I hopped off the bus, very much in need of a stretch; the town looked a lot like the generic town, like ones I had been to so often. Feeling hungry I went in to the diner across the road where I got a burger and directions to where I would be staying. It only took me five minutes to get lost. Thanks to my bad sense of direction, I had somehow ended up in the woods. How? Easy- you take a left when you should`ve taken a right and there you have it. I had given up trying to retrace my steps and was now sitting against a tree, watching a bird. Birds make me feel calm, mainly because they never seem to chirp around me but also because they were my mum's favourite animal. The silence was broken by two voices; both were male and getting closer. If they were hunters, I would already be running and they smelt like wolves. Instead of hiding I chose to see who they were and boy, did it surprise me.
The younger of the two was the boy from my dream. He was wearing the exact same clothes and the only difference was that his eyes were their normal brown. The other man must have been a least 4 years older with his black tousled hair and his green/blue eyes. He stood guarded (unlike his partner) and I could tell he was good friends with death. You know what they say: takes one to know one. Their reactions were almost as different as their age- the alpha looked a mix of shocked, scared and anxious whilst the other man simply looked at me with curiosity.
"Hey, I-I`m Scott. Y-your real, you were in my dream…but your real," Scott managed to get out, confusion overwhelming him.
I sat there starring up at them, figuring out my next move. I could do what I was getting rather good at: run, I could stand/sit my ground and let them make the next move or I could say something (I`d have to figure out what to say as well but I could say something)
"I, err, I don`t know what you're talking…so I`m just gonna walk away, slowly," so I picked option three, kind of.
Before I could get anywhere the older man was standing right in front of me, his eyes glowing a beautiful blue. In response I did the same and he smiled slightly marvelling at me- me eyes, unlike any other werewolf, were yellow with purple flecks. I pushed passed him and went back to option 1; this time he didn`t stop me, in fact he stopped Scott from going after me. Swiftly, I exited the woods and managed to find my new residence. Ben had lots of allies which he told me about in case anything ever happened to me. A few months after he took me in, he claimed me as his daughter (in normal terms he adopted me) meaning anyone who disrespected the alpha`s daughter disrespected him and his other allies. Even though he was dead people still respected him and his pack, well old pack. I knocked on the door to Thomas` house- even though he knew I was coming; I was still nervous about how he would react. He opened the door and looked at me with sorrow and comfort" Hey Amelia, come in. Here, let me take your bags and I`ll show you your room."
"Thank you for letting me stay with you, it`s really kind of you," I replied as I gave him bag.
"Oh don`t worry about it, Ben was like a brother to me so you`re like my niece. Your like family."
After we went up the stairs, he pointed to the second door along and let me go in first. It was nice: single bed the way I like it, desk and wardrobe made out of wood, a punching bag and finally a lamp in the corner. The walls were white but Thomas had left paint in the corner so I could paint them how I wanted. He had signed me up for school at Beacon Hills High School so I could start tomorrow and left my bags on the bed. He went downstairs so I could settle in on my own. I spent the remainder of the night painting my walls, unpacking my stuff and trying, and failing, to get some sleep. Tomorrow would be my first day of a normal life since I was ten and I guess I was worried. Also, I kept thinking about the man with Scott. Why? I felt strangely pulled towards him. As I felt a migraine start to come on I slipped into bed and fell asleep.
