reason. They felt like I should of stopped him, I guess. Right like I could stop the romantic fool Jayden.
"Kellan?" Mia asked walking over to me, her hips shaking ever so gently. Mia was beautiful. Even prettier then Keira, the other werewolf in our group. Mia with her chocolate brown eyes and beautiful long brown hair. Her perfect face and her perfect body. She was gorgeous and she threw herself at me. You think I be happy but I wasn't. I could never let myself get to close to her.
"What do you want Mia?" I asked sitting down on a nearby rock, my fingers going through my hair. We had been walking for a good hour and even being werewolves we were tired. We couldn't take any public transportation since we were now quite famous. Our car was out two since there was a crowd of angry neighbors and reports outside our home. We had to sneak into our home to get the stuff we needed for our long trip.
Mia fiddled with one of her long brown hair, nibbling on the end. "Why can't we run there?"
I knew what she meant when she said run. She wanted to turn into a wolf but that was crazy and dangerous. "You know we can't." I said frustrated. Caleb didn't see eye to eye with me and was making some snorting sounds. He always wanted the opposite of what I wanted. If I wanted to eat, he wanted to drink. If I wanted to run, he wanted to hunt. He never made things easy. I could honestly say I dislike him. Even Mia could be annoying but other then that I loved the other two werewolves. Keira and Jayden were good kids. I would call them my friends.
"Why can't we?" Caleb asked, his voice sarcastic. "No one is around to see us."
I was at my boiling point, Caleb has been breathing down my neck since we left. I got up from my rock and got in Caleb's face. His brown eyes narrowed in anger. "Look Caleb." I said with authority I knew I had. Thanks to my old Dad. "I know you have a problem with me but you have to suck it up. Dad left me in charger not you. So what I say goes. No question."
Caleb let out a deep growl. I growled back, knowing hair was probably growing rapidly on my face. I felt my body become unbelievably hot and I felt something animal like crawl into me. I was going to change soon if I didn't control myself. Biting my cheek with sharp jagged teeth, I closed my eyes. Thinking about happier things and calming thought did the trick. My teeth and hair went back to normal. The animal in me curled into a ball, going to sleep.
"Whatever, Kapur." Caleb said my last name like it was poison. Maybe because the Kapur werewolves are the most powerful and legendary men to date. Caleb stepped away from me and walked down the trail. Mia flashed me a dazzling smile before following Caleb.
"I promise he isn't that bad, Kellan." Keira said, running to my side. Her golden eyes blazing with excitement and joy. Even in the worst times ever, Keira was always happy. You think she be miserable since she has no family or anyone to speak of but she wasn't. Keira was the only one Caleb actually got along with. They've meet at five and have been best friends ever since.
"His evil." I said, following Caleb with my eyes.
Jayden has been bitter and sarcastic since he left Renee, not the same easy going guy. He was mad at everyone, especially me, because we made him leave her. "That's what he said about you." He said, looking at his green surroundings.
I rolled my eyes, walking down the path. The closer we got to Bayville the more trees we saw. It would seem that Bayville was stuck in a large forest. I knew there was a beach somewhere since I could smell it but so far all I have seen is trees and green. Not that I mind. More room to run around as wolves unseen.
"All I am saying is that Caleb better watch it." I said to Jayden, knowing Caleb could hear me. Werewolves have great senses. Of course we are stronger in our wolf form.
I heard another one of Caleb's growl but other then that he said nothing. I felt like I won somehow which was stupid because knowing Caleb he would make me suffer for it. We walked on in silence, the only sound would be the birds around us and the crunch of branches under our feet.
I had to admit, I liked the quiet nature Bayville seemed to have. I was always a softy when it came down to that stuff. I was a werewolf. Part human, part wolf. It only seemed logical that I would find some happiness in nature. I was so enchanted by my surroundings that I nearly slammed into Mia, not noticing everyone stopped.
Mia of course had no problem with me hitting her. She turned around, smiling. "Watch it there Kellan, that's my butt." She said, winking. I felt sick. The only reason she was so over the top with her flirting was because I was the pack leader. It felt all wrong.
"Kellan get your head out the clouds, we're here." Jayden said, looking around him. We were still deep in the forest on the small little dirt path. Nothing looked like it changed.
"How do you know?" I asked, which was stupid. I should know where we were. I was the pack leader. Mia giggled at my stupidity, thinking it was cute or something. Caleb broke into a smile, which only made me want to bite his head off.
Keira pointed at a sign that was stuck into the ground, nearby a tree. It said Bayville in big letters. I felt a red blush cross my face. Stupid, stupid me. "Oh." I said, not meeting Caleb's eyes. "Great. Follow me, I'll take you to Grandma Kapur." I walked in front of the pack, getting deeper into the green mess I loved.
"Hopefully we won't get lost." Caleb said under his breath. No matter how he said it, I would of heard it. I felt my hands clench into a fist, sharp nails poking into my palm. I thought calming thoughts to stop the change and my nails went back to being short and human.
We walked a little longer, not lost. I knew my way now that I was paying attention. Soon we got out of the forest and into real civilization. The town was on the small side. They had all the necessary stuff that normal towns had like restaurant, super markets, little stores and you know all the important stuff. There was even a couple of building that looked like a big shopping center or business. I don't know. But one building was completely destroyed and another one had a big whole in it. I wondered how that happened.
Grandma Kapur lived further into the town. The houses were all over by the forest, all of them spread out since there was so much land. I was heading in that direction when Jayden started complaining.
"It's so small and country like." Jayden said, looking around in disgust. I guess I can't blame him since he was a city boy most of his life, that and he would hate anywhere we went if Renee wasn't there.
"So? Its nice." I said, grinding my teeth. "There is enough space to run around and be the crazy wolves we are. We got everything we need and more. So shut up."
Jayden crossed his arms, pouting. "Well I think its ugly and smells." Caleb said, of course. "Out of all the places to hide you pick here? Is there even a school around? One that doesn't teach us how to milk a cow and which leaves not to use to wipe our ass with while taking a shit in the woods?"
I grabbed Caleb's shirt, giving him a little shake. It was a way to show him where he belonged in the pack. "Shut up. If none of you have anything nice to say then keep your big mouths shut."
I pushed Caleb away from me, daring anyone else to say something against me. Even if I hated every minute of being a werewolf and the leader I still wasn't going to let anyone talk shit. I was in charger like it or not. The wolf in me knew better to give anyone more power then me.
"Well can we at less get something to eat?" Keira asked. I let out a sigh of frustration.
"Fine, lets go eat." We headed for the nearest diner. It was a nice size place, that had an European theme going on, with there Greece pictures and Italian pictures. It didn't look dirty or anything. A decent place to eat. Besides every diner had meat and that was all my pack wanted.
"Hi table for five." I said to the pretty woman at the desk. She looked up at me and broke into a smile, one Mia always gives me.
"Oh sure, no problem." She said, turning an interesting shade of red. She gave me another look, before grabbing a bunch of menus in her arm. Mia took the opportunity to slip her arm through mine, possessively. Even though I didn't belong to Mia and I showed her that at every chance I got, she still thought us to be something we weren't. In her mind if I couldn't be hers, then I couldn't be anyone's.
When the pretty girl turned around her face fell to see the gorgeous Mia on my arm. I tried to pull out but Mia kept me in place. "Follow me." The girl said, miserably. It's not like I wanted to be with the girl but I was still peeved off with Mia for acting the way she did.
I ripped my arm out of hers and followed the girl to a table in the corner under a picture of England's Big Ben. "Thank you so much umm…" I looked at her nametag. "Lizzy." I smiled at her, trying to make up for Mia's behavior. It seemed to work since she smiled again and her whole face lights up.
She walked away, happily. The rest of the pack slides into the seats, both Mia and Caleb in a sour mood. We ordered about 7 burgers and other sides of meat. We were big eaters and any amount of meat satisfied us. Even the girls frowned at salads and fruits. The waiter watched in horror as we devoured all the food he placed in front of us.
What can I say, we're animals.
After all the food was gone, we leaned back in our seats to relax. Sadly not all of us understood that it was relaxing time. "I want to go back." Jayden said, crossing his arms as he stared at every single one of us. His eyes however lingered on me.
"Jay you know that's impossible." I said softly, tired of these pointless conversations.
"Renee needs me!" Jayden said, nearly jumping over the table to strangle me. Keira put a little hand on Jayden's shoulder. It looked nice but I knew it was just her way of saying "Don't change or else."
"Renee will be fine I'm sure." Mia said, playing with her straw in her soda.
"But what about that vampire?" Jayden asked. He was slowly losing it. His face becoming hairier by the moment. Just the thought drove him mad. "That she-devil could still be there! After Renee! I'm going back."
"Well that's what you get for falling for the wrong species. You got to stick with your own kind." Mia said unhelpful as always. I wanted to seriously give her a good kick to the face but that would be just wrong.
"Mia quiet!" I shouted, knowing Caleb was enjoying every minute of this. "Jayden I assure you that the vampire isn't there. To save her, yourself and the pack its best for now to just stay away for now."
"Promise I'll see her someday." Jayden said, relaxing. It was a simple enough promise. One I possibly could keep. Hopefully.
"I promise now everyone just calm down." I said, pulling out some crumpled money from my pocket. I flung it on the table and stood up. Everyone followed me, like always. After we paid, we headed straight for Grandma Kapur home. The house was on the large side and had plenty of space. The neighbors were far like most houses and the woods were behind it. The house was white as could be with a yellow door . On the wrap around porch was my Grandmother.
She was a small woman, with white hair that went down her back. Her golden eyes saw everything that was happening and she was always sweet to everyone. Even people who didn't deserve any kindness. Like Caleb. Grandma use to turn into a wolf but with her age she barely does it and doesn't have the energy to do so.
"Kellan?" Grandma asked, putting down her cup. I smiled, happy to be with the woman who I could remember being amazing. I ran over to her, wrapping my arms around her. Her body was small and frail. It was hard to imagine her being a werewolf.
"Hi Grandma. Got anything cooking?" I asked. The old saying was true, Grandmas cook best.
She pinched my cheek, smiling bright. "You werewolves sure know how to eat. I'm sorry but I didn't cook anything yet. Why don't you stop thinking about your stomach and introduce me to your friends."
I did as she told me, hating having to say Caleb's name. Grandma noticed my anger towards Caleb and frowned. That woman saw everything. "Well now, nice to meet you all." Grandma said, smiling. "Why don't I show you your rooms."
Grandma gave us the tour of her large house before letting us go to our rooms to unpack. I put my small bag on my bed, looking out the window. The forest was so close and inviting. Why would I want to stay indoors when I could go out. I opened the window up, cold northern air hitting my face. I flung myself outside the window, landing gracefully on the ground. My legs throbbed a little since my room was on the second floor but other then that I was fine.
I ran into the woods, letting myself get lost. I jumped in the air and felt my body transform. It was like your body was nothing but clay and I could take the shape of anything I wanted. My body felt tingly and hot, my bones and skin changing. When I landed on the leaves covered floor, I was no longer human but a wolf. It felt amazing, I could honestly say. I felt so free and empowering. My mind stop thinking human thoughts and worries. I was going to enjoy these woods.
