Authors Notes: WOW! Man, I never expected a story which was my first ever, and possibly only, Wolfblood fanfic to get so many reviews. Thank you for all the beautiful, lovely, words you have written about my story.
You Said You'd Find Me, But I Found You
Rhydian
I've planned it all out in my head, I know no other pack will except me, and I did survive as a lone wolf... only just, but I know there is not a chance in hell that any other pack will except me, so I'm a lone wolf once again. I'd been survivng as such before I met Maddy. I know I will again. Even though the thought of being without Maddy again hurts me slightly, and the tug I'm feeling won't go away, why is that? My backpack is packed and I am more than ready to set off. I just need to do one more thing though before I leave. I look around the room, I know where it is, but I just want to remember things before I go.
Walking over to a box on the floor I pull out my sketch pad and flick through all of my sketches. I know I cannot take this with me so its worth looking through it one last time before I go. I hesitate when I go to put it down and swing my backpack over my shoulder and leave.
As I walk down the road I see the party up ahead. I tried to avoid it, but I guess I went the wrong way, and as I'm turning to go the other way, Jana catches me, "Rhydian!" she shouts to get my attention, I groan before turning with a fake smile plastered on my face, "I thought you said you was getting ready? And why do you have a backpack on?" she pieces all of the puzzle together and gasps, "Your leaving? Rhydian you can't... Maddy, she's here!" she tells me, I scoff.
"I'm not part of your pack Jana, I can leave if I need to, and I need to. Maddy doesn't need me here." I tell her with my eyes becoming gold, if she doesn't let me leave I'll wolf out, I know I will.
"Your not part of my pack, I know. But you are a massive part of Maddy's life." She tells me. I hold back my growl. I can't be that part of Maddy's life anymore, not now anyway. I hurt her and neither her friends nor her parents want me anywhere near her, pushing Jana away from me slightly I walk back in the opposite direction, but the tugging feeling gets stronger. "If you go now, you'll hurt her more... think about that." She adds, I stop in my tracks, I hadn't really thought about that, but I can't stay, Maddy's mum made that clear as crystal to me.
"Fine! I'll stay here for ten minutes and wait to see Maddy, if her reaction is to run away then I'm leaving." I tell Jana, taking my heavy backpack off my shoulders and chucking it on the floor sitting beside it. Jana decides to sit next to me and wait with me. The ten minutes I said I'd wait go quickly and Maddy is still a no show. Just as I go to leave, Jana looks behind me in excitment.
"Is that? Maddy?" she asks in disbelief. I take a deep breath before turning round.
I smile to myself. Its not her, its another brunette, but she looks pretty all the same, I turn back to Jana who's frowning to herself, "Its not Maddy, and her ten minutes is up. Goodbye Jana, nice knowing you." I say with a smug smile, though I feel totally disappointed.
"Rhydian, wait. Maybe she's just running late, just give her another ten minutes." Jana begs me, I shake my head and pull her into a quick hug before walking off.
As I walk I smell something familiar, I take a big sniff of the air around me and smile to myself. Its Maddy. I know its Maddy. And I can hear her voice ever so slightly, but there's something not right, she sounds in distress, and like a whisper in my ear I hear her say, "Please, let me go." My blood boils at the sound of her distressed voice pleading someone to let her go, and I'm racing toward where her scent is leading me.
The sight kills me when I find her. Tom, Harry and Shannon are standing a good metre or two away from Maddy and her captor, with fear shining in all their eyes as they watch helplessly, then Harry notices me and smiles, but this makes the captor turn and reveal himself to me, Lucas. "Ah, Rhydian, you finally decided to join your little tame friend and her human friends. Foolish, really. You and Victoria would've made such good wild pack leaders." He snarls with a smug smile as he breathes in Maddy's scent... my blood boils even more as he whispers something quietly in her ear. I can't hear it, but it causes Maddy to cry.
"She's not tame." I simply say, he looks up at me and just laughs, "Also, I would never join your daughter-" I'm cut off however by his sigh and slight laugh.
"You can't now, she's dead. And so will your little tame friend in a minute." He snarls again, he must've found out about Victoria seeking for forgiveness from Maddy. Now his hands have long nails ready to claw at Maddy's neck.
Growling and without thinking I pounce on him. Thankfully he lets go of Maddy and doesn't harm her, I'm helped however by Jana, who's come out of nowhere and helped me tackle Lucas. Our clawing hands slash away at Lucas trying to wanr him off. Tom and Shannon have guided Harry away, whilst Maddy just stands watching in horror.
"Go!" I shout, hoping she'll listen, she shakes her head.
Although she looks miserable her attire makes her look even more beautiful in my eyes. I don't realise I'm staring at her until a hand grabs at my hair and tugs me to look back down at Lucas. "Release me! And I swear I shall leave you and your friends alone. My pack will not be able to survive without a leader." He tells me, he seems slightly out of breath with his veins turning black and his eyes glowing. I sense his sincerity in his eyes and words, so I slowly release my grip.
Though I keep an eye on him, and I can tell neither Jana nor Maddy are happy with my decision, "I'm not going to kill him, I can't." I tell them, turning to Maddy and pushing her away from the scene. Jana follows afterwards, but goes in a different direction. I take Maddy's hand and lead her towards the party. I stop beside a tree an turn to her with a heavy sigh.
"I've missed you." We both blurt out at the same time, but there is something else on my mind too...
"Do you still love me?" I ask, being brave and bold, I know what I want to hear, but I hope she doesn't say no. She takes a long pause, I'm desperate for her to answer, but the silence is too much, so I continue, "Because if you... don't, then I understand... and I'll go, and never bother you again. I just need to know." I tell her, hoping she won't say no.
But she just looks at me, I can't read what her eyes are trying to say to me. I let go of her hand and turn to go, believing she's going to say no.
Authors Notes: Uh oh. I'm going to get so much hate for leaving it like that.
