The wolf

19

The next day at school warren wasn't there. That's not like him. AT ALL. He hasn't missed a day at school since sixth grade. Even when he was sick. Which wasn't often. I tried texting him when I got in my first class. Scott sat down beside me as soon as I finished sending the text. "Hey." He said smiling. I smiled back. "Hey. What's up?" Is asked. "Nothing much. But football practice was moved to today, so....can you stay? I'll drive you home if you want?" I thought a minute. If I'm home late my mom and stepdad will get mad. Wait! I Should do exactly that. "Oh I'm sorry. I should've know you can't go because of your parents. Just forget it." He said frowning. I still smiled. "No. I'm going. And....if our parents will let me, can I come for dinner again?" I asked. He smiled so big. "Great, so I'll see you in the bleachers?" I nodded. "For sure." I said. "And I'm sure my parents would love having you for dinner again. My mom and sister love you." He said. "That's great. I love them to. And your dad still doesn't like me....does he?" He frowned. "Nope. But your dad Doesn't like me either so I guess we're even." He smiled at the last part. "So are you gonna smile or frown?" I asked. He laughed. "Around you, I smile." He said. "Harris! Ethan's! Do you bet pay attention to class?! I'm going to have to switch your seats." We looked at him as he looked around the room. "Scott please switch with Daniel." Fuck! Please not Daniel. I'm begging. "I don't get along with this guy." I said. "Well then you won't talk to him." Scott rolled his eyes and stood with his stuff. Daniel was already standing over him. Scott was a little mad while Daniel was as happy as could be. They were almost touching chest. "My turn with her." Daniel smirked. Scott clenched his teeth inside his mouth. Then stomped to the other side of the room. Daniel sat down and faced me. "So sexy, how about you come to my football practice? We could come to my house afterwards and have a little fun." He said. I looked at him and smirked. "I'm already going to practice. I'm not having sex with you. And I'm not your girlfriend and not will I ever be. So back the fuck off." I said not smirking anymore. I then pulled out my phone and started playing music. Seether.

I didn't even get both headphones in my ears before he spoke again. "You may not be now...but you will be." He leaned to my ear. "And I know you know who Scott really is." I thought he leaned away so I turned to face him. He kissed my lips. I pushed him off me just as I heard something bang on the desk. It was loud. I spun my head to see Scott's fist clenched up on the desk. And mad. Like...REALLY REALLY furious. "Mr.martin....I need to go to the bathroom. Now." He said. "Go ahead Ethan's." he barley gave mr.martin enough time to finish before he stumbled out the door. I pulled out my one headphone and stuffed it in my pocket, along with my phone. "Mr.martin I also need to use the bathroom." I said standing. "Go ahead. Geez. Do you two do everything together?" I ignored his last comment and stormed out the door.

I went outside. Even when I didn't see him, I knew he was there. "Scott!" I yelled. "Scott I didn't know he was going to do that! Scott! Please forgive me! I didn't mean for that to happen!" He jumped out I the forest, in wolf form, and tackled me to the ground. His front paws held down my arms by the wrist. All his weight was on me. His claws dug into my skin. And I could feel blood come from my wrists. I started crying as they dug deeper. "Scott. Stop. Your hurting me." I said. He growled and snarled. He showed his teeth. His eyes were blood red. Again. "Scott." I cried. I felt my tears drip down my face and fill my eyes. I gulped. This was it. He was about to kill me. Or turn me into one his own kind. He howled again before someone grabbed him and threw him off me. My wrists hurt bad. His claws had to be way into my skin. I jumped up and saw Daniel in front of Scott. Smirking. "Now Scott..... I know you wouldn't want to hurt her on purpose. What made you hurt her? Was it me? I think it was. Oh how I love making you jealous and mad. You were so close to showing yourself. Man I wish you would've. Then the whole town would kill you. And id be laughing while I turn your precious little girlfriend into one of me." Scott jumped at him. But Daniel was as fast as he was and dogged his jump. "Now now scott, I thought we were teammates. Oh but that's right, we are also enemies. But don't worry, once we have her, we'll take good care of her. We promise." Scott jumped again. But then warren showed up and pulled scott back. "Warren!" I yelled from the ground. He looked over at me briefly then looked at Daniel. "You said you wouldn't go after the new bloods." He said. "Doesn't mean I won't break it. You know me warren. You know I always mess with the new bloods. And you know it also means that Mariadn will want her to. She mainly just wants me To find someone to take over the kingdom. You know her." He said. What? I'm so confused. I got to my feet while holding one of my wrists. Scott moved beside me. Half was beside and half was behind. "You can't have this one." Warren said. "Oh but I can. This is the one I want. And you know, out of all people, you know that I get who and what I want. And If I can't get it myself, then mariadn will help me." Daniel smirked before walking inside. Warren ran over to me. "Are you okay?" He asked putting a hand on my shoulder. I nodded. "Yea, except for my wrist. They hurt like hell." I said. "Scott you need to get her back inside now. So man up and suck it up." He said. Scott turned from wolf, back I human.

"Here." Warren said taking off his shirt. "I'm going home anyway." He said. "Wait why?" I asked. "Because I have something I need to do." He turned and started walking away. "Tell me." "I can't Brenda." "Tell me!" I can't handle this anymore. He NEVER tells me anything anymore. "No!" I clenched my fist no matter how much it hurt my wrist even more. "if you don't......I'm going I tell Bella." He stopped walking. And slowly turned around. "You wouldn't." He said. "Your right. I won't. I won't tell her if you tell me." He was quiet a minute. "Fine. I'm going home. Because I need to find a way to keep the vampires from getting you. They are real. They are bloodthirsty. They are viscous. If they bite you, you will become one of them. They want you. I don't know why yet, but they do. And that's what I'm trying to figure out. Because I'm not letting then have you. Not you." He turned and ran off In the woods.

We were now in the girls bathroom again. Sitting on the floor while he cleaned my cuts. "I'm so sorry." He whispered. I heard him slightly crying. I used my free hand to put it on his shoulders. "Hey....it was an accident. I know that. You were mad. I probably would've done the same thing." He looked up from the paper towel on my wrist. His blue eyes were blurred with tears. "I was suppose to be the one to protect you. But I hurt you instead. And I'm so sorry for that. I will never be able to forgive myself. Brenda-" "stop. Stop apologising. It's not your fault okay? So please stop. Every time you say 'I'm sorry' it makes me upset. I already know your sorry. So please don't say it anymore." He looked back at my cut. "Sorry." He snapped his head up. "No I meant sorry for saying sorry so many times." He said a little loud. I laughed. He smiled. "So are you still gonna come to my practice after school?" He asked. "I wouldn't miss it."

School as awesome. I didn't pay attention to anything. I was talking to Scott non-stop. Isabella came to the football practice with me. We sat in the same seat as last time. They broke up into two teams. And played a game as they would in a real game. There was Scott's team and Daniels team. When Scott played he was jumping and running over and around people tackling one another. "Is this gymnastics or football Ethan's?!" The coach yelled after Scott made a touchdown. Scott slammed down the ball and stomped over to the coach. "I like what your doing out there Scott but these others boys need a chance to get the ball! On games I don't give a fuck what you do as long as you don't get a foul! Okay?!" He hit Scott's helmet. He nodded and ran to his position. Gavin passed the ball to him and he caught it. He ran and often looked backwards. He looked backwards once and Daniel tackled him to the ground. He landed on his shoulder HARD and dropped the ball.
With a faint cracking sound.
