Blood Moon

26: Past self

°°Previously°°

I walked down the stairs and walking down the porch steps on my way to school.

The world started to spin the further I walked away from my house but shrugging it off,  I kept on walking.

°°°°°°°°

My feet grew heavy almost as if they were deep in quicksand. The world spun like I was thrown into a different world or was it more like a memory?

I was in the pack school, back when my mom was alive but when she died, I was taken out. My dad believed that I was safer with humans than my  own kind... my own pack.

The school halls look exactly the same as I remember it. I looked around me eventually my eyes locked on Louis, I almost burst into tears we went everywhere together he was my best friend, when he died... I felt so alone especially since my dad was so focused on the investigation. I ran to him hugging him closely.  I felt his chest rumble as he chuckled and hugged me back. I felt safe he was like that older brother that you knew would always be there no matter how annoying they could be.

"Miss me already? I mean I can totally understand I am irresistible. No wonder you are so clingy I'm incredible you were deprived of this for seven hours too long", Louis said in a mockingly sarcastic manner.

I pulled away looking him dead in the eye." No you jerk I just missed you" rolling my eyes and pulling away completely.

He laughs and throws his head back. "I was joking you emotional jelly bean," the bell rings annoyingly "come on we have history first period and we both know how much I love learning all about our moon goddess"

Punching him lightly, "Don't be mean, you know I like history"

" I know little nerd now let's go", he said wrapping his arm around my shoulders.

"Watch who you're calling 'little nerd' there bucko that's the future big bad alpha you're talking to", turning around I found that the voice belonged to Joseph, Louis's younger twin.

I bare my teeth in a joking manner and laugh. I look across the hallway and see Kate, remember her? The day after the whole hiding go seek incident we kind of drifted apart as we all do. But the twins? They had my back every single day.

Tears brim my eyes knowing that they are both dead now. I remember Louis funeral as well as his dads it was a day or two before my moms. Looking at him now all happy and smiling complaining about school... this, this is how I wanted to remember him. The strong independent twin that looked out for everyone no matter what the cost even if it costed him his life... Joseph I remember how he blamed himself how he wished it was him that had died. I think that is what broke me the most...

Now they are both gone, leaving me the only survivor. Gosh, what is wrong with me... I keep thinking of their deaths but I can't but help feel as if this was the reason I am here in this memory. They are most probably the key for something but what?

I look across the hallway to a girl with blonde hair looking straight at me. I couldn't help but feel self-conscious her gaze was so demanding and perhaps threatening?

Nudging Louis I brought his gaze from Joseph to me.

"What?" he asked noticing my concerned expression.

"The girl down the hallway with blonde hair and a gaze that can see right through me... who is she?"

Looking swiftly pretending to be looking for something his seemed to have found the girl I was talking about and looked back at me.

"She is Tom Fletcher's daughter remember the famous werewolf serial killer? Well not exactly a serial killer but he did kill his wife and her family"

"What is she doing here?"

"She transferred here last week remember? She was finally taken out of homeschooling by her godmother in hopes it will help her cope with her depression. Not the brightest way of thinking but you know what would I know"

"oh...it must have slipped my mind"

"Why do you ask?"

"It's probably nothing but she keeps staring at me with an almost threatening gaze"

"Strange I wonder why she would do that she has been awfully nice to me in some of the classes I have with her. Never once did she come off threatening."

"It's probably nothing as I have said. I must just be paranoid"

"Yeah.... Yeah probably", he said drifting off with a look of deep concentration crossed his face.

We kept on walking towards class all the while I couldn't help but strain my memory of anything that would tell me if I had, had any communication with this girl at all.

My mind kept going blank. We took our seats in the classroom and that's when it hit me.

She was that crazy girl that threw me aside while the boys were changing after practice one afternoon.

What did she say again? Something along the lines of him and mine? 

Come on, come on stupid brain think for once!

Then it all came hitting me at once. I remember being slammed into the wall and the girl's face contorting with anger

"You stay away from him! You got that baby alpha he is mine! I won't allow your family to take more away from me than you already have! He will love me even if it means wiping you out of the picture completely you got that? Stay away from the twins. Stay away from LOUIS!"

With one last shove she walked away just before the boys came back out. I remember not saying anything because I just thought this was all just teenage hormones getting the better of her and she was making empty threats. Now remembering how she glared at me from across the hall i don't think it was as empty of a threat.

Then all at once the world around me went dark. And I was left with the thought of what my past self was thinking
