The Next Day….
I woke up the next morning and got ready for school. After having my breakfast I walked out the front door to run into Beck.
"Don't try anything funny while you're away princess."
"Don't call me that, you know I hate you."
"Hate is a strong word. But one day you will love me. In fact I already have a plan to make you."
"Sure. And what phase of this plan are you on right now?"
"The last one. No funny business while at school 'cause I'm in charge since your parents are dead."
"Thanks for reminding me."
Jackass.
Six years ago my parents died from poison. Ever since then I never had any friends. Well that's a lie. My pet Max is my only friend. He is a wolf. I know what your thinking. Where did you get him? Well Beck thought he could train Max to keep me from running away to save him the trouble of chasing me down. But it didn't work out the way he wanted it to. Max is a real pretty wolf. He had jet-black fur with silver streaks in it. He also had amber eyes. He is big and strong too. Everyone is scared of him except for me. Max gets real jealous sometimes. When I am reading a book and not paying attention to him he will start to cry and poke his nose to my face.
One time, I was walking home, this guy wanted to talk to me. He kept trying to get me into his car. I got real scared and Max just started to growl at him. He attacked the guy and killed him. When Beck heard about it he let me keep Max. Max only listens to me. He is the only one that I can be myself around. That is pretty sad. I don't talk to people when I am at school. I just keep to myself and read my books or write my own stories.
I just sighed and started to walk. In what felt like forever, I was in the small, old school. I looked at my first class. I was in Algebra. I hate math. As soon as walked in the bell rang. Well at least I made it without being late. I made my way to my seat in the back while the teacher did role call. The teacher then stared the lesson, all we did was take notes. My next few classes were pretty much the same. During lunch I walked around and tried to think of new ways to run away like I usually did.
When I was at the front of the school a van caught my eye. I instantly thought up a plan and mentally kicked myself for not thinking about it sooner. I would hot-wire it, go back to the house to get Max and some supplies, and then drive away. I ran to the van and went through the steps I saw on the internet on how to hot wire cars. When the engine came to life I got in and sped to the house. When I got there I ran inside and up the stairs. I ran into my walk in closet and grabbed everything I could find and stuffed it into my backpack.
Then I ran into the kitchen and got all the food I could stuff into my backpack. I put my jet-black hair with natural fiery red streaks up into a high ponytail to keep it out of my face. Before I ran back out of the house and into the backyard and got Max I grabbed my moneybox that contained my collage money in cash. After Max and everything I could need into the van, I drove away. It took me a while but I made it to the highway and was headed out of Alaska.
Twenty Hours Later….
I pulled to the side of the highway right when the needle went past empty.
"Looks like we're walkin' from here Max."
After getting my backpack on and strapping my knife to my side under my shirt, Max and I headed into the woods. My plan was to get as far away from Alaska as possible. Every five or so miles we would take a short break from walking and then keep going. Soon it was night and I began tripping over tree roots, Max didn't have any problem seeing in the dark. We continued walking until sun up before eating. When I'm determined to do something I go all out.
One Week Later….
We just ran out of food and have only one water bottle left. I thought we would have made it to a town by now but these woods seemed endless. My body is now slowly loosing its energy. We walked for five days strait and I'm still determined to walk another day until my body gives out. If I can get to a town I can rent a hotel room and sleep but it seemed we were never going to reach a town.
When I went to take another tired step I felt something pull my pants back. I looked over my shoulder and saw Max gripping my pants in his mouth. He yanked me to the ground and I understood he wanted me to take a rest. I didn't fight it so I leaned up against a tree and instantly fell asleep.
Paul's POVI was on petrol when he caught a strange scent. I followed it and saw a girl with black hair with red streaks and a wolf asleep next to her.
Why is it that every girl has to get lost in the woods?
I phased and put my shorts on before going to her. When I was a few feet away the wolf woke up and started growling at me. Then the girl woke up and looked at the wolf.
"Max?"
She looked so weak and underfed. I looked into her eyes before she passed out. But at that moment she became my world, the one I needed to protect at all costs.
Did I just imprint? I hope I don't become a total sap like Jacob!
I gently picked her up in my arms and almost gasped when I did. She was freezing to touch, making me wonder just how long she had been out here in the cold winds and rain. I bent slightly over her, sheltering her from the weather as best as I could. I could see under all the mud covering her face that her skin had gone a deathly pale. If it weren't for the very faint sound of her heart and the tiny rising and falling of her chest I would have passed her for dead.
That was exactly what she was five minutes later: Dead. I quickly placed her on the ground giving her resuscitation until her heartbeat picked up again. I breathed another sigh of relief, before picking her back up and running as fast as I could, knowing she wouldn't last much longer if I didn't get her help. I knew that it would be quicker to get to my house than run to Forks so I set off in that direction. Hoping it wouldn't be too late. Thirty minutes and 12 resuscitations later we had made it to my house. I kicked the door open and slammed it shut behind me but not before the wolf got in and ran over to the couch.
I called Jake and told him to bring Billy while I put her on the couch.
Ten Minutes Later…
"Emily is she gonna wake up?" I asked for the dozenth time.
"Paul if you ask me one more time I swear to god..." she didn't need to finish the sentence. I knew that I was gonna be in serious trouble if I asked again
"Okay I'm sorry." all I could concentrate on was my imprint's face.
I was about to get up and pace when she groaned I was immediately next to her. After a minute she tried to sit up and I gently pushed her down again, I didn't need her hurting herself. She groaned again and slowly opened her eyes.
Blaze's POV
Uggggghhhhhh my head feels like it is on fire. Ouch. My fuckin' leg hurts. Where the hell am I? Oh shit, I'm dead. Oh crap. Oh my gosh, if I am dead then where the hell is God or Jesus? Crap that probably means that I'm in hell. Figured this would happen. Gosh just cuz I'm related to a werewolf doesn't means that I should go to hell. Oh well at least I don't have to see Beck until he dies. I open my eyes and get rewarded with a blazing light in my eyes. Ouch, I blink and open them again. Where am I? At least it isn't Hell. I try sitting up but get rewarded with a pain in my head.
I open my eyes again and see a bunch of people and this one guy staring at me. There were three girls about my age and five guys.
"Who the hell are you people?"
"I'm Paul. I found you and the wolf in the woods. How are you feeling?" said the guy staring at me.
"I feel like I'm floating on a cloud, how do you think I feel?" I snapped, looking him in the eye I was in no mood for this now.
Everything seemed pointless and not important when I met his eyes, all that matter was the man staring intently at me. I knew that this man was the one for me. I shook my head clear of those thoughts, I didn't even know this guy.
"Where am I?" I asked closing my eyes.
"In La Push." Said a deep voice.
"Where?"
"La Push, Washington."
"Oh…Where's Max?" I asked remembering him opening my eyes.
"The wolf? He's out side." Paul said and I closed my eyes again.
It was quiet until someone asked, "Why were you in the woods?"
I opened my eyes and looked at the person who asked and said, "That's none of your business."
His face darkened and then he started to shake… just like The Pack did… when they were about to phase. Realization hit me and I jumped up off the couch.
"Not more werewolves!" I said to myself before bolting.
I ran like hell into the nearest room while getting my knife out. I quickly locked the door and jumped out the window, calling Max and bolting into the woods. Max was next to me in second and we ran. Behind me I could hear the werewolves coming out of the house. If they were anything like Beck and The Pack, I needed to get out of here and fast. I looked over my shoulder and saw a silver wolf running after me. I suddenly had the urge to stop and go back with him but I shook the strange feelings away. Up ahead I saw a black huge black wolf and got pissed.
I became very mad and started to shake. I charged. Beck looked stunned when I knocked him over, heck I was stunned. I kept on running until a chocolate brown wolf tackled me. I began to punch and kick and stabbing when they all tackled me until I was pinned. The black wolf went behind a tree and came back in some cut-offs. But it wasn't Beck, it was the tall guy who stepped towards me back in the house. So Beck hasn't found me yet.
A few feet away Max was growling at the wolf who first tackled me. Then the silver wolf began to growl. They all backed away from me as Max got in front of me while I got up and picked up my knife. They all went behind trees and came back in cut-offs. The one who was Paul came up to me but stopped when Max started growling at him.
"It's ok, I'm not going to hurt you. I just want to talk."
For some strange reason I believed him.
"Max it's alright."
Max looked at me and I nodded. He came and sat next to me but kept an eye on Paul as he came up to me. He held out his hand and when I put my knife in it and our skin touched, a jolt went through me.
