Chapter Ten: Attacked

"Scott," Rose began, sitting on her bed with her legs crossed, her hair in a ponytail, and a pillow hugged tightly against, she continued. "If we are going to be parents, and we love each other, we need to tell each other the secrets that we haven't said yet."

Looking up to see Scott was taking off his shirt, she assumed he was ignoring her for something, so she decided to start talking about. "Here, I'll go first: My first kiss didn't happen until you. It's not that I didn't want to date or want my first kiss to be with someone I really love, which I do and now it's happened, I just never had guys piling up on my doorstep. Your turn."

"I used to go out with Allison." Scott said with his back still turned like he didn't care.

"Okay," Rose said, thinking they had something, but just not sure on it. "I wasn't the beautiful girl back in Kansas."

"You look beautiful now and I bet you were back in Kansas," Scott said as tossed his shirt on the floor, looking at himself in the mirror. "I wasn't this handsome guy in Beacon Hills, I wasn't popular, and I wasn't good at lacrosse."

"What changed?" Rose said, tilting her head as he looked a little nervous.

"I got over my shyness and started to work out." Scott lied, not wanting to say the real reason why he changed as he knew she would either laugh or be afraid.

"Sweetie," Rose began as she tossed the pillow next to the other pillows, got up, and walked over to Scott to put her arms around his waist, looking beside his arm in the mirror. "Everything takes time."

"Suppose it does." Scott said as he turned around, picking up Rose by her waist and putting her in his arms as she laughed.

"But it was worth the wait," He told Rose as he kissed her on the lips, her trying not to laugh.

"Hey," Rose said as she pulled away from him, looking into his eyes. "Sofia for a girl, Julian for a boy."

"You come up with the perfectest names." Scott said as he walked over to the bed, kissing her again.

"I know." Rose bragged before he tossed her on the bed, jumping on with her.

Under the covers, Rose laughed as Scott kissed her neck, staring from her mouth and going down. Hearing something, Rose kicked her leg out from under the covers, showing her foot and a little of her leg, going up half way to her knee.

"Scott," Rose sighed, pushing Scott off her as she heard the door creak open, footsteps go across the floor, and then something grabbing her leg, pulling her from under the covers as she clawed on the sheets, screaming, "Scott!"

As Scott reached out to grab her arm, he watched her disappear from under the covers and he instantly threw the covers off him, seeing Rose desperately clawing the floor, trying to get away from what had her. Too scared to speak, she tried to grab on to the door, missing, and she reached out for the end of the wall, somehow being halfway out in the hall. Finding her voice, she screamed, "Scott," just as he grabbed her hand, pulling her bag as he saw what had her and his eyes changed from brown to yellow. Seeing Rose's head looking at the floor as she attempted to get away, the werewolf, from what Scott thought it was, let go of Rose and ran down the hall, getting away. As Rose fell into Scott's arms, she curled up into his arms, crying and shivering as she hugged him, afraid.

"Scott," Rose began to say as she stayed in Scott's arms who was sitting on the end of the couch as Rose was stretched out from where Scott was to the other end. "What the hell was that?"

"I don't know. I didn't see what it was." Scott lied, telling one lie after another, but to only protect Rose who was afraid at the moment.

"Ever since I moved here, I've been killed twice, been in the hospital twice, thrown off a building, what seemed to be poisoned, attacked by something twice, had nightmares of wolves, and many other horrific things. What the hell is happening in this town?" Rose asked as she looked up at Scott who frowned and said, "I wish I knew, Rose."

"I'm scared, Scott. I'm really scared." Rose said as she looked at the door which had claw marks across it, but Scott just told her that it must have been her as she was scratching every little thing to get free, even him.

"I'm going to my room," Rose said as she got up from Scott and began to walk, only to hear footsteps behind her and she turned around to look at Scott. "Alone," Before continuing to the door without looking back.
