The Darker Side of Me

Chapter 13: What's Going On!?

"We have to get them home," Hunter said.

"There's no time. Get them to the safe house," Logan ordered.

"Whoa man, I'm not letting you do this alone."

"Hunter, that's an order!" Just when I thought Logan was a sweet guy who care so much about the feelings of other people, here he was ordering Hunter to do what he says. I must say it was kid of hot

"Logan," Hunter said seriosuly. "Don't take it further than it needs to go."

"I'll try not to."

Logan took of running towards his mom and the rest of the adults. He sent his mom over to us with a long hug and a kiss on the cheek. She ran over and looked at Hunter. He nodded and we all headed into the forest. While Hunter walked ahead with Emma, I trailed behind making sure that Sarah didn't have another panick attack. I'm surprised I was able to keep her calm because I was freaking out on the inside. It was definitely different not having Logan around. It always seemed safer when he was by my side. And although we technically just started dating tonight, I couldn't help that sick feeling in my stomach that he may be in serious trouble.

I was pulled out of my thoughts when Sarah said, "So what exactly is going on?"

"There's a bit of trouble in the family right now. We just need to sort it out and then we'll all be fine," Emma answered.

"So what about Logan?" I asked, worry draping though the spaces in every word.

Emma slowed her pace so she was now walking beside me and wrapped an arm around me. "He's done this before. He'll be fine, I promise."

I felt tears well up in my eyes but still forced a smile into my face to hide how scared I actually was. The safety of my boyfriend was in danger and I wasnt ready to lose him. Not yet. We walked a little further, Sarah now walking ahead with Hunter and Emma walking with me. Every so often, I would hear a crack in the woods and look around to make sure nothin was going to come out and eat us. All of a sudden, out of the trees jumped a huge wolf, about 3 times the size that they were supposed to be. Hunter had run off ahead with Sarah on his arm and so I was stuck here with Emma. She pushed me backwards and stepped towards the wolf. He had light brown, almost golden, eyes that pierced right through me. I wasnt able to hide the fear any longer and felt my heart pounding against my chest. As Emma got closer an closer, I could almost tell that I was going to jump at her and I was going to have to witness a beautiful woman get mauled by a wokf. I'm so not ready for this. But as I listened closer, I could hear her talking to the wolf as if it were human.

"We can help you," he cooed.

The wolfs demeanour seemed to have calmed slightly, but not enough to give me comfort, I started backing up slightly and was about to turn and run back to the house when I stepped on a twig and both Emma and the wolfs attention turned to me. The attack was back in the wolfs eyes and I could feel my heart racing a mile a minute. There was another cracking behind me as I turned to look quickly. I saw that Logan was running towards me in the just the jeans he had on earlier and no shirt. Another crackle in the bushes brought my attention across the way to see that Hunter and Sarah had also come along. Sarah looked strong and surprisingly not scared at all. I lookd back to where Logan was running over to me. He looked pissed beyond belief.

"Logan!" I shouted fear surging through my body now.

As if he could tell how scared I was, he quickened his pace. His breath hitched and he jumped forward about to land on his hands. Just before any part of his body touched the forest floor, he turned into a massive black wolf, about the same size as the other. I screamed as the first wolf lunged at him and they started rolling around on the ground, biting at each other. I saw Hunter say something to Sarah and kiss her quickly. She started running over to me and Hunter too turned into a dark brown wolf. He lunged in at the first and Logan and ended up breaking them apart in a matter of seconds. Sarah had now reached me and was pulling on my arm, urging me to go with her in the initial direction that we'd been walking before. I went with her unknowingly as I pondered what the hell just happened. I literally just saw my boyfriend of 3 hours turn into an oversized animal. I made a mental note to ask him about that later.

When I returned to reality, I saw that Sarah had taken me to a tiny cabin atop a small hill deep within the woods. She sighed in relief and that's when I snapped.

"Sarah what the hell are you doing?" I shouted.

"Noah, please clam down, come inside and I'll try and explain everything," she said pleadingly.

"No! My boyfriend is out there about to get mauled by something I've never seen before. Hell he turned into a frikin' animal right in front of me! Hunter did too how can you be so freaking calm right now?"

"Look I can only tell you what I know."

"Why the hell do you know and I don't?"

"Because Logan was going to tell you but he got called about...whatever that was."

"So what, I'm supposed to just chill out here while he's out there fighting for his life along with your boyfriend and their mom?"

"Noah, I know this is a lot for you but you need to trust me in everything that I'm saying right now. I always listened to you, now you need to just calm the hell down and come inside so I can try and explain this all to you."

Her sudden authority scared me even more. She'd never acted this way towards me before so I knew whatever the she was talking about was some serious stuff and that I really did need to just take a deep breath and trust that she was going to tell me everything. I took a deep shaky breath and walked over to her. She grabbed my hand and rubbed the back of it consolingly. I walked into the cabin door and sat down on the couch with her. She looked at me softly and I started to cry. She pulled me into a hug and started telling me everything she knew about what just went down. She started by saying that everyone at the party tonight except for her and I were werewolves, or shape shifters. When her and Hunter pulled away, he knew that the first wolf, Amesly, was going to come out. He told her that he was what they call a rogue, a wolf tht had no pack and that he was looking for somewhere to stay when he stumbled upon the party.

From there she told me about the Logan's family, also known as the Kumori pack. His mother and father were the alpha male and females before his father died, leaving Logan to fill his shoes. But he couldn't actually become the alpha male until he found his mate. So when Amesly smelled a wolf pack nearby, he wanted to come and check it out, but then he sensed our presence and became scared. He felt threatened and wanted to go to what they call the top dog, pretty muh the chief of police of the werewolf world. Logan and hunter couldn't have that happen because that means that everyone that was at the house party would have to be exiled to another state and that Sarah and I had to be killed.

"So as part of his first duty as reigning alpha male, Logan had to go after the rogue. Somehow he got away and came after us," she concluded. "So then Hunter told me about this place, instructed me to bring you here and tell you everything so you wouldn't get too freaked out. Please don't hate me, I seriously only got the brief description that I just gave you."

I sighed in relief like she had earlier. "I don't hate you Sarah, I never could. I'm just scared to high heaven," I assured her.

"Don't worry, I'm just as scare as you are. And I say that as soon as they walk in the door, we gang up and give them an earful."

I laughed. The old Sarah was back and I was surprisingly feeling better about the whole situation. Almost fascinated now. I mean, my boyfriend, the town bad boy, is a closet shape shifter. That's pretty damn awesome. But there was one more thing festering inside me that I needed to know.

"So this whole dating thing, does it mean that were their mates?" I asked her since she was obviously understanding this whole thing way better than I was.

"That's just another one of the questions I'm asking myself," she answered slightly scared.

Oh boy, what has my life come to in 3 and a half days?
