"Got it?" I said.
She nodded and stood up, shaking herself before walking around the corner and sitting down, a few feet away from me, but in a straight line with me. Sara sat there, waiting for the guys to notice her, but it didn't work. She tapped her paws on the ground, waiting, but still nothing. She growled and threw her head back, howling.
Whatever works I guess, I thought and bunched my muscles, ready to spring.
"There she is!" I heard my father. "Skye!"
Nope, not me, I thought.
I heard my father's footsteps approach Sara. "I never knew you were able to transform into a wolf," he said.
Wrong again, I smiled. I transform into a tiger, not a wolf........... Sara's the wolf.
I saw my father stop right in front of Sara, she crouched low to the ground, pretending to look frightened.
"Don't be scared," my father smirked. "Because now I can kill you, and then find the Sara girl."
"You are so stupid," Sara growled. "Skye, get him!"
"With pleasure!" I growled and sprang.
My father only had time to turn his head to see a Bengal Tiger spring on him. "What!?" he exclaimed as I held him to the ground. Sara stood up and sat next to me.
"Hi," Sara smiled, even though he wouldn't understand, but she wagged her tail, flicking it from side to side.
"Two of you!?" he growled, but then smiled. "Oh, so Skye is the wolf and Sara is the tiger?"
I shook my head, baring my teeth at him and growling quietly.
"Stop growling like that!" Sara whined, backing away. "You know wolves don't like that!"
"Sorry," I said, but continued growling.
"You can't hurt me," my father smiled, pulling out the stone.
I flinched, waiting for the pain the stone brought. But the pain never came. "It doesn't work," I murmured.
"Really!?" Sara smiled, her tail wagging again, she stood up.
"Yeah. Maybe it's because no one knows we can transform. Meaning...... that it won't have any effect on us now!"
"Cool!" Sara smiled and walked over to me and my father. She leaned her head forward and sniffed the stone. Then she opened her mouth and bit down on it, and my father's hand.
"OW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he yelled. "GET OFF ME YOU STUPID TIGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Skye, can I eat his hand?" Sara mumbled through a mouthful of hand and stone.
"Sure," I purred. "You're not supposed to play with your food."
"YAY!" she bit down harder, but my father had let go of the stone and tore his hand free, she only had the stone in her mouth. "Good enough," she mumbled.
"Let's get out of here," Blake said.
I growled, thinking of whether or not to kill my father here and now.
"Skye, let's go," Sara said. "We have the stone, we can get rid of it and they can't use it against us!"
I blinked down at my father, my teeth still bared.
Suddenly, an alarm sounded and red lights were shining everywhere.
"Shit, we gotta go!" Jay said. "They triggered the alarm!"
"Skye, come on!" Storm yelled. "We gotta go before we get caught!"
I growled, still looking at my father.
Sara growled and barreled me off of my father. "Let's GO!" she snarled and I turned and ran with her and the others. The guys had trouble keeping up, we had to slow down.
"You won't escape!" my father called.
Sara would have howled if she could. So I decided to roar as loud as I could.
"SKYE!" Sara growled.
"Sorry, I had to!" I smiled and we finally found the huge front door.
"Who's driving?" Jay asked.
"You can't drive so not you," Blake said. "I'll do it."
Jay and Storm opened the big doors and we all ran out of the warehouse, over to the car. Jay opened the car door and Sara and I jumped in the back, taking window seats. Storm pushed Jay into the backseat and jumped in the passenger seat. Blake got in the driver's seat. "Where are the keys?" he asked.
I growled and leaned my head over Storm's seat, sniffing him.
"Alright I get it!" Storm said and went into his bag. He found my keys in my pants pocket and handed the keys to Blake. I sat back and looked at Jay, sitting in the middle of a tiger and a wolf, he looked just a little bit scared.
"Let's go," Blake said and started the car, putting it into gear and driving off. "Where'd you guys get the car anyway?"
Storm put his hand up and clenched his fist, his thumb pointed back at me. I purred and lifted my head, I banged against the roof and I growled, making Jay jump. He leaned against Sara and she sniffed his head. He leaned away from her and she lied down, her paws over his lap and she rested her head on her paws.
"Don't tell me Skye stole it?" Blake sighed.
"She said she did," Storm replied.
I purred again.
Blake sighed again and shook his head. "Should have guessed."
I growled and he smiled.
After a while Blake pulled over at a lake sort of thing, no one else was around. We got out of the car and Sara and I sat down in front of Jay and Storm.
"What?" they said.
We growled and sniffed their bags.
"Oh.... you want your clothes," Jay said and they both got out our clothes. I took mine in my teeth and turned, walking off.
"Where are you going?" Storm asked.
Blake stood beside him. "Let her go. You don't want to know."
"What?" he looked at Jay.
"She needs to get dressed," Blake said and Storm stopped asking.
Sara took her clothes and walked in another direction, towards the lake but where the guys wouldn't see her.
I walked into a thick layer of trees and transformed back into myself, I was happy as a tiger, compared to humans, tigers ruled. I got dressed quickly and went back to the guys, fixing up my jacket.
"Glad to be back to normal?" Blake asked.
"Sort of," I murmured. "How long does Sara need to take?"
"I heard that!" I heard Sara's voice and turned to see her walking around at the waters edge, back to human and dressed in her clothes again. "Can we go for a swim before we head home?"
"No," Jay said. "Skye needs to return the car and the people won't appreciate it being drenched."
"Why do I have to return it!?" I whined.
Jay sighed. "You can't keep it!"
"Why not?"
"Just let her keep it," Blake said and hugged me. "She won't return it anyway."
I hugged Blake back. "I missed you."
"I was only gone a few hours," Blake pointed out.
".......................... And?" I looked up at him.
"Never mind," he smiled and leaned down, kissing me.
Storm jumped back. "HEY! SAVE THAT FOR YOUR OWN TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Oh really?" Sara smirked and walked over to Jay. "Storm, don't start complaining."
"Why not?" he asked, afraid of the answer.
Sara looked up at Jay, he looked back down at her. He smirked and caught on, leaning down and kissing her.
Storm turned around. "GROSS!"
I broke away from Blake. "Deal with it."
"Do that in your own time!" Storm said.
"We tried to, but we got caught," Blake murmured.
Storm looked at him. "Huh?"
"Never mind," Blake smirked. "It would gross you out too much."
"Hasn't he ever kissed a girl?" I asked.
"Nope," Jay said, breaking away from Sara. "He's the only one in the group."
Sara smirked. "Yeah, all the guys besides him have been way too far that Storm doesn't want to think about it."
"Not my fault I'm sensible!" Storm said. "Where as the rest of you guys, besides Sara and Skye obviously, aren't!"
"We are too," Blake said.
"Yeah right. How many girls have you slept with?"
"............................... Three or four maybe............................" Blake answered.
"Don't start lying just because Skye's here!" Jay said. "There's been way more chicks than that..... I lost count at seven."
"I'm pretty sure it was ten," Sara added.
"Shut up would ya!" Blake growled and looked down at me, I was just blinking at him. "Jay, how many girls was it for you?"
"About fifteen," Jay answered. "Not sure."
"Liar!" Sara said. "It was twenty-one."
"Are you guys trying to make a place in the Guinness Book of World Records!?" I exclaimed.
"We were trying to," Blake muttered.
"Now he can't," Jay smirked.
"Yeah, only cause I'm not screwing up Skye's life," Blake said, I smiled. It wasn't the first time I heard that.
"Yeah, because I'd kill ya!" Sara growled.
"I know," Blake said. "So yeah, no more Guinness Book of World Records."
"Not for you either," Sara looked at Jay.
"Damn!" Jay growled. "I knew that was coming."
Sara poked her tongue out at him.
"Why not!?" he complained.
"I ain't getting in bed with nobody!" Sara growled.
"Fine," he smiled. "I'm cool with that," he kissed her forehead.
"And no sleeping with other chicks!" Sara growled.
"Agreed."
I looked up at Blake. "Well?"
"You know I wouldn't cheat on you," he said.
"I know. I was just testing," I said and hugged him again.
"Can we go home now?" Sara asked. "Before those people catch us?" she pointed to the road and I looked up to see four black cars on their way towards us.
"I'm driving!" Sara said.
"Bad idea!" Blake replied. "You can't drive!"
"Skye learned how to drive from Grand Theft Auto!" Sara whined.
"We don't have time to argue!" I growled. "Sara start driving!"
We got in the car, Jay in the passenger seat, Sara in the driver's seat and Storm, Blake and me in the back. Sara slammed her foot on the accelerator pedal, but we went nowhere.
"Gear stick," Blake murmured. "That might be handy."
"Shut up!" Sara growled.
"WAIT!" I said. "You need to put your foot on the clutch and then change gears!"
"WHAT THE FUCK IS A CLUTCH!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!" Sara yelled.
"The foot pedal furthest to the left," Blake said.
"Oh," Sara held it down and changed the gears. She slammed her foot on the accelerator pedal again and we drove off. Blake instructed her how to drive as she sped down the street and dodged a few cars as the people behind us got closer and closer.
"Speed it up a little," Blake said.
"SHUT UP!" Sara said. "I'm going as fast as I can!"
The car was climbing up to 230 mph, but slowly.
We reached the city and Sara drove down all sorts of roads, I had no idea where we were.
Sara suddenly slammed her foot on the brakes and the car pulled to a stop.
"What the fuck!?" Storm growled. "Do you want us to get caught!?"
"I want that car," Sara said and got out, running over to a parked car. It was a SSC Ultimate Aero. It was jet black with a dark blue stripe on the front hood. The rims were very low to the ground, but it was really cool.
"Jay, go get her!" Blake growled.
Sara was beside the abandoned car, trying to hot wire it. But there was so many people around she would get caught extremely fast.
"She wants the car," I said, climbing over to the driver's seat. I held my hand up to the car, using my electricity powers. The car roared to life, scaring the shit out of Sara. She got in quickly.
"Jay, Storm, go with her," Blake said. "Keep her out of trouble!"
Jay and Storm got out of the car and ran over, getting in Sara's new car. Blake climbed over to the passenger seat and Sara drove up behind us.
"Blake, where do I go?" I asked.
Blake pointed in one direction and I changed gears, driving off really fast, Sara was right behind us.
We drove around the city and I kept growling at Blake, telling him to tell me which way to go.
"Go down that street!" Blake said but I missed it.
"You should have told me that a second ago!" I growled.
"Turn down that street then!" he growled back at me and I smiled.
"Alright!" I slammed my other foot on the brake, turned the wheel and pulled the handbrake up. The wheels stopped moving and the car moved to the side, making skid marks on the ground. I put the handbrake back down and took my foot off the brake, changing gears and the car sped down the street. Sara turned normally and followed.
My phone suddenly rang and I picked it up. "Yeah?"
"WHERE THE FUCK ARE WE GOING!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!" Sara yelled.
"I'm trying to drive but Blake's being a back-seat-driver!" I grumbled.
"THEN LET HIM DRIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Fine," I said and hung up. "Blake, you're driving."
"What!? Pull over first!" Blake said.
I looked in the review mirror and saw the black cars. "Nope. Now."
"You're kidding!?" he said.
"No. Now hurry up!"
"Alright," I put my foot on the accelerator pedal and held it there, Blake took the wheel and moved over to the seat I was sitting on. He put his own foot on the accelerator pedal and I climbed across to the passenger seat, putting my seatbelt on, Blake did the same.
"Never do that again!" Blake said.
"We had to," I growled. "Now Mr. Smart ass, get us out of here!"
Blake sped down streets with Sara behind us. We got out of the city and were driving down the Princess Highway, going as fast as the car would go: 240 mph. Sara's car was moving at the same speed and we dodged in and out of cars, I knew her car went up to 257 mph+.
Blake seemed to know what he was doing. "Smart ass," I grumbled.
"What?" he asked, looking at me.
"Keep your eyes on the damn road!!!!!" I growled at him.
He glanced at the road and there was no more cars to dodge. He went a little faster, his eyes on me.
I was freaked out. "You're gonna get us killed!" I growled.
"You think we're gonna crash?"
"YES!"
Blake smiled and looked back at the road, quickly dodging a car before he rammed into it.
"You're a crazy driver!" I growled.
"If I'm crazy, Sara is psycho, she doesn't even know how to drive!"
"Do you want me to stop this car?" I threatened.
"You can't- Oh yeah........" he sighed. "Well unless you want to die, go ahead."
"Nah," I muttered. "Keep driving."
"Now who's being a back-seat-driver?" he smiled.
"You."
"No I'm not."
"Yes you are."
"Are not."
"Are so!"
"Are not!"
"Are so!"
"Are not!"
"ARE SO!" I growled and my hand ignited.
"Okay, okay!" Blake said. "No flames!"
The flames disappeared and we kept driving. Blake checked the review mirror. "They can't go as fast as us."
"So, we'll be back before they can catch us?"
"Yep. Tell Jay we'll go to his house," Blake smiled.
I pulled out my phone and texted him. After a while, my phone rang. I answered it. "Yeah?"
"Why my house?" Jay asked.
"Blake said so," I muttered. "Stop complaining and deal with it."
"What about Storm's house?"
"No. Your house!!!!!" I heard Sara growl at him.
"Why my house!?" he complained.
I hung up, knowing Sara would end the argument by herself.
"Well?" Blake asked.
"Yep. He said it was okay," I smiled.
"Okay."
I looked out the window and Blake continued to dodge cars and speed through traffic lights.
We eventually got back to Dandenong and Blake drove to Jay's house. He parked my car in the garage and Sara parked her car beside it. Jay quickly closed the garage doors and we waited to hear the sound of cars driving past.
We were relieved when we knew they didn't know where we went. We went inside Jay's house and Sara and I went running around.
"Where are you going?" Jay asked.
"Exploring!" Sara called. "What's this- JAY! DON'T YOU KNOW HOW TO CLEAN YOUR ROOM!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!"
"GET OUT OF MY ROOM!" Jay yelled.
I looked up and ran after Sara, going into Jay's room. It was a mess; clothes everywhere, including books and paper and school stuff. His bed was a mess, his desk was a mess..... his whole room was a pigsty!
Jay, Storm and Blake came to Jay's room and they found Sara curled up on the bed, blanket over her and her head on the pillow.
"You comfy there, Sara?" Jay asked, walking over to her.
"Yep," she smiled, her eyes closed.
Jay looked around to see me, I had made a little neat circle so I could sit down and I was picking up his stuff, throwing it everywhere.
"Skye? What are you doing- OW!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Jay asked but I accidentally threw a toy car over my shoulder and it hit him in the face.
I looked over my shoulder. "Whoops?"
"What are you doing?" Jay asked.
"Looking through your stuff?" I replied.
Jay sighed but fell back as Sara grabbed his shirt and pulled him down. She curled up on his chest. "You're more comfy than the bed," she murmured.
Blake smirked. "Sara I thought you said you wouldn't jump in bed with nobody...."
Sara lifted her head. "Don't get smart! Or I'll freeze you!"
Blake shrugged. "I was just saying."
She leaned her head back down on Jay's chest and fell asleep.
Blake looked at me. "Skye?"
"What?" I looked up at him.
"What the fuck are you doing!?"
"Looking through Jay's stuff," I replied and picked up a white shirt. I smelled it and made a face, it was stinky. I threw it over my shoulder, it landed on Jay's face.
"Thanks," Jay mumbled.
"Learn to clean up," I told him. Sara reached her hand up and grabbed the shirt, throwing it to the floor and curling up again.
"You are such a child," Blake sighed.
I glared at him and picked up Jay's maths text book.
"Skye......." Blake said in a warning tone. I lifted my arms up and threw the text book at him. He moved to the side and it hit Storm instead.
"OW!" Storm said and held the text book. He tapped Blake on the shoulder and Blake turned around. "This was meant for you," Storm said and hit Blake in the face with the text book.
"Ow......" Blake muttered and turned to look at me.
"What?" I asked.
Blake walked over to me, I looked up at him from where I sat. "Hi?" I mumbled. "You're really tall."
"I wonder why- OW! JAY!"
Blake glared at his friend, Jay pointed at Sara.
"It was me," Sara said, raising her hand. "Now..... SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I looked up at Blake again, he looked down at me and picked me up. "NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I whined. "PUT ME DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Blake carried me out of the room, Storm followed him.
"GUYS GET BACK HERE!" Jay called, but he was ignored. "YOU CAN'T-"
Sara put her hand on his mouth. "Quiet. Sleeping...."
Jay sighed, he was stuck with Sara.
"Put me down!" I whined and Blake put me down on the couch. "Thank you."
Blake sat next to me, Storm was still standing. "I'm gonna go back to school and tell the guys you're back."
"Alright," Blake said and Storm left. Blake looked at me and I looked back at him.
"What?" I asked.
"How is it that you can turn into a tiger?" Blake asked.
"It's one of the powers," I replied.
"Is that the power thing that you can get hurt with?"
I nodded. "If I get injured as a tiger, my injuries are still there when I become human."
"That's not good."
"But at least I know the stone won't work on me or Sara if we're a tiger and a wolf."
Blake smiled. "You just got to be careful."
I nodded.
"How did you even know where to find me?"
"My dad's workers left a note on your bed and I went back home. My dad wasn't there, my mother said he was at work so I asked her for directions, I stole a car, went to get some help and I came to Sunbury to find you."
Blake smiled again. "You didn't have to risk your life coming to get me."
"It was worth it," I murmured. "I didn't want to think of what my father could have done to you."
Blake hugged me and I leaned my head against his chest, listening to his slow heartbeat. "Thanks for coming to find me," he whispered.
I hugged him back. "You're welcome."
"What did my mum think when I didn't get up this morning?"
"I made something up and said you went to Jay's to walk to school with him. She offered me a lift but I refused."
"Fair enough," Blake let me go and I looked up at him with a smile. He leaned down and kissed me.
I returned it and we broke apart after a few seconds.
"The stone is gone now," Blake murmured. "So, doesn't that mean your father has no hopes in killing you?"
My head was spinning with thoughts. "I think so. Maybe."
"Good. Because I don't want you to die," he kissed me again.
