The World We Belong To

Chapter 45

Susie's POV

Today is the day, the ritual is gonna happen at midnight in the woods. Everyone is gathering at Newt's house in the morning. Mom, dad and I were going to his place with our things packed that are needed for the ritual. When we arrived, I already see many people wandering out side his house. When we got out of the car, Newt came out of the house smiling and came slowly running to me, I smiled seeing him come to me. He took our bags and walked us inside. Everyone stared at mom and me strangely at the same time they seemed glad. Newt put our bags aside while his dad and mom came to us.

"Kayla" his dad said welcoming us home and then he looked at my dad and shook his hands. Newt's mom came to me smiling and held my hand standing next to me. I don't see Jenna anywhere. I looked at Newt who is already looking at me.

"Where is jenna?" I mouthed the words. He smiled and mouthed back the words

"Mike"

Why would mike be here? I thought , as my parents and Newt's dad were talking about the ritual.

"Newt" His mom called him, he eyes moved to her from me raising his eyebrows. "Introduce her the pack" she said.

Newt nodded as she let go off my hands, she gave me a smile and went to my parents to join the conversation.

"Why is mike here?" I asked newt.

"to be with Jenna obviously" he said.

"He's seems really caring" I said as we walked out to meet the pack.

He leaned down to my ear and said "So is your boyfried"

I shooked my head with a stupid smile.

A group of people were standing in the woods infront of the house, talking with each other, I don't see anyone smile. They all seemed afraid. They saw us coming to them.

"Hey guys" Newt said "Meet Susie Collins"

They all forced a slight smile for me and waved their hands, I did the same. Newt told me their names and I tried to remember as many as I can, They are 15 members in his pack and they all looked young just like Newt.

"Well Newt seems a bit different" a guy said, he looked thin and pale and a bit short. He seemed to be the youngest of all. Newt looked at him with a slight smile and looked at me.

"Come here Padro" he called him with a smile. So the little guy's name is Padro, suits him. Padro came to him and Newt messed with his hair and he tried to avoid it but Newt is stronger than him, everyone laughed.

"Newt" Padro stepped back "How many times have I told you to stop messing with my hair" he said looking a bit annoyed.

"Well you know how much I love messing with your hair" Newt said laughing at him bending a bit down to match Padro's height.

"You haven't changed at all" Padro said as he ran inside the house.

"Why did you do that?" I asked "He got upset" Newt laughed slightly.

"He is not upset" I said "That's just how we always paly around" I shooked my head.

"I will go check on him' I said and went inside, I don't see padro in the hall but my parents  are still talking on and on about the ritual. They are more worried than us.

"You need something honey?" Newt's mom asked.

"Umm no Mrs.Rupert" I said "I am looking for Padro, he just came inside"

"Ohh he went to Newt's room, he will be in there" she said.

"Thanks Mrs.Rupert" I said and went to Newt's room and saw Padro sitting on the bed looking down at his hands, he looked sad. He saw me coming inside but he didn't say anything. I sat on the bed next to him.
