New Beginnings

Chapter Eleven

(Layton's POV)

Eric and Jayce came running into the room like they did the day Scarlett ran away.

"Alpha," Eric said "Scarlett disappeared again"

Standing up from behind my desk I walk closer to him. "What do you mean she disappeared?" I asked

It was a weird feeling of déjà vu.

"She went and put her hand on this young Wolf that was with her and then they were gone." Jayce said.

I pinched the bridge of my nose. Liam wasn't a Wolf. I should have known no Wolf shifts younger than thirteen.

"Very well, search the territory." I order. I was not letting my mate get again from me.

(Scarlett's POV)

Liam and I walked around the corner to see that Eric and Jayce went to Layton thinking that I'd disappeared again. I could only use that kind of magic to one person at a time but when the rest of my powers come in I'll be able to do it to a group of people.

'Mom, Layton's going to be angry' Liam mind links.

'I know but while he's busy looking for his not so runaway mate . . .' I trail off I didn't know what I wanted to do I still needed a run but everyone going to be outside looking for me. I want to be inside so I don't get caught.

I only had a couple of hours before Layton goes crazy. The funny thing is he'll be able to smell me I'm not covering up my scent.

'I know Liam shift back we're going exploring!'

After Liam was but in human form and dress we started walking around the house being careful not to get caught still. We open every door we passed by most of them were empty room with a bed and a dresser. We found a couple of bathrooms too. A kitchen was four doors down from the room I was staying in and a bathroom was two doors right from that.

We found a game room filled with a couch, TV, games for an Xbox, a pool table and that was about it. We found an art room with art supplies. That's when I saw it. The door was at the end of the hall and either Liam or I opened the door.

I walk towards it and threw the door open. A music room there was a piano in the middle of the room, a guitar, and some other musical instruments around the room.

I was only interested in the violin, guitar, and piano. My reaction was the same when I saw the library earlier. Liam smiled at me.

"Go play I think we've seen the whole house by now."

It's probably true we've been looking at rooms for hours and nobody come back.

Pulling out my phone I picked a song for Liam to sing as I played. Before I stopped talking I loved to play music and sing.

I start playing and Liam follows behind with the lyrics.

This is gospel for the fallen ones

Locked away in permanent slumber

Assembling their philosophies

From the pieces of broken memories

Oh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart

Oh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart

The gnashing teeth and criminal tongues conspire against the odds

But they haven't seen the best of us yet

If you love me let me go

If you love me let me go

'Cause these words are knives that often leave scars

The fear of falling apart and the truth be told, I never was yours

The fear, the fear of falling apart

Oh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart

Oh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart

This is gospel for the vagabonds

Ne'er – do – wells, insufferable bastards

Confessing their apostasies

Lend away by imperfect impostors

Liam came and sat on the bench to the piano with me. He continued to sing the song knowing it was one of my personally favorites.

Oh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart

Oh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart

Don't try to sleep through the end of the world

Bury me alive

'Cause I won't give up without a fight

If you love me let me go

If you love me let me go

'Cause these words are knives that often leave scars

The fear of falling apart and the truth be told, I never was yours

The fear, the fear of falling apart

Oh, the fear of falling apart

Oh, the fear, the fear of falling apart

Oh (This is the beat of my heart)

Oh, the fear of falling apart

Oh (This is the beat of my heart)

Oh, the fear of falling apart

Oh (This is the beat of my heart)

Oh, the fear of falling apart

Oh (This is the beat of my heart)

Oh, the fear of falling apart

I stopped playing tears in my eyes it's been too long. I stopped playing after my parents died I learn to play piano from mom and guitar from dad and singing from my Aunt. 

That's when we got caught Layton came storming into the room.

"What are you doing in here?" He demand.

'Um what it looks like sitting in front of a piano dumbass' I tell him. I momently forgot he doesn't sign thank God because I just called him a dumbass I had a death wish.

Getting the notebook I wrote everything I signed but leaving out the dumbass part.

He doesn't say anything for a minute or two before saying. "What were you playing? I hear some of it from downstairs but not the words." He said scratching the back of his neck.

I don't answer instead I turn towards the piano again and play a song that didn't need words. Other song that I loved.

Layton leaned against the front of the piano as he listened.It was weird Layton was so mean and cold and yet here he is listening to me play why?

It was nice Liam played along with me knowing the song. It was a song my father played on the violin for my mother and a song my mother played to me and Evangeline when we couldn't sleep.

See I couldn't learn to play the violin was hard for me to learn even though in was almost the same as a guitar.
