A Cold Night!

Now what?

                My eyes shot close in fear and waited for the worst. A second passed than nothing. Then 10 seconds passed and I was still there. I decided to open my eyes and find out what had happened. Go my surprise no one was there. I was left alone in a place I had no idea how I had gotten into. Perfect.

             I got up to my feet and slowly began walking to the direction that felt the closest one to civilization. It was extremely quiet and I could hear the delicate leafs breaking under my feet and the sound of night time creatures roaming around the place.

                    "Rrrrroooooarrrr" I head a loud sound that came from my right. I stepped slowly trying to not make a sound and checked out what was going on.

                      "She killed him Jake. Mason our dear brother is gone because of that girl."

          I heard someone scream. He sounded pretty agitated. Seriously in need of a chill pill.

                       "Listen to what you are saying Zack. She didn't do anything. If it wasn't for us we probably would have been attacked without us knowing. Besides they cross to our territory." I heard Jake reply.

            I got closer and saw Jake and the other guy. His hair shorter than Jake's and a little shorter in height. Still he seemed pretty strong.

                          "Don't try to blame this on the so claimed territory. We have been fighting for that ungrateful smug and what does she give us? Pain and sorrow? She deserves to die!"

                            "Listen to me. Mason died like a hero. He gave his life to protect the life of the person that has out existence in her hands. Dont you think it hurts me as well? He was my brother too? Part of my life passed with him. But I can't do anything now. He is done but we still have things to do. You can't blame her." are they talking about me?

                              "Ha ha ha don't make me laugh Jake. The only reason you want to protect her so much is because she is your" he said before I committed the stupidity to take a small step forward and falling at their view. I was screwed.

                Zack the brother that hated me turned to me. The desire in his eyes for my blood dispersed all over the ground was burning my skin.

                               "Well you just made this easier. I won't have to look for you." he said and walked to me. I did what I did best got up and tried to look scary but all I got was an annoying laugh.

                                 "I am sorry Zack." I heard Jake say and then threw himself at him hitting him really hard on the head leaving him unconscious.

                             "What?"

                               "No time for what's. We have to go now. I need to keep you safe." he gently picked me up and carried me on his shoulders and ran.

              When we arrived at the house he sat me down carefully in the couch. My head was spinning so fast I thought I was going to throw up but I tries to get up anyway.

                              "No dont move right now. You are light headed." he said getting a hold of my arm. I felt electricity pump up in my blood. I felt better already. "Besides you got in a fight with your mom before you came here so you cant jut go to her. Just call her and tell her you are ok." he suggested.

                               "But I can't. I have to go home." I insisted.

                              "I am not letting you. I can only protect you if you are in our territory and under my supervision. If you leave I don't know what will happen to you. I can't put you in danger."

                              "But why are you so worried about me?" I sat up stubbornly. He took his arm back giving up on trying to hold me down. "And if I am in danger is my mom in danger also?"

                                "right now let's just say that you are very 'wanted' among certain people. So if to get you they need to get to your mom first they will do it in a blink of an eye. So let's just say your mom is safer without you."

               What?! I couldn't even see my mom?

                                "Wait so what am I going to do? I need to help mom! What if they get to her and I can't help her?"

                               "Nothing is happening to your mom as long as you are not with her."

                              "But she is alone at home!"

                             "Ok listen if this makes you feel better your mom will be safe as long as she is in the house"

                             "What makes you think that?"

                                 "Your house is in neutral territory. No one can come in and attack."

                               "But what if they attack her at work? Or at the store? Maybe the bank? Maybe even the gas station?!"

              I awaited for an answer to the millions of questions I had to ask but nothing came out of his lips. He was staring into space like if he had left his body and the only thing that was in front of me was an empty vessel.

            I got up to my feet and stared at him. His beautiful blue and gray eyes were deep in thought. His lips appeared soft and open to kiss. What! I can't be thinking like this right now. I needed answers and needed them fast.

                   "Hey Jake wake up!" I said snapping my fingers in front of his face. Nothing. Then I did the next thing that came to my mind. I smacked him in the face.

                     "Ouch!" he screamed and nursed his red cheek. "What the hell was that for?"

                   "Sorry. Hey what happened? you were zoomed into your own little world."

                  "We need to go." he said straight out.

                   "Ummm go where?"

                   " To our camp."

                 "But why do I have to go?"

                  "Do you want to keep your mom alive?" he said with a serious face. Of course I wanted her alive and I all I wanted was for her to be save.

                 "ok but I need to call her. What do I  tell her?"

                 "Tell her you are with a friend and that you needed some time off the house."

                   "Ok" I said getting a phone he handed to me. I grabbed it and walked to the kitchen.

           When mom answered she was worried sick. I guess with all the drama I had forgotten that time was passing by and it was already 10 pm. Oopsy. I gave her the lame excuse waiting to hear an 'I don't believe you tell me where you are' or 'I am calling the police' but surprisingly she was okay with it and told me to take care and all her every now and then to let her know how I was doing. I agreed to everything and hung up.

                   "Ok I am ready" I said walking to Jake. He had another phone in his hands and he had just gotten off the phone also.

                   "Good cause our plane leaves in an hour."

                    "What? Plane? Where the heck is your camp?" I asked.

"Europe."
