Brand New Beginning

Chapter nine

It was a nice cottage as I stepped closer to it. As I reached the porch the smell got stronger but it didn't bug me as much as it did before. I knocked on the door and waited. This is a very strange place to make a house. It was in the edge of the forest, but it had a nice view. The door opened and a woman was standing in the doorway. "Hello, can I help you?" she asked but i was stunned. she had three scars on the right side of her face but she was pretty. She had long black hair and dark brown eyes. I snapped out of it then faced her. "Uh, hi, yes i'm lost and I was wondering you had a phone so I can call someone to come pick me up" I explained. Her mood lightned and she smiled at me. "Of course come in" she said going inside. I followed her inside but made sure to keep my distance. I was very hungry and i didn't want to hurt her. "Heres the phone, are you hungry dear?" she asked me. I shook my head and took the phone, "Thank you". I pulled the paper out and dialed the number. It rang three times before i heard a voice on the other end say "Hello?". "Hey Charlie its me, umm i'm kind of lost can you pick me up?" I asked i turned to the lady and she was smiling. I looked away quickly and focused on the phone.

"Oh yes of course where are you?" I could hear him grabbing his keys, "Umm..." I saw the women walk towards me. She extended her hand, I gave her the phone. "Charlie? Hey its me Emily" she said into the phone, they know each other? "Yea she came up to my house a little while ago. Yea sure ok see you soon." She hung up the phone and turned to me. "So your the young lady Charlie adopted" she said smiling. I didn't know what to say so I nodded. "Oh how wonderful, my name is Emily by the way" she said walking ove and hugging me. I tensed and only patted her back. "I'm Nicollete" I said stepping back as soon as she let go. She didn't seem offended by it and walked into the kitchen again. She came back in with a tray full of muffins. "Here" she said giving me a muffin. I took it and started nibble around the edges. Suddenly I heard a car drive up, thank goodness Charlie is already here, I thought. "Oh the boys are here she said smiling. Boys? I heard doors open and close, suddenly a strange scent hit my nose, it was the same scent I smelled when the wolves attacked me. I hunched my back and started walking backwards, away from the door. "Nicollete whats wrong?" she asked but i had no time to answer. The door swung open and four huge guys walked in. They were tan and had huge muscles. "Emily are you ok?" the bigger of the four guys walked towards her then he saw me. He growled and put her behind him. "Wait Sam she's harmless" Emily tried to say but he didn't listen. "What are you doing here?" he growled but before i had time to answer the three guys ran and grabbed me by the arms. I screamed, they were really strong. They shook me and started towards the door. "WAIT!" Emily shouted and ducked under Sams arms and ran towards me. But she was slow and they tossed me outside. I landed on my back but I was up in a flash. I turned around but there were three werewolves standing in my way. I could fee my heart race as I took in whats happening. Suddenly I heard footsteps behind me, I whirled around but it was only Emily.

"Are you ok?" she asked checking to make sure I wasn't hurt. Why as she doing that, I heard her gasp then. I looked at my arms and realized I had huge bruises on them. "Sam look what they did" she said. I looked up and saw him marching towards us. I stepped back trying to stay away from him. "Emily go back in the house she is a vampire" he ordered and once again put her behind him. "Then explain to me why she has bruises on her arm? She can't be a vampire" she said once again scooting around him and coming towards me. He grabbed her arm and I hissed him. They both stared at me then he released her arm. I didn't want her to have bruises she was nice to. "How is that possible?" she asked me walking to me. "I'm half vampire half human" I said. She nodded then looked at my arms. "She touched one of the bruises and i winced, "Oh poor dear, come back into the house, i have some cream that will help". She walked back into the house, I started to follow but Sam got in my way. I stopped and stared at him, "You need to leave, now" he said glaring at me. I turned around and looked at all the wolves. As i made eye contact with the sandy colored wolf he jumped back. The wolf next to him growled and snapped at him, so did every other wolf. I stared at him confused then turned around. I jumped back and nearly screamed in the place of Sam was a huge black wolf.
