Hello guys :) Thanks so much for all the nice reviews! Here's the fourth chapter, the third one I've written today, I'm on a roll! Enjoy :D
(BTW, Daniel is Maddy's dad and Emma is her mum)
After running, chasing and rolling around all day (and a whole lot of kissing), Maddy and Rhydian soon emerged out of the moor near Stoneybridge. Maddy looked quite nervous and Rhydian soon noticed, "Mads, what's the matter?" he asked, concerned.
"It's just… I don't know what my parents will say, what if they don't let me see you again?" she said quietly, "Don't worry Maddy, I'm eighteen now, an adult and you'll be the same age soon- they can't push us around for much longer." Rhydian said, smiling.
"Good." Maddy said, smiling also and she gave him a quick kiss and ran down the path towards Bernie's Café with Rhydian close behind.
Maddy stopped suddenly and whispered to Rhydian "The three K's and Jimmy and his gang are in there, I wasn't at school yesterday or today and I think Shannon and Tom told them I was ill so we can't just walk in."
"Oh yeah, should we go through the forest to your house then?" he asked, Maddy nodded and they set off, hand in hand.
After running for only a few minutes, Maddy stopped suddenly and put her finger to her lips, signalling for silence. She had thought she heard voices, just beyond the next few trees.
"Rhydian can you hear voices?" she whispered to him, Rhydian listened, his wolf senses picking up a familiar voice in the distance.
"Maddy, I think it's your mum and dad…" Rhydian said quietly, "They must be out looking for you."
Maddy bit her lip and gave Rhydian a worried look "I think you're right. Stay here." And without warning, she let go of his hand and sprinted towards the voices.
Rhydian watched her run off, unsure of whether to follow, she had told him to stay though, so stay he must.
Maddy ran towards her parents, hoping they wouldn't be too mad. "Mum, Dad!" she yelled, "Madeline!" her dad yelled back and Maddy followed his voice.
"Where the hell have you been? You have us no warning, not even a note! And running off on a full moon as well! What on earth were you thinking young lady?!" Her mother shouted and Maddy could tell she was definitely angry with her…
"I'm sorry Mam, and Dad, I didn't even know I was going to go but then I just did. I'm really sorry." She said, hoping they would forgive her without a punishment or questioning where she went, even though she knew they wouldn't.
Her mother gave her a cold look but her father just sighed "Where did you go?" he asked.
Right then, thought Maddy, should I lie or tell the truth? But she didn't have to think for long because she soon heard someone run towards her from behind. Rhydian.
Her parents looked shocked. Then they looked confused and then the confusement turned to anger.
"You've got a nerve, showing up here after two whole years! Don't you know what you've done to my daughter?!" Daniel shouted, his eyes glowing dangerously yellow.
"I'm sorry, truly sorry and Maddy knows I am, can you please just listen to why I left?" Rhydian asked pleadingly.
"No. Rhydian you had your chance and after all we'd done for you, you left and you hurt Maddy so much in doing so. I don't think we could ever forgive you for that. Leave, now." Emma said with a look of complete disgust on her face, "Leave before we make you."
"Mam! Dad! No, please don't make him go! I waited two years and now I've found him again and you are going to just send him away? Please, you can't." Maddy pleaded, tears flowing down her face. This could not be happening. He can't leave again.
"No, Maddy, we can do this. What would happen when he leaves again? I can't bear to see you like that again; it's for your own good. After all, he's wild now." Daniel said, he too was looking at Rhydian in utter disgust.
"Please," Rhydian said in a small voice, "please Mr Sm…" but he was cut off by a firm "NO." from Daniel, "Maddy, Emma, we are leaving now. Rhydian, I wish to never see you again." He said, teeth bared.
This could not be happening. No. How could they? They had no right and they can't stop her from seeing Rhydian again, Maddy thought. Rhydian looked at her, with so much sorrow that it made her heart scream.
Then, Rhydian turned and left without a single word.
Maddy was speechless. She couldn't move for she was so numb with anger. She didn't even protest when her mum carried her over to the car that was parked a few metres away and said; "Maddy, you will never see that boy again, you hear me? And you are grounded for a month for running away."
Maddy couldn't reply. She was heartbroken, she had waited two long, painful years and now, she must wait again.
Maddy
Several hours later and Maddy was lying in bed, too sad for tears and too sad for words. Her parents had tried to get her to speak, eat and even look at them but Maddy avoided all of those things, how could her parents have done that to her?
Also, how could Rhydian have done that to her? He had promised, promised that they would be together, forever. This hurt more than anything, he had broken a promise.
Maddy turned over onto her side and looked out of her bedroom window, the half-moon shone down over the moors and Maddy could see quite far into the distance.
I'm seventeen, nearly eighteen, she thought, they can't lock me up like this! Maddy considered for a minute about running away again, but who to?
She couldn't run to Rhydian because he obviously didn't really love her anymore.
Shannon? No, Shannon's parents would just ring up Maddy's parents.
Tom? No, his mum would grass her up too.
Maddy sighed and turned onto her back, she tried to sleep but thoughts of the past couple of days just came flooding back.
He had said he loved her. They had kissed. She had laughed, properly, for the first time since he left.
He can't just leave again.
