Lost Wolf {Book 1 of White Star Series: Boyxboy, Werewolf}

Chapter 10

Wynter

"Wynter..." My head looks up from what ever I was looking at; it was dark in this place. Nothing like the memories of my past; they had been filled with light, not of darkness. As I look up, I see a door with light behind it; white light.

"Summer?" I call out, recognizing that soft, sweet voice from so long ago.

"Wynter..." More voices say this time. Tears begin to slide down my cheeks as I starts running towards the light.

"Mother!? Father!? I'm here!" I yell. As I run though, the hallway doesn't seem to be getting smaller, only longer. I look down to my feet to make sure they're working and it's not just my imagination; they are.

"Oh Wynter!" Summer cried out from now standing in the doorway, opening her arms wide. Mother and Father stand there contently, smiling at me. I try to sprint faster but this time, I move. Within seconds I'm in my sister's warm embrace; our parents hugging us both as well.

"God, I've missed you." I exclaim as I begin to cry into Summer's shoulder; it's been so long that I felt love and warmth...

"We haven't." I almost didn't catch that, but once I did, my head jolted back as my body physically falls backward so I land on my butt. 'What?'

"Wha- what?" I stutter in disbelief. They're still smiling... but their faces...

"We don't miss you... because we're taking you with us!" Instantly, there eyes turned red and glare straight down at me. Screaming, I try to turn around and run but they grab my leg.

"COME WITH US!" Everything was happening so fast. One moment I was feeling happy to see my family, and now I'm fighting for my life to get away. I cry out into the darkness of the hallway as I try to crawl away from the poisonous white light that engulfed my family; but I don't to seem to move. Instead, I feel something dragging me backwards by my leg like in a horror movie. Screaming my head off, I try to shake the iron grip but nothing happens.

"Goodnight!" I get flipped over to see a man with red eyes; no longer my parents and sister. He truly looked demonic in every way. I tried to kick myself free but instead, he broke my leg with one punch... and then took his knife and-.

"Gah!" I scream as I jolt up from my soaking wet bed.

God, it was just a dream... but it seemed so real! What's happening to me? Tears roll down my cheeks as my eyes adapt to the darkened space. My eyes make their way towards the digital clock on the nightstand to the right of the bed; it's six thirty. So about a fifteen minute nap... Not what I expected, new record. I have Insomnia along with the my other... illnesses if that's what you want to call them. Of course Aunt Izzy doesn't know, or at least I hope she doesn't; enough people already bug me and having her wouldn't be something I'd enjoy.

Every night I go to bed at nine on the dot like clock work, but hours go by and I stay wide awake. For some reason, on nights when a full moon reappear, I don't close my eyes for one moment. I physically just can't; I don't understand but whatever, I don't expect to make it past high school anyway...

Some nights, when Izzy is sleeping in bed, I go outside and sit in the surf on the beach; I like gazing at the stars. Makes me wonder about other forms of life, other people's and their lives, other vast worlds and universes. Astronomy is something that has always interested me...

I sigh softly as I stand up from the wet sheets of sweat and walk towards the window, to gaze at the twinkling sky.

"Daddy, is their life out there? In the stars?"
