Sing Your Way Out
Chapter 8: Night Howls
C j POV:
'Die!' Came the loud shrill howl. I raced as fast as I could. I heard paw steps racing towards me. I turned around, and caught sight of blood red eyes, and bared teeth. 'Die!' It howled into the starless sky. I race through unfamiliar paths. What was this place? I had no idea where I was. These weren't the trees near Tower. 'Die!' Came a snarl from behind. I raced faster, unsure of where to go. I raced into a small clearing, and realized my mistake. This was a dead end. A stone hollow surrounded me, the walls to steep for me to climb. 'Die!' Came the howl from behind. I turned around. In the half light I could barely see the creature. It starred at me, teeth bared in the half light. 'Die!' it howled once more, and leapt. I screamed.
Suki POV:
I was awaken by Cj's screaming. I looked over at her. Of course, a nightmare.
"Cj." I growled.
"CJ!" I hissed, throwing a pillow at her.
"What?" Cj said as she woke up.
"You were having a nightmare." I explained.
"Thanks." She mumbled.
"Want to talk about it? Or want to talk about what happened on you forest run?" I asked curious.
"You want me to tell you?" Cj hissed.
"YES!" I said
"Nothing big, I just kissed Ian, that's all." She said. WHAT? Why wouldn't not tell me?
"WHAT!" I said exited ly.
'Ian kissed me last night, I kissed him tonight." Cj said.
"So, are you together now?" I enquired.
"I have no idea." Cj said.
Cj POV:
"I have no idea." I said softly.
"Well, find out in the morning!" Suki said.
"No." I said.
"Fine." Suki said as he went back to sleep.
The Next Afternoon…
I slowly made my way to the observatory. I had been excused from afternoon classes because I tripped, and hurt my ankle. It really didn't hurt, but Nurse insisted I take the rest of the day off. The reason why I had slightly sprained my ankle, as that the howl from last night haunted every thought I had. So naturally I had no idea where I was going, and ran into Gabe. I was slowly approaching the Observatory, when I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around to see the fain silhouette of Ian racing towards me.
"Hey, need help?" He asked.
"Yea." I said, and he helped me into the observatory.
"What happened last night." Ian said cautiously.
"Nothing of importance." I said
"Okay." Ian said.
"5 minutes to class." Whisper chided.
"I have to go, be careful." Ian said softly, and looked into my eyes. Softly, he pressed his lips to mine. He quickly and quietly slipped into the tunnels below.
