: Chapter 9

I wake up in the middle of the night to find Blake sitting on the stair across the room.

"B..blake..," I whisper. I go up to him to find him asleep. "Blake," I say shaking him awake.

"Huh, stay away from my Luna," he shouts.

"Chillax, it's just me," I whisper, "What the hell are you doing here?" I ask him.

"Oh, don't worry I asked your parents. I told them everything and yeah, apparently they are dead worried about you," he tells me.

"Apparently! Now they are devastated because of your big mouth," I shout at him making sure my voice wasn't that loud.

"Shhh...you will wake them up," he hushes me up.

I sit back on my bed covering my feet with my blanket. "Ummm," I say, "Aren't you feeling cold?" I ask him.

He smiles and says, "Concerned?".

"Hmp...no. It's just that it's cold and you are not even wearing a jacket or socks," I tell him.

"Don't worry, I'm an Alpha, a werewolf. I'm strong," he tells me then sneezes afterward.

"You worry about me but don't even think about your health," I whisper but because of the silence, he hears me.

"You're my Luna. I can't afford to lose you -again. If I can't protect you I'm not worthy of the Alpha title," he says.

"If you don't take care of yourself and get sick, how will you protect me?," I ask him.

He stays quiet and sneezes again, "That's what I thought," I tell him, "Now came up here and sleep, I'm pretty sure this bed is big enough for two".

He looks at me and asks, "Y..you want me in your bed?".

"Stay there if you don't want," I say laying down.

After a few seconds, I hear the sheets shuffling and when I look I see Blake already inside the blankets. "Don't make me regret this," I tell him.

"You think too much. If I wanted to, I would have done that a long time ago," he says smiling.

"Whatever...Good night," I tell him.

"Good night my Luna," I roll my eyes and close them.

I feel a hand around my waist as Blake pulls me close to him, "For safety," he whispers.

"Great excuse"

"I know," he says.

I quickly drift to sleep in his arms. Half asleep and half awake I hear him say, "I love you, Luna," as he kisses my cheek.

'I don't know which spell you put on me but I just can't help but fall for you too' I say in my mind as I smile my way to sleep.

I wake up in a forest, surrounded by people. They seemed to be around their teens and they had disgusted face expressions printed on their faces.

"Ewww..," the first one said in disgust sticking out her tongue, "Her hair is so strange".

"I know, no wonder her parents left her," the second one replied, "A forbidden creature like you doesn't deserve to live," he continues kicking me in the back.

I try to scream but I couldn't, I just growled silently and crawled into a ball. They just laughed at me as they continued to hit me, "Look at it. You don't deserve to be one of us," the third one said grabbing my hair.

She brought out scissors and as she was about to cut my hair I left out a loud cry that caused the ground to shake violently causing the teenagers to lose their balance and fall. My eyes were glowing like one of them changed its color into a brighte red color while the other stayed blue. I stood up and walked up to them. I grabbed one of their hair and cut it with a scissors. She begged me but I couldn't just let them go so easily. I went to the other one and scratched his face causing a scar across his left eye. I did the same to the other five. "Y..you're evil," the first one said.

"Evil?," I whisper, "You say I'm evil," I repeat louder, "Even after everything you have done to me".

Her eyes widened as she says, "Y..you can talk....H..How?" she asks me.

"And why should I tell you?," I ask her, "You think it's that easy". I laugh and tell her, "I can easily kill you in one strike, but I'm not as evil as you," my voice collided with another I assumed was the wolf inside me, "Nothing happened, make a story and tell the others. If I hear any of this around the pack. I will slit your throat".

I turn around and I'm taken to another event. I was holding a knife that was covered in blood. Before I was the same five teenagers, four of them breathless and the fifth one had lost his arms.

"P..please, f..for..forgive m..me," he stutters coughing out blood after every word, "I.. didn't t..tell them," he continues.

I smirk, "Awww, what's the fun in that," I tell him as I throw my dagger straight to his throat. I see it fly snapping his head off his body, blood scattering everywhere including my face. It sure was a horrific bloody scene.

I wake up breathing heavily as I gasp for air. Blake wasn't there. 'In...Out,' I tell myself, 'What was that? Why do I feel like it has once happened? Am I a killer?' I had a thousand questions spinning around in my head.

I go downstairs to find dad working on his computer.

"Morning Dad...," I whisper.

He looks at me and gives me a warm smile, "Good morning Luna," he says in a cheerful voice.

"Where is Blake?" I ask him. His smile disappears and was replaced by a frown, "Him?..he went somewhere," he said looking back at his computer.

"Oh," I whisper, "Okay thanks," I tell him going back upstairs.

"And ummm...Luna..," he says making me stop in my tracks, "Get ready, your mother and I need to take you and your sister somewhere," he continues.

"Ok dad," I reply continuing on my way.

I go and take a shower quickly and dry myself with the drying towel not bothering to wrap it around my body as my room and my washroom were together, plus my curtains were still shut. I wear blue skinny jeans, a white sleeveless top, and my white sneakers and I tie my hair in a messy bun. I go downstairs to find Liana there.

"Morning Lia," I say with a smile on my face.

"Oh..morning Lu," she warmly greets me, "You look good today".

"Thanks, you are not too bad yourself," I reply scanning her from head to toe. She was wearing military pants, a lagoon green sports bra, white sneakers, and a black jacket.

"Thank you," she says, "Where do you think mom and dad are taking us?" she asks.

I walk to the dining table and take an apple that was in the fruit tray. "I don't know," I tell her taking a bit, "I just hope we are not going to grandma's," I continue.

She giggles and says, "I'm sure she won't remember..," she continues, "..she is getting old anyway".

I look at her dead serious, "She might be getting old but damn that old woman got a memory better than mine," I tell her.

As she was about to reply mom shouted from upstairs, "Lu get the car keys...Lia go get 10 bottles of frozen water".

I look at Liana as she whispers, "10 bottles of water? What will all that water be at use for?".

I chuckle silently and say, "Better do what she says".

We go in different directions and do what we were told. After about 10 minutes we get in the car and start our trip -to wherever we were going.
