Unwilling (Werewolf Love Story)

Chapter 7: This Cannot Happen Again!

~*Edited to my liking*~

 

December 11

"Emma? Emma?!"

"Mommy!"

 I'm woken up by Sarah's scream.

I look around to get my bearings. Right next to me is a black werewolf.

Last night comes back to me.

Jason!

"Emma?!" I can hear Joey calling after me.

Jason wakes up. I don't tell him anything and take off running.

Emma? I can hear him, but I don't answer.

I keep running. I have to get back to Sarah. I have to get back to my daughter.

"Emma! Emma, where are you?" I can now hear Michael.

Emma. Come back! Jason is running after me.

I want to stop, but I can't.

"Mommy!" I'm coming Sarah!

I jump over the water bank and nearly twist my leg, but I can't stop. I don't hear Jason anymore. I hope he isn't following me anymore.

I made it back to my house and see Michael and Jacob in the backyard. They can see me coming out of the woods.

"Emma!"

I run past them and morph back into human form before I run in through the back door.

"Sarah!"

I look around the house. Nothing.

"Sarah?" I head up the stairs.

"Mommy?"

I hear her running out of her room. I make it to the top of the stairs when I see her.

"Mommy!" She runs up to me as I go to catch her, crouching down.

"Mommy." I can hear her crying. I made her cry?

"Sarah." I'm panting. I push her from me and look at her. 

"Are you okay? What happened?"

"Mommy. Where were you? I went in your room and you weren't there." She hugs me again. "I got scared."

I let out a sigh of relief.

"Oh. I'm sorry baby. I didn't mean to scare you." I pull her closer to me.

"But where were you mommy?" She starts to hiccup.

"I couldn't sleep. So I went for a walk." I rub her back.

"But I came back running as soon as I heard you." 

In that moment, I realized she wasn't calling me Emma anymore. Pulling her away from me, I stare at the little girl before me.

"You called me mommy." I stated.

Blushing, Sarah looks down at her feet. "I don't want to lose you." 

Sarah was so worried about me and the whole way back I was afraid something had happened to her. It seems our connection has grown since I first took her in. I couldn't but feel happy about this.

"Don't ever leave me momma." 

"Never Sarah. I'll never leave you. I promise."

I pick her up and walk into her room. I put her in her bed and lay down next to her.
