Hi all so I scrapped chapter six and I've decided on a new chapter 6 and a new direction as I weren't a hundred percent on the last one so here's the rewrite of what actually happens next …
Maya
We all obeyed Chloe as we gathered around the sofa. Derek was shifting, maybe even in to a real wolf.
We waited for them to walk back but it took awhile.
"Look." Hayley pointed. We all jumped to are as looked out the window. There in the distance was light haired wolf. They were too far back to see there faces but they were walking up.
"That's not Derek." Simon stated.
"It must be." Tori looked confused.
"No Derek wouldn't have light fur." Simon argued.
"If that's not Derek, then who the hell is it?" Sam panicked.
That's when I looked properly. My breath caught in my throat.
"Maya...that's Rafe and Annie." Daniel looked shocked.
I bolted for the door and looked over to Rafe he paused and then quickened his half limp half jog.
Annine greeted me first as she nuzzled me nearly knocking me over. When Rafe caught up with me I chucked my arms over his neck and buried my face into his shoulder.
"I thought you were dead!" I managed to get out.
"No. And I'm here now."He hugged me tighter.
"Are you ok?" Looked up at him he and a lot of scrapes on his face but they had already sealed up.
"I'm absolutely fine. Us cats we always land on our feet." He tried to make me laugh. All I felt was relief. Just relief I'm glad he's still alive. But that's all that was there when he leaned down to kiss me it didint feel right. I kissed him back anyway.
"Who's the wolf?" He asked
"Oh that's Derek, there's more of them." I prompted as I took his hand and led him to the house.
"Annie stay close to the house." I suggested.
"Daniel." Rafe gestured.
"It's good to see you." Daniel responded back but there was this unmistakable tension in the air.
When we sat down we introduced him to the others.
"How the hell did you survive that, you fell out of a plane?" Corey was bewildered
"My landing was more softer then you think. A few bones snapped and popped out but Annie found me and helped me pop them back." Rafe shrugged.
"That's amazing." Kit smiled
"Can Maya do the same? Snap her bones back into place?" Nicole questioned with a cynical look.
"Yes. Where skin crawlers but we snap and break our bones every time we change our gift is too survive that." Rafe explained.
"Did it hurt?" Tori asked stupidly as we all looked at her.
"Yep. And he cried." Annie came bounding round the corner fully dressed as she sat next to me.
"So what's the plans?"Rafe asked changing the subject.
"We're staying here. Keep our heads down." Daniel answered.
"Is it safe?" Rafe had a doubtful look.
"Yes." Kit nodded.
Rafe placed a hand soothingly on my leg then leaned in and kissed me gently on the cheek. I saw out of the corner of my eye Daniel flinched then glared at Sam as she shook her head at him.
What was that all about? I thought to myself.
"Rafe your have to sleep down here with Annie as we've ran out of beds." Kit arranged.
"I thought we weren't allowed to mix gender." Corey reminded.
"There siblings." Kit reminded Corey.
We did stay up late and to be honest it was a good night we talked a lot got to know each other more and when Kit went to bed before us the conversations went better we actually had a laugh. I felt like a teenager again. Ever since Rafe retuned Nicole lightened up to her usual self as she sat next to Daniel and joke around with him. Simon moved his arm around Chloe as she relaxed and leaned Against him, that's when I caught Derek's face. Not that he is ever happy but when Simon made the move Derek glared at his brother as if he wanted to rip his arm off. He caught my glance and dropped his frown as I looked away.
"It's late we should probably start going to bed."Hayley suggested.
Hayley and Nicole where the first ones up.
Rafe insisted to walk me to my room. "It's a good thing you found these lot." Rafe smiled.
"Yeah their good people."I agreed.
A floor broad creaked as I looked up I saw Daniel standing in front of his door just looking up.
"Your sleeping downstairs remember." Daniel reminded him as his tone was Icy.
"Yes I know thank you Daniel." Rafe snapped sarcastically.
The tension was unbearable both me and Rafe and no idea why he was acting liks this.
Rafe kissed my forehead and then left as Daniel waited until Rafe was halfway down the hall.
I closed the door.
"What was that all about." I turned to Nicole she was just standing there.
"My guess is that he didn't want Rafe in bed with you."Nicole frowned.
"But why?" I looked doubtful.
"I'm guessing because he doesn't want him to try anything with you."Nicole's voice turned cold.
"Try anything? Why would Daniel care?"
Nicole got really impatient then as she looked up at me completely annoyed.
"I don't have to explain when its so obvious." Nicole turned her back to me and then pulled the duvet over her head.
That night I tried to sleep but all I had running through my head was
My parents. What was they thinking? Where are they now? Are they safe?
I could hear someone moving around downstairs. My guess was Derek he always struggles to sleep.I heard a second set maybe that's Chloe but its when I heard a third set I sat up. I got to my feet to see Nicole missing from her bed. It was 3:17 in the morning. Why would she be up?
I poke my head around the door expecting to hear there voices but it was dead silent. So I crept on my tip toes up to The boys door as I pushed it open I saw all four of them there. I checked up Hayley and Sam they were still there. I began to creep back to my room until I heard.
"Chloe?" Derek called.
"Sorry it's me Maya." I whispered.
"Oh. Everything ok?" He whispered back.
"I thought I heard something."I explained. I heard shuffling as he got up and walked out the door in a T-shirt and jogging bottoms as he closed the door.
"What did..." Derek stopped himself as he went rigid all the sudden nose flared.
"Shit!" He really cursed.
"What?" I looked up.
Something crashed and then footsteps ran up the stairs. Fast and heavy but it was too dark to see.
Derek shoved me back into his dorm I tripped and hit the lights flashed on
"Hello again mutt." A strangers voice sneered
"Maya are you ok?" Daniels voice asked confused.
"What's going on?" Corey asked bewildered as he climbed out of bed
"Bro?" Simon called out to Derek.
We all got up and out into the hallway four boys and one very strange looking girl stood at the end of the hallway glaring down at us.
"Who the hell is that?" Corey spluttered.
"Liam and Ramon." Derek growled.
I noticed Derek's eyes went to Chloe's door and back to Liam looking scared as if he was about to go in there.
"Did you think I wouldn't find you pup?" The taller one with a slight limp laughed.
When Derek didn't answer he continued.
"Now we got out of the pack so there's no pressure for me to take you back to them. Instead I'm looking for the cutie who did this."He sneered pointing to his leg.
We all stared in complete shock
"You know the cute little blonde you had with you with the big blue eyes? " He pressed.
Derek growled loudly.
"Ramon search those doors." The girl snapped impatiently.
"Whatever you say Lara." Ramon rolled his eyes as he kicked open Hayley's door. The other guys helped.
"Bring me the pretty brunette, she's definitely not human." The same guy gazed down at me as a shiver went down my spine
Daniel stepped out in front of me all the sudden. But the guy that limped strode around him as none of them moved. He grabbed my hair and I tried to fight but he was so strong. I tried to push him as he grabbed my top from the front. He then back handed me as anger flooded me. My hand flew up and caught him on the chin but he recovered to quick and punched me in the throat. I struggled to catch my breath I nearly hit the floor when he grabbed my hair again forcing me up. "Feisty little brat." He spat in my face.
I looked at the boys but they were all frozen. Just frozen Daniels expression was livid still but in mid sentence. There must be a witch here...the girl.
"Riley take her I need to find his mate." As he flung me at him.
I caught there scents they smelt just like Derek but worse.
That's when Liam kicked in the Chloe's door and stormed in...
