Prophecy in the Eye of the Wolf

Chapter Twenty Two

"Awww...come on, Sammie, please. Just try it on," Abi begged, trying to hand me the turquoise bikini.

I backed up. "Abi, why?" I asked, dragging out the word.

"Because we are going to the lake, and you are going to look cute. Now, put this on." Abi dropped the bikini in my arms and pushed me towards the closet.

I sighed and gave in. I went into my closet to change into the bathing suit and looked at myself in the mirror. It fit perfectly. I liked the bathing suit; it was cute as Abi had said. It was a turquoise bikini with ties on the top and bottoms.

I sighed and went back into my bedroom. Abi jumped up and down, squealing in excitement, her white bikini bouncing with her as she looked at me. "That. Is. Adorable. I told you it would be perfect."

I rolled my eyes with a smile. "Yeah, yeah. Now, come on. We better get going."

Abi nodded and led the way out of the pack house. Instead of the usual red convertible, Abi chose a silver truck that would be good to drive through the forest.

Abi got into the front seat while I slid into the passenger's side. Abi started the engine and drove through the forest. I leaned against the door, watching the trees zip by the window.

Finally, the truck stopped. I opened the passenger door and stepped out. Ahead was the lake with a small wooden dock and a rope hanging from a tree to swing from.

I looked over to see Mason standing a few feet away from the truck, smiling with his bathing suit on and no shirt. It wasn't too much of a surprise. You could tell with his shirt on that he had a good build. He had a six pack and tan skin.

I smiled as I ran over and jumped up into his arms. Mason chuckled as he caught me. We pulled back and smiled. "You look beautiful." Mason glanced around me. "And you as well, Abi."

"Thank you, Mason," Abi said as she dramatically flipped her hair. "I do try. And I try to get this one to do it, too," Abi commented, placing her hands on her hips and gesturing to me.

I rolled my eyes as three different laughs rang in the air. I looked around Abi to see someone approaching us. Alex placed his arm around Abi's shoulders. "Oh, you guys know Alex, right?" Abi asked. We nodded. "Well, I asked him to come along. He's my boyfriend."

I gasped. "Abi! You didn't tell me you had a boyfriend!"

Abi giggled. "Well, I do now."

Mason and Alex did the weird guy thing that all boys do when they see each other. They grabbed each other's hand and pulled each other into an embrace, patting each other on the back. Sometimes, I wonder about guys.

"Take care of her," Mason ordered.

Alex smiled down at Abi since he was taller but only by a little bit. "Always." Abi smiled and kissed his cheek.

"Okay," Abi started, clapping her hands together. "Let's go get in the water! Last one there is a rotten apple!"

"Um...isn't it rotten egg?" I asked.

"No, I say rotten apple. Now, come on!" And we took off after Abi, who was already racing for the water.

I was pulling in front of Mason, and I smirked at him. "Of course, I'm going to win. I always win."

Mason growled playfully. "Oh, really?" Suddenly, I was lifted off of the ground as Mason scooped me up into his arms.

I screamed as I squirmed, trying to get out of his arms. "Mason, no! Please!" He was running straight for the water, holding me tightly. "No, please! You win! You win! Just let go!" I yelled and laughed.
