Caught In His Claws

Chapter Twenty-two

Rosalind's POV

Finally the twins arrive at the house and I can leave, I'm tired of being cooped up in a house. Hopefully I can convince one of the twins to let me be out for a bit before I have to go back to being stuck in a room.

"Can I talk to one of you for a second?" Klaus asks.

"Sure." Ethan says and walks away.

Aiden comes over to me, "We know what you are."

"So do I. Klaus called someone who did something and I'm something called a forever wolf. That's probably what he's telling Ethan right now. I was wondering if before you take me home I could go out alone?"

"Definitely not."

"Why."

"Because I don't want you to die."

"Sense when do you care. Two days ago you wanted me locked up forever, and now you don't want me to die. None of it make sense."

"Rosalind I do care. I was just mad the other day." He puts his hand on my thigh. "And I don't know what I would do if you died." Aiden slides his hand up my thigh and kisses me. "Wanna go further?"

"Definitely," I pause. "not here."

"That was mean."

I lick my lips. "You like it." I get up and walk over to the door.

Aiden's POV

I lean back on the couch and wait for Ethan to come out. When he does he looks at me, at Rosalind, then back at me. I get up and we make our way to the door.

"You still have lipstick on you." Ethan says and walks up to Rosalind. I wipe it off. "Your lipstick's smudged." I hear him say, and Rosalind looks back at me. Rosalind gets on behind me and wraps her hands around my stomach.

"If you want me, just say it." I smirk.

When we get home, Deucalion wants to talk to me so Ethan and Rosalind leave.

"You lied to me. Why." I shrug. "Why!" Deucalion yells. 

"She was mad at me, and broke my bike. I extended the truth a bit." I blurt out.

"I told you in the beginning that she was going to be a problem. That was the whole reason I needed you to watch her! Why was she mad at you?"

"I caught her trying to leave during lunch. I made sure she didn't."

"Ok. For this time you're fine, but if you ever lie to me again, I will kill. Understand."

"Yes." I walk up to Rosalind.

"Also, tell Morrell to line Rosalind's door with mountain ask." I nod and go find Morrell.

"Deucalion wants you to finish the line of mountain ash in Rosalind's room." She rolls her eyes and grabs a jar. When we get to the door I can here the news, but I didn't hear enough to tell what's going on. Once Morrell has left I ask Rosalind what happened.

"One person dead, and another missing. Do you know anything about about the music teacher at the school?"

"Only that he used to be in the military there's medals and certificates all around his room." Rosalind pulls out her board and writes something on it. "What's going on?"

"I think I know the ritual they're following and what they're doing."

"Want to work together again?"

"Sure." She pulls out a price of paper and starts writing on it. Once she's done, Rosalind come to the door and throws the paper out.

"Are you sure?" I ask.

"With the lunar eclipse coming up in the next couple weeks I'm positive."

"Then we should find out who it is fast."

"You think I don't know that?" She says sarcastically. "Unfortunately we can't do much until more people die."

"One left in this set of." I stop hoping Rosalind finishes.

"Warriors, and three more sets after that."

"Meaning there is only ten people left to die." She nods.

"Want to do something for me?" She asks with a smile.

"What." I roll my eyes.

"Just go walk around the woods and look for dead bodies. I would do it, but you got me trapped in my room so I can't." She continues to smile.

"Fine, but you owe me." I get up and walk out the door. I walk with my head aimed slightly down to see anything below or ahead of me. I have pretty much just been walking in circle for the last couple hours, when I trip on something. I grab a stick and move the leaves preparing to see a dead body. Once all the leaves are away I see that it's just a log. I step back and fall. I get up thinking that it's just another log, but when I do I see a face. It's new, not the missing music teacher, and definitely not the body the already found. I guess we only have nine more dead people.

We're almost done with this story, I'm thinking no more then seven chapter. Definitely some new relationships getting developed, I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
