Authors Notes: Gosh I hate mushy stuff. Except for when its the end of a story, then mushy stuff is fine by me, but I'm just anothe one of those people who like a happy ending but know in the back of their mind that it would never happen in real life.
Not Without A Fight
Maddy
Why won't he tell me who this other guy is? Instead he is just kissing me. I push him away, just slightly so I can talk, "Rhydian!" I snap, I didn't mean to, I'm just annoyed with being kept in the dark about stuff, not knowing what people are talking about, "Rhydian, tell me right now! Who is this guy that you are talking about?" I ask getting off of the bed and turning to him as he sits up on the bed. He has an icy glare on, and he is quickly stood up and across the room towards me, he cups my face with both hands, "Please, Rhydian tell me. The only way you can keep me safe is if you tell me." I beg taking his hands away from my face and keeping hold of them inbetween us.
"You know what, why don't you ask your mum? I'm done here." He tells me letting go of my hands and walking down the stairs with me behind him trying to keep up. I know he is angry, but he should just tell me. As I walk down I see my mam and dad standing over the table talking in hushed tones. I move my hair behind my ear and hear them say...
"We should get Jana, she can get her pack and help." My dad tells me mam, and she nods, why do they need Jana and her pack? Is it really that bad?
"Mam? Dad? What's going on? Who was Rhydian talking about?" I ask, both their heads snap up and look at me, mam looks over at Rhydian who still has that stormy look on his face, she shakes her head at him, I don't know why, maybe its because she didn't want me to know, at least not like this, but whatever it is Rhydian scoffs at and walks into the kitchen, they're not telling me anything at the moment and its not fair, "Tell me!" I snap.
"You wouldn't believe us if we told you." Dad told me, I cross my arms over my chest and wait for him to continue, Rhydian walks back in with his coat on, dad looks at Rhydian with an annoyed expression, "Your not going anywhere. Maddy, its Fred, he's the son of Lucas and they are planning to make you Freds mate." Dad tells me, I take a step back, it doesn't sound anything like Fred, and how can he be the son of Lucas, he's friends with me, Lucas hates tame wolfbloods, and if Fred and Lucas are planning it surely there must be something more to it.
"Your right." I say looking between all three of them, "I don't believe you. Because your lying! How could Fred be planning something like that? And even if he was, why would Lucas, his supposed father, allow it!" I snap walking past Rhydian and into the kitchen where my coat lies on the table.
I snatch up my coat and turn to leave, I am shocked to see Rhydian standing in the doorway, but it is not evident on my face, "Mads, you can't leave, Lucas and Fred could be out there. They could hurt you, take you away or do something to you." He says, there is obvious urgency in his voice but there is no need for it, I can take care of myself.
"You don't know Fred, he would never hurt me." I say trying to reassure him, but he shakes his head his expression stern and unbreakable.
"Yeah, but I know that every offspring of Lucas is cunning and deciteful." He tells me, I think he is refering to Victoria, but I can't be certain and even if he is who is to say that Fred is Lucas' son? And whats there to say he is anything like his father, I mean look at Jana, she is nothing like hers.
"How do you know he is Lucas' son?" I ask frustrated and desperate to get out of the house.
"Er, because your parents said so." He tells me, holding out his hands as if to say I should be trusting them too, I roll my eyes and turn to leave through another door.
"And? My parents have lied before, they could be lying again now." I remind him, he nods and I go to leave again, but he follows me out the door and I groan, "I can look after myself Rhydian, I'm just going to meet up with Shan." I tell him, he nods and takes my hand, I look down at both our hands and quickly look up at his smiling face.
"Yeah, and I'm going back to the flat." He tells me with a wink before pushing me out the door with our hands still linked. As we walk together to the centre of town after I text Shan, Rhydian starts to sniff the air again, looking around us, his hand becomes tighter and his over hand instinctively goes to my other arm. I too start to sniff the air, but I can't smell anything other than Rhydian and although he is right next to me I would be able to smell something else.
"Rhydian." I say softly, looking aroun at our surroundings and holding on to his arm with my free hand. "Rhydian theres nothing there." I add, trying to pull him away and move him a bit more, he's reluctant though, which makes things slightly more difficult.
Then he gives in, lest go of my other arm and continues to walk along with me, every now and again making me laugh or smile or pretend to feel hurt, even though I know he is only joking. As we reach town and Rhydian goes to his own home I start to smell something, that smells odd, its like I recognise it, but it is just too unfamiliar to me right now that I can't think where I know the scent.
Someone else is here, another wolfblood. I think Rhydian knew it too.
Authors Notes: So yes, people say I am a good writer, you wrong people! I cannot write good stories, hence why I have failed so many times at English GCSE's. But thank you anyway.
