Chapter 2
What's he done now? I ask my self repeatedly. "Dad?" Jana says surprisingly, looking as he fast approaches. My natural instinct told me to run, its never failed me before, so I followed it. Shannon and Tom shouted a few things, but all I was concentrating on was running faster than before and not losing my balance. One mistake and it would be game over.
As we approached the woods, It took a quick glance to realise that I had forgotten the pure beauty the forest has to offer. The variety of different birds singing their daily tune, webs with dewdrops that look like sparkling diamonds and colourful flowers row upon row of them. It brings back memories of my childhood. I've grown up here, but never understood the magical power of the woods. This is where Wolfbloods should be.
In a few seconds my focus was back on the chase, I looked to my left to see that Rhydian wasn't there. My blood started pumping and my heart raced. Where was he? Was I too oblivious to know that he had already been caught? Did I block out his screams? I looked behind me to see Rhydian falling behind and Alric and the other wild Wolfbloods catching up.
I could tell by just looking at his face that he was losing his strength. I don't know how long he was running for before he got to the stage we're at now but by the looks of it, maybe hours.I knew that he couldn't go on for much longer and I feared it.
I'd be lying if I said that I didn't have a crush on Rhydian. I could understand everyone I met even for a second or two, but with him, I couldn't get my head around him. I was going to ask him out a couple of times, but I couldn't get the words out.
I knew I had to do something, and then I remembered something my mum and dad taught me when I was younger. How to climb trees. I looked behind me and said to Rhydian, "Rhydian, follow what I do so we can stand a chance of getting away!" He nodded at me, but their was a slight look of confusion on his face.
I made my move and ran in the middle of two trees, and ran to the tallest and thickest tree I could find, and started to climb there was a thick branch as soon as started so I sat on it. Rhydian was trying to climb, but couldn't grip. Alric was fast approaching, so I said to Rhydian, "Give me your hand!" I stretched out an arm and he grabbed it. He used his legs to climb up and my arm as a sort of harness as he got to the branch as well. We looked down to see that Alric and his gang were there. Alric looked around and sniffed the air. The wind blew our scent in a different direction. They started to run north.
When they were out of sight we started to smile. "Good idea!" He whispered. "I know," I smiled, "I learned when I was a child, and guess what else I learned?" He shrugged his shoulders. "Jumping of them!" I answered. But when I was going to jump of, he spun me around and gave me a kiss on the lips. My heart pounded. He smiled. "I forgot to ask, will you go out with me?" My heart leapt and I stopped breathing for a second. "Yes." I said gasping for air.
He laughed. "Together?" He asked. "Together."I answered. "3,2,1!" We said and we both jumped. We landed and quickly ran south to head to school, holding hands all the way.
