9. The Chase
Tonight was the night. No matter what I did I couldn't think about anything else. Tonight was a full moon, again. This time I would be in control of my body – or wolf form. I wouldn't be forced to kill anyone and not remember it. Also, we would be chasing the bad guys. The people apart of Monica's army or wolves.
I was in my room, sitting on my bed, trying to get some homework done. Paper was all over the place, making me want to scream any minute for not doing anything!
That's when the door knocked.
"Come in," I groaned, looking at all of the papers.
The door opened and when I looked up I saw Lexi, with two cups in her hands.
"Hey," She closed the door behind her. "I brought hot chocolate." She put one of the cups on the table beside my bed.
A small smiled came on my lips, "Thanks." What else could I say? I didn't really know Lexi and well, what was there to say.
Lexi sat on the edge, adoviding the paperwork. "Are you okay?"
I tapped my pen on my notebook. "Fine."
There was a moment of silence.
"There's no reason to be worried," I looked up to her. "I remember what I did when I first turned."
"What did you do?" I asked.
"I killed a mother and her child," my eyes widen, "The biggest mistake I have ever made and it will live with me for the rest of life." She sighed and looked away, "But after the second turn, the things you do, the things you see." She looked back to me with a smile on her face, "It all comes naturally."
I smiled back at her, "Thanks."
"You're welcome and now," She said getting up. "I got to go and see a man about a wolf."
I laughed and she left the room.
After she closed the door, I got off my bed and went over to my iPod. I put on No Surprise by the Daughtry.
I've practiced this for hours, gone round and round
And now I think that I've got it all down
And as I say it louder I love how it sounds
Cause I'm not taking the easy way out
Not wrapping this in ribbons
Shouldn't have to give a reason why
It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise
It came out like a river once I let it out
When I thought that I wouldn't know how
Held onto it forever just pushing it down
Felt so good to let go of it now
Not wrapping this in ribbons
Shouldn't have to give a reason why
It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
There's nothing here in this heart left to borrow
There's nothing here in this soul left to say
Don't be surprised when we hate this tomorrow
God know we tried to find an easier way
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise
Our favourite place we used to go
The warm embrace that no one knows
The loving look that's left your eyes
That's why this comes as no, as no surprise
If I could see the future and how this plays out
I bet it's better than where we are now
But after going through this, it's easier to see the reason why
It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise
The kiss goodnight, it comes with me
Both wrong and right, our memories
The whispering before we sleep, just one more thing that you can't keep
Our favourite place we used to go
The warm embrace that no one knows
The loving look that's left your eyes
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise
"Hey Rose-" Thea cut herself off when she saw me laying on the floor. "Why are you on the floor?"
I looked up at the ceiling, "Thinking."
Thea looked up at the ceiling and shrugged. She walked over to where I was and laid down beside me. There was a silence again as the next song – It's Not Over by The Daughtry – came on.
I was blown away what could I say
It all seemed to make sense
You've taken away everything
And I can't do without
I try to see the good in life
But good things in life are hard to find
(Chorus)
Blow it away, Blow it away
Can we make this something goooood
Well I'll try to do it right this time around
Let's start oveeerr
I'll try to do it right this time around
It's not oveeerr
There's a part of me that's dead and in the ground
This love is killing me, but you're the only one
It's not overrrrr
(Chorus)
Taken all I could take and I cannot wait
Were wasting to much time
Being strong holding on
Can't let it bring us down
My life with you means everything
So I won't give up that easily
(Chorus)
Blow it Away, Blow it Away
Can we make this something gooood
Cause its all misunderstoooood
Well I'll try to do it right this time around
Let's start over
I'll try to do it right this time around
It's not over
Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground
This love is killing me
But you're the only one
It's not oveeeerrr
(Chorus)
We can't let this get away
Let it out, let it out
Don't get caught up in yourself
Let it ouuuuttttt
(Chorus)
Let's start over
I'll try to do it right this time around
It's not over
Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground
This love is killing me
But you're the only one
It's not oveeer
Let's start oveeeerrr
Its not oveeerr, Oh yeah, yeah!
This love is killing me
But you're the only one
It's not oveeerrrr...
"You don't have to be nervous you know," Thea said. "You're not going on a murdering spree and won't remember it. The second turn isn't like the first turn."
"I know," I sighed, "I just can't help it."
"I know, you're a stress head." Thea commented.
I snorted, "You really can't say much."
We laughed.
"Hey guys, I-" Serena then just walked into the room and saw us on the floor. "What are you guys doing?"
"Thinking," Both Thea and I said together. Soon enough Serena was laying down with us.
The next song came on. (Behind These Hazel Eyes by Kelly Clarkson).
Seems like just yesterday
You were a part of me
I used to stand so tall
I used to be so strong
Your arms around me tight
Everything, it felt so right
Unbreakable, like nothin' could go wrong
Now I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hanging on
Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel
eyes
I told you everything
Opened up and let you in
You made me feel alright
For once in my life
Now all that's left of me
Is what I pretend to be
So together, but so broken up inside
'Cause I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hangin' on
Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
Swallow me then spit me out
For hating you, I blame myself
Seeing you it kills me now
No, I don't cry on the outside
Anymore...
Anymore...
Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
That is when Cullen came into the room and saw us three laying on the floor. "Do I even want to know?"
"No," We said together and then laughed.
As me, Thea, Cullen and Lexi were walking up to the cave, I felt as if I couldn't breathe. All of the memories of the first turn came rushing back in sonic speed. I hope it wouldn't be as painful as last time.
"Hey," Lexi said coming up behind and putting a hand on my shoulder. "Breathe."
I breathed out and smiled at Lexi, "Thanks."
"It's fine, it's always hard being a newbie." Lexi sort of joked.
Once when we got into the cave, we set everything up that we would need after the change. Like clothes, food, water, etc. My nerves became more and more as it became dark and the moon was rising up on the cave. At times like these I wish I was never bitten. I wish I never walked into the forest that night. But then I would of never met Serena, Cullen and Thea. The best friends that anyone could ever ask for.
"Okay," Lexi breathed looking up at the moon. "It's time."
My heart was racing like a rocket as sweat formed on my forehead. I wasn't ready for this, I couldn't do this.
That's when it happened.
Hairs all over my body started to grow and my body went to the ground. I started to hear a scream. At first I thought it was me screaming, but then I turned to see Thea. She almost looked unnoticeable, as dark red hairs were all over her body, covering her skin. She was laying down on the ground like me, she looked like she was in aching pain and then her legs moved into a place where I refused to look anymore. I looked straight at the ground as Thea contiuned her screams, I started to wonder where Lexi and Cullen were. But then I remembered that they were older than us so they could change quickly, unlike us. That's when I felt pain all around my body, like toxic going through your body, breaking all of your bones and bruising your muscles.
This was the part where I screamed. A bloody, terrifying scream.
Just then, for just a second.
I blacked out.
The smell of the forest was very clear, I could smell the apple trees as well as the lillies. When I opened my eyes it was still night and I was still in the cave. I knew it was cold but I couldn't feel it as the hotness was around me. As I got up from the ground, there was something weird about the way I was stand. I slowly looked down and was amazed by what I saw.
I had four legs! And my skin wasn't skin anymore, it was fur. Dark, shining brown fur which made me feel like it was a dream. But I knew it wasn't.
Rose? a voice spoke to me. I turned around to see another wolf and I knew that dark red hair anywhere. Are you okay?
I tried to nod, but it seems impossible when your in this form. Yes, I tried to send to Wolf Thea. I'm fine.
Even though I couldn't really see her face, I could tell she was smiling at my message. Okay, let's go. Cullen and Lexi are waiting for us at the other side of the cave.
She ran in front of me first. I hestatied before following her, not really knowing how to use my legs. But I did it naturally, like normal day legs.
Thea and I shortly met up with Cullen and Lexi.
You OK Rose? Cullen asked.
I'm fine, just a bit freaking out back here. I replied.
Okay this how we are going to do it, Lexi said to us. Cullen and Rose, you two go north, Thea and I will go west. If we don't find any of Monica's little army mates by dawn, we will return to the cave. Got it.
Yes boss, Thea said and Wolf Lexi looked at her. I mean ma'am.
That's when we split up, most of the time me and Cullen ran through silence. I think he was giving me time to get used to what I was at the moment. But truthly, I don't think I will ever get used to it. I mean, how can you get used to something that isn't normal. I've given up on trying to be normal now.
Suddenly, out of no where, a wolf came out and attacked me. I didn't much experince with fighting wolves and last time this happened to me, I lost the fight. As soon as he was on me, he was off of me. Cullen tackled the male wolf to the ground and the fight began. They kept biting and crawing at each other, at this point I didn't even know who was winning. Just then the male wolf threw Cullen to a tree; the male wolf was winning.
I had to do something, anything!
I lunged at the male wolf, surprising him and got him to the ground. He didn't stay on the ground for long, as he bit me, making me weaken my hold. The bit healed and now it was just me and the male wolf. He jumped to my, but I quickly missed him and bit him on his tail. Still hanging onto this tail I dragged him as far as I could and then, the male wolf's head was kicked off.
I quickly let go of his tail, realising he was dead. I looked up to see Wolf Lexi.
I heard you two were in trouble, so I came to finish off the job. Lexi told me, You did well Rose.
I didn't answer as I looked back to the male wolf that now turned back to his human form. I was shocked to see that he wasn't much older than me, he looked around 16, which made me think how young were the other members of Monica's army. If they were as young as this boy, that means they didn't get a chance to live, like me.
I saw distanly the sun coming up, meaning that it was dawn.
We should be getting back to the cave now Rose, Lexi said and I followed her to the cave.
"How old?" Richard asked, in disbelief.
"Around 15 or 16." Lexi repeated herself. We were in the living room. Turning back into human wasn't as bad as turning into a wolf. That was one thing I was glad for. Cullen had a broken arm, but it would heal by tomorrow.
Richard groaned, "How young do you think she is going?"
"I don't know," Lexi confessed, "But the younger the better."
"Wait," Thea said, "What do you mean ' the younger the better'?"
Lexi sighed, "When a werewolf is turned at a much younger age, like 14, 15, 16, 17 or 18, they are much stronger in the first few years before they reach the age 21."
"Is that why she turned me?" I asked, "Because I'm 18?"
Richard nodded, "But now Monica has done the impossible. Taking young children from their homes and focing them to fight."
"What happens if they don't fight?" Serena asked.
"Monica will kill them or her little pet will." Lexi explained.
"So wait," I started. "This is really a war now, isn't it?"
Richard looked at me straight in the eyes and slowly nodded. "Yes it is."
Well, let the war begin! This has been my first update in a while so I would like to say sorry about that and I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
