Bitten

Chapter Three

There was a huge crash and I stopped screaming. I looked up and saw a huge animal. It had fangs, fur and red eyes. It looked like a . . .wolf. The wolf smirked. I scooted backwards slowly hoping that the huge wolf wouldn't notice me backing up. But his eyes followed my every movement. He took a step closer to me and I scooted back. He was moving like I was his prey. I closed my eyes and tears slid down my cheeks. I opened my eyes again and saw the wolf was closer. I shrieked and jumped back. The wolf growled and crouched like he was about to pounce. I put my hand in my jeans pocket and felt my hand close around my phone and pulled my phone out. The wolf growled again which made me jump and drop my phone. Before I could grab the phone, the wolf pounced on me. I felt his claws dig into me and his teeth went into my flesh. I screamed and reached my arm up. I managed to get a hold of a tree root and I pulled myself towards it. It was like I was crawling. The wolf smiled and ran off. Why didn't he kill me? Why did he just bite me and run off? I pulled myself over to the tree and sat up. My back was against the tree. I pulled my shirt down and saw a bite mark on my shoulder. There was a few claw marks too. I laid my head against the tree and closed my eyes. When I opened my eyes I saw my phone a few inches away from me. I reached my hand over and the top of my fingers touched it. I had to move forward and when I did the pain felt like it was everywhere. My hand finally closed around my phone and I sat up again. I turned my phone on and pulled up the contacts. Finally I found Hanna's number and pressed the call button. I brought the phone to my ear and on the third ring Hanna picked up.

"Hey Joc" Hanna said.

"Hanna" I whispered.

There was a pause and then. "Jocelyn, are you okay?"

"No I'm not". I said.

"What do you mean your not okay?" she asked.

"I found James body and the wolf thing bit me and . . ." I broke off because I started crying.

"Jocelyn, take a deep breath and start over. Okay."

I took a deep breath and calm myself then I start over. "I found James Mccalister's . . . body in the woods and then the wolf/creature thing bit . . . me and I'm sort of freaking out."

I heard Hanna take a sharp breath. "I'm calling the cops and I'll tell them to bring an ambulance and were be there ASAP, promise". She hung up. I dropped the hand that was holding my phone to my side. I closed my eyes and darkness came.

I opened my eyes and saw bright lights. I notice I was being carried on a gurney. My head leaned to the side and I thought I saw a guy with dark hair and dark eyes leaning against a tree. I squeeze my eyes tight together and when I opened them again the guy was gone. I must have lost to much blood and I was starting to hallucinating. The people who were carrying me lifted me up and put me in the back of the ambulance. Someone came in and sat by me. Whoever it was was pressing a rag against the bite. My vision was growing darker every minute. I couldn't stop the darkness from taking me again.

When I came around, the first thing that I notice was that someone was holding my hand. I heard the person murmuring something over and over. "Please don't die. Please don't die. Please don't die". The voice sounded familiar. But I can't place where I heard the voice before. I tried opening my eyes but they were to heavy for me.

I opened my eyes and there was white everywhere. This wasn't my room. Where am I? I touched my face and realized I wasn't wearing my glasses. I could see without my glasses. Then everything came flowing into me. I gasped. I need to get out of here. I ripped the needles out of my arms. I tried getting off the bed. My legs got tangled in the sheet and I tumbled on the ground. I kicked the sheet off my legs and stood on wobbling legs. I heard the beeping of machines, and people walking and talking. Everything sounded like it was right next to me. I put my hands on my ears and it was to much. I screamed and I heard running footsteps. A minute later nurses came running into the room. They stopped when they saw that I wasn't on the bed. I looked behind them and saw a flash of curly black hair. Jasmine. She was trying to push her way through but the nurses were holding her back. I don't know what came over me but before I knew it I slammed a guy nurse against the wall. The guys mouth opened in a silent gasp. I let the guy fall to the ground and I turned around. All of the rest of the nurse were staring at me with wide eyes. The guys who were holding Jasmine let go off her and ran. Everyone else ran to except Jasmine. Jasmine looked at the man on the floor and took a step back. I looked at the guy and felt for a pulse. He was still breathing. I looked back at Jasmine and smiled.
