Running from Fate

It's Time

I couldn't help but feel angry and sad all in one motion. We made it this far, we were living in peace.

Luke was staring at me waiting for me to say something. I just stared at the ground, I wasn't ready for this.

" Anna..." He snapped me out of my thoughts.

" How did they find us ? We were super careful ! We made it this far ! I am sick and tired of running Luke ! I'm tired of hiding my identity ! I'm tired of getting close to people, only for me to leave !" My voice was cracking, i was almost in tears.

" I just want things how they were"

Luke approached me, embracing me in a hug. He felt so worm and i can smell his strong cologne. His white soft hands were rubbing my back, calming me down.

" I feel the same way, but Anna we have to go if we want to continue to live. My main priority is your safety, we don't have much time. Don't give up on me now, continue to fight... You're the only thing i have left Anna"

He was right. I needed to stop throwing a fit, and get my shit together. I pulled away from him, then gave him a reassuring look telling him i was ready.

" How much time ?"

" 2 hours. We have to get our stuff and go, were heading up north"

Knowing what to do, i dashed to get my stuff. When Luke meant ' Get our stuff ,' he didn't mean packing cloths nor shoes. He meant to pack out guns and knives, also getting our food supply ready. This is our way of life, and there is nothing we can do but run and kill.

2 years ago, my pack was slaughtered by one of our own members. His name was Kai, and he loved me but I didn't love him. He wanted me, but no one allowed it, so it drove him insane. He swore we were mates but i didn't feel it, I didn't feel that love or lust for him. Since he couldn't have me, no one could so he killed the pact leaving me and Luke alive. It was my birthday that day, and me and Luke snuck out from my party my parents made for me, everyone in the pact was there. So when me and Luke came back , it was to late.

Ever since then we left the pact, we moved on. We even joined a neighboring pact who held open arms to us, but that died fast. Kai has men backing him up into finding us, i don't know how but he got people helping him. Him and his men attacked our newly found pact, within 7 months on the incident. His men nearly killed majority of the pact, leaving 14 to live. Guilt over came me again, if we never would of went to that pact, those people would of never been killed. I can never forgive myself for this, it was my problem to begin with not theirs.

Kai is toying with my life. Me and Luke goes somewhere, and right when we feel comfortable, when we get attached to people, he kills it. He has his men ruining towns and city's just to find us... To find me. It always happens the 7 month, he is just toying with us, its as if he loves to see me run. Well I hate it.

I constantly lie to people, especially the ones I'm close to. We hide our identity every time we move, this time i was Tori and Luke was Ryan. I couldn't tell people me and Luke were brother and sister , he is white and i'm black, no one would believe it. So we came up with this lie that i was adopted into the family, people didn't question it, and when they did i told them i didn't want to talk about it, and they left it at that.

" Anna it's time !"

I swiftly grabbed our suite cases of all our materials, we just travel with whatever cloths we have on, we buy some later on. I tossed everything in the back of the truck, once i was done Luke quickly starts the car. I hoped in, then we were off.

20 minutes in the car and it was dead silent. I didn't want to talk, I just wanted to rest. Knowing Kai is probably tracking us, kept me on high alert.

" Look Anna i know you're upset. I know you're tired of running, but we have to. The two of us against the rest of them we stand no chance, we already tried. I rather die then see that son of a bitch have you". As he was talking he was looking at me, clenching his his at the thought of Kai.

" I know, but will this honestly be our life ? Running from a crazed man ? Hiding from his pack of wolves ? Getting close to people only for us to run and not say goodbye ? Is this what were going to do forever ?"

" If thats what it takes to live, then so be it".

I couldn't look at him, but i know he was looking at me. We have two different view points of this, not seeing eye to eye. He believed we had to do anything to stay alive, even if it means lying and people getting hurt. He hated the fact people are getting hurt, but whatever it takes to protect me, thats his survival instinct kicking in. I of course want to survive, but i don't want no more people getting involved. My emotions get the best of me, i care way to much then i should. In the begging we said not to get attached, it only causes trouble for people, but of course i manage to and the end results are bad. Losing myself in my thoughts, i noticed something on the side of our window, I doubled check to only see a gray wolf

Shit it's them
