Authors Notes: Yes, nobody is supposed to like Victoria, she is meant to be one of the bad guys in this story of mine – I have two. But hey at least I've got people hating on Vicky now. Sorry to my cousin.
You Said You'd Find Me, But I Found You
Maddy
I can hear his footsteps behind me, but I don't know how far he is, curse this stupid wolf hearing. I just want to get as far away from him as possible, maybe even leave Stoneybridge... no, I came here mainly because I was sick of running away – but thats what I'm doing now isn't it? Running away – and because I wanted to see my best friends. Yet he, the one boy who I thought I could trust, thought would understand me and I would understand him, he won't allow me to move on like he did... and yet, he'd done it so quickly... how come I hadn't managed to do so, everytime I even spoke to another boy I thought of Rhydian.
And even now, I can't get him out of my head, and its giving me a headache.
Oh, for goodness sakes! Let him bloody catch me! I don't care! I want an explanation, I want to know how he moved on so quickly, and why he is so determined to keep hurting me... maybe once I've listened to his reasonings I can move on, he'll leave me alone.
He catches up after a minute or two, "Maddy, please." He begs me, just hearing him say my name like that sets me off and I begin to cry, he extends his arms and I move back.
"Why?" I ask, he looks up properly at me, he knows he isn't off the hook.
Rhydian
I can hear her crying and her footsteps, darn wolf hearing, I don't know if I'm close to her, all I'm doing is following the scent, hoping none of the others follow me like that bloody Victoria. Who does she think she is just kissing me like that, I am not her mate, nor do I have anything to do with her, or want anything to do with her, except get away from her. She's crazy. She knows how I feel about Maddy and yet what does she do, kisses me hard on the mouth in front of the woman I love. Maddy.
And now she is running away from me and all I can do is hope she hasn't bumped into Emma and Dan. They'd kill me if they found out that I'd hurt her in any way.
Thankfully, I see Maddy has stopped, as I slow down slightly so I can catch my breath I notice she isn't running off anymore, maybe she's giving me a chance, or maybe she is tricking me, or... who cares, she's waiting for me to say something.
"Maddy, please." I beg, but as I say it she starts to cry, I walk over to her extending my arms hoping she wouldn't push me away or back away and just allow me to hold her, I just want to make all her pain go away, all the pain that I have caused, I want it to go away so I can be with her and prove to her I love her. But she takes a step back.
"Why?" she asks, I know instantly that this isn't over yet, and her pain is still there.
Maddy
He looks at me with his blue eyes, I want him to look away whilst he tells me his story, but then he'll know that its his eyes that are my biggest weakness. I just look at the ground and try my best not to seem too innocent. Then as he still doesn't reply I feel the wolf coming out. Noticing this he begins to panic... or worry, or just become concerned that someone might see. Truth is, I've been living wild for so long I don't give a damn, and these ridiculous heels are killing me, thats easy to deal with I take them off and keep them in my hands ready to use as weapons or something.
"Maddy, I don't know what you want me to say... there's nothing going on between me and Victoria, there hasn't ever been, I don't want her... or need her, I need you and right now you need to calm-" I cut him off.
"Don't you dare tell me to calm down Rhydian!" I shout chucking one shoe at him, it flies, just missing his head.
"Please Maddy, I love you and only you." He tells me, I feel my heart begin to beat like it had before I left him that year that Dr. Whitewood had discovered our secret, its beating normally, but it still hurts.
"Then why didn't you look for me? Why did you move in with her? Why did you forget your promise to me?" I ask as the tears stream down my face, my bare feet are getting cold and I know for a fact that soon the wolf is going to come out completely, right now its only my veins and eyes that have changed, soon it'll be me.
"Because I didn't know where you were Maddy, I didn't know what to do, I didn't move in with her she moved into my flat, because she had nowhere else to go, and I didn't forget my promise to you just like I didn't forget you. Please, I need you to understand... I know how I've hurt you... and I never meant to... I never wanted to..." he tells me, I can see the tears in his eyes even though it is pitch black out here, and I can hear his voice break through the middle of the speach.
But then when I sniff the air I smell another person in our presence.
Rhydian
I look at her, I look deep into her brown eyes and I can sense that I need to answer quick as the wolf begins to come out. I begin to worry, I haven't really dealt with Maddy properly when she was in wolf form, actually I've usually been in wolf form when she is, but now she's transforming and I haven't explained myself... maybe thats why she's changing, because I havent answered her. But I don't know what to say. Improvise? "Maddy, I don't know what you want me to say... there's nothing going on between me and Victoria, there hasn't ever been, I don't want her... or need her, I need you and right now you need to calm-" I begin, its true of course every word, I can't lie to her when she is like this.
But she interupts me, "Don't you dare tell me to calm down Rhydian!" she shouts at me launching one of her heels at me, thankfully it just misses my head. Thankfully.
"Please Maddy, I love you and only you." I tell her finally, it feels good, but I see something in her eyes telling me that its not enough, she wants to know more. I'm fine with that at least she can hear my side to all of this and maybe, hopefully we can work it out together. All she knows is what Shannon thinks is true.
"Then why didn't you look for me? Why did you move in with her? Why did you forget your promise to me?" she asks and the tears are streaming down her face. Thankfully for me the entire wolf hasn't yet come out, its only her veins and eyes that have changed.
I blurt out the full truth quicker than I can run, "Because I didn't know where you were Maddy, I didn't know what to do, I didn't move in with her she moved into my flat, because she had nowhere else to gog and I didn't forget my promise to you just like I didn't forget you." And thats the truth, but I need more to say to her, "Please, I need you to understand... I know how I've hurt you... and I never meant to... I never wanted to..." I add, there are tears in my eyes that I hope she doesn't see, but I know how the slight break in my voice during my speach was obvious.
But then there is something different in the air, there is someone else here. I look round my eyes blazing as the wolf begins to come out.
Then she steps out clapping her hands like we just gave the best performance she has ever seen, and smiles at me... "That was such a beautiful speach baby. Wish you would say more stuff like that to me." Victoria says winking at Maddy.
Maddy
When she spoke those words my heart broke, everything he said I had believed... and now I don't know what to do. When in the wild I was told to believe only myself. Which means I don't know whether or not I can trust Rhydian, or whether I should trust Victoria.
My heart is telling me Rydian.
My head is just too confused.
Authors Notes: NO! Maddy trust in your heart! Listen to your heart! Tell me what you think.
