Chapter 14
The ChaseThe bell rings, and all of the students start to shove their things inside their bags, ignoring the voice of Mr. Kiwazaki, a japanese professor who is so good in English. He's telling us to research something on the internet. I don't care. I have a lot of things to do.
Finally, it's my lunch period, but sadly, I don't share the same lunch period with Dave and Troy, so I'll be spending this break alone. I really don't feel like eating, since I'm still full. Plus, the foods in the cafeteria suck, and I hate their cooking skills. Mom is so much better. There was one time when the chef decided to make Cordon Bleu and the taste was so awful I had to spit it out. No offence to the chef, but he doesn't have a good skill when it comes to cooking.
Grabbing my things and putting them inside my bag, I stand up and get out of the room. I decide that I'll my spend my lunch break outside, just lie down on the grass under the tree, listen to random music (I prefer Pop genre), and shut my eyes and rest for a while. It would do me good.
Once I get out of the classroom, students are scattered around the hallway, either trying to be in their next class or just hanging out in the hallway. There's a lot of chattering. Most of the guys are talking about girls and their treasures while girls are talking about guys and what they like about them. I roll my eyes at them. Their topic is nonsense.
My phone buzzes in my pocket and I fish it out, switching on the screen and finding out that it's Troy who texted me. It reads: I got an after school detention. Lol. I'll tell you the details later or tomorrow. I just had to punch someone. Hahaha..
I snicker and send a quick reply, asking him why he had to punch someone. I never peg him to be a bad boy, but somehow, somewhat, I like that he knows how to punch. It means that he also has some flaws, and I think I like it. Does that sound weird? I don't think so. I put back the phone inside my packet and decide to head outside the field, where I'm going to rest. I smile at the thought. Hmm. If Troy can be a bad boy, then he could be my Knight in Shining Armour, right? He can protect me. He would protect me, right?
As soon as I reach the best place to rest, I place my bag beside the tree and lie down on the grass, then my eyes watch the clouds above. Watching the sky makes me feel calm and in peace. Well, who wouldn't find peace and be calm when they look at the sky? I mean, moving clouds, sunny day, the soft and cold blow of the wind, not really hot, it's perfect.
When I shut my eyes, a figure looms over me and when my eyes make contact with the familiar eyes, I immediately stand up, heart racing wildly and eyes widening.
It's Marcus.
One of the best friends of the Great Alpha.
When I'm about to scream for help, Marcus puts his palm over my mouth and wraps his free arm around me. I'm desperate to look for help, but unfortunately, I'm the only one who's in the field. I can't believe I forgot that I saw Perry, which could mean that his friends are also here. And now, Marcus has found a good timing to assault me.What do they want? What do they need? I already left the pack. I have been converted into a regular, normal teenage boy. Furion is no longer my wolf. What the fuck do they need?
I try to free myself from his grasps, but it seems like the more I fight, the more he locks his arm around me, making me unable to breath. Marcus is very strong, compared to me. He begins to walk and I have no choice but to go with him. Getting more nervous as we take each step away from school ground, I have the opportunity to run when I stomp on his foot, which makes him oomf and once he lets go of me, I begin to run as fast as I can. You may think I'm an idiot for running, trying to escape, considering Marcus is a werewolf and can run faster than me, but I have to take my chances. I don't want to be killed! What about Mom? What about Dave? What about Troy?
Then it all comes back rushing to my head. The tortures. The beatings. The name calling. The rejection. The pain. Being bullied. A tear slides down my cheek, heart still racing fast, beating like a hammer. It feels like in any second, my knees would give up. Hell, they are ready to give up from numbness, from running. My legs burn each step I take. When I take a look over my shoulder to see if he's following me, I find no Marcus running after me. Instead, when I turn my head in front, he's already there, waiting for me. He has these eyes that tell you that he's mad, real mad, and that makes me scared. I stop dead in my tracks and take a step back. He's aura screams power. My body begins to freeze and it feels like my feet have been glued on the ground. My body trembles when he takes a step closer.
"Nice meeting you again, Kieran." He says in a monotone, keeping a poker face expression as he nears me, taking each step slowly and carefully. The words have become stuck in my throat, and it feels like I'm being choked. The place becomes suffocating to me. I'm unable to breath. "Don't be scared to me, Kieran. I'm not going to hurt you."
Bullshit, I want to say but doesn't have the guts to say. I'm afraid that if I say that, he'd kill me. I still love my life. I still have to fulfill my promise to Furion, that I'm going to be happy and live my life to the fullest. I can't afford to make his sacrifice to be just nothing and nonsense.
"Don't run, Kieran. I'm not going to hurt you. Trust me." Marcus says in a convincing tone. So convincing that for a moment, I thought that he's telling the truth. But I don't trust him. He has hurt me many times, and he can hurt me now. What's worst is, I don't have the ability to fight him, the strength to hurt him even if I want to. "Please, trust me, I just need to talk to you. We need to talk to you."
We? Who's "we"?
I take a step back again, not wanting him near me. There's no point in running, so might as well listen to him, right? Who knows? Maybe the bastard can spare me from killing. There's a chance that he wouldn't kill me, right? That doesn't sound so convincing, but I have to believe. Like I've stated before, if I'm really their mission, they would need me alive, right?
"Who's we are you talking about?" I ask him, almost a whisper, but since he's a fucking werewolf, he heard it.
"The Pack," he says slowly, looking at me dead in the eyes.
It feels like my heart is being stomped on. Certain images and events play in my head and tears well up in my eyes. I try to fight the tears from pouring out of my eyes, but too late, the emotions I have been keeping inside me burst. I cry, harder, not caring that Marcus can see me in such a weak state. But he doesn't do anything. Instead, he just watches me cry.
"We know that we've hurt you real bad," he says, walking until he's face to face with me. "But we need your help. We want to talk to you about something. Something important. Something about your wolf."
"Furion is already gone!" I shout at him, punching him on the chest, glaring daggers at him. "Get it? Furion is fucking gone! He left me a year ago! I'm already a fucking human. I was converted into a human. Why must you guys keep hurting me? You've done nothing but shits to me!"
Marcus looks at me with full of guilt evident in his eyes, then he looks down, suddenly finding his feet to watch interesting, in shame. He tries to look at me in the eyes but doesn't have the guts to. Maybe, it's all coming back to them, the karma. That's why they need me. And what about my wolf? What about Furion? I have to know.
"I know that we treated you so badly, that led you break the Forbidden Law," he states to me, grabbing me in my shoulders. I shrug it off. "But please. Hear us. This is very important. And we need your help. If you come with me, and talk to us, we'll tell you everything that you need to know. And I promise that we'd never hurt you again. I promise that."
And why do I believe him? I don't even know.
