Until Dawn (Hosie)

Chapter 4: Just A Little Closer

Hope

I didn't know what came over me. Why was I suddenly getting really close to the girl. Why isn't my wolf listening to me. This is so embarrassing! why am I acting like a damn dog. I thought to myself as this beautiful girl continued to scratch me behind my ears. It felt really good that I forgot what I was even doing out in the woods in the first place. She felt so warm.

She stopped and suddenly stood up. I could feel my wolf not happy. They missed the contact and began to try to get her to continue. But she didn't. Instead she began to walk away causing me to chase after her. I brushed up against her to prevent her from leaving, but she just pushed me away still walking. She had wrapped an arm around me and I was happy once more. God what is this girl doing to me. Is she a vampire compelling me to bend to her will. Did she make a spell so she could just tame me. And why did I not care.

"I hate it." She said laughing almost frustratingly. Confused as to why she was confiding to a wolf but She didn't seem to care. She looked like she wanted someone to talk to. Maybe thinking I couldn't understand her, she felt safe to say what's on her mind. But I understood everything she was saying. And I was solely focused. "People with power think they're better then those who don't. And would do anything to gain more... Today I saw a beautiful girl" i stopped walking. I'm sorry who?! I began to growl. I felt anger rush my body. My wolf didn't take kindly that she had competition. I found you... you're mine. Don't you know the rule of the game. Finders keepers. I was even more confused. Why did I care. I don't even know this girl. For all I knew she just wanted to kill me like everybody else. So why did I feel. Jealous.

"There's this girl. Hope Mikaelson. She is one of the strongest in the county. And all they want to do is kill her. I don't know why. Sure she's powerful but there no need to go that far. It's... wrong. I'm sure she wants to live as much as anyone." She whispered her words as if speaking them were forbidden. A hint of sadness. She actually cares about me? No... It's a distraction. She's just saying that to get my guard down again. But why did she look so kind and soft, so... gentle. She took a deep breath walking towards me. "No im not going to kill her. But I can't protect her either. I'm not strong enough. Besides I don't even know the girl. She might try to kill me."

No, I'll never. I mentally shouted in my head. Why the hell did I even care. I didn't. I... I stopped thinking when I heard rustling in the distance. Someone was approaching, and fast; breaking off branches and there steps became louder and clearer in my ear. The girl got up to leave, about to walk into the direction of the nose. Without thinking I grabbed the hem of her jacket. Then I saw them. Dark blue eyes and Black fur. A white streak under their left eye. Yes, it's her. The future queen on demons. And she knew who was standing in front of her. I suddenly got in front of the girl protecting her from that ratchet beast.

"What the hell do you think you're doing. Get the hell away from her" she barked as the growls kept escaping her mouth. Even if I could I wouldn't. I wasn't in control of my wolf anymore.

"How about you leave De La Cruz. Shes my Territory now. She belongs to me" I barked back. More deeper letting her know if she'd stepped closer I'd kill her.

"Like hell. She doesn't belong to you Mikaelson. She doesn't belong to anyone. Now back off before I kill you right here and right now. That way you won't have to worry about the tournament." The demon laughed. It wasn't a secret. This girl could well in fact kill me. She was stronger, bigger, more powerful. But I had to stand my ground.
