Last chapter, you read about Maddy's feelings and you've probably been wondering about what Tom is going to say next. Hope you enjoy! –Brooke
Tom POV
She looked at me with her big brown eyes. How can I resist that? She wasn't making this easy. She needs to know! NO! She doesn't need to know. What should I tell her? The truth? Lie? I don't know anymore. Ok, telling the truth is hard, but it's the right thing to do. "Maddy, I just thought that maybe you did once. I know you always said that you two weren't dating, but me and Shan always had this feelings that maybe there was a spark between you." I looked at her apologetically for bringing Rhydian up again, but I think she understood.
Maddy POV
Why would he say that to me? Don't cry! Don't cry! "Actually there is something I have to tell you. Um…we have to tell you." He said. We? We? Who is we? "I mean me and Shannon. Shan and I are…dating." Tom is dating Shannon? What? I smiled at the thought. "Wow! That's great news!" I said, kind of relieved he doesn't have a crush on me anymore.
3rd person POV
Maddy hugged Tom goodbye. "Hey, maybe instead of moping around, you should do something about it." Tom said hoping to give Maddy some inspiration. Maddy started to walk home when she heard a noise coming from behind her. She slowly turned around when….a squirrel jumped down from the tree in front of Maddy. She chuckled and started to walk home again.
That night, Maddy laid in her bed thinking about what Tom had said. What should she do about it? She sat up realized exactly what she would do.
Maddy POV
I'm gonna go find him! I need a change of clothes and a sleeping bag. She quickly got dressed in jeans and a t-shirt, then put her shoes and jacket on. I need to find him.
3rd person POV
Maddy quietly slipped out of the house and ran through the woods. The sky was dark, but the diamonds sparkled brighter than the moon. The trees were still, but the party animals were still lively. Maddy continued running until she got to the edge of her pack's territory. The line which stood between Maddy and Rhydian was right in front of her. She took a deep breath and carefully stepped over the line. She looked at the forest that she knew so well and saluted to her home. She turned right around, but was stopped by this figure in the distance. A man? A wolf? Maddy smelled the air for which the scent did not appear. She walked to the figure slowly hoping to get a closer look. She stepped forward one last time and realized what she saw wasn't just a figure. It was a scarecrow! 1000 pounds of pressure dropped from her shoulders. She continued walking through the new territory when she heard voices in front of her. She saw people, real people, no, wolfbloods. Maddy remained as quiet as she could. She got closer and closer and suddenly she was scooped up in a big black bag. She smelled the scent. It was unfamiliar. She tossed and turned. Her eyes grew golden and her hand grew claws. She scratched at the bag several times hoping to escape. She suddenly hit the ground as if he dropped the bag. The person unzipped the bag and she jumped out growling and howling. She looked around. Everyone saw her. She was surrounded by wolfbloods. Young and old. The whole camp surrounded her. "What are you doing here?" a man said. "Who are you?" a woman growled. Maddy quickly returned to her human self. "My name is Maddy and I come in peace! I am looking for someone." The wolfbloods that surrounded her returned to their human selves. "Who are you looking for?" a little girl asked. Maddy smiled at her and looked at the man stepping towards her. "I am the alpha here. My name is Bohr. This is my daughter, Lani. Who are you looking for?"
Maddy POV
The sweet little girl was Bohr's daughter. Aww! She is so cute! "I am looking for another wolfblood. His name is Rhydian. Does anybody know him?" I heard gasps come from the crowd. "Follow me." Bohr said. I hesitated a little, but I went.
3rd person POV
Bohr led Maddy into his hut. The hut smelled of cinnamon and wood. "What do you want with him?" Maddy looked down, but then she explained. "You see, sir, he is my friend, but he left me for the wild. I needed to see him one last time so I can finally say goodbye. I left my territory to find him, but as you can tell, I haven't yet." The alpha smiled and laughed. Maddy looked confused, but then she chuckled a little. "Wow! He really doesn't like to stay in one place for so long! I have a eldest daughter. She's 15. She is everything to me other than Lani. Her name is Brooke. She has bright blonde hair and ocean blue eyes. She and Rhydian were supposed to marry a couple days ago, but he ran off somewhere. I haven't seen him since. Sorry about your luck! I think you should go now. I feel my people don't want you here." Maddy nodded and left the hut. She told the people she was sorry for wasting their time and she left. She ran through the forest all the way back to the edge of her territory. She noticed something different though. The scarecrow was knocked down. The head was pointing towards her home. That means whoever knocked it down was going towards her home.
Maddy POV
My heart literally dropped. I walked slowly towards the line when Rhydian jumped down from the tree. I gasped, but ran towards him. He smiled and ran away. He ran right to my house. Once he stopped, I tackled him to the ground. "Where have you been?" I said while smiling so big.
Rhydian POV
I looked at her. She was so happy to see me. This feeling I got when I saw her walking. This was where I belonged. With her and her family is where I wanted to be. "I was coming back when I saw you walking. Why were you out there? You crossed the territory line. What were you doing?" She smiled and looked at me with her big brown eyes. "I was looking for you. I wanted to say goodbye, since you failed to do so before, but now that you are back, I guess saying goodbye would be rude." She said as she hugged me tightly. She finally let go. I pulled in her in real close and…
