A murder in the mountains

Stay with me

Clouds rolled over the sky thick and black. A lighting bolt came down causing part of the cliff to fall down into the thrashing ocean below. I heard the deep growl of an alpha and began to run the opposite way. A lighting bolt had stuck tinging the edge of the dress I was wearing, it was a murky blue that had been cut and torn at the edges, it flowed behind me.

The ground was hard and rocky, the air was thick dusty and blew like a tornado. only being able to see a meter in front of me I ran from the on coming wolves but had to stop at the edge of the cliff. My hair thrashed across my face making it very hard to see anything apart from the dried up dirt ground. A voice echoed through my head saying 'give up, you know you are an abomination to wolf kind, just give in and let us stop your pain' I looked down at the unsettled water below thinking if it would be a better way to die than being tortured to death. I gulped down my fear and stepped forward my first foot was hanging in the air ready to be followed by the other. I leaped, my body was air born for less than two seconds before I hit the water and was thrown around like a rag doll, it was all dark I couldn't see anything but I could feel something shaking me as if to try get me to wake up.

"RINA!!! RINA WAKE UP ITS JUST A DREAM!!!" I heard a familiar voice scream in my ear. my eyes shot open and I was back in my bedroom. 'It was all just a dream' I told myself but it felt so real. My eyes watered up and before I could stop my self I was crying in Mat's arms.

"It-it felt so r-ea-eal"

" I know, but it was just a dream" he said hugging me tighter.

"Will you stay with me?" I asked feeling kinda silly cause he was my guardian or what ever.

He replied by dropping himself on my bed and letting me cry into his chest. Sleep soon took over me as my eyes drifted shut.

Shards of light ran through the curtains as I opened my eyes. I blinked a couple times before remembering what happened last night, alarmed I looked beside myself but pleasingly only saw the other side of the room.

I got up and had a shower.

I chucked on some leggings and a grey shirt and walked out to the sitting room.

A strong waft of bacon eggs and sour dough bread filled my nostrils as I walked toward the kitchen.

A man with a black V neck shirt stood at the stove flipping eggs and burning bacon.

"Your burning the bacon" I said to Mat who was oblivious to the charcoals bacon.

"Ahh, damn it" he said tipping out all the bacon from the pan and practically throwing the eggs on a plate. I sat on a bench stool awaiting my burnt bacon and under cooked eggs.

"Um Bon-appetite" he said unsure if I was going to eat it or not.

"A: room service was invented for a reason

B: you have to much oil in the pan

And C: you have egg in your hair." I stated one by one as a list.

Finding the nearest phone I dialled for room service and ordered an egg and bacon roll and a pie, and no the pie was not for me it was for Mat.

The room service was delivered with in five minutes and was eaten within two.

"You are going to start school tomorrow, I enrolled you to a boarding school" he said with a mouth full of pie.

"WHAT!!!!" I screamed.'what was he thinking that is what got me caught last time, although I didn't actually get caught' I argued with myself then came to the conclusion that I would not attend the school I already passed year twelve even if it was when I was sixteen.

"I'm not going" I said plainly stabbing the role with my fork.

I finished my role which tasted like heaven compacted into bread and bacon and washed my plate. I know that the hotel has its own cleaning maids but I like to make it easier for people not that it's gonna make a huge difference but I still think a small difference helps.

I put the clean plaits and cutlery in piles and put them on the table in the entrance for the maids to pick up.

I retreated to my room were I browsed for colleges in Russia that take someone with a O.P. From another country and found one but they don't do scholarships but the entry fee is 8,000 euros so I sent an email translated to Russian. The email said

'Dear Cainstream university I would employ you to read this letter and get back to me.

I am Zarina Bourke and I have a O.P. 1 (from France but an Australian course)

I do courses in creative writing, history, mythology and in particular mythological history.

Cainstream university would find it in their best interest to give me a full scholarship in all my classes and a promise of private dorm.

You will find that I have connected a file with all my grades through out all my schooling years above the age of twelve.

Yours sincerely Zarina Bourke.'

I realised it was short but all universities despise someone who writes to much and I know that they would contact me back once I've sent the email.

After I sent the email I browsed online for cheap but good cars.
I found a small mint green beetle looking thing not sure what type of car though but it was only for €40,000 which I think is cheap.

I shut my laptop, and put some socks on.
I then ran down the hall and skidded half the distance, I repeated this four or five times before Matt walked in.
I tried walked up to him but I slipped over in the process. I was falling forward but before I hit the ground I was caught in something that felt like two well built and toned arms and sure enough,
"Matty"I whined.
"You need to be more careful on these floors they are obviously slippery, would you like me to interrogate them for you" he asked sarcastically.
"Well" I sorted but was cut off by the door bell chiming.

"Room service" a young male voice yelled.

"Did you order anything" I whispered to Matt.
"I was honestly about to ask you the same thing."
"Maybe if we stay quiet he will leave?" I said more in a questioning tone.
"No he will take it as a time to snoop" he said helping me off the ground because I slipped over again.

"COMING!!!" He yelled at the top of his voice.
"Jeez can you yell any louder" I whispered sarcastically to Matt.
"Go hide in your bathroom" he said pushing me towards the bedroom ensuite.

I slid through the gap in the door not wanting to move it any more open.
A cup was sitting on he bench to I grabbed it and held it to the wall with three mm of water in it to make it echo but instead it poured out, so I just held my ear up to it and listened in. What I heard was shocking.
