Chapter 13 - Irresistible
I crept into Dad's workshop and grabbed one of the masks that was hanging on the wall. Then I crept out again and closed the door behind me. I ran away, making sure that I wasn't in sight of the house. I ran through the forest trying to get to the canister before Tom and Shannon did.
Suddenly I saw a thick white mist reaching through the trees. I pulled the mask on, took a deep breath and carried on. When I reached the mist, I put my head down and held my breath to run through, just in case.
When I got through to the other side, I could smell Ceri running towards Tom and Shannon.
"Throw it away!" I shouted to them, "throw it away!"
Ceri transformed and leapt towards Tom and Shan and I did the only thing I could think of. The same. I leapt over them and met Ceri in mid-air, making sure neither of us landed on them.
When we landed, Ceri started growling at me and I did the same. We were circling each other and snarling, I hated Ceri for trying to take Rhydian and she probably hates me for more or less the same reason.
"Are we going insane?!" Tom shouted.
"We're not insane Tom, and we never were!" Shannon told him, whilst starting to take pictures.
Suddenly, Rhydian jumped between us and I could tell that Ceri and I had been so wrapped up in each other, that we hadn't noticed him arrive and transform.
Rhydian growled at each of us in turn, telling us to leave each other alone.
We all transformed back to humans in front of Tom and Shannon.
"Enough! I said enough!" I shouted at Maddy and Ceri.
Then I grabbed the canister and chucked it as far as I could into the trees. No-one would find it now.
I looked round and saw Bryn run up to us.
"Mum!" He shouted.
"Where have you been? You foolish boy!" She hugged him, "don't you ever run off again!"
"I'm sorry." He replied.
I looked over to Maddy and she was staring on horror at Tom and Shannon.
"It's ok! It's the chemicals! It makes you see things. It's not..." She started to make excuses.
"Oh, give it up Maddy, they know. This is my mum, Ceri, and my brother, Bryn. We're all Wolfbloods."
"Like Maddy." Shannon asked.
She never got an answer because, just then, Maddy's parents drove up in their car. They got out and Emma asked, "what happened?"
"Your secrets out." Ceri replied maliciously.
"You did this." Daniel pointed at me angrily, "we invite you into our pack and you destroy everything!" He shouted at me.
Suddenly, Maddy jumped in front of him, blocking his way to me.
"Stop it!" She shouted at him and I shouted the same at Ceri who was growling and stalking towards them.
"You need to leave our territory." Emma shouted at us.
"Mam, no!" Maddy shouted back.
"It's all right Maddy. She's right. I don't belong here. I've got a pack of my own." I looked back to Ceri and she smiled at me and Bryn hugged me.
"My son," she said before hugging me too.
Maddy turned to Tom and Shannon,
"Listen... Shan I wanted to tell you," she ran away, "Tom, if you just give us a chance to explain..." He ran away too.
"That's it Maddy," Emma grabbed her, "we're going. Now!"
I watched as Emma forced Maddy into their car. She looked back at me before she got in with a worried look on her face.
The car drove off with Maddy in the back, her hand on the window, looking at me as if she was never going to see me again. And the worst thing? I didn't know if she would.
A/N: I did it! Five episodes in two days!
I am going away for four days now so I will try to write series two after that.
Thank you!
