Closest

Chapter 1 (Picture of Amy)

*

They were laying in their bed, calmly, slowly breathing. I couldn't understand why they were calm. I was sitting on a wooden chair, next to their bed, Rob was standing next to me, barely holding things together. I knew that boys hate to show emotions but he was crying. I was crying. We both know that we would lose them. Lose our parents.

My mother laid on my father's chest, obviously enjoying his good scent. She smiled at me calmly and put her hand on my cheek. I don't know how to live without them, especially my mum. More tears were running down my cheek but I couldn't stop them. I didn't wanted either. There were coming a million more and I had not the energy to think about something that pathetic like stopping tears and how I look when and after I cried.

There were laying there for forever now. It felt like an eternity but actually it were just a few hours. They came home yesterday, both bitten by a rogue who should already be dead because he was poisoned by a plant called monkshoods, which is toxic for werewolves like us. The plant kills you from the inside and after 24 hours you are dead. So my parents came home yesterday and noticed it quickly. The plant makes you weak. So we stayed near them and watched them. I don't know how it should go on with Rob and me but I can worry about our future somewhen else.

My dad said that he and mum would just pass away and it would look like they were sleeping. But they would never be. You could wake them up but they wouldn't respond to any of your calls.

I was looking out of my window, I haven't realized how much this town meant to me. But I had to left; I couldn't stay there. It was just too much memories. But finally I could see my brother again. The last years working and studying was all for him and my parents. I wanted to come back, successful and able to tell what I have done with my life. I just saw him the last eight years just twice because he had to take over the alpha duties of my father. The last time he visited me was five years ago, when he came to me to introduce me to Maddison, his mate. Well me and our grandparents, they seemed to be my parents after they accepted me living with them. I was really happy for him, having someone in his life now that knew him well and would be with him even in the hard times.

"Please Amy you can't leave! I can't get through this without you! Please!"

He tried to convince me, but I had made my decision. I could not stay here. I couldn't look at any picture, any relative who's tried to light me up and said sorry for my loss. I couldn't plan the funeral. I watched them die, be happy that I even talk to you and not close myself forever.

"Rob, you have to be here because you are the heir but I know when you would had a chance you would run away like me." I looked at him and put my hand on his chest.

"Please, I can't stay here, everything reminded me of them and I am not ready for that. I am leaving my friends behind me, the town and even you. Do you think that is easy for me?" I questioned him. It sounded meander than I intended but he didn't seem hurt. He just looked sorry, broken.

"I know it's not easy, but we will get through this! We can demolish the house and build a new one! A bigger pack house! We inherit all the money from mum and dad and we can live with that! Please I dont want to be alone..." He looked sadly to the ground.

"You won't be alone. You can visit me and our grandparents don't live that far away. And you're twenty years old now, a grown man, you are a werewolf for two years now and you are dad's son, you will be a great alpha! You will be able to find you're mate next year and you don't know, maybe it's Cara? Or Vicki? You don't know, so man up Robert you can get that!"I tried to convince him, or maybe myself a little bit too.

I fell guilty for leaving him and everything behind. It felt not right, but I had to do it.

"If I even find my mate..." Rob said lost. "Sebastian still hasn't found his mate and he is forty one, what if its happening to me as well?" He asked me worriedly. "It won't, I promise! I will organize a huge party when you found your mate and I promise you she will come soon. Alphas find they mates earlier than others, because their mates make them stronger, more powerful but also vulnerable. They make them a better person." I looked in his eyes. He looked at me like he knew that I had to convince myself too.

"You're seventeen Amy, where do you get all that wisdom from?" He asked me amused. A little spark appeared in his blue eyes. I looked at him stunned, that was his first real smiled for days. "Look there it is, there's you're smile! You haven't lost it Rob! The luck will come to you someday soon!"

He smiled at me tiredly. "Ok well you are going to leave whatever I say right? So promise me you call me every week at least once, I don't want to leave the only family .... "He cleared his throat and corrected himself after I raised my brows.

"The only one that I have a blood connection with." He looked in my eyes. Even if we always were annoyed from each other, Rob was a great brother. He was brave and strong, protective and friendly. "I will visit you next year when you got eighteen and started to turn yourself into a wolf" he looked at me with that worried-parent-look. "It's going to be ok, everything's going to be alright. I will come back in a few years, I promise."

Hey there,

So I have started a new story because this idea crept in my head a few weeks ago and I thought it was brilliant so I wrote it down. I forgot until I found that note today and decided to upload it as soon as possible. So this is a deeper and more beautiful story than the rest of my stories.

The girl on the side is most fitting for the role of Amy Harris, you may know her: she is famous for her role in game of thrones, her name is emilia clarke.

These (*) mean that this is were the flashback starts or ends for all the mobile readers

So I hope you comment and vote
