The Mark:The Hunt for a Cure

Chapter Three

We all sat at the table, laughing."So wait, Al did WHAT!?"I asked

Bella laughed as Al looked annoyed, "He thought the stable boy was cute, only to get rejected with, 'sorry, I'm in love with the horses.' "

I laughed really hard, "I swear, I never felt so awkward..."Al mumbled under his breath.

Penelope laughed, "You also missed Hector trying to kiss me!"

Hector turned red and stuttered, "I-It was m-my first t-time!!"

I laughed harder, Oh man, I would've PAID to see that happened!

Alison was laughing at that too as her mother comes in, "How is everything sweeties?"

"Delicious Ma'am."I tell her

"Aw don't call me Ma'am Max, You're dating my daughter, call me Mrs.Nightingale!"

I nodded, "Very well Mrs.Nightingale."

She nods and gives me a little bit of a glare as she leaves.

"You're mother still doesn't trust me still..?"I asked Alison.

She nodded, "Don't worry, it isn't forever."

I nodded with a smile, "Alright I think I should get some sleep."I said as I stand up slowly.

"Still injured badly, huh?"Penelope asked and I nodded.

"But not as much as earlier, I think I'm actually healing."

They all nodded, "Well, I'll still help you to your room."Alison said and took my arm.

We both left the room and went to the bedrooms.The one I was in was a white room, white bed, white dresser, it looked like heaven threw up in there.Alison set me on the bed and help take off my shirt, I hold her waist and put my head on her chest.

her cheeks flared a deep red, "M-Max!?My mother can walk in at any time you know!"

I looked up at her, "I don't care, I missed you."

She huffed and played with the hair at the back of my head.I kissed her chest and she lightly tugged on my hair and I kissed her stomach.she softly moan and held my head closer.Suddenly we heard a knock on the door, she pushed me away, red as a tomato.

"W-what is it?!"Alison asked.

"Just wanted to check on two, you know, see if you're alright?"I heard the voice, no doubt it was Alison's mom.

"Mom, we're fine."Alison yelled through the door, going over to it.

I didn't recall anything else, I was already laying down on the bed, already drifting to sleep.

Jack sat on the old bed in his room, thinking on why the barkeep said what he said.Why does he hate lycanthropes?Did they do something to him?Did they hurt him in any way,shape,or form?Jack didn't know.All he knew was that the barkeep didn't like...what he was.Jack sat up, trying to think of something else.

He thought about the people he had attacked, and the man who cut him.Speaking of, he looked down to see a long, jagged cut on his chest.He was glad that it healed, if it didn't the group would've found him easily.He took off all his clothing, getting ready for his long, hot shower.Then there was a knock on the door, just when Jack was about to take off his pants.

He went over to the door and spoke cautiously.

"Yes?"

"Come on man, open up!"A young male voice said through the door.
