Lost (#Wattys2016)

Chapter 6

"Come on! Do it! We need some entertainment!" Connor shouted. "Why me?!" Jay groaned. "Because you lost you idiot!" I shouted. "Fine! I'll do it! Happy?!" He shouted throwing his hands up in the air. He sat in the middle of the circle with Kaeyla in front of him. He looked into her eyes and I could see the evident blush going up his neck to his face. Damn this boy was blushing hard...

I remember tears streaming down your face when I said I'll never let you go...

When all the shadows almost killed your light...

I remember you said don't leave me here alone

But all that's dead and gone and past... tonight...

Just close your eyes

The sun is going down

You'll be alright

No one can hurt you now

Come morning light

You and I'll be safe and sound...

Don't you dare look out your window darling everything's on fire

The war outside our door keeps raging on...

Hold onto this lullaby even when the music's gone...

Gone...

Just close your eyes...

The sun is going down

You'll be alright

No one can hurt you now...

Come morning light...

You and I'll be safe and sound...

Just close your eyes...

The sun is going down...

You'll be alright...

No one can hurt you now...

Come morning light

You and I'll be safe and sound

Ooh...

Ooh...

Ooh...

Ooh...

La la...

La la...

Ooh...

Ooh...

Ooh...

Ooh...

La la...

Just close your eyes...

You'll be alright...

Come morning light...

You and I'll be safe and sound...

Ooh...

Ooh...

Ooh...

Ooh...

Ooh...

Oh. My. God. He was such an amazing singer! I was looking at the both of them blush their faces off. Aww... How cute...

"I think we should go Clary..." Erin said, looking out the window. I stood up and took a look out at where she was looking at. There were hordes of... Let's call them... Devourers... Yes. There were hordes of Devourers walking towards us from the end of the streets. There was about two hundred and seventy metres before they reached us.

"Everyone! Take your bags! Now!" I shouted at them and grabbed my bag by the door. Everyone scrambled up and took their bags. "Don't make a sound when walking. Don't talk or anything. Make sure you stick close to me." I instructed them. They all nodded their heads. I opened the door slowly, making as little sound as possible.

We walked down the stairs to the first floor. I looked back and saw the first of the devourers reaching us. Fifty metres. I walked faster, avoiding all the obstacles along the way. Bricks, wood, other construction stuff... I picked up the pace and started jogging a little.

Oh no... They were catching up! I looked in front of me and saw the edge of a treeline. I ran towards it, everyone else trailing behind me. "Climb! Climb! UP the trees! NOW!" I shouted at them they started climbing up and I ran about helping a few. I heard groaning sounds and turned around. I was surrounded. All by the Devourers. I backed up all the way. My back hit a tree.

This is going to be the end of it isn't it... At least I saved the rest... I shut my eyes, tears streaming down my face. I waited for the Devourers to grab me and bite into me, eating me up. But the impact never came... Instead, I heard growling. There was a gigantic wolf in front of me! Bloody Hell!!

It had its body in front of me, sort of like its using its body to defend me. More wolves started coming out, surround the Devourers from all sides. They growled and it seemed like their eyes clouded over for a second. The one in front of me pounced on them and started killing them.

Once they were done, I looked at them wide-eyed. The wolf that was defending me just now had a black full black coat. It slowly walked towards me and I forgot about my body full of weapons. I coward back into the tree in fear. The wolf whimpered and crawled towards me before resting it's head on my lap. The other wolves were gone but it seemed like this wolf just wanted to protect me! I slowly reached my hand out, thinking whether I should pet it or not. I sighed and slowly placed my hand on its head and it growled in pleasure. I don't know why but it liked it. Even wierder thing was. When I placed my hand on its head, I felt sparks fly up and down my whole body. It was not like those that hurt but it gave me pleasure. I felt like I wanted to stay there forever and cuddle with this wolf! Wait. What?! This is so wierd...

"Alpha!" A guy walked out from behind a tree. "Rogues..." I heard him mumble. What? Who was he talking to? The wolf stood up and walked behind a tree. But. A man walked out from behind the same tree a little while later. After a whole lot of popping and cracking sounds. "Who are you?" I asked him, my eyebrows furrowed.

"Mate!" He growled. He walked over to me and stretched out a hand. I took it and he pulled me up and into his embrace. I immediately felt sparks explode all around my whole body. I gasped in shock. It can't be... No... It's impossible... They are just tales, myths! But then how can I explain what is hugging me to its chest? No. It really is. They are real. The man hugging me. He is a werewolf! And he said mate... Shit. But Connornis my boyfriend! Oh god help me!! What am I supposed to do now? Reject him and kill him of heartbreak? Stay with him and leave him? How in the world am I suposed to choose one boy to be with?!

"Hey! Let go of her now!" Connor shouted. "And what right do you have to stop me?" He demanded, authority filling his voice. "On the account that I am her boyfriend!" Connor shouted at him. Oh god... It's not going to be pretty...
