I was happy Elle was finally telling Kristin the truth although I was worried at how Kristin would react. I even called Courtney an hour after I dropped Kristin off and she told me Kristin was in her room and that Belle was comforting her, but I wished it was me instead.
"Come on dude snap out of your thoughts I'm trying to apologise here." Tane brought me back to reality.
Tane, Tina and I were sitting in the middle of the woods using our wolf vision which meant we didn't have to bother with torches. It also meant that we couldn't see the colour red which looked green to our wolf eyes but we could see blue and green fine; otherwise everything else was black and white although we only needed it to see in the dark and not make out colours so it didn't matter.
"It's fine really." I tried to convince Tane although I could still see that he still felt guilty, "Besides you aren't the one that needs to apologise." I focussed my attention on Tina.
"It was just dancing your girl needs to chill."
"Really that's what you call just dancing?" Tane questioned.
"So what I'm meant to apologise to her?" Tine scoffed.
"That's a start." I answered.
"No way I'm not apologising." Tina refused and I could see her shaking her head and waving her hands around.
"Tina?" Tane growled.
"You can growl at me all you want but I'm not apologising end of story."
"Why not?" I asked. It was just two words what was so hard about saying two words?
"Because I'm not sorry Derek."
"Let's play tag." Tane shot to his feet and I knew it was because he didn't to hear Tina talking about her feelings for me, and I didn't want to hear it either.
"I'm it." Tina smirked and I knew it meant something bad was about to happen; she was flashing her evil grin as she looked at me.
"Thirty seconds." I reminded her before me and Tane ran through the woods and split up. I had to stay as far away from her as much as possible, although I knew she was going to be tracking my scent which meant I had to be the one with the upper hand; I had to be fast.
Part of me felt guilty for playing a game while Kristin's world was crumbling down around her but Courtney would kick me out as soon as she smelled my scent. I would have gotten a few minutes tops with Kristin and that was if I was lucky, although I did wish I could have been there for her.
I snapped out of my thoughts and started focussing as I quickly climbed up a tree using my claws to grip the bark and within a few seconds I had already made my way to the top, and I could see Tina moving in between the trees. Even if she did climb up a tree she still had to catch me and I was a lot faster than I looked.
Oh come on let's have some fun Kristin doesn't have to know. My wolf suggested.
No! Keep it in your pants! I snapped.
"Really Derek you're playing monkey man?" Tina laughed before she jumped on a nearby tree and I could hear her claws as they scraped against the bark; she was moving a lot quicker than I had expected.
She was two or three trees away and she was gaining on my position fast. I lunged from the tree branch reaching out for the next door neighbour's tree branches, although I felt Tina grab my ankle in mid-air and I toppled to the ground with a loud thud, and I groaned as I felt the wind being knocked out of me.
"Did you forget how fast I am?" Tina teased as she leaned over my body. I had fallen on my back although the pain was already beginning to diminish, and my bruises were already healing.
