Night Walkers

Five - Cold

Waking up was not what I had expected.

It was five in the morning when Violet came into my room demanding I get up and be ready in ten. Leaving me only a few minutes to get showered and get ready.

Now I was stuck wearing my black sports bra again and one of the females short shorts. Saying I was uncomfortable was a big understatement.

Especially because Damia had caught us as we where running around the mountain. Apparently it's an 'easy task' but by my heavy breathing it was far from it, nearly gave me a heart attack. I had taken about five long breaks after the first hour. Even though I told Violet to go on he stayed by me as we watched Damia run past us, meaning she lapped me once again.

"Come on, we are almost there." Violet says trying to encourage me as I stood bend over with one hand on my thigh and one on my pulse. As if checking to see my heart actually was staying inside my body.

"Wow even I did better than this and I was only sixteen." She says lapping me once again, this time my wolf had had it and our tired breaths turned into a storm of anger as we stood up and ran after her.

Once she turned around from her slight jog seeing us on her tail she quickly turned into a full sprint.

Our body's competing against each other as we saw the front of the house come into view. Pushing me to the side she ran ahead and cheered as she beat me to the line. I growled at her snarling as my wolf didn't appreciate her cheating.

"Oh hush mutt, no one likes a sore loser, in fact no one likes you at all." She snickers and I let out a deep growl, a warning from Angela to back off.

"Hey what's going on?" Violet asks finally catching up to us as he walks it out coming towards the finish line.

"Nothing Macarius dear! Just celebrating my victory lap!" She says spinning in a circle on the line as I just rumble my chest as I walk into the house, or at least I tried when the door wouldn't budge.

"You can't even open that, what a joke." She says laughing throwing her hair over her shoulder, I growl and drop the door handle. My growls were used very little, I didn't like scaring people because I had an un average growl for females. With more raspiness to it.

"Leave me alone." I say in a warning glaring back at her, I've got pushed around all my life by boys. So this can't be too hard.

"Or what? Gonna go call daddy to take you away again?" My eyes widen, how the hell does she know... "Oh wait, he doesn't remember you exist." She says with a smirk on her face.

"Damia, leave." Violet says finally speaking up, she looks over at him and glares before turning around and shifting into a blond wolf and running on the bridge out of here.

I look back at Violet with hurt and anger.

"I don't need you to fight my battles." I say and start to walk away from him, leaving the front entrance giving up on getting inside his stupid palace.

I found myself a little bit lost but at least I was still safe on his island thingy. It was actually quite beautiful where I found myself to be. A large cherry blossom tree covered me from the small pellets of rain that has started a few minutes ago. I was on a cliff but had plenty of room, about ten feet away from the edge was where the tree started. The flowers covering the ledge all the way over the surface. A thick dirt wall blocked any view to the east as it stood tall and firm to my left. Other than that I was surrounded by plant life, making this my little safe heaven.

The ocean looked beautiful, I could smell the salt as the waves crashes against the cliff, still not tall enough to touch me though.

"Look who I found." I look over to my right seeing Archilles joining me out of the rain, only wearing shorts as he showed off his perfect physique. Leaning against a tree with his forearm he gives me a cocky smirk making me roll my eyes and turn my head back to the ocean view.
