My Vacant Heart

Chapter 6 - tumultuous situation

I was woken up by the smell of bacon, my eyes winced blinded before I could open them fully at the sun shining through the giant glass window which took up half the back wall of his lake house which now thanks to the sun I could see opened out onto a small lake, I rubbed my eyes and it suddenly dawned on me where I was, who I was with and what had happened, including the party. I was laid spread out on this sofa and slowly I curled my body towards me and sat up ,my head popped up over the sofa to get a good look at the kitchen behind me, I smelt the food before I saw what was on offer, eggs, bacon, pancakes plated and presented with cups of fresh tea or coffee, but no sign of tommy I turned my head left and right looking, I tried to get used to my ears as I pulled on them this morning, they hurt slightly but it seems they only worked when I didn't need them or I guess was nosey on a conversation, I pick myself up and stepped into the kitchen the note caught my eye first (Had to see my dad sorry, didn't want to wake you x) I clenched my jaw a bit peeved, but looked around at the fact he made me breakfast, I picked up a piece of bacon and went towards the front door munching on it, turning the handle its locked, what the fuck? I peered through the slim windows next to the door frame, his car was gone so I'm basically trapped here, I did want some of my own clothes to change into looking at just his shirt I'm wearing and because it's the weekend there was a 15% chance my parents were home and I could ask them questions, or get some information from my friends, I didn't even have my phone, I'd forgotten where I left it, I looked at the floor then the walls then the little table next to the door I take a last look in the bowl, there's another set of keys, car keys, I hover closer just as I thought they are car keys he must have a garage around here, I scoff of course he has a garage, I grab the keys and move into the middle of the lake house, my eyes glance over to the kitchen and I see a door nearly hidden by the double door fridge, funny I don't recall seeing that yesterday but then again I was just constantly staring at tommy I leap over the sofa with a smile and head towards it, the doors unlocked and I try to find some sort of light switch and press the first thing my hand touches to my delight the lights come on and I'm met with a 1970 Plymouth roadrunner GTX dark brown and black two toned paint job " oh . .gosh" I gasped in amazement, the next button next to the lights was the automatic garage door, I've pressed it and raced towards the car before the door could open all the way, sitting in that car, feeling the steering wheel, I only had a few lessons by law but my dad said I had the knack for driving when we drag raced and of course the illegal racing I actually do but I'm sure tommy wouldn't mind, I only needed clothes from my house then I'd be right back, I started the engine and could tell tommy had modified this, I revved it more then I should have but my god I did have a thing for cars tommy would have my head if he saw how I sped out the garage and skidded turning onto the only road to and from his lake house, once I got to the open road though I made sure I made it to 60mph in the 5 seconds it took that car, the window was down and I felt free again with the wind blowing my hair in every single direction, I wish I would of seen the car pop up at the side of me but I didn't, my attention was on a mysterious beeping I heard from the glove box, my head must have been turned for a second as a car ploughed into the side of me the next thing I knew I was blinking and saw a mix between broken wood from trees and different parts of the car, and smoke a lot of smoke, I saw my hands covered in blood for a second before I shut my eyes, I can't panic right now I tried to move, I was stuck, I couldn't move my wrist, I couldn't move my arm, my shoulder, leg , ribs I had broken nearly everything in the left side of my body, I could feel the concussion subsiding thanks to my healing abilities kicking in, I've wrapped round a tree I said in my head turning slightly to look " the other car" I said out loud while struggling to climb out my open window, I slumped out onto the forest floor and noticed I rolled the car at least 3 times before it wrapped around a tree and stopped, my wrist started clicking, finally I'm healing I thought with a sign of relieve, I winced at my shoulder popping back into place god the big bones always did hurt, I've looked down at my leg and felt my femur click into place and heal so I started stumbling towards the other car, I could make out it was a truck, looked old and the front was wrecked where the cars collided, the engine was hanging by a thread at how hard they hit me, but no one was inside and the truck doors wide open both sides too, I've rubbed my head and my nose caught the faint scent of wolves, but none I knew, it came from the truck at first then surrounded me, I felt my body go into shock finally, I'm in fucking trouble, I kept thinking, this wasn't an accident they hit me on purpose, I begin to back away from the scene one step at a time, faint moans of pain could be heard to my left and to my right, ok there's 2 I thought, so my best chance is to out run them, shifting was going to be painful as many of my injuries hadn't healed yet, but all I could think about was my life at this point because I could smell these wolves weren't friendly without thinking I ran, blood was dripping down my legs but I couldn't think of anything else but to run down the road I was going down towards town before I was side swiped, with one big lunge I shifted faster than I had done and landed in wolf form, I whimpered in pain and my back legs collapsed under me and was still bleeding from somewhere but I could get up to my full speed hopefully now, that thought ended with the glint of another wolf to my right, charging straight towards me and colliding with me head on, he gripped the side of my neck with his teeth and I've never howled in pain louder than I did, it echoed throughout the forest, the tackle took us both back into the woods and off the open road, and thankfully hitting a tree separated us, getting to my feet as fast as I could was hopeless because the second wolf had come after my back legs, now the scrap had started, I clawed and barked at him trying to get as close as possible to his neck and he did the same to me, his paws were bigger than mine, they both were male fucking great, in the end I was on my back pinned to the ground, one paw leaning on my throat the other by the side of my turning head nipping at anything could, this completely anchor grey wolf with a black tail had me, I saw the snarl as he bared his teeth while the other wolf trotted beside him, I only saw the flash of shadow black before the wolf on top of me was completely gone, looking further down still on my back, I heard the snap before I saw it, the reaction time of this black wolf was incredible as he was already coming for the second anchor grey wolf with black back legs with the first grey wolf still hanging from his jaw, my instincts kicked in as I saw the second grey wolf pause to think and for that split second, I scampered up and lock jawed into his back leg before he could run, while the midnight black wolf smashed into him, the force was enough to rip the muscle I had hold of clean off his leg, hearing the screaming howl that came off this grey wolf was unforgettable, the black wolf pinned the grey one to the floor and barked snarling at him baring every single tooth he had, I dropped the lump of meat out my mouth and just stood there, hearing police sirens in the distance but getting closer very fast, I began to panic and stumbled back a bit "Lacey just stay put, are you alright?" lowering my head and getting closer to get a good look and sniff " Cole" I answered softly, his teal eyes are now a dead give-away in his midnight black fur, the police cars skid past us in a screeching holt and officers start to get out, Cole violently barks while pressing the jugular of this convulsing grey wolf, I've lowered myself and laid down completely, seeing the controlled protocols of this towns police force was something to experience, small officers came first though the trees with riot shields while larger officers I'm guessing trolls or giants had shot guns type tranquilizers, Cole was still barking and let go of the grey wolf who was darted instantly, the shields police gathered around him, another van pulled up and more officers got out with poles and sheets,which became in a matter of seconds a hexagon tent around the grey wolf as he shifted back into human form ready for questioning because the medical elf police were entering the tent, Coles turned to face me and stepped towards me, my tail goes mad wagging like some sort of happy dog, I raise up once he's in front of me and lick his muzzle his eyes are as wide as mine as I'm asking myself why I've just done that?, a blanket gets tossed over Cole as I face the elf officer offering me a towel, seeing Cole shift looked like it wasn't difficult for him placing the blanket around his waistline meanwhile everyone still had to hear my bones break and shrink, before I could open my eyes Cole had place the towel around my shoulders and cupped my face making me look up at him " Are you ok!? You're not hurt are you ... God your bleeding" his panic voice says turning away from me "Medic" in quick response he's picked me up and carried me over to the ambulance, looking up at Cole carrying me, I leaned my head on his shoulder and smelt his neck, there it was the fresh forest smell, my body reacted and that caught Coles attention as he sat me down on the back of the ambulance, he knelt down in front of me and checked me over himself " I'm fine really" I said quietly, but the nice medical witch was already taking my rushing heart rate and had a swab to my head to stop where ever this blood was coming from, the normal chatter of police was interrupted by a powerful engine speeding towards us, the screech of the tires made me look pass Cole and see the familiar 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, tommy flew out furious, he was in a black t shirt and grey jogging bottoms with white trainers, he didn't even close his car door as he rushed pass the police putting up the Do Not Cross tape, he made a beeline for me, my eyes begged him not to make a scene as Cole was putting on spare clothes from a police trunk by the side of the ambulance next to me.
