Demon Side

Chapter 17

You know the scene in a horror movie, where the main character goes into the closet of a freaky passageway alone? Well that's the part where Micah and I were. This chick was stupid enough to go into the damn passageway-an underground tunnel-with leaks and rats everywhere. I couldn't believe it. Don't go in the tunnel, don't go in the tunnel, don't go in the tunnel-why did you go in the tunnel?! Ugh! It was terrible. Right when the monster-demon-thing popped out of nowhere, I threw the blanket over my head and turned into Micah's arms. He gladly held me securely as I trembled in fear. Yeah, I am a bit scared of horror movies. But then again, they have good story lines.

"Are you really that scared?" He asked, laughing lightly.

"Very." I said from under the blanket.

"Well then."

"Well then what?"

"I guess I get all the popcorn." I bet he was smiling; he's such a pig. I threw the blankets off of me as fast as I could to get the popcorn bowl before he did. But, because of my slowness and because of his quickness, I think you can guess who won.

"Really? You know, I'm only so tall." I said trying to do a puppy dog face.

"Well did you know that your face is insulting to us werewolves?"

"How so?"

"Did you forget that wolves are related to dogs?" Now he acted all offended like and sad.

"Oops?" I smiled. He just gave me a face that said "you think?" Now I felt totally stupid. I didn't know that where wolves could get so offended, but they are creatures too and every creature has feelings. We then focused more on the screen than at eachother. The last thing I remember was the girl, screaming for her mother. Thats when I drifted into a deep, dark sleep.

*****************************************

The sweet, honey sun peered through the window. It woke me up with a warm welcome as I opened my eyes-O.M.G.

Why was I sleeping on the couch with Micah?! What?!

I sat up quick enough to wake him up.

"What's wrong?" He asked. His voice, cracking as he stretched his muscular arms up above his head.

"Nothing," I stared at him. "I was just about to get up to go to the bathroom." I gave him a quick smile then walked into the bathroom, shutting the door carefully behind me. 'Why do I always fall head over heels for guys like this?! Ugh! Snap out of it angie; don't fall for the adorable, mysterious, dark, charming wherewolf dude. You must stay alive and fight like a girl.' I thought to myself. I knew it was going to be extremely tough to not fall for a guy like Micah, but I had to stand my ground.

"You didn't fall in did you?" I heard Micah from outside the door. I quickly glanced at the clock...what?! I had been in here for a half hour just thinking?! How is that even posible?

"Just a sec." I yelled. I turned on the faucet to the sink to make it seem like I actually was going to the bathroom. After a few seconds, I shut it off and opened the door.

"You weren't really going to the bathroom,  were you?" Micah asked. He was standing right in front of the doorway and I nearly ran into him as I walked out.

"Snooping, were you?"

"I just have good ears." He winked at me; 'casual Micah, what a charmer' I thought sarcastically. I gave him a look. "What were you really doing?"

"Thinking, why?"

"About...?"

"Stuff."

"What kind of stuff?"

"Stuff that only concerns me and not sycopath, ax murderer werewolves."

"Well in your case, I'm the sycopath, ax murderer wherewolf." He laughed jokingly.

"Well, now I know what a real smart ass you are." I stuck out my tongue. He was getting so nosy and annoying. Why won't he stop asking stupid questions?

"Awww, thanks sweetheart, you're a doll."

"Dear lord help me." I looked up and pretended to pray and ask for God's help.

"Easy, I was just joking." He smiled. Well apparently he thought it was hilarious, I didn't since he was trying to piss me off. He pulled me into a hug, which I didn't mind. It felt reassuring and like it was his way of apologizing. "Sorry, you're so sensitive that I guess I just gotta get used to it. That's all." I put my head on his chest and felt his heartbeat. I remembered how it felt to be fully alive. When I was a kid; playing with Daniel-speaking of which, where is he?
