Ok So I'm REALLLYYY sorry about how long it takes me to post. But it's not like I can do this shiz at home ... Please Review. I love seeing those. They are like those little golden stars you got when you were little and you did a good job in school. Yeah. I loved those things. O.o Also, if you want me to attempt any other stories let me know, yyeah ^.^ Any way enjoy and review.
Redd slammed the door to the house and leaned against it to keep it closed. A loud banging rang through the house along with the shaking and rattling of the door as the wolf that had chased her all the way home, tried to knock it down. The wolf snarled and growled for what seemed like years until everything stopped. The house went completely silent and the door stopped shaking.
Granny came bustling into the room, her face white except for a slight pinkness under her eyes.
"What was that?" she breathed.
Before Redd answered she cracked open the door and looked outside. She let the door swing completely open and revealed nothing but the forest to her grandmother.
Redd closed the door with a quiet click and she turned around to face Granny. "We need to talk."
Redd's tone was firm and partially unsure as she began to speak.
"Remember that story that you told me all the time about those wolves you saw when you were younger? How you said that they were the best thing to have happened to you? You said that they weren't normal wolves, that they were unique to their distinct species. I think… No, I know why. I've seen them. I've talked to them. I've been attacked by them." Redd's tone carried an edge by the last sentence.
Granny's face gained its colour back and tears fell from her eyes.
"That's where you went on Saturday after you were attacked… Oh, Redd Are you alright?" Granny's voice seemed overly sweet to Redd, it might have been due to her now sensitive hearing.
"Granny, I'm fine. I'm better than fine, in fact." Redd paused. She now reconsidered telling her grandma what had truly happened to her. Something in her gut told her it was not a good idea.
"What do you mean, dear? What happened?" There was that sickly sweet tone again… Had she always done that? Either way, it sparked Redd's anger again.
"I found out the truth. Those wolves were why I wasn't allowed off of the past for the past few weeks. They are the reason why you're scared of the woods in the spring." Her voice was thick with venom. "Why couldn't you tell me? Me? Of all of the people you know, of all of the people you trust and know would have accepted this fact, you neglected to tell me." She felt her body heat rise and she knew her eyes would be a wolven gold by now if they already weren't and based on the gasp Granny let out, Redd guessed they had just changed.
"Redd… Your eyes… They're…"
"Gold. Yes. I know."
"But how…?"
Redd was about to answer when a knock was heard at the door. Redd looked at the door then back to Granny. She seemed so small now. "Are you going to get that?"
When Granny didn't move Redd walked over to the door and pulled it open. "Sam?" Redd's brow furrowed slightly.
When Sam grinned evilly Redd stepped back, but not quick enough. The man at the door had a clawed hand around her throat and was lifting her off of the ground. "Wrong twin, Little Redd."
Redd tried to growl but it was cut short by the male squeezing her throat. She grabbed at the hand, trying to loosen the grip. The only thing to pull her out of her anger was her grandmother's voice.
"Loki? What are you doing?"
For a moment everything stopped. Loki's focus went to Granny and for a moment Redd thought he was going to go after her.
Loki dropped Redd to the ground and walked over to Granny, looking her over for a moment. "Hello." He wrapped his arms around her in a hug, which Gran returned.
Redd pulled herself off of the ground, coughing for air as she watch the man who just tried to kill her, hug her grandmother.
"Granny…?" she choked out.
Granny looked back to her granddaughter and walked over to help her up. Granny frowned slightly. "Redd, we need to have a talk."
Redd's stomach flipped. Whatever was about to happen, whatever she was about to be told, it wasn't going to be good. She couldn't understand it. Redd pulled herself off the floor and glared towards Loki. She was amazed to see how the man that was just hell bent on killing her had changed to nothing more than a child at her grandmother's feet. Her stomach flipped again as her mind started to piece together what was going on. She heard a pained howl in the back of her mind and she was sure it was the wolf in her solving things first.
Granny began to speak. "That man that was here, James, he is your grandfather. He was my partner many years ago. He gave me your mother. This boy here, Loki, was adopted by James. Him and Sam both, however, Loki lived up to James' expectations. Sam was always an issue."
Redd's expression contorted. "Granny you knew Sam? This whole time? You knew about the wolves? You knew everything?" Redd could feel her body tingle and the growl she heard from Loki only made the adrenaline course through her faster. She was going to change again, for the second time that day, and if the snarl ripping through her sharpening teeth was any indication, it was going to be soon.
"Why didn't you tell me? Why did you hide what I am? Why did you lie?"
Granny saw the gold flash through her granddaughter's eyes and took a step back. Loki stepped forward, that evil menacing grin on his face once more. "Calm yourself, Katie. You don't want to hurt your Granny now, do you?"
Hurting Granny was the last thing Redd wanted, despite all the lies she had kept. Redd's snarl faded slightly as she took a step back. She looked at Loki and was only just able to register confusion at his expression before she heard wind behind her and felt something hard collide with the back of her head.
The world spun as she hit the floor. Her vision was blurry and fading as she tried to pull herself off of the floor. She heard Granny's muffled exclamations hoping Redd was alright and James' muffled voice.
"She was out of control, Marie, She will be alright. We just need to teach her."
Redd's world faded into darkness just as the back door burst open.
A fading voice screamed her name just before the darkness consumed everything.
