Dangerous Him.

chapter 8

"Settle down everyone!" Dylan shouted over the loud noise. It was funny how, just like that, everyone became silent. Some sat on the chairs and the others settled on the ground.

"As you all know now, David has found his mate. Claire Hanley." He looked at me when everyone started clapping. I could feel the blood slowly rising in my cheeks and I hid myself halfway behind David, who made me face the crowd with him, and he seemed pretty happy.

"Thank you everyone," David said "I don't know if you know this or not but Claire is a part werewolf." There were a lot of 'oohhs' and 'aahhs' "She is a direct decendant from Lucian Hanley, you all know his story of course." Then they all murmured 'yes.' "Claire has been going through a lot lately as you all know, that is why, pack midnight wants to start a war with us, they claim that Claire belongs to them, but we won't allow that now, will we?" As soon as everyone shouted 'yeah' and 'of course', David looked at me and smirked, his eyes telling me 'I told you so.' "If they want a war, then I will fight until my last breath, who's with me?" I started tearing up from the amount of agreements, the amount of people risking their own lives to fight for me.

"Can I say something?" I whispered to David and hushed the crowd.

"Hello everyone, I want to thank everyone willing to fight for me, I am not happy with that of course, I don't want to see anyone get hurt because of me but David told me that I will only waste my energy trying to convince you people to stand down," I smiled when a lot of people chuckled and said "true." But continued "I only have to say this one thing, whom ever has a family and whom ever I'd hesitant but thinks that it is his or her duty, then I tell you now, I don't want you to fight, I want you to stay with your families and protect yourself as well as them, and I would like to meet each and everyone one of you -it will be hard since there are like two hundre people here- but if I don't then I am more than willing to meet you all later. Thank you." I stepped down and everyone started clapping, I could see that some people are actually tearing up, did I say anything that hurt them?

"Well then, come on everyone, dig in." Dylan said.

"David?" I asked him. You know that awkward moment when someone keeps on staring at you and you have no clue about how to react?

"Hmm."

"Stop staring at me." I said shyly. He started laughing. Thanks.

"Sorry, come on, what do you want to eat?"

"Can we eat inside the house for a while? I don't want people interrupting us every five minutes." Because that is what has been happening since we arrived.

"Sure, you go in and I will grab some food and come."

"Okay." I headed towards the house, of course some people had to stop me, and I had no choice but to talk, a group of guys walked in on me and one of them said "hi Claire, I'm Tyler and this is Mark, Jack, Andrew and Alex." They all said hellos and I greeted them back "so, we just wanted to tell you that we are going to fight for you."

"You mean fight 'with' me." I am going to fight.

"Yeah, I'm not sure about that." He looked above my head and I knew that he was looking at David but what I didn't know is that David was right behind me.

"What's going on?" He startled me.

"I told you to stop sneaking on me like that. You know I can't hear properly."

"Why?" Tyler asked.

"Well, I umm, I temporarily lost my hearing in my left ear, I was hit pretty hard on that." They seemed all angry for some reason. Huh.

"Claire? Honey, I thought you said that you wanted to eat inside?" David asked.

"I do but you know, people want to talk to me." I said, hoping to lighten up the tension in the air.  

When I turned around to face the boys, I caught a glimpse of David giving them a warning look and mouthed 'smile', when I faced them,they all had huge smiles on their face, that's a bit of an exaggeration don't you think?

"If you'll excuse us boys." I said, speaking for myself and David.

"Of course, it was very nice meeting you Luna." Tyler said. The way he said 'Luna' was so bizarre, very respectful if I may add that it caught me off guard.

"The feeling is mutual." I took the most appealing plate from David's hand and held our free hands together as we headed to his house. Once we were in there I couldn't help but admire antiques and decorations.

"You have a beautiful house."

"It will be ours someday."

"If we live through this." God knows what might happen.

"Don't say that," he frowned "we will live through this, we will live in this house and we will have a future together." You wouldn't miss the determination in his eyes even if you were blind.

"Okay, let us eat then." I smiled and slowly settled on the couch.

"Here, let me help you." David put my plate and his on the table in front of us and helped me sit down.

"I feel like a pregnant woman." I looked at him and saw something in his eyes. Is that hope? He wants me pregnant?

"Someday honey, someday." We sat down in silence and ate, I was so hungry it's unbelievable.

"Are you done?" David asked me. I think so. I look down at my plate to find it completely empty, then I sheepishly said "I was hungry." David laughed and said "it's okay, you didn't eat anything since morning. Now it's time to take your medicine."

"Do I have to? It makes me tired." One of the side effects of this medicine is the fact that it makes me so lazy and tired.

"Yes you have too." No further discussion.

"Fine, give it to me." He placed the pills in my hand and got up.

"I'll get you some water."

"Okay, thanks."

"No problem." He is so cute when he tries having this serious expression. I drowned the whole cup of water into my mouth with the pills.

"Can I lay my head on your lap?" I asked.

"Of course honey, here." He pulled me down, it hurt very bad because my breathing hitched and my ribs seemed to close in on me. "Are you okay? Does it hurt?" He asked me.

"I'm fine, don't worry." Once I laid back down, everything became better. The drugs were having there effect on me after some time of laying there. I yawned and David stopped playing with my hair. "Sleepy?"

"Yes, let's stay..." And I was in my land of nightmares again.

* * * * * *

"Mum! Dad! Run! Leave! David!" I was having the same dream again.

"I'll come later! Just go!" I looked around this time to the faces lying on the ground, I can recognise them now and one of them was Tyler, the guy I met today. I felt anger boiling in my veins again when I looked to see Blaise sinking his teeth into David's leg.

"No!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, Blaise looked up and I saw fear in his eyes, I looked down to find paws instead of hands. White paws.
