The Animal In Me

She's Hiding Something

( Sam's POV ) ( That's him!! Hot! )
( Lol sorry. He just is. )

She's been quieter than usual. Kinda creepy the way she's keeping to herself. She's normally laughing and picking on us. But playfully of course.

Her laugh is so cute. Even though sometimes she kinda sounds like a dying horse, but don't tell her I said that.

But that scent on her neck. I don't think it was hers. I know she said the wolf was a female, but I somehow don't believe her. She's the most trustworthy person I know, and if I can't trust her, I can't trust anyone.

"Hey, Em. Whatcha doin'?" She was over at my house again, but I didn't mind. I loved her. She could come over as much as she wanted to.

She looks up at me, bluish/greenish eyes meeting my pale, ugly gray ones. A side of her mouth quirks up. "Watchin' TV. Where have you been?" I laugh.

She gives me a look. "Sorry. I was out." Narrowing her eyes she says, "And when I say I went out, all hell breaks loose." I sigh. "We're just trying to keep you safe. The Loners could hurt you."

She snorts. "I can take care of myself." I shake my head. This girl was so stubborn. "No, actually, you can't. Those wolves will kill you so fast you won't even have time to blink. Sorry." I shrug.

She sighs and leans against me. "Teach me." I look down at her. Her eyes gleam up at me, like two pools of blue/green water. "Teach you what?" She shifts her body, making sure she was facing me.

"Teach me to be strong, cunning, clever. Everything you are." My breath hitches. "E-everything I am?" She nods. "That's not what I am, Ember. I'm not cunning or clever."

"But you're strong." "Eh. A bit." She laughs and gently punches my arm. "You are. Quit being modest." I smile. "Okay. I'm strong." Em smiles back. "Where's Alec?" She asks.

Aaaand the moment is ruined. "I don't know," I mutter and get up. "Hey, where you going?" "Out." She follows me. "Can I come?" I glance back at her. "No." I turn away and open the back door.

"But, Sam, please?" "No." I close the door and change into my tan wolf. God, the mere mention of his name pisses me off. She has feelings for him too. Not just me, him. Probably that Malleroy guy too.

Who the hell came up with Malleroy? It's like they wanted a girl, but got stuck with a boy. And instead of naming the baby Mallory, they came up with Malleroy. Like what the hell.

I snarl and run into the woods. Maybe I should've let her come with me. But then she'd just get in the way of my thoughts. She was a distraction. A good looking one at that, but still a distraction.

I run to the shack me and Alec used to go to. It's been years since the two of us have been in there together. Ever since Em showed up, things changed. We got into more fights, more arguments, everything.

And he almost killed her. Just because he couldn't have her. Well, news flash, dude, neither can I. But we need to suck it up. There's other girls. They don't even have to be werewolves.

But the thing was, I didn't want a normal girl. I wanted Em. She was....amazing. No ordinary chick could ever be like her. Ever.

I stepped into the shack and changed back into my human. I sat on the rough floorboards and cried. I wanted her so much, it caused me actual pain.

Should I move on?
