My Crazy Life. I have a werewolf soulmate...

Chapter 12: Pleasant Surprise

Nikki

The nightmares hit me like a ton of bricks. It seemed everywhere I went in this particular nightmare had nothing but symbols and beasts. I would run, and run to a type of checkpoint in a dark, gloomy house and every room I looked into for information had symbols consisting of lines and squiggles that formed shapes of horrid creatures. Some of which were ghastly and menacing, others seemed mild and taunting.

My dream took a turn for the worst as I looked into the last room of the house. I opened the door slowly, as if not to disturb anyone in the room. The door made a loud, creaking sound and the old, battered wood scraped against the wooden floor.

I stepped inside timidly and scanned my surroundings. Another symbol was carved into the wall, glaring down at me. The symbol itself was intimidating, showing lines and lines that formed a type of circle. This symbol was definitely different from the horrible ones I had just seen and this one seemed to glow, beckoning me to come closer and look at it.

I took a cautious step towards it, wondering why such a wonderful symbol was in a dark place like this. A growl ripped me from my thoughts and I turned to look back at a wolf, no, a human? I couldn't tell, it seemed like a mix of the two. The head of a wolf attached to a human body, standing right before me. Before I had time to react, the man/wolf lunged at me and I woke up.

I sat up and put my face in my hands, trying to recall the dream I just had. Already, I was starting to forget it except for that, that man, or wolf or whatever it was!

As I tried to calm my breathing, I looked around my room. It seems I had made a few changes to it and I guess my dad got me a new bed?

No, wait. This isn't right.

Without thinking, I let out a loud shriek. I heard footsteps running around outside the door and clutched the blanket closer to my face, as if it would somehow protect me against whatever was out there.

The door slammed open and right there was my teacher, wearing only briefs to cover himself. My eyes widened as I took in his disheveled state and I couldn't help but realize how good it made him look. I mentally shook myself out of my sinful thoughts and looked at his face only.

"What's wrong?!" He asked, concern lacing his tone. What was wrong? I wondered. The memories came at me full force then. Drugging my friend, sneaking out, the battle, my arm, Leo. My arm! I looked down and saw my arm neatly wrapped in bandages, starting from my hand and almost touching my shoulder. I gasped in shock and looked back at Leo.

"Where are we?" I whispered. I looked around again to see a slightly messy room, clothes on the floor or draped on a chair in the corner. The walls were a bluish green color with one window that overlooked part of a street, from what I could tell.

He let out a deep sigh. "We are at my place. You needed to heal and I didn't think you would want to go to your friend's with that, oh, so lovely cut of yours." He pointed at my arm.

I thought for a moment. "If I needed to heal, why couldn't you take me to a hospital?" He tensed as I questioned him. The room was quiet for a few minutes as I waited impatiently for him to answer. Irritated, I threw off the blankets that covered me and almost stormed out when he grabbed my unhurt arm firmly.

"I'm a doctor." He stated. I stared at him incredulously before I let out a chuckle.

"Right, you're a doctor and a full time teacher?" I emphasized. He can't fool me with that excuse.

"I used to be one." He tried to say, but I was already walking past him, or trying to anyway. His grip was still locked on my arm and I couldn't break free. "You need to rest." He told me.

"You need to let go." I retorted. Even if these delicious sparks shot up through my veins every time he touched me, I needed to leave. And I needed to leave now.

With yet, another heavy sigh, he let go hesitantly. I gave him one last look before trying to locate the front door of his small apartment. While looking around, I heard his husky voice. "At least stay the rest of the night so I know you're okay. You can't possibly think I would let you walk home at three o'clock in the morning."

I stopped and stared at him. "Who do you think you are?" Annoyance clear in my voice. No matter how much I wanted to stay, or how much I wanted to just bask in all that was Leo, I couldn't bring myself to stay with him. Not like this. If the situation were different, I probably wouldn't even think about leaving his damn room. But what happened last night made me fully conscious that I was definitely not supposed to be like this with him. I still had Trey to think about, I still had my friends to think about. I couldn't think of Leo right now. And with him being my teacher, was a big factor in what I did next.

I walked straight up to him and slapped him. His head didn't even snap to the side or anything! What, is he made of stone? Leo huffed in annoyance as he looked down at me. As I went in for another slap, he grabbed my wrist tightly, earning a slight yelp from me from his reaction and those sparks.

"Are you done now?" He asked, looking straight into my eyes, daring me to try something else. I gulped and stood there, not knowing what to say or do. He seemed to realize I wasn't going to answer any time soon and dropped my wrist, letting it fall to my side. "Look, I know this is a rather...complicated situation. But, you can either take the bed or the couch tonight, and I'll sleep in the opposite room, alright? Just don't try walking home because it's definitely not safe for you with the condition you're in. If you weren't injured, I'd probably let you go. Tomorrow, I'll drive you to wherever you need to be if you just go to sleep tonight, okay?"

I frowned and thought for another moment. Would he really? I took a few more minutes to decide what I thought was best and marched back into his room, closing the door and getting into his bed once more. I probably shocked him with such a bold movement. Hell, I was shocked for the both of us if he wasn't.

My eyes started closing, heavy from being so tired. I didn't think I was this sleepy. Maybe I was just so riled up. Well, at least I'll be able to sleep now. My eyes were completely shut now as I entered my dream-like state again, this time not dreaming of half men, half wolf things coming after me.

Hope you all liked this chapter! I'm extremely tired from all the practices I've been going through this week and I've been upset by some thing but oh well!

Vomment!
