Something Worth Fighting For (REWRITING)

Chapter Nineteen

River POV:

I was in the shower scrubbing off all the dirt I received from today’s game of football. My muscles ached, causing me to flinch when I tried to move them. No, they didn’t hurt from the game. They hurt because it’s been days since I have let loose and set my bending free. It’s hard holding this much power inside me for days on end. I knew I had to sneak out tonight but that’s easier said than done.

I turned off the warm water and the cold air immediately nipped at my skin. I pulled a towel around me and walked out into Archer’s bed room. Archer was laying on the bed working on his laptop. I bit my lip as I walked by him. He still hadn’t noticed me which gave me time to look him over. I can’t believe he is mine. He is perfect in almost every way and the best part is he’s mine. I still can’t believe that we have only known each other for a grand total of four days and I’m already in love with him. I smiled as I walked to the closet and dressed into a pair of pajama shorts and a tank top. After I dressed my hands wandered to my shoulders and I began to rub them. My mortal body can’t bottle all this power up and I’m starting to feel the strain. Suddenly a pair of strong hands placed their hands on mine before gently moving them aside.

“Let me help.” Archer whispered into my ear as he began to massage my shoulders. I moaned and leaned my head back onto his chest. He rubbed his lips down my neck, placing kisses as he went, causing pleasure to fill me. His hands left my shoulders and began to roam around my body. Once they found my waist he quickly turned me around to face him. An attractive smirk graced his flawless features as he pushed me against the door and took my lips in his. His hands roamed my body causing me to shiver. “You are an angel.” He murmured against my lips. I chuckled.

“Close, but not quite.” He lifted me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist. He placed me on the bed and my heart began to pound, wondering what he was going to do to me. But to my disappointment he crawled up next to me and laid down. He must’ve noticed my face because he laughed and pulled me closer to him. He began to play with strands of my hair, twirling them between his fingers. I quickly forgave him and nuzzled myself into him. The feeling of his arms wrapping around me made me feel like I was untouchable. It was amazing. I felt him planting small, but meaning full kisses on my head. After a while I heard the sound of faint snoring. I knew this was my chance. I slowly removed his arm from around my waist and carefully slipped off of the bed. I pulled on my leather jacket, followed by a pair of sandals and tip-towed to the door. A smile overtook me as I spared one last look at Archer. I then quietly opened the door and slipped out.

Getting past Archer was the easy part. Now I have to sneak through this massive house and through the back door. I bit my lip as I fought the urge to breathe; worried the slightest sound would alert somebody. By the time I reached to door my lungs were on fire. I slowly opened the door and flinched as it creaked.

I listened carefully for any sign that someone had heard it before I continued through the door. I closed it behind me and finally breathed. I made it. Luckily the door I chose faced the forest, making my escape even easier. I began to sprint towards my haven. My bones were sore and they began to tremble, desperately needing to release everything. I ran for a good twenty minutes before I finally stopped to catch my breath. It was then that I noticed the beautiful sight in front of me. I had unknowingly stumbled upon a lake, the water glistening under the moon light. Perfect.

I wasted no time. I pushed myself up with a burst of air and dove head first into the water. The minute the cool water hit my skin my body practically took over. I summoned the water and began to spin it around me. I then closed my fist and shot them down, causing me to burst out of the water at record speed. But I didn’t stop there. I kept going higher and higher, letting the water take over. I quickly dropped the water and began to fall through the air. But before I hit the water again I shot fire from my hands and used it like a jet pack, taking myself to solid ground. When my feet touched the ground I slammed my hands on the ground then pulled them up, bringing a circle of the earth up to the sky. Once I decided I was high enough, I sat down on the soft grass and looked up to the sky. My muscles were relaxed and I felt better then I had in days. The symphony that is the outdoors had me in complete peace, and before I knew it I had drifted to sleep.

Damon POV:

I walked out of my office and into the diner to find it packed wall to wall with wolves.

“Everyone is here.” Megan said as she walked up to me.

“Good.” I walked up to the bar and jumped on top of it. Everyone turned and looked at me, ready to hear what they had been summoned for. “You have been called here today to discuss an important subject. Archer and his pack must fall. They are the only thing standing between us and domination.” Growls erupted through the air as all the rouges began to get riled up.

“Let us storm their territory. They can’t possibly take all of us.” A voice shouted from amongst the people. There were shouts of agreement, mixed with those of disagreement.

“Even if we that were true and we took down the pack, there is still something standing in our way. The girl. I know that most of you think I’m insane but I swear to you as your leader that she is not human. She took down Avery, our best fighter, like he was nothing. And she has even escaped me. I have seen what she can do and I promise you we will not be able to beat her. And I want her alive, which would make that task next to impossible” It was silent as all the rouges thought on what I said.

“Then how do you propose we do that?” Everyone stepped back, revealing the man who had said it. “Maybe we could lure her out with makeup and puppies. But we have to watch out! She might burn us with her straightener.” My blood boiled as I jumped off the counter and stalked to him.

“What did you say?”

“You are not fit to be our leader, Damon. We’re all thinking it, and now I’m saying it.” I growled and jumped at him, transforming into my wolf in the process. Before he could react I tackled him to the ground and ripped his throat out. I then shifted back and looked at the frightened faces that were now all focused on me.

“Anyone else feel like challenging? No? Good. This meeting is over.” I walked back into my office, closing my door behind me. Not long after Megan came wandering in. She sat down on my desk, making sure her bare legs were where I could see them. I sighed and pushed her aside.

“Not now, Megan.” She huffed and pushed herself off the desk and walked behind me. She began to rub my shoulders and neck, working out the knots.

“How are we going to get the bitch without killing her or her killing us? Do you even know who or what she is yet?” I swung around in my chair and grabbed her wrists.

“Watch your tongue. She is still your future Luna.” I yelled at her. She held her ground but I could see her wolf whimpering. “And as for what she is, I have no idea.” I sighed and ran my hand through my hair. “I have to get her. I need people to see that I’m not crazy.”

“How are you going to get her to reveal herself? I don’t think she’ll do it willingly.”

“I can help with that.” An unfamiliar voice rang through the air. I turned around to find a beautiful woman sitting cross legged on my couch, watching me with a seductive look.

“Who the hell are you?” I growled as I stood up. A smirk spread across her flawless lips.

“Adorabella.”
