Slipped my Mind

Chapter 4: What...?

Chapter 4~

The next day was weird. I didn't see a single football player in the school. Not walking around... not practicing... nothing. They just are gone. You all must be thinking... Oh they just have a game. Well no! I would know if they had a game and they don't! Whatever... Travis was acting weird yesterday, so maybe he's just avoiding me and skipping school with them.

It was stupid today... First period was gay as usually... Geography sucks balls. Second period was Math... which sucked even more cause my teacher was looking at me funny... pervert. Then lunch was okay...

"Cathy somethings up with the guys..." I said staring at the table.

"Guys as in... the football team?" Cathy replied searching through her bag.

"Yes. They aren't here today... none of them. And I know there isn't a game..." I turned my head to her.

"I don't know what they would be up too... skipping maybe?" She looked at me with a simple face.

"Maybe..." I looked back at the table. Once lunch was over, I was heading onto the second floor to go to History. I found myself taking longer than normal... I decided I was gonna skip. I plugged in my headphones into my ears and blasted some music loud. I just wandered around the second floor... watching people... run? I looked around to then see no one there... Whatever, I said to myself. I kept bouncing along to my music through the halls. Finally after seeing nobody, I took out my headphones to listen. I heard an alarm.

That alarm that I heard was the lockdown alarm! But I knew this one wasn't a practice because walking around the corner I saw 4 guys with guns. I quickly hide around a corner thinking of an escape route when I overheard them talking.

"Who we looking for eh?" A funny voiced guy spoke.

"Ah... a girl named... um..." Another funny voice spoke.

"Riley Newson, you idiots." A deep voiced yelled. Me? Oh shit. I bolted out from my spot and ran down a hall way to find a staircase. I heard them running after me. I couldn't find a staircase! "You! You better stop if you don't wanna die." He grinned at me... the guy with the deep voice. One guy was wearing a mask and holding a hand gun point at my head... I stopped and started to breathe faster and faster.

Where was the stupid staircase?! I looked around and saw another hall way... I looked at them looking for something in his bag... When the guy wearing the masket dropped his gun to help look... I took this as my oppertunity! I bolted and ran as fast as I could to the hall way. They shot at me, missing me by an inch! I dashed down the hallway listening to my footsteps and they yelling. I swung open the door to the stairs and jumped down from the 4th to the bottom on each. I swung open the next door and ran down another hallway. I found a bathroom and opened it quickly and locked the door. I walked backwards until I hit the wall. Watching the door... next removing my eyes. Then I heard...

"Come on Riley... We know your in there..." They kicked the door. I almost stopped breathing. They started kicked harder and harder. I ran to the other side of the bathroom when I heard a slam. The door was open. I heard foot steps coming closer and closer. Then I saw 2 guns pointed at me and the guy with the deep voice holding a picture. He came up to me and gripped my throat. Pushing my against the wall tight, he gritted his teeth. He put the picture up to my face, then  put it away and stroked my cheek. I tried to bite him. I stared him in the eyes. He laughed at me.

"Do you know why we are here? Looking for you?" He guy looked at me seriously... I shooked my head... or tried... "Well Riley you have a gift... you just don't know it yet. But once you get it... we have to kill you. Just beware. But were gonna take you with us... just incase." He grinned at me. Suddenly I heard growling outside of the bathroom. Which freaked me out. I jumped in the hand of the man which made his grip tighter almost sufficating me. Then out of the corner near the door... 6 huge...things came around the corner. Then they came into view... they were... Wolves! They growled at the guys and surrounded us in a circle.

"Come on boys... lets be reasonable..." The guy with the deep voice said laughing. The wolves started barking. Then 6 guys came around the corner! I noticed them... they were on the football team. Thats when I saw Travis. I opened my eyes wider and stared at him softly. He had a pissed face. All of them did... I was still concerned with the wolves though...

"Remove your hand from Riley." Travis spoke firmly. The guy looked at Travis and then turned to me and grinned.

"You know Travis Jacobs? Ha! What are you... his girlfriend?" He grinned at me laughing. I looked at Travis and blushed. He looked at me... with sadness in his eyes.

"... Just remove your hand from her before you have no hand left!" Travis yelled. His eyes were sharp now. The baby blue was bursting through in daggers. The man looked at Travis again and laughed and turned back to me.

"You don't know what he is, do you?" I looked at the man confused... My eyes started to get watery. The man laughed and gripped my throat harder, which made the tears fall. I started to not breathe, I stood on my tippy toes trying to breathe, trying to survive. I looked up and thought it would be the end. I let out a scream as the man gripped harder.

Suddenly the wolves jumped up and attacked the 3 guys with guns and Travis and some guys ran so fast and started be beat the man. As he released my throat, I fell to the ground coughing and sliding on the ground to get away from them. 2 of the guys lifted me off the ground and held me tightly and took me out of the bathroom. Travis was still in there which kinda scared me.

"Are you okay Riley?" One of them looked at me in the face. I just stood silently breathing staring at the doorway of the bathroom. Listening to wolf cries and human pain. After awhile, the wolves came out and ran down a hall way looking at me. The 4 guys came out including Travis. Travis stopped and looked at me staring at him. I still didn't say a word. "Dude she's completely frozen. She hasn't said a thing... plus her neck is brusied badly."

"Riley I have to explain..." Travis looked down.

I stared at the doorway still, "What are you?" I said quietly.

Travis sighed and everyone else looked away, "A werewolf."
