The Female Marine

Chapter 3

Ava's P.O.V

I woke up from bed sweating from another nightmare.This one was worse than the others.I sat their and cried until I got too tired.I got up,still crying and walked to Athan's room.See last night he gave me my own room.I found his door slightly ajar,a sliver of light shining through.I quickly ran in to find him on his laptop."AH!!" He screamed and shut it.I sniffle and run over to him."What happened?Why are you crying?" He asks.I just crawl into his bed and snuggle against him."Nightmares" I mumble.He just nods and puts his arms around me."Shhhh,It's ok,I'm here" He whispers sweet nothings in my ear until I drift peacefully into sleep.

Athan's P.O.V

I was on my laptop currently doing nothing,just surfing the web when someone runs into my room.It's Ava,with tears running down her face."AH" I scream and shut my laptop.I set it on my bedside table.She sniffles and runs over to to me."What happened? Why are you crying?" I ask her.She just mumbles,"Nightmares" She says.About what?,I think to myself.I put my arms around her and whisper "Shhhh,It's ok,I'm here". I whisper sweet nothings in her ear until she falls asleep.I gently lay down in the bed and turn off the light.I snuggle up against her wrapping my arms around her protectively.I lay there thinking about what she had nightmares of and how sad and scared she looked.I growled at the thought.She gently snuggled closer to me and I smiled.*Remember,she's not your mate,so do not mate with her* Cole says."Yeah I know" I snort.He rolls his eyes.I sigh and close my eyes and after a short while I drift off to sleep.

Ava's P.O.V

I wake up,this time peacefully.I yawn and get up,well try to at least.I am stuck because something strong and hard is holding me down.I roll over to find Athan snuggling against me.I try to wiggle out but it's no use."Athan,Athan let me go,I want to get up" I say.He growls and pulls me closer.He pulls me a little to tight,and my bruise starts to ache."Ouch!" I yelp.He opens his eyes and lets me go."Oh my gosh,are you okay?Did I hurt you?" He says in worry.I rub my side,"No you just pulled a little to hard" I say."Sorry" He says.I laugh and look at him.His hair is all messy and his eyes are not fully awake.That's when I notice that he doesn't have a shirt on.It doesn't bother me because all of the time in the marines we had to change in front of our comrades,male and female."Oh yeah sorry" He says."It's fine" I say.I stretch and yawn."Thanks" I say getting up."For what?" He says."Last night, was scared and.......well......Thanks" I smile at him and go in the bathroom.I come back out  to find him undressing,nothing new.He's about to change his boxers when he notices me."oh,like the show" He says with a smirk."I mean,I've seen better" and I wasn't lying,my friend Cade was the most ripped person I'd ever seen and not in a gross veiny way,more like a great six pack and muscles and jaw line type way.His smirk leaves and he turns away continuing to change,just not his boxers."Hey Adain-" "Athan" He growls."Sorry,Athan,do you know where my suitcase is,I wanna change" I ask."Yeah It's in my car" He says.Putting on shoes."Oh well,I'm gonna go get them." I say."Not alone" He says and stands up,now all dressed.He has on a pair of blue jeans a white t-shirt,black boots and a leather jacket."You look like a biker from one of those old movies" I say putting on my shoes."No I don't" He replies,laughing."Sureee" I say.We walk down to the front door and go out to get my suitcase.We arrive at his little black Chevrolet Tahoe (Yes,not every werewolf drives an expensive ass car). I open the back door and grab my suit case and my little backpack,yes I had one.I grab them and shut the door.I walk with Athan back into the house and up to the room.I grab some clothes out of the case before I go into the bathroom.I quickly hop in the shower and get out.I dry my hair and body and then get dressed.I put on a tight black tank top along with tight high-waisted black jeans,some furry tan combat boots and a long black hoodie that goes down to my waist.I then put on my daisy ring,my triangle ring,and a gold with black spikes rings.I look at my hand tattoo and pull up my hoodie and shirt.I have four tattoos (I couldn't find a marine tattoo so that's why it's not in the picture above.),a gun just below my armpit,a arrow and rings on my hand,angel wings on my wrist and a quote on my hip that says "Throw me to the wolves,I'll return leading the pack". I take a brush and brush my long black hair.I leave it down and to the side.I then put on some dark red lipstick and some cover up,some tan eye-shadow that's one shade lighter than my skin and some black eyeliner and mascara.I sigh and pick up my clothes,walking out of the bathroom.I stuff my dirty clothes back into my suitcase.I sigh and look around for Athan,I find him staring at me from a chair."Hey" I say. "Hey" He says."Great conversation,anyways I have to you know leave and go back home so......" I trail off."What?No you can't leave" He says. "Why can't I?" I ask."Just.....because okay" He replies."No not okay,I want to go home I haven't seen my parents for 4 years,okay I would like to get back" I yell. "Well you're not,so,and why haven't you seen the for so long?" He asks. "Because I le-" I stop myself before I tell this man,whom I barely know,my secret.I sigh and pick up my backpack and suitcase."Look,you can't stop me,I'm leaving no matter what" I say and walk to the door.Athan suddenly appears in front of me."You.Aren't.Leaving,and that's final" He says."And who's gonna stop me?" I ask."I am," He says,"Sorry" He says sincerely before he tries to pick me up,keyword tries.Before he can pick me up I raise my hand and hit him in the throat with the side of my hand.He staggers back,gasping for air."I'm.Leaving,and that's final" I say.He growls and lunges at me.I throw my suitcase at him which doesn't seem to do much.I jump out of the way and land on the bed."Just let me go" I yell.He suddenly stops and whines."You can't leave" he whispers,sounding defeated.I sigh,"I'm sorry,but-" I suddenly have a bright idea."Hey!" I yell."What?" he says walking over and sitting on a chair across from me."What if I take you with me,you can meet my parents" I say."I'll just tell them you're one of my work buddies" I say.He shakes his head no."No way,I barely even know you" He says."Fine stay here,by yourself" I say and grab my stuff.He grabs my arm and pulls me back."All right,I'll go" He says smiling.I smile,"Good,now get packed.About half an hour later he's packed and ready to go."Ready?" I say to him as he walks down the stairs."Ready" He says.We walk out the door,he locks it,and we make our way to the car.We put our stuff in the back seat and get in the car.I sit in the drivers seat."Let's go" I say and start the car.After about 1 hour of getting lost and arguing about where we were,we finally arrived.The house was a nice sized modern house,with light blue exterior walls and big clear windows along with some white trim on the roof and corners.I pull up into the driveway.We get out and grab our stuff.We close the door and walk up the path to the big white front door.I knock on the door,waiting for it to open.It finally is thrown open and their stood two very sad looking people.They look up at me and their expressions drastically change."AVA!!!!" my mom yells and pulls me into a hug.My dad joins the hug and hugs us tight.We eventually pull away.My mom has tears in her eyes,so does my dad."M dad is your average American man,great smile,nice soft brown hair,not to long,not to short,with big blue eyes and light tan skin,he was also a very good handyman.My mother was also the normal American mother,beautiful,with her shoulder length bronze hair and big brown eyes,along with nice tan skin,she was also a great cook."Why didn't you tell us you were coming?" My mom asks."Well I was but I kinda got into a situation" I say looking at Athan,he ran me over.They follow my gaze to Athan and smile."Oh,and who's this" My Dad says."Mom,Dad this is Athan my-" "Boyfriend?" My dad says.I glare at him,"Buddy from work" I say.He smiles and then laughs."Oh" He says."Hi nice to meet you" Athan says shaking my dads hand and giving them the most charming smile ever.My mom gives me a "why aren't you dating yet?" look.I just shake my head and smile.He introduces himself and then shakes my mom's hand."Hi,I'm Athan Heart,I live down a few miles and my family won't be back for a while so I decided to come with Ava since she invited me." He says."Oh you poor baby" My mom says and pushes us both in the house."Dave,get their luggage" my mom says to my dad."Yes master" He says jokingly and takes our stuff.My mom drags us both to the kitchen and sits us down next to each other.She then takes out some food and pretty soon is shoving food down our throats.My dad eventually returns and we all sit at the table."So Ava,what did you mean by situation?" My mom asks.I swallow a bite of my food and nervously reply,"Um okay don't be mad but um,well I was walking down the street and had no idea that Athan had been released as well and I was walking across the street when I heard a sound and then I got distracted but when I looked back a car was coming,I got hit by it and it turned out to be Athan,so long story short he hit me,I stayed at his house for a day then we came her." I say gasping for air.They just sit their with their mouths open wide.Athan swallows nervously."Uhh,Well as long as you're okay" my mom says."Young man if you hit my daughter again-" "You'll kill me,but I promise that I won't" He says."No I won't but I was going to say that she will" He says.Athan looks at me in disbelief.I smirk and then we talk some more getting to know more about each other."Well mom,dad I think it's time for bed" I say after a while of talking."Okay honey,well get some sleep,we've set up a cot in your room for Athan since our guest room is now your mothers painting room" My dad says."It's not my fault I have artistic talent" She replies.Me and Athan say good night before we go to my room.Athan goes over to his cot and takes off his shirt changing into some shorts and that's it.I just take off my hoodie and makeup and pants and rings.I am left in my boy shorts and my tight tank top.Athan looks at me in shock,I just shrug.I then crawl into my bed before Athan lays in his cot.I hear him tossing and turning."Will you stop,I'm trying to sleep." I complain."I'm sorry,but this cot is to small" He says.I sigh and pull up the blankets behind me."Come on" I say.I hear him crawl over and before long the bed sinks and A body is pressed against mine.I feel his arms wrap around me and I feel his breath on my neck."So,what did you think of my parents today?" I ask him."They were pretty cool,a little weird but nice" He says."I'm glad you liked them,I get the feeling my mom wanted me to date you though" I say to him smiling."Probably,she kept looking at me like I was a piece of meet" He says.I laugh."It's not funny I was truly scared,she might've eaten me" He says and laughs along with me."See I told you It was funny" I say."I'll remember that next time you get looked at like meat" He says."Well,that'll never happen" I say."Yeah it will"He says."whatever" I say and we fall asleep.
