I'M BACK! HI :3


"I'd like to know what you think you're doing." Sam's voice rang out and I peeked around the door. He had striped Pajamas and he seemed just as startled as I was. Sam however was very much determined, if anything he was angry. I hadn't actually gotten around to going through that closet just yet so I was kinda wondering what he found in there. Or maybe just more of what he was looking for.

"U-uh. Eh Hem." He stood up and backed out of the closet for the time being. He had the look of a guilty man and was avoiding eye contact with Sam entirely.

"I suppose this isn't the bathroom at all then. Sorry, I left my glasses on the night stand." Richard replied meekly as Sam towered over him.

"Would you like a private escort to the bathroom or what then?" Sam bit out and I thumped him over the back of the head as I came out of the bedroom.

"I'm sorry, ignore him. Hes grumpy when he first wakes up." I replied happily and held his arm to lead him to the bathroom.

"Theres the bathroom! We'll be going now!" I patted his arm and then pulled Sam back into the bedroom. It was a difficult job as he was one giant ass motherfucker.

We were laying in bed again, Sam was sitting on the edge however. He was waiting for the closing of Richard's door and the quieting of foot steps. It came eventually and he stayed up for a little longer before he laid down.

"Why are you so hard on him?" I asked quietly. He didn't say anything for a bit before sighing.

"I don't trust him, Kai. Hes just...there's something off about him. I can feel it." He sounded like he was choosing his words carefully. I couldn't blame him for that. I sighed and hugged his arm. Falling asleep.


There was another face off for breakfast. This time between all four of them and myself. Richard seemed to not notice anything that was going on. I turned around and set down another plate of muffins, turning back around for a napkin.

"Uh." I heard Richard say something and turned back around to see the muffins...gone. Literally all of them were just straight up gone. I glared at Sam and his crew. They all were looking away, except Sam. He and I had a glare contest before he put one back stiffly.

"We're going." He stood up from the table and turned to leave. I rolled my eyes before I patted Richard on the back and went to the door.

"Sam, what the hell? Even though you don't like him, hes still our guest." I bit out trying to be quiet only for Richard. I already knew Sam's pack mates would hear us clear as day.

"Hes yours. Not mine. I never wanted the bastard here. Hes nosy, stupidly oblivious and all together a bad character, Kai." Sam snapped back and I glared at his tone.

"You're just paranoid because its another male! You think I'll leave you for him, don't you?" I started to grin cruelly. He was being an asshole. He was literally bullying Richard right behind my back.

"Thats ridiculous. The guys hang around here all the time and you don't see me getting pissed off about them, do you?" His voice was raising which just led me to believe I was right.

"They're under your command. They'd never step one foot out of line with your domineering ass all over them!" I lowered my voice for the command but felt it rise by the end of it. He scoffed.

"Well hell, don't want you under my domineering command anymore then! I won't be back til hes gone! ENJOY YOUR TIME WITH YOUR NEW BOYFRIEND, KAI." He'd gone into full rage mode, only proving me right.

However he was also shaking violently by the end of it and slammed the door as he ran out of it. A few seconds later, everyone else left after him, closing the door softer than him. None of them made eye contact with me and for once I was glad for it. I went back to the kitchen and ignored the angry howls coming from the forest around me.

"That sounds a little like a wolf." Richard stated sounding mildly disinterested. I focused on washing dishes and shrugged. It was odd that he sounded so disinterested in them considering most would be terrified.

"Where else would the tribe legends come from?" I asked sarcastically. He was quiet for a second.

"Sounded like it was in pain too." He replied slowly. I paused my washing for a second at his insight before shaking it off and shrugging again.

"Probably ran into a branch or something." I said lowly. The thought did make me pop a grin at some point. The conversation ended there for a bit until I sat back down at the table, reading a book I'd brought in from the living room.

"So how long have you lived in this house, Kai?" He asked and I looked up at him with his coke bottle glass and...lack of meek expression? Interesting. I glanced at him for a second before looking back down at the book.

"Well I used to live here with my mother until my dad walked out on us. Then we moved up to a Navajo reservation, now I'm back here for a bit." I replied keeping a light tone in my voice.

"Huh. Interesting." Was all he replied. None of his usual curiosity was about today, apparently. I fought the want to look up at him and instead focused on staring at the book.

"You're kinda staring hard at that book." He stated and I nodded.

"Suuuper interesting." I replied quietly. I flipped the page when it was taken out of my hands by him. That stopped me for a second, I stared at him. He was grinning, he liked the surprise and confusion on my face.

"Can I have that back?" I asked, trying to keep a calm face and voice. This boy did not want to test me right now.

"I'm looking at it." He responded and winked. Where was the sudden confidence coming from? What the fuck? I felt my eyes narrowing but tried to hold them back. I just stared at him till he slid it back across the table.

"So by any chance, you got a picture of your old man?" He asked me, sounding curious. I raised a brow and shook my head.

"Only one my mother let me keep was the one in my head." I replied stiffly. I got very uncomfortable very fast with the talk of my father. He nodded his head, accepting the answer. He went quiet again for a few seconds.

"Did he look like this?" I heard some rustling as I looked up to see him pull out his wallet and hand me a picture. I stared at it for a second. There was black haired man with brown eyes and darker skin than most of our people. He worked in the sun a lot then. There appeared to be a woman next to him, with his arm wrapped around her but she'd been ripped out of the picture. My voice was caught up in my throat. It was my father.

"How did you get this?" I threw the picture back at him as I stood up. I was furious. Enough was enough. He just raised a brow and tried to keep a grin off his face.

"Its pretty normal to keep a picture of your old man around, right?" He replied easily, like I wasn't about to have a breakdown in the kitchen with a full out stranger watching me.

"You mean thats your father?" I asked him quietly. He shrugged.

"Kinda. He came around for my mother when I was like eight. He stuck around till the stupid asshole died in a drunk wreck a while back." He said this just as easily as before, putting his hands behind his head and leaning back in the chair. I hope he falls and busts his stupid head open.

I watched him watch me and it occurred to me. He was enjoying this. The emotions going up and down, he was loving the looks on my face. Well fuck you buddy. I took in a deep breath and gave him a small pitying smile. He stared at it for a second, analyzing it with a frown.

"Well thats too bad. Time to take you to the elders!" I said and clapped my hands together, rushing past him to go up the stairs when he caught me by a stupid ass belt loop. I turned to glare at him, shoving his hand off of me.

"If you don't mind, keep your hands off of me. Okay?" I finished with a smile to confuse the hell out of him. I was sweating like crazy and I wanted to vomit but that was going to have to wait. I wasn't going to let him see that.

"Alright, alright." He pulled his hand back with a smile, he'd gotten a rise out of me. Even if it was a small one. I sighed to myself and continued up the stairs. I can do this.


We were driving faster than normal because honestly, I just wanted him out of the car. He was unnerving. When we were leaving, I motioned for him to go first. It was all fine and good until he turned to me and basically faked me out. I thought he was about to jump me and I flinched. I shouldn't have flinched. I kept thinking about it on the way, he was trying to scare me, hurt me. It was working and it meant I literally just showed him it was.

"We're here." I stated calmly and stared straight ahead. It was Billy Black's place. I waited for him to get out of the car before I did, keeping a vigilant eye on him. As soon as we popped out of the car, he turned meek and timid again. He shuffled and waited, shoulders and head pointed down. What the fuck.

"BILLY?" I yelled out towards the shed just in case he was out in the yard. Jacob came out of the shed a minute later. He'd put on some serious muscle and looked mildly happy to see me, covered in grease stains.

"Hey Kai! May want to keep your voice down, Uleys in there with him. Said he needed him and couldn't wait apparently." I blanched for a second and watched as Jacob rolled his eyes.

"Either way, how ya been? Haven't seen you since the bonfire." He put down the greased rag he was holding and hugged me. I unceremoniously patted his back, not sure about what else to do with such a big guy. He smelled like sweat, deodorant, and grease. He'd been working on cars then.

"Jacob!" Billy barked from the porch and scared both of us. I jumped hitting his chin with my head, causing him to jump as well. We sprang apart as I rubbed my head and spun around. I was still nervous about keeping my back to Richard. He was watching the porch now, paper and pens in hand. I looked towards the porch to see an angry as hell Sam. We made eye contact briefly until turned away and ran towards the forest, still shaking.

"Jeez...whats his problem?" Jacob was still rubbing his chin, looking at Sam as he ran.

"I pissed him off." I stated and Jacob gave a slap on the back, grinning.

"Good job, Kai!" He was starting to chuckle and I rolled my eyes. I still held some massive amounts of guilt from it but it'd have to be solved later. I heard the door shut again and assumed Richard went inside.

"So who was the guy?" He asked curiously as he motioned me back to the shed. He picked up the gray cloth on his way in.

"Hes here to study the tribe's local legends. Just...stay away from him." I said quietly, looking behind me. He stilled for a second.

"You okay, Kai?" He sounded a little concerned, I turned around and smiled at him.

"Perfect!" I waved him off with a smile. He watched me for a bit but slowly nodded, turning back around to a car he was working on.


A while later Richard came back out of the house, I said goodbye to Jacob and drove us back. His persona changed again. He was all in my space and every time I'd shift side ways, he'd shift even closer.

"Alright. Get out now!" I said happily as I turned off the car and sat there, waiting for him to move. I began to twiddle my fingers when he didn't, I didn't know why I couldn't just open the door and get out now. Hes not stopping me. My heart beat had been going 90 miles an hour since we left the Black's and I was locked up.

"You look a little uncomfortable, Kai." He stated as I felt him run a finger down my arm, making me freeze. I cleared my throat a bit and attempted to move to unlock the door.

Why hadn't I told anyone? But what was I supposed to actually tell them? He had picture of my dad and liked seeing me freak out? Like they'd believe that. He was a freakin' mouse around other people. I should have asked Sam. I need Sam.

I cleared my throat and forced myself to unlock the door and get out. I slammed the door shut and went into the house. As soon as I closed the door behind me, I dashed up the stairs and locked the door to my bedroom. I tried to pull out my cell phone to discover it was gone. I guess I dropped it in the run.

Oooookay. Deep breaths. You're totally fine. I don't even know why you're so panicked about this guy. Sam would have to come around again soon. Right? I mean someone would. I thought about Leah coming around but knew she'd never do it. The door knob jiggled for a second and I went into full out panic mode until I remembered it was locked. Thank god.

"Kai?" I head Richard's 'confident' voice come out, he was smiling too. I didn't respond, just tried to lower my breathing noises. He walked away chuckling and I released a breath heavily. Oooo my god what the hell. There was nothing else for a few more hours until the sun had gone down. I hadn't turned on the lights in the room when it had for whatever reason I couldn't consciously understand. I was still panicking and freaking out. The door started to jiggle again.

"Aw come on, Kai. Its not fun if you lock yourself in." He was almost whining and it made me ill to my stomach but I wasn't coming out. It was quiet for a few seconds before he flat out banged on the door.

"Don't fucking ignore me, Kai!" He was almost yelling, but not quite. It was really just the banging that scared me. I almost busted into tears but stopped halfway.

"Fine! Whatever." He grumbled and then I heard the foot steps walkaway. He was stomping but just hard enough for me to feel the tiny shakes. I held back the tears for a little more. I'd have to sleep at some point but I really reaaally didn't want too.
