An American Werewolf in London.

Chapter Twelve

After about an hour of rough...well, he figured to Ellie it wasn't "love" making but to Jackson it was, they both laid under the covers. He held her from behind, brushing her loose hair back from out of her face. Ellie looked at Jackson, sighing softly."I really should go.."She said, though she didn't move. Jackson chuckled, his head rested in the crook of her neck."Too exhausted to move after all of that?"He teased, laughing as she playfully smacked him. He kissed the back of her shoulder, watching her as she stood up."So where are you going to tell them you've been at?"He asked, keeping his eyes on her as she dressed. After she had her dress on she turned to look at him, shrugging slightly."I'll just tell 'em I spent the night at my brother's. They know I do that sometimes, so it should be easy to get by with."Jackson nodded briefly, yawning slightly."So what are you doing tonight?"He asked as he sat up on the bed."You mean what are we doing tonight."He looked at her confused."We didn't even make any plans.."He trailed off, trying to remember if he had infact invited her to do anything. She sat on the bed, shaking her head."No, you didn't make these plans. X did. You're going to meet him tonight. He wants to fill you in on everything that's going on around here."Ellie said as she leaned on his shoulder. Jackson rested his head against hers, sighing as she stood up. She walked to the door, turning to look at him before she exited."Carter will be here at six to get you. Be ready to go. Dress casual, never know what's gonna happen."Ellie said, leaving the flat before Jackson could even question what she meant. He looked at the time, seeing it was only noon."Great. I can get some rest before meeting my new alpha, who just happens to be the girl I'm falling in love with's protective ex-boyfriend."He mumbled aloud, falling back, only to shoot right back up with his eyes wide open."Did I just say in love?"He asked himself, taking in a deep breath. No. He couldn't be falling in love with Ellie. Well he could, but it would ruin everything. And he would not let that happen. He laid back on the bed, taking in a deep breath."Everything will be okay. Nobody's going to find out and you're going to get satisfaction."He assured himself, saying it in his mind until he fell asleep. 

Jackson look around, confused as to how he had gotten into the living room. There was a soft, slow music playing in the back ground. He stood up and began to walk around, feeling a tap on his shoulder. As he turned around, he was confused."Ellie? What are you doing here?"He asked, her finger pressed against his lips seconds later."Just enjoy the time we have, don't ruin it by talking."She whispered, wrapping her arms around his neck, standing on his feet lightly. He wrapped his arms around her waist, moving with the music. Her head was rested in the crook of his neck, his head rested against hers. They stayed that for minutes, only to be innerupted by a loud growl that was seeming to get closer. Both of their heads jerked up and looked around."What was that?"Jackson asked. Ellie looked up at him, her eyes filled with tears."Go Jackson. Get out of here."She yelled, a pounding sound coming from the door."No! I'm not leaving you here."Jackson protested, stumbling backwards as she pushed him away."Get the hell out!"She screamed, the door bursting open seconds later. A large creature with glowing red eyes grabbed her by the back of the neck, lifting her up in the air. Jackson felt himself go into wolf mode seconds later."Let her go."He growled, the Alpha staring him down. Seconds later, the Alpha was now back into human form, though he was still holding Ellie, his large hand wrapped around her small neck. Jackson could tell she was struggling for air."Let her go, X."Jackson repeated, moving closer. Xavier only laughed, the sound disgusting to Jackson's ear."Why? She's just a whore. A whore who caused you to lose your life and hers."X explained, his claws slashing Ellie's throat open as the last words came out of his mouth. Jackson howled, running at X as Ellie's now lifeless body fell to the ground. Her blood poured out, the smell filling the air. Jackson tackled X into the wall, though he was flipped around seconds later. Jackson head butted him, causing the Alpha to stumble backwards. Before he knew what hit him, Jackson was on the ground, trapped by the Alpha that was sitting on top of him. X drew his claw back, ready to rip Jackson's throat open. Before he could do it, everything went black.

Jackson jolted upright in the bed, his breathing heavy and unsteady as someone knocked up the door. He ran his hand over his throat, letting out a sigh of relief."Thank God, it was just a dream. Everything's okay. Ellie is okay."
