Chloe and Matt had been walking through the forest in silence for over an hour. She took this time for the events of the day to sink in, thinking of everything on repeat, an endless cycle that tortured her mind with unanswered questions. So many emotions ran through her that she didn't know what she was actually feeling or which emotion dominated them all. It was all too overwhelming. She didn't know what to think or if she was even thinking rationally at all.She was following a stranger after all, going deeper into the woods than she was comfortable with. But the curiosity got the better of her. She wanted answers, needed to know the truth, even though she was terrified of what she might learn.And so she asked the one question that was pondering her mind the most right now.“So are you going to tell me anything or are you taking me somewhere to kill me because I know?” Chloe said impatiently, though her heart clenched with the uncertainty of what was to come. As much as she was ner
“Matt, what are you doing here so early?” James' voice echoed through the house when Chloe and Matt entered through the back door, a thoughtful tone bouncing off the plain white walls that was laced with a bit of concern.“An incident happened,” Matt answered flatly, his voice sharp as a razor as a muscle twitched in his jaw. Just the thought of what happened to Chloe made his blood boil and his heart rate skyrocket through the roof with anger simmering just above the surface.Not knowing where his father was, he walked further into the house, grabbing a random jacket he found on the floor and handing it to Chloe. She took it from his grasp with a thankful nod and a small smile, her eyes softening as she searched his face, for what, he didn't know.Her cold hand grazed his for a momen, sending sparks through his body, making goosebumps rise on his arms. He retracted his hand immediately, shocked by the feeling, though his features remained blank, the only thing exposing him was his ey
It was the first day back to school for Chloe and already she was dreading it, wishing she could climb back into bed and fall into a blissful sleep. She hadn't slept much the previous night, frightened by her drunken father raging over everything. When she was younger, her father was the sweetest man alive, he was her roll mode, the man she always went to when she was having problems at schooll. That was until her mother died and the drinking started. He was an angry drunk, always pushing her into corners whenever she made him upset.Her only escape was sleep, when it would come, and when it wouldn't be riddled with dark nightmares or traumatizing memories that raided her dreams most nights. She didnt mind though, she had gotten used to the nightmares a long time ago, though they still frightened her.Chloe rolled out of bed and went downstairs to start breakfast for her father before he woke up. she walked down the narrow hallway that lead to the kitchen and the living room. She
It was the first day of school for Matt and his pack members in this new town. They had to move after they were raided by rogues in their old town, which they werent strong enough to fight off since their pack consisted of only 12 members, including himself after two of them were killed during the attack.He sat on his bed, waiting for his father, the alpha to call for him from downstairs. He was staring out his window, at the beautiful forest just outside the house, the dog laying low between the trees, hiding the secrets of the forest from any onlooker at the moment.Matt longed for a run, to stretch his legs in wolf form, feeling the cool air brushing through his fur and the fresh air that would surround him. The thought made his wolf, Zane, whine in his head, approving of the idea, but they had no time unless Matt wanted to be late for school.Instead, he stood up, tired of waiting for his father, and started getting dressed, deciding on a pair of blue Jean's and a plain white shi
Matt stood in the hall, Mark beside him. He had a disappointed look on his face missing Chloes presence. He was staring down the hall she had just left, wanting to run after her but knew he couldn't, he didn't want to seem like a crazy stalker running after a girl he just met.“What a love sick puppy,” Mark said, shaking his head in amusement. He grabbed Matt by the shoulder, steering him into the class, taking a seat at the back.The class was quite small with two rows of tall, white tables. The back wall was filled with cupboards with labels and Hazardous signs. The walls covered in posters of the periodic table, chemical compounds and the chemical makeup of certain elements.Each table was equipped with a lamp, microscope and test tube holders. At the front of the class sat the teachers desk with many papers littering the top and a massive white board in the center of the wall.'So what was all that about?' Mark asked through the mind link while playing with the microscope'What?'
Chloe woke with tears in her eyes, her heart racing and her breathing laboured. Her hair was matted to her scalp and her clothes clung to her body, drenched in sweat. Her body was still shacking from fear as she tired calming herself, taking long deep breaths.It was the third nightmare she'd had that night. It was a miracle she'd managed to fall back asleep after the first, let alone the second. She didn't want to take the chance of falling asleep again just to be woken with fear.Her heart wouldn't let up the rapid beating as she felt a panic attack coming on. When the tears started falling, she sat up, bring her knees to her chest and rocking back and forth to try calm herself.The panic attack started taking her breath, making it hard to breath as her lungs contracted in her chest, her head getting light from the lack of oxygen, all the while trying to keep quiet to not wake her father as she gasped for air.After what felt like forever, she started calming down, her breathing com
Matt pulled into the school parking lot, Mark sitting beside him in the passanger seat and Niki in the back. They were a bit early this morning as he parked right in front of the school. He switched the car off and they all hopped out and headed for the doors. Niki disappeared down one of the halls while they went to Matt's locker.“So what are you going to say to her? I mean I know your dad wants us to fish for information,” Mark asked as they stopped by Matts locker.“I dont know yet,” he said, opening his locker and grabbing his books. “i dont even know where to start, i'm really nervouse,” he said rubbing the back of his head. “aww, dont be dude, ill be right beside you,” Mark said, Patting Matts back.Once Matt had grabbed all the books he needed, they rounded couple of corners, just walking around when Matt picked up Chloes scent.“Shes here,” he said, his pace picking up spead.“Who, Chloe?” Mark asked, trying to keep up as they rounded another corner.“Who else dumb ass,” Matt
Matt wasnt waiting long before Niki arrived, walking out the wooden door to the school. The parking lot had filled up a lot more since they had gotten there earlier that morning, students were arriving and talking amongst themselves and their friends. Matt stood by his car, parked close to the front doors when he saw Niki approaching.Matt was pacing up and down beside his car, anxiety flowing through his veins, running his hand through his hair a couple of times he was thinking how he was going to tell her and ask her the things he wanted to ask. His nerves grew as she got closer, her hands tucked into the pockets of her tight fitting jeans.Matt knew she wouldn't like what he had to say, probably wouldn't even want to hear it, especially with her dislike on the situation, so he hoped and prayed she would be understanding enough to take what he had to say to consideration.“Hey, what do you need,” She asked, stopping a few feet in front of Matt.“I need your help,” He said, pulling h
