CHAPTER THIRTEEN Currents
"CHEERIO, COME ON just poop already." Harley pleaded. She was at the park walking Cheerio. It was a foggy and gloomy morning and Harley wasn't exactly in the best mood to run after her dog. All he wanted to do was run around and look at the ducks in the pond instead of doing his business. "Come on, Cheerio. I'll give you a treat!"
Cheerio suddenly bolted and in her elephant slippers and pyjamas, Harley ran after the dog in worry. "Cheerio, wait!"
Harley turned the corner around the pond to see her dog being pet by a stranger. She sighed in relief. "Thank yo–" she froze mid sentence when the stranger looked up at her. Ethan. "Are you stalking me? Get away from my dog. Cheerio, come here."
Ethan straightened as Cheerio ran back to Harley. "Don't flatter yourself. You saved my life at the motel. So I'm gonna tell you something. Kali is angry."
"Oh, you think?" Harley scoffed. "The woman walks around in her bare feet with claws."
Ethan clenched his jaw. "Look, as far as she's concerned, you could have saved Ennis. So you also killed him. She's gonna be coming after you. Stick with Scott and the others."
"Or what?" Harley challenged, her hand balling into fists. "You guys will come and slash my throat?"
"Yeah. But knowing Kali, she'll make you suffer first." Ethan said. "She was in love with Ennis. She'll do anything to avenge him."
"Good to know." Harley noted before she brushed past him.
"I'm serious, Harley." Ethan warned again. "Stay with Scott and the others or she will kill you."
Harley paused and licked her lips. She looked over her shoulder at Ethan, staring at him dead in the eye. "I look forward to it."
"SO HE JUST showed up at the park?" Isaac questioned as the two walked into school. She had given him a ride.
"Yep." Harley answered.
"So the Alphas are coming after you?"
"Yep."
"And you're okay?"
"Yep."
Isaac looked at her like she had lost her sanity. "Are you... are you crazy?"
Harley pursed her lips as she stayed silent for a moment. "Yep!"
"Harls, what are you gonna do?" Isaac asked in exasperation as he stopped her from opening her locker.
"Isaac, I don't know." Harley exhaustedly confessed. Since the motel last week, she hadn't been getting a lot of sleep and she didn't need Isaac bugging her about the Alphas right now. "There's not much I can do about Alphas who want to kill me."
