Disclaimer: I own nothing in this story except for the unfamiliar names you just read
A/N: Sorry for the long wait, I had writer's block and I just decided to keep this chapter the same with its original one. Feel free to help me out if something doesn't make sense or just review commenting on what you read.
Anyways thanks for the people who gave me splended reviews and favoriting this.
For the one who asked "What would Jerry want from Emma?" That question will be answered later in this story, if it's still not clear by the end of the story, I'll clarify for you in the author's note or somehow. :)
Chapter Eight
After hearing tons of screaming, Eve entered the guest room and glanced around for any invaders. She stopped only seeing Peter tossing and turning on his bed. She clutched her chest and sighed in relief. She'd thought a vampire gotten to him but he was only dreaming. The blonde sauntered over towards the distressed kid and put a hand on his warm forehead. The kid bolted awake with a scream and looked over at the woman trembling in fear. Eve sat quietly on the bed and faced him. "I…" The teen started towards the woman. "I had a nightmare," She nodded solemnly and kept her gaze on the fifteen year old. "Can't get my mind off of the attack," Peter added and looked into her blue eyes. "I know the werewolf didn't rescue me on purpose," he said to the woman and she opened her mouth slightly. "And he still took me in…" He added and looked away in thought. "I want to know why."
Eve rubbed her cold arm and pursed her lips in thought on how to answer. "Well," she started and thought back about their last encounter with the werewolf. "I've never seen that wolf help any innocents, it's like he marked you as his favorite human," She told the kid and hummed to herself. Peter looked up at her from that comment. She pinched the bridge of her nose and closed her eyes tiredly. "Ok Peter, don't tell anyone what I'm going to tell you," she started and looked back at the door, making sure the wolf wasn't listening in. "You and the wolf had the same terrible fate," She told him and he looked shocked. "Human form, I mean," she corrected and cleared her throat. "Jerry, the vampire that murdered your folks, killed her family as well."
"All of them?" He asked and she nodded. "When was that?"
"Five years ago, lad," she answered and he looked away from the woman sadly. "He's been chasing down Jerry for a very long time and finally found him inside your home," she added and sighed. "She's been lonely ever since, until she found you, sees herself inside you, Pete."
The teenager perked up and faced Eve in question. "She? Do you mean the wolf?" He asked and the woman froze for a second in thought. She smiled at him and pushed him down towards the pillow. He watched as she stood and walked towards the door. "Why won't she show her human form to me?"
Eve stopped at the door and gripped the doorframe while processing what the teen asked. She looked down at the wooden floor and put a hand through her curly hair. "She's…" The woman started and turned towards the boy staring at her. "She's shy, love," she added and smiled with a shrug. "Let's just say she never made any 'boy' friends."
The kid almost laughed at that but smiled instead. "She sees me as a friend?" He asked hopefully and the woman shrugged. "Wait, how do you know all this? What is she to you?"
Eve turned towards the door. "I'm a close friend to her family," she responded and smiled. "The only one left to look after her," she added and turned back to the teen. "Go back to sleep, I'm sure she'll be back again."
AN: I'm sorry for the short chapter, I just need to get this out of the way and the next chapter will be longer. Eve will be an important character in the sequel, which I'm still working on, that's why I put this up so you'll get to know a little more about her. The next chapter will be up today just to make up for the shortness of this one. Any questions about this? Plus I might add a little more to this later.
