The Darkest Shadows

Chapter 2: First Day Without Jessie

I think the changes are coming along quite well. Let me know what you guys think!!

~Lizzie's POV~

We left yesterday and I feel like a huge chunk of me was left behind. That chunk is my best friend and sister Jessie. I woke up this morning and saw I had a text from Jessie. I started to tear up. Jessie wasn't here. Her and Chloe are like sisters to me. We have been best friends for years. We have never had a fight face to face. Only two over some stupid texts and a bad break up. That was the sign of true friendship. Chloe and I had gotten to our temporary homes. There are these homes all over the United States that are for wolves that are being introduced to the human world for the first time. Chloe and I are sisters. There were suppose to be three of us, but Jessie was taken away. Chloe is in her room unpacking while I just sit here wishing our other sister was here to experience this with us. I started to tear up again, Chloe walked in and sat on my bed before pulling me into a hug. I looked up to see her eyes were red and puffy.

"Were you crying too?" I asked with a sniffle.

"Yes. Jessie was suppose to be here with us. Be our other sister. When we were little I would imagine this day and I would always say 'the three musketeers will rule the world!!' Do you know who I thought the three musketeers were? You, Jessie and me." Chloe said getting a small chuckle out of me.

"Really?"

"Yes really. Now we need to get ready for school tomorrow." She said.

"Ok." was my reply as she left. That's right we were starting our junior year of high school.

••Dream••

Jessie ran in front of me, her silver almost white wolf bounding faster and faster. Chloe came up beside me, her black wolf, Zora, gave me a wolfish grin before bolting towards Jaiyana, Jessie's wolf. I let Maliha, my wolf, take control to catch up with them.

'Can't you run any faster?' Jaiyana questioned in a mocking tone.

'Shut it.' Maliha growled as she pushed our legs faster.

'Oh come on Maliha it's just a game.' Zora laughed into my head. They both skidded to a halt in a meadow. They shifted back and they were wearing their battle outfits. Black leather pants, black long sleeved shirt, black finger gloves and black knee high boots. Chloe's hair was up in a bun and Jessie's was in a ponytail. I shifted and I was in my battle outfit also. They both smiled, their eyes turning into a black abyss. Jessie's claws extended and she slashed Chloe's throat. She smiled, her eyes fading red.

"This is what is going to happen if you leave me alone to die in Dog Fighting Rings." She snarled. I stared at her in shock.

"You won't ever tell me where you are. I can't mind link you-"

"Ah, but you can because I'm closer than you think Lizzie. You are going to leave me there for 'pack' reasons. You are just going to feed me to the dogs. No help, no savior, no nothing. If you leave me to die, I will never, ever forgive you." She snarled before shifting and leaping at me.

••End Of Dream••

I woke up with my alarm clock blaring in my ear. I turned it off and got up to go get dressed. I grabbed my faded blue jean shorts and put them on. I grabbed a white tank top and my favorite red flannel. I went to my closet found my black vans and put them on. I straightened my hair and put on my black beanie. I walked down stairs and saw Chloe sitting at the counter staring at a cup of coffee. She was wearing a black jacket with a blue and white striped shirt underneath, long sleeved. Blue jeans and cowgirl boots. Her hair was straightened.
