Authors Notes: So I tried update asap, but things went slowly in my life.
You Said You'd Find Me, But I Found You.
Rhydian
How did I meet Victoria again? Wasn't it like months after Maddy had left? Oh yeah, thats right...
I was miserable, as usual, another boring, dull, normal school day without Maddy. She made the days go so much quicker, but she's gone off to the wild, and who knows when I'll see her again... but then theres a smell, and I'm sure its her which is the problem, I get so hyped up so sure its going to be her, and when I find the source of the scent I find its anoter wolfblood, not her.
But still I'm following the scent. Shannon and Tom are giving me looks, and I know that they look at each with the same look everytime.
I speed up, if its Maddy I'm determined to see her, but when I open the doors to where I know the smell is coming from I am massively disappointed to find yet again, another wolfblood – not her. She looks at me, sniffs the air slightly then gains a smirk and shouts in my face, "Your like me!"
I'm confused.
"Sorry, what do you mean?" I ask acting like I have no idea, I have a little clue to what she means, but I'm not entirely sure, and I want her to sound crazy – its evil, but so is life. She rolls her eyes sniffing me again, I'm getting really uncomfortable with her now, with the closeness, with how much excitment I can see in her eyes, then she touches my face, I instantly back away holding my hands out to keep her away, "What do you think your doing?" I ask in shock and horror.
"Touching your face, duh!" she says like I'm stupid and I don't know what she just did.
"Yeah, I know that! But why? You don't even know me, I don't know you." I tell her, she seems confused by this. She has this innocence in her eyes which looks a little like Jana.
"I thought that was the thing wolfbloods like us do." She says in confusion, I place a finger in front of my lips hushing her, crazy bitch, if people found out about us then we'd be just like Maddy and her family, and thinking of Maddy again causes me to zone out and think of the dreams I've been having.
We're running, me and her, alone, in the wild, not a care in the world. And then finally we stop. I take both her hands in mine and rub them with my thumb. She tells me she loves me, and I tell her I love her, then she looks at me seriously, I see tears in her eyes, the scenery changes and we are back where we were when I lost her. "Promise, you'll never forget me, you'll never leave me, and you'll never love another." She begs as tears fall from her beautiful brown eyes, I whisper in her ear "I promise." Before she disappears and I'm on my own waiting for her in school.
"Rhydian!" someone shouts in front of me. Shannon, snapping her fingers in my face.
"What, sorry, what?" I say recovering from the memory. Shannon rolls her eyes and scoffs pointing to the girl who is fighting Tom for his ham sandwhich.
"Whose your new friend?" she asks sarcastically, the tone Maddy hated the most when Shan gave it.
I shrug my shoulders, the girl growls at Shannon before answering the question, "My name is Victoria, and I don't answer to humans like you!" she snarled, I hold back my laughter, shes not only a crazy bitch, but she a stupid bitch.
"Uh, you just did." Tom tells her taking a bite of his sandwhich. 'Victoria' knocked the sandwhich out of his hands and ate it on the floor, she looked like a tramp... like I had, "I was going to eat that." Tom tells her sligtly pissed off. She reminds me of Katrina, blonde hair, all big and poofy, loud mouthed and very outgoing.
Throughout the years we taught her how to live life amongst the humans, but soon I noticed that she had begun to take a liking to me, constantly rubbing my arm whenever she got the chance, and then finally when school was over and I could move into my own home, and go out to find Maddy, she'd decided it would be great if we lived together. Shan had cornered me when Victoria had asked that. "If you live with that mad woman, and forget about Maddy, I will never forgive you." She snarled, I winced slightly.
And Shan kept her word, because she believe's I have forgotten Maddy. The problem is though, that whenever I try to leave without her she just needs to know where I am going and how long I am going to be out for.
She's way too possessive, and clingy.
Its been too long now, five years to be exact since I last saw Maddy. I'm desperate, whenever I walk past Shannon and Tom in the streets they give me looks, like I haven't even tried.
I have tried, I swear I've tried.
Then there's the awkward day when I'm in the shops at the same time as them, they still give me the looks, even as they walk out of the shop. But I can smell something in the air, its familiar, a good familiar, I hear one of them, Tom, or Shannon say something "Is it really her?"
I know instantly who they are talking about, I'm rushing, I'm panicking, I almost leave the shop without paying for my goods, thats is until the shop keeper coughs to make sure I don't leave. I quickly put all my stuff away, apologising for wasting the shop keepers time then make my way outside, I'm too eager to see her again, in fact I'm desperate.
She's here.
But she's different, she has much longer hair than usual, and she's become a mature woman. She's too busy hugging Shannon too notice me at the moment. Then she see's.
I have to say something, anyting, just start a conversation, she's here you idiot just say someting, "Hello Maddy." I say, I know my voice sounds different to her, but she looks different, and I haven't changed much... well not in my opinion, and I know my conversation isn't great.
"Hello Rhydian." She replies, hearing her say my name sends chills up my spine, oh how I missed that voice. She lets go of Shan, but as she does Shannon glares at me, I know what she's thinking, 'you idiot.' And she's right, I'm going to hurt Maddy really bad if I tell her about Victoria, because knowing Maddy, she'll get the wrong idea.
And then Mads is angry at me, I know why. "You said you'd find me... but I found you... did you even bother to look for me?" she asks, she sounds bitter, its not like her at all, but I understand it, I made a promise, I broke that promise... but I tried. And I tell her this, but she only picks up on the word 'she'
"She? Who is she?" I can see hope in her eyes, but I'm not going to be giving her the right news.
I explain to her about Victoria, about how I met her, but every time I say her name, Maddy gets upset and looks away like I've hurt her really bad, I can see Shannon looking at me evilly in the corner of my eye, she's shaking her head as she watches Maddy's reaction to Victoria.
And as Maddy pushes past me I can tell she's crying, I hesitate before trying to call her back, "Maddy! Maddy wait! I'm sorry! Maddy!" But I've hurt her, and I know I've hurt her, because I hurt myself, by hurting her.
I want to wolf out, but I know that won't help, I see my future running away from me as I see her running as fast as she can away from me. I cover my head with my hands and growl at the ground, why did Victoria enter my life, if Victoria hadn't entered my life I would've been able to find Maddy, and I wouldn't have lost my future along with her... because my future, is her.
Authors Notes: Does it make sense? It sort of overlaps and I will be doing that throughout the story, sorry, I guess you'll have to wait a while to find out what Maddy does next. Please tell me what you think, is Victoria a bitch? The term 'bitch' is used ironically here, sorry.
