Not Without A Fight
Rhydian
I shouldn't have left, I should've waited with her until Shan came, just so I'd know she would be safe. Even thinking about it now I want to go back. I'll try texting her just to see if she is alright. But if I do she'll snap, have a go at me, say I'm too clingy or overprotective. I am though, aren't I? I'm overprotective over her because I don't want to lose her, not again, not after five years of being miserable, stuck with an annoying girl yapping in my ear, secretly planning something with her deluded father. Ok so I won't be stuck with another crazy girl again, I can't handle another stressful experience like the last one. So yeah, I'm overprotective of her. So why am I still sitting here? This is driving me insane! Just sitting here thinking about anything I can, when I should be checking on my girlfriend to make sure she is safe.
Thats it I'm gone.
And as I snatch my keys and coat up off the table there is a knock at the door. Great. I put my keys in my pocket and put the coat back down on the table. Whoever it is better have a good reason for being here. I quickly walk over to the door and swiftly open the door, "What do you-" I am about to say 'what' but when I look up and see who it is I stop seeing their angry faces, "Um, hello." I say. Awkward.
"Hello Rhydian, is Maddy in?" Emma asks pushing past me, Dan does the same but with an expression that says 'she dragged me into this, it was not my idea'. I smiled quickly remembering his comment about living with two alpha females. Emma started searching round the flat. Though its pointless, she of all people should know Maddy never comes to my flat. "Right, where is she?" she asks.
"Uh, with Shannon in town." I say awkwardly and maybe a bit too fast, but Emma's obviously understood as her head whips up and she stares horrified at me, her eyes darting between me and Dan who stands looking just as horrified on the other side of the room.
"Well why didn't you stop her?" Emma asks in a worried shout, right in my face. Dan seems just as worried but at least he isn't blaming this on me.
"Well I couldn't exactly stop her when she was angry enough as it was with me thinking this 'Fred' guy was going to do something!" I shout back. Woah, I never expected to sound that confident in what I was saying, even Emma seems to have shut up long enough for Dan to say something, unless she's thinking of a comeback, either way, I can't let this moment go by without saying something else, "Look, Maddy is a grown wolf now, if she were in trouble she would, howl, scream or fight back, she doesn't need us worrying about every step she takes." I add, and wow does it feel good.
"He's got a point, Em." Dan says. Well thank God I have one other person backing me up on this. But Emma's glare that shots straight back at him is intense and more than just angry. Please Dan, don't back down on me now. "Look, when she comes home we'll sit her down and talk to her, stop worrying, Em." He tells her in a calm voice. But Emma shakes her head.
"She is my daughter! I'll worry about her however much I want! Because she is my cub!" she snaps at Dan. So this is what its like to be in the middle of a 'Smith fight'?
"Yeah, and she's my daughter too, Em. And as much as I am worried about her safety, I believe she can look after herself. You know as well as I do that she's not a cub anymore. She proved that in the wild." Dan says wrapping his arms around Emma who is crying in worry.
But thanks to wolfblood hearing I hear a howl and I'm pretty sure Emma and Dan both heard it too. The howl belongs to Maddy and once heard all three of our heads snap up and look at one another in alarm, "Maddy." We all gasp and all of us rush out of my flat. I pick up my coat before leaving. I should've stayed with her, I should've waited, what kind of a boyfriend am I? I thik to myself as I run down the stairs followed by Dan and Emma – since they're older they won't be as fast.
We reach the area I left Maddy in record time, but there is nothing. Nothing but Maddy's necklace and a wolfblood trail leading me to them and hopefully her.
Authors Notes: So yes, it is short. I apologise. But its better than just one chapter. And since it has been requested I shall be doing a battle, but first I need to think of how Maddy will wake up in the next chapter, I know how the chapter will go, but I don't know how Maddy will wake up. Any suggestions?
