Chapter 7: Mates?

~ Scarlet's POV~

(Nina Dobrev will be Scarlet)

We all walked through the cemetery, I was limping slightly. I checked my bandaid a.k.a. the sleeve of my favorite jacket. I was in the middle of everyone. "Oh god, this is a bad idea. What was that?" Champ whimpered as he thought he heard something. I rolled my eyes and kept limping along. I swear when I see that stupid werewolf, I'm going to skin him and then I'm going to kill him and make a rug out of him. I mean come on, I have a right to be angry, first he tries to eat me and then he ruins my good jeans making me have use my favorite jacket as a bandaid. All around you can hear creatures howling and screeching throughout the night. I saw Champ fall and I groaned. That boy really needs to grow a pair. I kept on thinking back as to why the werewolf had a dazed look, call me crazy or whatever but I thought I saw love in it's eyes when it looked at me. I took a side glance back to my brother and Hannah and saw them taking small glances of each other. Heh, my brother is in love. Finally. I stopped because of the pain in my leg, setting my bat down. Leaning against the statue I could feel something moving. "Not a statue! NOT A STATUE!" I yelled, swinging my baseball bat and knocking off its head. It rolled around and I gagged on the spot. "That's just nasty" I said and hoped my way to Stine. I ignored the pain and started to run with the others. "Over here. Go, go, go" Zach said as we got through the metal gate that was still locked. Stine had some issue getting his stomach to fit. "Unh, I'm stuck. Go on without me. Save yourself" Stine said very cliché-like. "Okay, good luck" Champ told Stine and ran off in the distance. "No, I didn't mean it. Champion! What kind of monster would take me up on that?" Stine asked angrily as we tried to get him to fit. We finally got Stine free, sending us all face-first onto the ground. "I'll kill him, Where is that little imbecile?" Stine asked as we got up. "I don't know but I will help you" I said, wiping off the dirt and running again. "Wait for us you coward!" Stine yelled after Champ.

"Where did they put my typewriter?" Stine asked as we searched for it. "I know it was this way. It might have been the other way. Maybe we should split up" Stine told us, debating all of this in his mind. "No, no, no. Have you ever read your books? We're never supposed to split up" Champ told him. "Oh you mean just like how you split with us in the cemetery?" I asked him irritated. "Come on, how many display cases could there be?" Hannah questioned, taking my brothers hand and walking in a different direction. "I'm going alone then" I said and limped a different way. I stopped by the nurses office and got a first aid kit. I went to the girls locker room and turned the shower on, washing the blood off my jeans. I wrapped my leg and walked back to the others. "Go to the gym. Warn everyone. Tell them to barricade the school" Stine told us. "Where are you going?" Hannah asked her father. "To find some place to write. Slappy's going to come for me. I have a deadline, literally. Now go" Stine told her and we went our separate ways. As soon as I got into the gym, people were dancing (horribly might I add) and the music was okay. I felt someones wrap their arms around my waist. "Hey Scar" I heard Mark's annoying voice. God I hate this guy. "Not now Mark" I said and tried to get out of his arms. "Oh come on. We'll have fun together" he whispered in my ear, giving it a kiss and a slimy lick. Okay I've had enough. I stopped on his foot and bit his hand that was near my mouth. Mark yelled in pain and I glared at him before walking away. I got sight of my mother and ran towards her. I ran towards her with Zach and we gave her a hug. "I couldn't get hold of you guys or Lorraine" mom worriedly told us. "I know" Zach and I harmonized together. "Mom, everyone here is in danger, we have to barricade the school" Zach told mom. "Oh, no Zach. Not this again" mom told him, not believing him at all. "He's telling you the truth. Hi, I'm Hannah. I live next door" Hannah said to my mother, introducing herself. Just then Champ made the music stop and he talked through the microphone. "Oh no" I groaned quietly and he ordered my brother up on stage. They tried to warn everyone but they all made fun of them until the giant Praying Mantis showed up. "Oh sure, now they believe" I said to hannah. Everyone screamed and I rolled my eyes. Wimp's, I've had to deal with this all night. Zach told the others what to do. I heard the werewolf's howl and my heart skipped a beat. As we barricaded the doors, I went into the biology room, getting some more chairs. Hearing a crash, I went out into the hall to make sure people were safe. I heard that familiar threatening growl and I shut my eyes closed for a second, thinking of a plan. I turned around, facing the werwolf and walking back, into the biology room. I cursed when I slipped on my bat, sending my butt to the ground. "Hey, hey. Nice doggy" I coo'ed but only got an angry growl. "Well then" I muttered, scooting back until my back hit the wall. "Cliché" I said, rolling my eyes. "Hey, you're a werewolf right? So you probably want or need a mate to survive right?" I asked it but only but another growl. "Okay so here, let me make you a deal. I'll be your mate if you don't eat me or my friend and family alive" I compromised with the creature. I closed my eyes and whimpered slightly as I felt the werewolf standing on all fours above me. I could feel it's breath on me. Then something shocking happened. I was being kissed by a blonde haired boy. I pushed him off, and was about to scream until the boy covered my mouth. "Woah, don't be a bad little mate now" the boy told me and I nodded my head, feeling around for my bat. As soon as I got hold of it, I swung and hit the boy in the head. I rolled myself over, away from the retreating boy's figure, standing up . "That's twice that you've done that tonight" the boy's voice called out. I ran to the door but wolf boy was faster. Not going to lie. Wolf boy was pretty damn hot if I do say myself. Blonde hair in the perfect haircut, a very noticeable eight pack (I'm not impressed by abs but these were very nice looking) muscles that went well with his abs, looked to be about six foot two. My perfect dream guy. "Like what you see?" Wolf boy smirked. "What's there to look at?" I lied, turning around to go to the back door. Again Grady, i believe his name is in the book, got there before me. I huffed angrily and ran to a desk where he stood at the other side. "Mature" Grady told him, that stupid yet delicious smirk still on his perfectly sculpted face. "Thanks I try" I snarled and ran to another table, only to be lifted into the air. "Put me down" I hissed and squirmed, punching and swinging my arms and legs. "Will you stop it?" Grady questioned more like demanded in a darker voice. It made me shrink and stop resisting him. He set me down and trapped me in-between him and the wall. "Why the hell are you doing this?" I asked him as he sniffed in-between my collarbone and neck. I sighed in delight as he pressed a small kiss to it. "Come on, I can tell you're smarter than that. We're obviously mates and the only reason why I hurt you and your friends is because you denied yourself to me and my wolf was angry" Grady explained to me and played with a strand of my hair, smelling it. "Oh, is that all?" I asked too calmly. Grady looked at me with those beautiful eyes and studied me for a moment. "Yes" he said hesitantly. "THAT STILL DOESN'T GIVE YOU A RIGHT TO GO BEZERK AND TRY TO EAT ME" I yelled at him, he covered his ears. "Damn" he mumbled and I was about to rant before me shut me up with a kiss. I sighed a little when I felt weak in the knees. This boy has way too much of an effect on me. All of a sudden he stopped kissing me and bit my neck, piercing something in me. I screamed in pain but it was soon replaced with a noise of pleasure. I pushed Grady off and held my neck. "WHY DID YOU MARK ME?" I yelled at him. "Because you are mine and I can smell that boy's scent on you" Grady growled. I glared and he stopped growling. "Okay if we're going to be mates then you need to stop this whole 'you are mine and only mine' attitude because it sure as hell won't work on me buddy" I told Grady who nodded his head. "Good now give me another kiss" I told him, him obeying the command happily. He stopped after a few minutes and he sniffed the air. "Go back to your brother. I have to go but don't think we're finished" Grady told me as he turned back into a werewolf and ran away. I sighed, dazed and picked my bat, going to find my brother.
