Runaway-Isaac Lahey

part five

It was hard to take this all in. One minute they were telling me i was a werewolf, and the next they were saying they hunted werewolves. I had come here to take a break, to not have any stress in my life. But that was all failing. I decided that id go and clear my mind and walk to work, and then walk back. I used to always walk to work just because it was the one place i felt safe.

"I need to clear my head, ill be back within a few hours."

"No its not safe out there, your a werewolf and its the night of the full moon." The twins said in unison.

"Well it never was safe to begin with its just now being brought to my attention and ill be fine. Nothing has happened to me yet so why would anything happen now." I said as i hurried off into my room and got my shoes on. It was a Friday night so it was easier out than normal. Work was only around a half-mile away so i made my way off in that direction.

Once i got to work with nothing happening to me while walking outside, i took the keys and opened up the door. All the animals were gone. Well, we didnt have many animals coming into the vet this week so there werent many other then a cat or two. I walked to the back and sat down on the ground to clear my head. As i picked up my water and started to drink, i heard the door open and the bell ring. It was like 10 pm. I dont know why my boss would be here late at night.

"Deaton? Hello??" I stood up and went to the front. I saw nobody so i assumed it was the wind. Wait, there was no wind. "Hello?? Whoever is there come out please." The only other person i could think that would be here was the only other person that worked here... Scott. "Scott? Whatever you want with me i dont-" I stopped my sentence when i saw someone. It wasnt Scott. It was an older guy. Looked to be in his young 20's maybe. I had seen him hang out with scott a few times but i wasnt sure who he was. I never really was close to scott and i always minded my own business.

"Hello? Why are you here?" I said while backing up.

"You shouldnt be here." He said while sounding out of breath.

"This is my job i can be here if i want to be." I stopped talking as i heard nails scratching against the roof. I looked up but realized it was something outside. "Whats that noise? Whos out there?"

"Not really sure but like i said you dont need to be here. Just run as fast as you can home." He then paused and looked at me confused. "Wait.. how exactly did you hear that?"

"What do you mean how can i hear it? I can hear a lot of things. Like your breathing, and heartbeat, and the thing running on the roof." I realized that this wasnt a normal thing. To be able to hear these things.

"So your the girl that Scott said he bit? Hmm. Well then run home as fast as you can or youll be stuck here for the rest of the night."

"That THING is gonna kill me."

"Then ill get you a ride home." He picked up his phone and after a few rings, someone picked up on the other end. After a few minutes, he hung up and there was a ride for me out front. I went over to the jeep out front and got in.

"Oh thank god its just you. I thought he would have called that Isaac kid. Ugh." He looked confused on what my problem with Isaac was. I didnt really know but i didnt like him.

"Whats wrong with Isa-"

"He just always seems to be around and its quite annoying." I mean it was true.

Once we got back to the Wells' house i went up to my room and laid in bed and watched a movie. I started to drift off to sleep until there was a light knock on my door.

"Yea? Come in." I said while i sat up. In walked Reese holding Ice cream.

"I brought you something. I know it hasnt been the best night of your life so i thought this could help." She said while placing it on the nightstand and setting down the spoon.

"Thanks," i said. "But why are you really here?"

"Well... i have decided to stop werewolf hunting and to help you." She said but then her face dropped. "But Zoe didnt agree. She still wants to hunt them. She thinks they are all bad no matter who they are. She wont hurt you but the rest might get hurt eventually." Great just what i needed to hear. My two best friends werent on the same side all because of me.

"No reese you dont have to its ok,"

"Well it isnt ok so im not a hunter anymore. Now you need sleep. Its been a long day and its only the start. Night Carla." She said while turning out the lights and shutting the door behind her. I ate some of my ice cream and finished my movie. I got up to put the rest into the freezer, brush my teeth, and drift off to sleep.
