Chapter 3
(Right after Chloe had run into the woods.)
CPOV
I love the smell of the woods, the feeling of the ground flying underneath my feet. Being a werewolf wasn't that bad, it was weird for me, for the first week, especially since it hurt everyday! But now it was fine. There wasn't much out here; I scanned the entire border line of the safe house. Every time I tried to run out of the border though, I would be pitched back by some invisible barrier. (How movie like ha) so I wasn't going to be an idiot and batter myself senseless against it, trying to get through… That reminded me of my walk with Derek, when he said he went to the zoo and a wolf was throwing itself at the wall. Would that happen with me now? Like the animal attraction, where the dogs bark, and the wild animals go crazy. I hope not.
I started to head back after looking at the barrier once more; I would have to ask Andrew how he did that, and tell Simon to start doing that, to protect us from everything on the run.
Once I was back everyone was up, great I was out the entire night. I changed back and got dressed in an extra pair of jeans and a tee-shirt, I wouldn't be able to do anything about my skin, and it would look darker for a bit, maybe I could sneak into the house. Doubt it though. To bad I didn't bring my cell phone/walkie-talkie thing, than I could call Will, and ask him to help. WAIT, I know.
Liz was at the door I was going to give her the signal than she would swing it open and throw some books and papers, maybe some plate's around to distract everyone and I could run in.
"Okay, on three" I said, my voice was hoarse from not talking all night.
"One," I got into position like I was in the Olympics
"Two", Liz grasped the handle of the door, and tensed.
"Three!" I said and bolted forward, Liz whipped the door open everything inside flew, Tori and Simon who were bickering inside screamed and ran out, calling for me. I ran upstairs as fast as possible and into my room. slamming the door behind me. I gulped air, my heart racing, than I slid down the wall laughing at myself. Liz appeared in front of me rolling on the ground laughing. I asked her what was so funny and she said "Simon and Tori sound EXACTLY the same when they're screaming!" I thought about that, when I ran in both of them were screaming, but I couldn't tell the difference between the too.
"THEY DO!" I yelled and fell onto the floor laughing two.
There was a knock at my door, I calmed down a bit than stood up and opened the door. A very tired looking Derek stood outside, he was rubbing one of his eyes with his finger, and said "What just happened, I heard a lot of crashing downstairs." Than yawned.
Thank god my skin was back to normal now.
"Oh, that was just Liz playing a prank on Simon and Tori" I said, "sorry if it woke you up."
"It's fine." He mumbled than walked down stairs, a little more awake now.
I hung out the door and watched him walk down the stairs, his shoulders already slumped, an upset aura around him.
What was wrong with Derek lately?
DPOV
I walked slowly down the stairs, my dream from last night tugging on my mind. There had to be a way to get rid of this stupid dream from my mind. The same thing every night was just horrible, no matter how many times I've had this dream, the pain of it never dies, just sitting, watching my mate get torn to pieces by my kind. It was killing me. I wanted to protect her, but some how just being around her seemed to be dangerous... Looked like I'd have to try my best to avoid her than, for her sake.
