Chapter 2
I'm back! I know, this took really long, but I've been busy okay? First I needed to celebrate my b-day with my family, the week after I needed to celebrate with my friend(Halloween!) and now I'm in my midterms. Sort of. It's a week full of tests, so it looks like midterms I suppose? School has been kicking my ass lately and like I said, I'm in my midterms but I needed to post this chapter, so I wrote the last bit and here it is. My updates won't be on a regular basis, I'm sorry. If you have time, check out my other story: Not another day of highschool. Now let's continue the story!
I wake up feeling like shit. My muscles are sore, my neck bruised and the wound in my shoulder burns. I look around me to see I'm not sleeping in the woods like I normally do, but I'm sleeping in a room. The room is white with a black accents, for example the couch. There's no one in the room except for me. Then I remember the things that happened yesterday. Shit, shit. Where am I? I need to get away. No shit Sherlock! My wolf is really helpful again. I push the blankets off of me. And I see I'm not wearing my clothes. I'm wearing a shirt, most likely a man's. The shirt reaches just above mid-thigh. I can't escape in this. I walk to the closet. All man's clothes. I smell the shirt I'm wearing…. It had to be the shirt from the alpha?! I smell the clothes in the closet. I groan. I'm in the alpha's room. What did Simon call him? Simon yelled at him after he saw him chocking me. Drew? Drake? Darren? Something with a D.. I will call him D for now. I don't need to find out what D wants from me, I need to get away. I walk to the door of the room, feeling the door knob. It isn't locked. I listen carefully. I hear soft footsteps coming my way, a women's. I almost do my happy dance. When she is in front of my door, I open the door and jump her. Knocking her out before she is able to scream or anything. I look to my left and my right, but no one saw. I drag the girl into the room. I take her clothing and put it on. A little too big, but this will do. I put the shirt I was wearing on her. Then I remember. My phone! I really need my phone, there are a lot of important contacts in there, people who help me out. I need to get my phone. I look around the room and I see my phone, on the closet. Are you kidding me?! I'm just 5' okay I can't reach that. So I grab a chair and grab my phone. And of course my battery died. Awesome… I listen carefully before I walk out the door. I look to my left and I see a door that leads outside. It can't be this easy right? I walk through the hallway and then I hear it, voices. Of course close to the door, I would need to run past them and they would see me, I just need to outrun them. I listen in on their conversation.
"So Brady what did you find about the girl?" my stomach twists, it was D talking. I took a quick look and I saw D, Simon, a girl with spiky black hair, a man who looks a lot like Simon, only older and his hair is silver instead of Simon's blond hair and last but not least another guy with brown hair.
"Where talking about Chloe Saunders," the guy, Brady, said. "She is sixteen and the daughter of Steve Saunders, the leader of the north pack. She has been missing for a year now and her father has a reward for the one who brings her back home," okay now I really need to get away from here or they will bring me back to my dad and no way in hell I'm going back.
"That's why she crossed our land, because she wanted to get home?" the black haired girl says.
"I don't think so Tori, I heard the Saunders story. And I did some research, she gets away every time someone tries to get her back to her dad. She don't want to get back," the older man has his fact right.
"Why wouldn't she go back to her pack, back to her friends, family etc.?" Simon adds to the conversation.
"That's something we should ask her," D adds. Shit, they were going to my room, quickly I run for the door. I open it and I just run. Behind me I hear multiple people follow me. I run as fast as I can, I just need to get to Micah's territory. But I know it is far away and my muscles are sore. I feel myself running slower every second. Then I get tackled. I'm on my stomach with someone on top of me.
"Shit," I lay my head on the grass closing my eyes, I was really tired.
"Listen Chloe, your body isn't totally healed yet. We made a shaman heal the internal damage, but your shoulder and neck aren't healed yet. And because your healed, you won't be able to function like a proper werewolf for a week. You won't have your werewolf warmth nor your ability to heal fast nor your werewolf strength. Do you get it now? You can't escape," he whispers in my ear. I lay my head on the grass and breath softly, closing my eyes, too tired to keep them open. D is right, I don't have my strength and I'm still not totally healed. I'm doomed.
"Okay," I mutter, almost asleep now. I feel D get off of me. And I try to get up, but my arms buckle under me and I fall back on the ground.
"You're to clumsy," he says to me. I mumble. I feel him pulling me in his arms and him tilting me from the cold ground just before I pass out.
I wake up, still feeling horrible, but a little bit better. I feel someone lying beside me, arms around me. My hands are on the guys chest. I probably had a nightmare last night and went to sleep in Thomas' bed. I remember all the times I went to him when I was scared. He said he would always protect me. And he always did, until he died. And then it comes back to me, I'm not in Thomas bed. I try to remember and them I remember running away from D. Him tackling me. And him carrying me… I open my eyes in shock and was met with a guys chest. I look up and I look straight into his emerald green orbs. I scream and in my attempt to get away from him I fall off the bed. I crawl away from him. His eyes are shocked.
"He, shh, calm down," he says holding his hands up in 'I surrender' gesture. I can picture what I look like; a small blond girl with huge blue scared eyes. He gets off the bed slowly and I stand up fast. He steps closer, when he's just a arm length away I bring my foot up and I kick him in the guts. He groans holding his throat. I backhand him. And start for the door, but he grabs my arm pulling me back. He lets go of me and I fly through the room against a wall. Screaming when I hit the wall. I land on the floor on hands and knees. My back hurts like hell and my shoulder is dying. I fall flat on my face. "Chloe!" He runs towards me. He turns me so I lie on my back. But my back hurts because he threw me against a wall, so I groan a lot. I look at D. "You're okay?" I nod. "Thank god,"
"What's going on here?" I look to the door, I see a girl with brown hair, I know too damn well. She looks at me. "Chloe?"
"Linda?" She runs towards me, pushing D aside. And hugging me close. "I thought you were dead, where are Liz and Thomas?"
"Oh my god, we missed you so much, um Thomas is on patrol and Liz is taking care of the kids around here! They need to see you!" She pulls me up, but my knees are still weak, so I fall down again, into D's arms…
"Maybe they can come here, Chloe has a lot of wounds," she takes a deep breath.
"She is the girl that took down Liam and Ramon and saved Simon?" D nods. "You always get yourself in trouble, don't you?" I shrug, instantly regretting it as my shoulder starts complaining. Linda turns her attention to D. "Can Thomas get back from patrol? Please Derek, he needs to see her!" That was his name! Derek!
"Sure, I'm going to get him," Derek walks off while muttering under his breath. "Get her on the bed," Linda listens instantly and puts me on the bed.
"I'm going to get Liz, she will be so happy!" She runs off. And I hear her footsteps get farther away from me. I listen to the sounds in the building and I hear Derek coming back into the building, waiting close to the door. I hear someone else enter the building.
"So why did I need to come back all of a sudden?" It is Thomas, I can't even believe it. My brother, his mate and her sister are still alive. All the people I love are still alive!
"I have a little surprise for you, that's all," I hear Derek say to my brother. I hear Thomas snort.
"And what exactly may that be? Another joke?"
"No jokes, you will definitely like this surprise," I hear Derek opening the door. I look up, which is not really easy because the king-size bed feels awesome and I don't want to get out, but I needed to see him. He sees me and looks a little confused.
"Who's this Derek?" Derek looks a little startled and wants to answer the question, but I beat him to it.
"Forgot me already Tommy?" I only said Tommy when I was sad or scared, so by just saying my nickname for him, he knew it was really me.
"Chloe?" He runs towards me, turning my head to all sides as if to make sure it is really me.
"I missed you t-," Thomas cuts me off by hugging me close.
"The gang is back together, this couldn't be better!" I hear Linda shout from the other side of the room before running to us to make it a group hug. Liz comes running right after and joins the hug.
"How did you know Chloe is my sister?" Thomas asks Derek.
"Linda came in and saw her and asked me to get you, so," he answers.
"Yeah, I ran in here right after…" everybody looks at her questionably.
"Right after what babe?" my brother asks his mate.
"Right after I heard Chloe scream," everybody looks at me. "Twice," I turn crimson.
"Chloe why did you scream? Screaming isn't really… you know… you," Liz says.
"Well I'm sorry, but I get startled when I wake up with a man lying next to me!" I say to her.
"Wait? What?!" Now Thomas is pissed. He has always been the protective big brother, so he wasn't amused about this. "Who?" I point at Derek and Derek holds his hands up.
"She is healed by a shaman, so she isn't really a werewolf right now, accept for the senses. She was cold and shivering in her sleep, so I thought: let warm her up," Thomas gives Derek a death glare.
"That doesn't explain why you screamed twice though," shit, now I need to explain why I screamed twice. While the second time was because I was thrown against the freaking wall. I feel a smirk coming up. Derek was going to pay.
"He can explain that one," I point to Derek. He looks at me, his eyes wide with shock. He knows Thomas and his protective side. I just give him my best smirk.
"Well, um, she, um," I was funny to see Derek struggle with his words.
"Just spit it out," Linda says.
"She tried to run away and I tried to stop her, so I grabbed her wrist and yanked her back but then I realized I used to much power so I let go and then she collided with the wall?" He says looking as innocent as possible.
"YOU DID WHAT?" Linda, Liz and Thomas scream in unison. I smirk. Derek is so dead.
And what do you think? Do you want me to continue? Review to let me know!
