Thank you for the reviews, favouriting etc etc. I know how much you have probably been waiting for this so with no further ado, on with the chapter!
Truth slowly walked down the stairs, hoping that a miracle would happen so that she wouldn't have to go down, she knew it was unrealistic, but it didn't stop her from wishing. Finally outside the living room door, Truth drew in a deep breath and placed her hand on the door handle. Should she have been any normal person she would have thought happy thoughts, but there were no happy thoughts within her. She let out her deep breath and opened the door.
Truth's POV
After I opened the door I tried to look like I wasn't afraid, the last thing I needed were a group of boys who thought they could just pick on me like I didn't have any feelings.
Emily smiled at me and so did Sam, they were both trying to be reassuring, not realising how much that was failing.
I looked around at all the guys, although a few were watching TV rather than looking at me.
"Um.. Hey" I cringed inwardly at how breathless my voice sounded, it made me sound like a fairytale princess. Stupid fairytales and happy endings.
I received a load of "Hey's" and "Hiya's" in return, they did sound rather friendly, maybe they weren't that bad. The two guys who hadn't looked at me, turned to say hi too. Then, however, the guy on the left froze with his mouth still open on the final syllable of "Hi" He was just staring at me, that was really weird, maybe my first judgement of these guys was off. The other guy just said "hi" and smiled, not realising what had happened to the guy next to him.
It might have been a medical condition or something so with a dry mouth I gestured and in a voice that was no higher than a whisper spoke, "Um.. is he alright?" The guy immediately glanced at his pal, and it seemed like realisation dawned in his eyes, he looked at me and then back. Okay, I didn't like this. Emily must have sensed my discomfort and also seemed a little shocked at whatever had happened to the weird guy who was still staring at me.
She shared a glance with Sam and another eye conversation took place, by this time I was getting a little stressy and resorted to my number one stress reliever. Scratching my arm. My nails were quite sharp but as I scratched I didn't feel anything. More scratching, I could feel the stress sink down and after a few minutes I was fine again. All that was left was a few red lines down my arm.
Emily was staring at my arm now, she looked up at me with worry in her eyes. I looked away.
I think the guys must have realised what was up with the other one now and they were finding it funny. Well I was glad someone was, not. Sam seemed thoughtful and then asked Emily if she had any more cakes. Emily seemed to realise something and asked if I wanted to help, I was confused but went with the flow and followed her into the kitchen.
Brady's POV
It would have been rude not to turn around after she said hey, so I did, I also managed to say half a word before I looked up and it all ended. Or started, depends at how you look at it.
She was now my heaven and my earth. I would be anything for her. I would protect her. I would never let anyone hurt her. I would tell her I was here for her.
But she was Sam's almost, kind of, adopted daughter, did that mean anything, did it change anything? If it did then I could only hope for the better. 'Cause if it changed for the worse, then that would just be bad.
I was aware of others talking and laughing but I didn't care, not anymore, not right now. She was all I cared about.
She left the room with Emily and Sam stood up.
"Brady" He gestured for me to follow him, so I did, outside, then we were running, we both phased, surrounded but the greenery of the forest.
Brady, I know what imprinting, does and how it feels like Sam thought
I never knew it felt like this, Sam
I know, but she's only been here for a day, she has had a troubled past, I don't think telling her about werewolves and the fact you imprinted which technically means that you guys are for each other, is going to help, she doesn't like being told what to do, it reminds her of her ... past. She prefers options.
I stopped running, Soo? What does this mean? What exactly are you trying to say?
I'm not telling you to stay away from her, that would be unfair, just try to act like the other guys would, rather than a wolf who has imprinted. Please? Just until she settles down more?
Fine
I knew that Sam couldn't help it and that he hated doing this, but it felt like he was taking her away from me, all the happiness I had felt a minute ago had vanished, like it wasn't ever to be seen again.
Sam phased back. I didn't.
I didn't want to, I also had nowhere to go even if I did. I couldn't go back to his house, I didn't want to go back to mine and the beach would just be lonely.
I hope she settles down soon, then we can tell her, and then I won't have to pretend, but until then it looked like I was going to have to suffer.
Awwww, poor Brady! Hope you enjoyed and plz plz plz remember : 1 Review = 1 Chapter!
