darkest hour

CHAPTER 9

Beth's pov:

I woke up to find myself all chained to the bed.  I tried moving but it was impossible. Tori walked in with a small smile on her face.

"what happened yesterday" she asked and I shrugged.

"I don't know, we were talking and I realized that I couldn't breathe well anymore, then he told me he had wolf's bane in his car and..."

"wait, why did he have wolf's bane in his car?" she asked, interrupting me.

"for security reasons-at least that's what he told me"

"but why wolf's bane of all-"

"tori, I really have no idea. Anyway what happened here" I asked gesturing to my room that now resembled a dumpster.

"well, you kinda shifted almost immediately you stepped into the house, so I got Stefan's help in chaining you to the bed, cuz you were really out of it, but I think that was because the wolf's bane caused the shift. You were really wild though and didn't listen to anything I said and I even had to lie to the conceited prince when he came by and I even-"

"wait, raph was here last night?" I asked.

"yup, but he didn't see you though, I told him you weren't back yet" she said.

"he was really here?" I asked again, still not believing.

"yes, and he was worried too"

"tori, hand me my cell phone".

"umm... You kinda chewed it along with every other thing in your purse" she said and I shierked.

"what! Why did you let me do that"

" how was I supposed to know you would come back home in your wolf for after leaving all Sexy last night." she said and I signed. She had a point there.

"where's Stefan?" I asked after a while.

"he's probably downstairs. Why?"

"I need to apologize to him"I said getting off my bed.

"oh so Stefan gets an apology but I don't?" she asked playfully.

"we're one aren't we? I can't possibly be apologizing to myself now can I?"

"you should be lucky am nice enough to let it slide" she said a few I smiled.

" I'll be back in a giffy" I said.

"you better, am dying to know everything that happened last night" she said laying on my bed.

"when I woke up this morning and you didn't start your day by asking me questions about last night, I was a bit surprised, give me a minute"I said before shutting the door behind me.  I went downstairs and into the kitchen where I saw Stefan shirtless, which isn't exactly his dress code. You'd never see him shirtless, not even if it was like a hundred and twenty degrees outside.

"hey" I said, taking a sit on the counter.

"your up" he said and I nodded.

"what's with the shirtlessness?" I asked and he shrugged.

"just attending to a few wounds"

"was there a fight I didn't know about?" I asked crossing my hands over my chest.

"not at all, I had no idea how strong you were, so I tried chaining you to your bed but ended up autographing my body with your claws." he said handing me a plate of steak.

"oh... Sorry" I apologized.

"it was nothing, am used to it.

"Am sorry all the same... Did it scar?" I asked then mentally slapped myself.
