Wolf Bite

Chapter 6

Alec's POV
I wanted to go check and see if Savannah and that Braydon guy were alright, but Ella told us not to disturb them. So I tried to distract myself by thinking about everyone here.

Haley was still the happy bubbly person she was when she was in grade 8.

Savannah was still a hard-core, metal-head with dyed hair, and thankfully she had gotten over her depression. That Braydon person seemed to help.

Braydon seems like a nice guy when he isn't pissed off. And he's scary when he's pissed. It's like six foot six inches of muscle, and when that's mad... But Savannah and sometimes even Ella manage to keep him in check.

Cole is still Cole, my brother, annoying and still madly in love with Haley. I don't get why he won't ask her out.

And Ella. I guess I like her a bit. I don't know. She's just so nice and commanding-ish. It's kind of hard to not like her. She's sweet to everyone and makes sure everyone is included. I'm just confused about her.

Just when I was about to say screw it I'm going to check on those two. They walked out of the room grinning tiredly at each other. They saw me and Savannah smiled and said "Hey Alec, where's Ella and the rest of them?" I shook my head at them and said "In the kitchen making food, follow me." And walked in the direction of the kitchen. They followed me into a mess.

Cole was trying to cook.

There was some goopy stuff on the floor and the counter was covered with food and equipment and burnt toast or something like it.

Savannah laughed and charged in, jumping on Ella's back. The taller woman stumbled a little but caught herself and spun around laughing at her best friend. Then Haley and Cole came towards me, laughing as they tackled me. We fell on the floor in a heap, me on the bottom. Braydon walked in slowly, and quietly snuck up behind Savannah and Ella.

Savannah squealed when Braydon picked her up first then Ella and pulled them over to out pile and dropped them beside.

He grinned maniacally and pointed at the pile of people.
Ella got his meaning and shouted out, "DOGGY PILE ON ALEC!" And rushed forward, pulling Braydon and Savannah with her. I groaned when the extra weight was added and tried to push up, but together they were like 500 pounds.

I grunted "Okay, okay, I give up, please get off, you're gunna squish my face into the floor."

They all laughed and got up carefully.
I still sat on the floor and rubbed my head until Ella came over and picked me up by my shoulders and set me on my feet. Which made no sense, I was like 175 pounds and she just walked over and pulled me up with absolutely no help from me.

"What the fuck! How'd you do that?" I asked her.

She just shrugged "I try to work out, I'm weird that way. But so does Braydon and Savannah goes to kick-boxing, so I'm not the only one" Then she turned to her cooking. I frowned, she was obviously uncomfortable with that topic so I decided not to push, she would probably stab me.

********

Later that night Haley had suggested a movie night so we all picked our favourites and sat down to watch all six of them.

On the big couch Haley and Cole snuggled, Savannah and Braydon stole some blankets and took the floor, while me and Ella had to sit uncomfortably on the smaller couch. We were watching Lord of the Rings, Haley's choice. I actually kind of enjoyed it.

Savannah, Braydon and Ella each chose a horror movie, so I spent like six hours scared shitless. And then it was my turn. I don't really watch movies that often so this was kind of a hard choice, finally I just had to pick something, so I said,
"Ummm, how about... Um, Jupiter Ascending?" I said, I remember watching it when I was little and not understanding it so maybe this time.
