Kept In The Dark (Completed)

Chapter 9

EMMA POINT OF VIEW

It takes a step closer, coming into the torch light. I turn to my machine on my wrist hoping it works. Two words pops up:warming up. It needs to 'warm up'?! What kind of machine is this? I need you now!

I look over at Jake his eyes gleaming with taking on this challenge. Is he seeing what I'm seeing? It's a wolf nine feet tall! He looks at me not saying anything, but his eyes says it all. He going to do something.

He's going to do something probably stupid, which would probably put us more in danger, but let's see what he got.

He throws the torch light at the wolf. "Run!" Is all he says. I'm wrong that wasn't stupid that was suicidal! "Jake! Are you trying to get us killed!" I screamed as we're running for our lives. "If we stayed there any longer we would have been killed anyway." He didn't shout, but said it irritated. He's irritated?! Thanks to him we have a target on our backs.

I feel rough fur hit my side so hard I was sent flying twenty feet away from where I was, back hitting a tree. "Emma!" Jacob shouted, but I'm focusing on the wolf that's slowly walking towards me. I slowly get up, and hold out my sword. My back is killing me. Jake comes from behind, and puts the torch light on the wolf's fur. It did nothing, but have him as its next target.

Think what can I do? If this machine doesn't start up any time soon Jake is going to ask why I didn't use my powers. Well technically he's not using his either.

Focus at one thing at a time like not dying!

Jake's on the ground the wolf towering over him. I run behind the wolf and force the sword into the wolf's mane. It's backs away howling. Jake immediately gets up. "Thanks, but that's not going to hold it for long...can I fly us out?" He doesn't even wait for me to respond he wraps his arms around me, and takes off. I grip onto his shirt tightly.

He notices the tension. Yeah, I hate heights! We're so above the ground...don't look down!

"Hey, it's okay." We both hear a whooshing sound, Jake turns us around to be faced with the wolf. Great, it can fly.

Is it just me or is it that every single time he's say we're going to be fine that wolf pops up?

"Jake, I need to get my sword..."

"Oh, you want me to go ask it? I'm sure it won't mind giving it back to you." Jake responds sarcastically. He's right I do sound completely nuts, but my father always says "go with your instincts."

"Jake, I know it sounds ridiculous, but your just going to have to trust me." He keeps moving forward showing no sign of going to get my sword. I need it, and I can't fly.

I hear a sigh, but he turns us around. Now we're directly below the wolf. He's in the wolf's blind spot if it has one...I hope so.

"Fine, what's the plan?" He asks. We keep flying directly under the wolf, but now it's starting to notice we're no longer in front of him. "We don't have time right now just do it."

He still hestitates not liking how I didn't tell him the plan. All a sudden the wolf stops flying making Jake keep flying almost past the wolf, luckily he stopped in time. The wolf starts sniffing the air trying to sniff us out. "Do you trust me?" I asked. He nods, and as quick as ever we were over the wolf not under it. Man, he flies fast.
