Chapter 12

Always Running

Alex

Her lips tasted sweet on mine. They were warm and shaped perfectly. When she kissed me back, I freaked out. But she pushed me away. I knew why, but I could tell she liked it as much as I did.

"Have fun tonight brother?" Chase asked, laughing as I came down to the basement, seeing him sitting next to Kaitlyn who wasn't screaming for once. "You should just give her to Victor. You have no need to take care of her. You're the one who hated her, remember?"

I narrowed my eyes. "Why are you back? How come Victor let you go Chase? There has to be a reason," I hissed at him. That's when I smelled the blood. I looked to my right and saw a human on the ground. "Chase… what have you done?" I asked, backing away.

"She needed human blood Alexander. Not that animal shit you've been giving her. If you want her on your side, you're going to need her to be strong," Chase claimed.

"Get out," I hissed quietly at him. He looked at me bewildered. "What?" He asked, laughing as he did. "I want you out of my house and out of my life! And take her with you! I don't care where you go, just don't stay here!" I yelled at him.

"Nah, you don't mean that Alexander. Trust me," Chase felt so sure I didn't mean it. And for a second, I thought I wasn't going to mean it. But I needed to get him out. "No, I mean it Chase. Everything you put me through, it's made my life miserable. Just please, leave," I said a little nicer and turned.

"Alex, wait," He said, putting a hand on my shoulder. "What?" I hissed though my teeth. "Victor didn't let me go, I escaped. And I found out things, that you should know that he plans to do. I'm sorry brother. You know how I am, but I know the things he is doing and you need to know and for you to know, you need to let me stay here and make the plans with you to take him down."

I turned and looked at him. I knew my brother very well, and he was a liar, but I knew his lying face and this wasn't it. It looked like he was scared… scared of Victor coming after him, us, Maggie. Everyone. Victor had plans and I knew they were not going to be good.

"There is a reason I am giving Kaitlyn blood, and she agreed to help us because he did this to her. She just doesn't want to be chained down here," Chase told me, walking over to Kaitlyn.

I looked at Kaitlyn and her eyes were wide. "Alex," She said, her voice high pitched and soft. "Please. I hate this so much. I promise not to leave the house. I know people think I am dead. Put silver on the doors if you have to. Just please let me out of this basement," Kaitlyn pleaded with me.

For some odd reason, I nodded. She smiled at me, and hugged me. I kept my arms at my sides and she walked up the stairs to explore the house.

Chase then suddenly laughed. "So, you never told me brother. How was Maggie? She taste good?"

"You watched?" I asked him, not really caring. I kind of hoped it made him feel jealous or mad. "Yea, I was around. Seems like somebody likes you," He laughed, but I could see the hurt in his eyes.

I smiled at him and walked up after Kaitlyn, showing her the room she was allowed to stay in.

(A.N. when I post stories, they aren't letting me put in breaks, so I am just going to try to make it as obvious as possible so it's not confusing in later reading.)

It was late. Chase was upstairs sleeping, and Kaitlyn was as well. I sat in the study upstairs, just sitting there, looking at the ground. I knew what I did tonight with Maggie was a mistake, but I couldn't help it. She is just perfect.

Sighing, I whipped my face with my hands and heard a crash downstairs. I stood up slowly and walked into the hall. Chase and Kaitlyn's doors were still shut so I knew it wasn't either of them.

I walked towards the steps and walked down them, getting ready for an attack. "Don't even try Alex. I'm just here to talk," a voice said from the living room. I saw Ali sitting on the couch, smiling up at me.

"I can smell Maggs on you. What did you do?" Ali told me, her smile disappearing. "Umm," I couldn't get anything out. I got closer and sat down, watching her. "You kissed her," it wasn't a question. She could smell Maggie on me. On my lips.

"Yea. I couldn't help it. You know me," I tried to smile at her. "Yea. You love her too much, I know," She smiled and put her hands behind her head.

"I do love her. That's why I am committed to keeping her safe from you little master," I told her. She frowned. "What? Don't like me talking about you master? You know, he's not all he seems to you. He really is a sick man."

She sat forward. "I hate him Alex. You have no idea what he will do to me if I don't follow him. I'm his now, and it has to stay like that. I want to leave to bad, but I can't," She cried.

I looked sincerely at her, got up, and sat next to her, pulling her into a hug. "I will get you back from him. I just need time."

"Time for what Alex? He is acting fast. He is determined to get Maggie for himself. He wants her Alex! He wants to make her his wife! Didn't Chase tell you this! He wants to change Maggie, and rule the world together. He thinks that he can erase her mind when she turns and that he can get into her mind and change everything so he can have her. I need to save her Alex, but I can't," Ali cried into my shoulder.

"Oh my god," I whispered, taking my arms away from her and standing up. "Alex, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have told you that," She said, covering her mouth.

I looked at the ground, my mind going crazy. "Alex. Please, don't do anything stupid. I really shouldn't be here in the first place. I should go," Ali got up but I caught her arm.

"Will you try to keep my updated? Promise? I'll try to keep myself from going to him and killing him, but you need to promise me to keep me updated on his plans. If you can," I asked her. She nodded. "Promise."

I let her go and she changed into a wolf right in front of me. It was graceful, the way she changed. She had a golden coat with a white muzzle. She ran into the kitchen and out the back and once she hit the woods, I could hear her howl a mournful howl. I sighed and went back upstairs, going to my room and tried to get some sleep.

Maggie

I haven't talked to Alex at all lately. It's been about a week and I've tried to avoid him. Chase has been watching me, but we were barley talking. Things were going down hill. I missed my friend. Both of them.

"Maggie, come on. Won't you come tomorrow?" Zach asked, pulling me closer to him, his hands on my hips. "Why? I'm going to be left out and you know that. I'm not that social now."

Zach sighed. "Just come? For me? Please? If you want, you can invite Alex if you want."

"No," I said all too quickly. Zach smiled at me slightly. "I'll come. Promise," I said. "Great. I'll pick you up at 7," Zach kissed me. "Oh, and here," Zach took off his letter jacket and put it around me. "Zach, I can't wear this."

"Yes you can. So, 7, tomorrow?" Zach waved good bye and left me standing in the hallway with his letter jacket on.

"Nice jacket," Chase's voice sounded behind me. I shut my locker and turned to look at him. "What Chase?" I asked, starting to walk down the hall and to the main doors to get out into the parking lot.

"Did you see Alex after lunch today?" Chase asked me, walking next to me. "Nope. I thought he left," I told Chase hopefully, not looking at him. But he must have suspected because he grabbed my arm and turned me to look at him. "Maggie, you know we are trying to keep you safe. You don't have to be so stubborn just because you kissed Alex."

I brought my hand up and slapped Chase. He smiled at the slap, rubbing his face. "Keep your hands off me. It's your fault I'm being hunted and watched. Just leave me alone, and stay out of my way Chase. I'm not in the mood, okay?"

I walked on, but Chase kept pace with me easily, not leaving my side.

"What do you want from me?" I asked him, going out to my car. "Just watching," He replied, getting in the passenger seat. "Chase, get out," I told him.

Chase just made a crooked smile and stared at me. I moaned. When was this going to end?

I got in and drove out of the parking lot and headed for his house. "Maggie," Chase said. "Chase, I really don't want to…" Chase cut me off. "Maggie! Drive faster!" He screamed at me.

I jumped and looked at him. "Chase, what is-?" But I suddenly saw what was wrong. It was unbelievable. There were wolves on either side of my car, running, watching us.

"God Damn it," Chase hissed and suddenly I was in the passenger seat. "What the hell?" Chase slammed on the breaks and quickly turned the car around, speeding up again once he did. "Chase, what's going one?" I asked him.

But he didn't answer. The car was soon going 80 miles an hour and I was gripping the seat, with my good hand. "Chase slow down!" I yelled at him, but he didn't slow.

I closed my eyes. Was this really happening? Could this possibly be happening to me? It didn't seem real. But as I was thinking these things, someone picked me up.

I moaned and opened my eyes, seeing that I was home and Chase was taking me inside. "What happened?" I asked, bringing my hand up to my forehead as a headache started to form. How and when did I black out? I didn't even remember. "You fainted when I was driving fast. Sorry. I was just trying to save your life," Chase muttered to me, going to my room and setting me on my bed.

"I don't remember fainting," I told him, looking up at him. Chase just starred at me. "Look, Alex will be over later. Lock your windows and doors and stay out of trouble, Kay? I have things to do."

"Chase, you need to stop be so full of yourself. Really, it's getting super annoying," I told him, standing up.

"It's just the way I am Maggie. Deal with it," he told me. "No I will not deal with it. It's getting old. I know you weren't always like this and maybe if you tried, you could be nice again. Maybe you should try it some time."

Chase was suddenly in my face. "Don't test me Maggie. I can easily hurt you. I am in no mood right now."

"Is it because I slapped you?" I asked him. "Baby," I then said really low but he must have heard it.

Chase pushed me up against the wall, fangs bared. "Maggie, stop! You don't know the things I am going through right now! Just please stop trying to test my patience!"

I couldn't say anything. I stared at his fangs, fear entering my body. He backed slowly away from me. "I'll see later," Chase muttered to me and was gone.

I sank to the floor, trying to comprehend all of this. I moaned and put my head against my wall, looking at the ceiling. Maybe I should just give up. I didn't want to do this anymore. All of this was crazy.

I got up and walked over to my chair, picking up Alex's journal. Opening it, I started to read, only to fall asleep once I opened it.

PLEASE READ! IMPORTANT! Okay, it's too short, I know, but I am having super bad writers block right now and I wanted to get something out for you guys. Okay, but here is some news. I am trying something new. Sense I have major writers block, I need the fans help. What I am asking is that you come up with an idea for the next chapter.
