In The Dark1111

Mothers were supposed to love unconditionally. Mine didn't. In fact, she tried to kill me on my thirteenth birthday, when she saw just how different I was. My dad saved my life that night. He also took her away on an extended vacation, leaving me with an ever-absent uncle. Five years later, solitude was something I lived by. I had to because I was different and people tended not to cope well with the unusual. In fact, they hated me for it, were even scared of me because of it. I thought I was meant to live alone, until Isaac Grey took notice of me. He changed my life, taught me I wasn't the only one who was different, and I didn't need to be alone. But with love comes sacrifice and then pain. Could I ever escape living in the dark?

Chapter Seventeen: Running

Stalking back out into the living room in my feline form, I swished my tail from side to side. I couldn't have been prouder to finally share my secret with people I cared about. People who wouldn't judge and accepted me as I was.

Pouncing onto the couch, I watched as Caelen and Jezanna stood smiling at me.

"Leila." I looked to Isaac standing next to me. He reached out and placed his hand under my chin to bring my face up to meet his. "Even though you will be slacking today, I have to go to classes. I'll let them know you're sick but will be back tomorrow. I'm also going to meet with another friend of mine, who will be starting at our school today. So, for now, I'll say goodbye." He bumped his forehead against mine and smiled. He waved a goodbye to everyone else and left with Adan following.

It was good to see Isaac wasn't being silly and was taking a guard with him. He also needed someone to protect him. If anyone were to attack him, it would hurt many.
