Authors Notes: I might write a oneshot sequel, but I'm not promising nothing.
Not Without A Fight
Maddy
I sat by the window and stayed there for the rest of the day when we returned home, I was inside looking out at the pouring rain, my mood as miserable as the weather. I'd almost gotten Shannon, my best friend in the whole world, killed, and all because I hadn't listened to my parents and boyfriend. Rhydians watching me now with a frown on his face. I know he's watching me, I can see his reflection in the window, I slowly turn my head to look at him, my eyes radiating sadness, "I'm sorry." I say, my voice barely loud enough for him to hear, but of course he does, nods and sits down brushing a hand through his short blonde locks. "I didn't know." I say, again its barely audible, but thankfully – or not so much – its heard, and he scoffs in response.
"Your mum and dad told you. I told you. And you didn't know?" he remarks. I lower my head. I made a mistake to doubt them, I understand, he doesn't have to rub it in. As I look at my hands and fiddle with a piece of red string I pulled from my jumper I feel his hands over mine and my head snaps up, "But its alright now, ok? He won't come back." He tries to reassure me, but I can hint the slight doubt behind his words.
I shake my head, "You don't know that for sure, Rhydian." I tell him, looking from his face to the window again, "I just wish we had a normal life, and were all normal people." I tell him.
I look at his expression in the window again, he shakes his head and smiles down at his knees, "You know, there was once a time, when a beautiful, wise, funny, very short girl told me by the river, that everything I had once thought made me a freak, was completely normal for a wolfblood." He teases, though it brings a smile to my face, I kick him slightly in the side of his leg.
But my expression falls again, "But you know thats not what I mean, Rhydian." I tell him as he rubs his leg. He opens his arms wide for me and I crawl over to him and let him wrap his arms around my waist. He kisses the top of my head as I look out of the window.
"Yeah, but who wants to be normal?" he asks. I look up at him to see him smiling down at me.
As my mam walks in Rhydian stands up and leaves. I look out the window again. I'm ready for the conversation me mam wants. "Pet?" I hear her voice close by and she sits beside me. I turn to face her, I know I have tears in my eyes, and she knows why. "Pet, its over now, nothings going to happen, and even if anything did-" I cut her off, knowing exactly where this was going.
"Mam, don't. I know." I told her looking out of the window again. Then I noticed something... or someone, "Lucas?" I say in disbelief hoping my eyes are decieving me, mam too begins to look out of the window and she growls in response to seeing him. She saw him then – to my dismay.
"What on earth is he doing in our territory?" she snarls moving out of the room as quick as a flash and is racing down the stairs. I groan to myself as I follow after her. I race out of the front door in attempt to keep up with her, Rydian isn't far behind but where's dad? "What are you doing on my families territory!" She snaps at the other man. I look over at Rhydian, his eyes are gold and he too is growling at Lucas. But he isn't threatened, instead he just stares at me with sickly yellow eyes.
"Hello girlie." He hisses, I shiver, but glare back at him, he walks around all three of us glaring at each one of us, "Your happy little life, your happy secure homes, your happy secure tame life will all be destroyed, when I reveal your secret, your happy lives, ruined! And you'll forever be on the run! You'll forever be hiding! And you'll all have to adjust to a new life. But you!" he shouts looking directly at me, pointing a long dirty finger at me, "You shall die, for what you did to my son! My only son! You filthy tame!" he screams running towards me.
Rhydian looks at me then back at Lucas, with anger and determination in his eyes he runs towards me too. What is he doing? "Rhydian?" I ask in confusion as he runs closer. As he collides with Lucas I scream, both of them almost hitting me, then I see Lucas' dagger, "Rhydian!" I shout.
He doesn't hear... or he doesn't listen. The dagger in Lucas' hand is so close to Rhydians chest. Lucas has the upper hand as he is on top and Rhydian is strugglin below. Luckily mam tackles Lucas off.
"Stay away from me daughter! You deluded piece of work! You leave our territory! Now!" mam snaps, but his words linger on my mind, would he really reveal the secret? Its his secret too? Would he really risk it? I look at Lucas as he walks away glaring at me. He's serious, and he doesn't care about the risks it will impact on his pack.
Rhydian approaches me from behind, I look up, he see's it too.
Lucas won't rest until he has won.
Authors Notes: The start was terrible, but I think it got dramatic towards the end? Did it? Your the critics, tell me.
