Grace [On Hold]

Chapter 6

Just so you guys know, I will update no matter what, but feedback helps me with writing. Thanks penguins!

~~~~~~~~~~~

After lunch, Jacob leads me to our fifth hour class, walking a little close for comfort. But I didn't mind. Wait, yes I did. I move over slightly in the opposite direction of Jacob, feeling the light brush of his hand disappear. But as soon as I moved, I missed the feeling. I yearned for his touch but didn't move. I don't need a human relationship of any kind.

While we were walking, some random guy comes up to me, blocking my way of passage. I look up at him to see bright red eyes looking at me. I knew exactly what that meant. But I couldn't shift in school. And I had a feeling that he wouldn't risk it either. But that didn't keep me from being scared as shit. I secretly call Alex from my pocket. I waited until he picked up, knowing it was a silent answer.

"Um, if you could excuse us? We kind of have to get to class. I like your eyes by the way. Are they contacts or do you have natural red eyes?" I ask, going for the innocent clueless chick. I hinted Alex on the problem with the unnoticeable change in voice as I said red.

The Rogue narrows his eyes at me, as if knowing what I did. Without saying anything, he growls. Loud. "Run!" I yell at Jacob, and grab his hand and pull him behind me.

"What the hell is going on?" he yells as another roar pierces the air. I shove him into the guy's bathroom and stop him when he tries to leave. I do not need him knowing what I am.

"Stay here. Do not leave, no matter what happens. Do you understand?" I tell him, not wanting him to get hurt. Yeah he's a human, but if humans are killed in a wolf fight, all wolves involved are banished. "I am serious Jacob. You need to stay here."

"Where are you going?" he asks, still trying to get out of the bathroom. I lightly shove him back in. I'm going to have to play the heroine in this little side story.

"I'm going to get help. But I can't get help if I think you are out here somewhere in danger. I don't want another life on my hands. Understand?"

He hesitates for a moment, a look of confusion on his face. He's about to say something else but I stop him, placing a hand on his mouth. I hesitate for a moment before kissing him on the cheek. Sure, I've only known the dude for a day, but...he's gotten to me. Shaking myself out of my thoughts, I push him back in the bathroom and wait a full minute. Once I don't see him pop out, I look around the halls to see them empty, everybody outside. A growl rips through the air as I shift, closer than before. I look at the door again and sprint off towards the sound.

As I pass a hallway, Alex in wolf form turns and starts sprinting next to me.

Why the hell is there a Rouge in the school?

I have no fucking clue. When you called me, Kameron was heading in the class while I was in the hall, so she didn't know anything and by then I already shifted and was heading towards you.

Why would he try exposing himself like that?

He's Rouge, Grace. That means they don't follow the Code anymore.

So we have to expose ourselves just so no one gets hurt? They're a bunch of humans for fucks sake! Why the hell do we have to help them?

Because in the Code, it says, "Children of the Luna goddess must protect and maintain the lives of all living, breathing creatures, humans and animals alike."

I huff. Nerd.

We quit talking and round a corner to see the Rouge in wolf form. He has a solid black coat of fur covering him from head to toe. His red irises glared at us as he snarled, stalking towards us. I keep my stance as Alex takes a slight step forward.

The Rouge's attention zeros in on Alex's movement. That's when all hell breaks loose. The Rouge lunges at Alex while I lunge to cover Alex. Something connects with my shoulder and I'm sent into the wall, earning a few spiderweb cracks from it.

Pulling myself off of the ground, I shake myself off and look at my shoulder. It was bleeding profusely and I hissed in pain. Yes, it's true that we heal faster than humans, but we don't heal right away. We have to deal with the pain for an hour or so before it heals for a wound this bad. I turn my head to face the battle before me. Alex is astride the Rouge, sinking his teeth into the bigger wolf's neck. Alex shakes his head a couple times and the wolf goes limp. I look around to see a crowd forming a good length away from us. I scan the crowd and see Jacob and Kameron next to each other, violently whispering.

"What do you mean you don't know where he is?" Jacob asks her. "I thought he was with you!"

"He was! But then I turned around and he was gone! And what about Grace? I thought she was with you. Where did she go?"

Jacob pauses, hesitant. Please, Jacob, I mentally beg him. He turns to her. "She went to the bathroom and hasn't returned yet. I have no idea where she's at." Thank the Goddess Jacob was smart about the ordeal. I look back at the dead Were only to see black smoke with a pair of red eyes in it. Everyone else would probably see a normal wolf in it's place, but I knew better.

I turn to Alex, who has his eyes on Kameron. They lock eyes and I can see her lips moving. "Oh my God." Her voice was too soft to be heard by Jacob, but we heard her perfectly.

"Alex?"

Okay, so I know this is short and that I haven't updated in a while but I was having a writers block. Those things piss the bloody hell out of me.

I decided to put action in this chapter but I'm not that good at writing it so bare with me. And if you have any ideas, message me and I see if I like them.

Why did Jacob cover for Grace? Is Grace developing feeling for 'a mere human'? I don't know....!

Love Ya, Penguins!

P.S. the side image is Luna...realized I didn't show a pic of her in the chapter she's in...so here ya go!
