Chapter 20: Luke, 3:17 am.
Again, I sneaked out of my dorm to go see Jatta. This time, I was sure they were there. So I crept invisibly down the hallway, as quietly as I could, and opened the door. In the silence, even the quietest whisper sounded like a scream. So when the door creaked, I quickly went against the wall, forgetting I was invisible. I opened the door just enough for me to creep inside, and I went in. I closed the door behind me, not caring if Seth woke up and scented me. I sat in the chair across the room from them, and watched her sleep. I watched the rise and fall of their chests, and listened to their heavy breathing. As I watched, emotions brewed inside of me. I wished that was me, sleeping beside Jatta, holding her close to me. I needed it to be me, instead of him. So I hesitated, but stood. I crept over to Jatta and Seth. But Seth turned his head, his eyes wide open. He had a smirk on his face, and he sat up. I backed up, and held out my knives. Seth still had an evil smirk on his face, and he held up a hand "Don't. You know it'll wake her, and I know you would hate to wake her as much as I do." He grinned, showing enlarged canines, resembling a wolf or dog's. Figures. I hissed at him. "What do you want, Luke?" He asked me "to try and use the only available option to take her from me? You know how risky it is. It could kill her, give her amnesia, or even make her go mad. You don't want that, do you?" There were red rings around his eyes, almost as if he was crying before I came in the room. "yea, I'm gonna change in one or two days. Jatta thinks she's going to." He sighed, and rubbed his forehead. I walked over to him, and handed him an obsidian shard. "keep it. It may come to your use..." I said, and I walked over to the door "That is, if you want protection. If not, you can give it to Jatta. She'll appreciate it, whether you tell her who gave it to you or not." I opened the door. "Luke," He said "Thanks." I nodded at him, and left, closing the door behind me.
