"Shannon anything new or exciting in your life? "Emma asked.
"Well I decided to finish all of my classes that I need to graduate online to make life easier." Shannon answered.
As Maddy went to get chairs for Shannon and Tom, a knock came to the door.
*Knock knock*
"Rhydian do you think you could get that?" Dan asked
"Sure" Rhydian answered.
As Rhydian neared the door he could smell the familiar scent of a wolfblood on the other side of the door but he couldn't recognize who it was. The closer he got to the door the more he could smell blood so instead of walking the rest of the way he picked up his speed and threw open the door. He didn't know what he was expecting when he opened the door but he wasn't ready for what was on the other side of the door.
"Hello, are you Rhydian?" a tall teenage looking boy asked,
"yeah and who are you?" Rhydian answered,
"My names Matei Jana sent me she said you could help me."
"Help you with-" Rhydian was cut off when a young-looking girl yelped in pain. in less than 5 seconds Maddy Dan and Emma were at the door with Tom and Shannon following.
"What is happening here?" Emma asked and as Shannon and Tom caught up to the door Shannon felt a twinge of a memory in the back of her head.
"Matei?" Shannon said voice full of surprise.
"All four of you go upstairs and let us deal with what happening here." Dan ordered.
Maddy Rhydian Shannon and Tom all went upstairs without question.
"What's going on?" Maddy asked.
"I wish I knew all I know is that before I came up here Jana sent me message explaining that thing were going to get bad." Shannon said
"Ok Shan but how do you know that guy down there?" Maddy asked urgency filling her voice.
"Well before I left to come up here Jana had me meet a few of her friends saying that when things get bad that we could trust them." Shannon said.
"Ok well who are they?" Rhydian asked.
"Well as far as I know there's Matei and Emilia, the ones who just showed up at your door. There's also TJ but I don't really know any of them that well." Shannon explained
"Ok but is anyone gonna say anything about the fact that one of them was covered in blood, I don't have to have superhuman senses to know that." Tom exclaimed.
As all four of them sat there pondering what was going on it was Maddy who finally broke the silence.
"I think that at least one of us if not all needs to go downstairs and find out what the hell is going on."
"Agreed" Shannon and Tom said at the same time which made Shannon blush.
All four of them got up to go downstairs not bothering to try and sneak because they all knew it's next to impossible to sneak past a Wolfblood on high alert.
"Mom what's going on?" Maddy was the first to speak up once they all got down the stairs.
"Well apparently these two were on their way here to give us a message from Jana when they were attacked by wild Wolfblood who most likely recognized them from the news." Dan answered while Emma was busy sterilizing a needle so she could stitch Emilias wounds.
"I know these aren't the best conditions for doing something like this but since we can't exactly take you to a hospital this is the best we got." Emma said to Emilia.
"It's going to be ok." Matei said rushing over to Emilia to comfort her while Emma began to stitch her up- hands shaking.
"Here mrs. Smith let me help you!" Shannon said walking over to finish stitching Emilia up, but as soon as Shannon got to close Emilia began to growl, which put everyone on edge.
"Emilia its ok" Matei said
"but she's human!" Emilia said clearly upset.
"It's ok you can trust her" Matei said trying to comfort her.
"It's ok Emilia" Shannon said
"Now I have to finish stitching you up its probably going to hurt a little bit are you ready?" Shannon asked picking up the needle.
"Go ahead I'm ok now." Emilia answered.
While Shannon finished up stitching Emilias wound Tom went to get and area ready to lay Emilia down so she could rest.
"May I talk to you two?" Dan said motioning to the hallway.
"Alright dad what is it?" Maddy asked
"Well as far as I can tell they weren't followed."
"I didn't even think of that." Maddy said interrupting.
"Right neither did we until Matei mentioned it. Also, the message Jana sent was a email where we could talk in private and not be tracked." Dan added
"but why would she risk Matei and Emilia being caught or seen just to send us and email why not just email us using that email." Rhydian said
"He's got a point I think we need to find out." Maddy added completely ready for whatever was going to come next.
As the three of them emerged into the living room and kitchen they saw Matei laying Emilia down on the couch. Dan went to go and talk to Emma which left all six teenagers alone in the living room with no clue what to do next.
"I'm going to run upstairs and grab a blanket and some extra pillows she looks cold." Rhydian said as he started up the stairs
" Ill come with you." Maddy said speed-walking to catch up.
Now there were only four teens in the living room. Upstairs Maddy and Rhydian were gathering up pillows and blankets when Rhydian finally broke the awkward silence filling the room.
"Are we going to talk about what happened before all this happened?" Rhydian asked putting down the quilt he had just grabbed out of his closet.
"Yeah we should." Maddy answered also putting down the pillows she had in her hand.
"I guess there really isn't that much to talk about." Rhydian said.
"Yeah your right." Maddy answered.
With every word they were getting closer and closer, soon enough there wasn't any space between them. Rhydian reached down just barely brushing his lips against Maddys. It was Maddy who speed everything up by using her strength to push Rhydian up against the wall. Rhydian grabbed Maddys legs and picked her up, walking over to the bed and laying her down she stopped
"Is now really the time to be doing this?" Maddy asked not really ready to stop
"Is there really a right time?" Rhydian asked a smile tugging at his lip
"Your right" Maddy said tugging off Rhydians shirt. Downstairs Dan and Emma had just entered the living room.
"Alright me and Emma have decided that it would be best if we use the email and find out what Jana wants or needs." Dan said.
"Shannon where are Maddy and Rhydian?" Emma asked.
"They're upstairs getting some pillows and blankets for Emilia I'll go and get them." Shannon said.
Upstairs Maddy and Rhydian were to busy to hear Shannons heavy footsteps on the stairs.
"Is this really happening?" Maddy said barely able to catch her breath
"Yes I think it is". Rhydian was taking off Maddys shirt when Shannon walked in the door.
"Oh my gosh." Shannon yelped and turned away.
"Put your shirts on both of you." Shannon said covering her eyes with her hand sounding more like a mother than anything.
As Maddy and Rhydian put their clothes back on they had to listen to a lecture from Shannon about being irresponsible by doing something like that during a time like this. Maddy and Rhydian kept sneaking glances toward each other knowing that they would continue and next time nothing would stop them from getting want they really wanted- each other…
