The Argent Wolf

Chapter 8

Taliya's POV

Chris, Allison, Lydia, and I are sitting on the bleachers waiting for the game to start. Chris is sitting on the outside with me beside him and on my right is Allison who is sitting beside Lydia.

"I'm happy you could make it." Lydia said cheerily.

"We got a personal invitation from one of the players, so we couldn't exactly skip it." Chris answered, confusing Lydia.

"The boy that ditched Allison at your party." Lydia hummed in recognition before focusing on me.

"I'm happy to see you again." Lydia said with a bright smile.

"Yeah, I didn't want to be alone so I tagged along." I answered quietly, getting a confused look from Chris, but he let it slide for now.

"What about Mrs. Argent?" Lydia questioned, causing me to start shaking in fear at the mention of her, thankfully Lydia is watching the field.

Allison reached her hand over and grasped my own that was trembling like a leaf, soothing me.

"She's not in the picture anymore, thankfully." Chris said, causing Lydia's head to turn his way. "She wasn't a good person, we only found out recently so that's still a heavy blow for us."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up something that hurts anyone." Lydia apologized quickly.

"It's fine, you didn't know." Allison said quietly, the low volume of her voice alarming Lydia more.

"Oh look, the teams are arriving on the field." I said to distract Chris and Allison from the memories they're going through.

We watched the disaster befall throughout the game, unable to do anything. It started with werewolf boy's team refusing to pass to him, then Lydia having Allison hold up a sign which supported Jackson, which I understand is Lydia's boyfriend but werewolf boy is in love with Allison so it angered werewolf boy further. With the anger, started the shift, he started showing more and more inhuman abilities throughout the game, including throwing the ball through the end of the opposing team's net-boy's stick. Chris and I were constantly glancing at each other in worry throughout the game until the end. After the werewolf boy made the winning shot he ran off the field and into the school, the bald boy on the bench chasing after him. Chris, Allison, and I are also going after him.

When we got into the school we went straight towards the locker room where I heard a scream, meaning bald boy was probably getting attacked. I kicked the door open without hesitation causing both boys' attention to fall on me which gave Allison the time she needed to grab bald boy and pull him out of the way before werewolf boy could pounce on him. When werewolf boy went for another lunge I punched him in the face before I grabbed his forearm and broke it. The werewolf boy howled in pain as his howl turned to a human scream. I released him after he became his normal self again before returning to Chris' side.

"You did good." Chris said while bald boy was staring at the three of us, soon joined by werewolf boy staring at us as well.

"You're the man that shot me." Werewolf boy said in surprise.

"I was aiming for the blue eyed werewolf, but he dodged causing you to be the one that got hit." Chris explained.

"So you're not trying to kill him just because he's a werewol?" The bald boy asked.

"No bald boy, Chris and his family have a code that they're supposed to follow." I answered quietly from beside Allison.

"And you, why are you so scared of seemingly everybody when you just kicked Scott's werewolf ass like it was a walk in the park?" The bald boy questioned, turning his full attention to me.

"That's not something any of us likes talking about." Chris said while taking the lead again. "Now, learn to control yourself, because the moment you kill somebody we'll have to kill you."

"Alright, I think we get it!" The bald boy said, raising his voice.

Allison, Chris, and I exited the locker rooms and headed for the parking lot.

"I think that went well." Allison commented.

"Now all we've got to worry about is if somebody noticed anything out of the ordinary and linked it to anything supernatural." Chris said from where he was walking.

"The way the other team member passed the ball directly to werewolf boy, I think he knew something wasn't human about him." I said and both Chris and Allison nodded in agreement.

"Well then, all we can really do is hope this doesn't come back to bite him later." Chris said with a sigh.

"I think he's been bitten plenty already, don't you?" Allison commented and Chris chuckled while I smiled a slight amount. "Let's get home, I'm tired."

"Same." I said with a sigh of exhaustion. "What do you think is gonna happen next?"

"I don't know, but I hope it isn't too bloody considering werewolves are involved." Allison said with a sigh and Chris groaned. "I just jinxed it, didn't I?"

"No, nothings gonna happen." I said reassuringly.

"And even if it does, it won't be your fault." Chris said after me. "But for the record, I agree with you."
