Primal Inheritance: Freedom [COMPLETED]

Chapter 5: Left

Allen

"What time is it?" I yawned and woke up. I looked at my left arm, but my watch wasn't there. I tried to roll over to the left side of my bed, but Marissa was there, breathing softly. This day was already better than the last 23 birthdays I had.

I tried to move out the bed without waking her and discovered she had my watch on too. Blessings after blessings. Instead of getting completely up, I just sat up and continued to watch her sleep. Then my phone started to ring.

I had to look for it because at the moment, all I had on was underwear. Luckily, Marissa hadn't tossed my pants too far away from the bed and I was able to reach them without getting up. Sure enough, my phone was there.

The first thing I noticed was that it was on 14 percent. I've never let my phone drop below 80 in my life. I was OCD about it. It took me a minute to remember I was unconscious last night and did not actually come home by myself.

The caller was David. Should I pretend to be sick? No. Hell no. I'm not getting paid, I have my volunteer hours, I'm basically just a slave at this point. I let it stop ringing and then I sent an email. Danielle and I are not going to make it today. Our families have plans.

This could be a great excuse for Danielle, for me, not so much. Danielle is Honduran, and there are lots of holidays she could say to get out of work. Me? I was just a regular African American. I don't even know much about African culture. I couldn't even claim Kwaanza without being caught in a lie.

I knew Danielle wouldn't go without me. I should probably go to her house and see how she's coping with all the crap we dealt with yesterday. Just then, Marissa snapped awake, and she looked angry as hell.

"Leave us alone! I fucking hate you!" She screamed. She had hopped out of bed and was growing at the door.
"What's going on? What's happening?" She was starting to scare me. I could only think of one person that would make her like this.

I moved towards the door, about to open it and look out, and we both heard a loud crashing sound, and next thing I know, I was being lifted off my feet. Donovan had burst through the window. He grabbed me by my neck and flung me towards the wall.

Marissa

Why the fuck is he so jealous?! Why won't he leave us alone? After the Hunt, I lost track of Donovan and Jamie. There was nothing unusual about that, sometimes we lose our humanity and go completely wolf. When that happens, our pack kinda splits up.

We could find each other with our mental connection, but sometimes, we just want to be alone for a while, so we block our minds from each other.

I was sleeping peacefully after I came back to Allen's apartment. I snuggled in next to him. I almost wished I could read his mind. Then, I felt a surge of hot anger in my head. It was Donovan. The more I focused, I realized he was coming after us. And he was getting close, fast. I couldn't pinpoint his location, but I knew he was in the building.

His anger was enough to snap me out of my blissful sleep. "Leave us alone! I fucking hate you!" I screeched. I looked at the door. I felt like he would appear from there. I was going to be ready for him. I was going to rip his fucking head off. It can be reconnected. We all know that... From experience.

I heard a loud crashing sound, like a bunch of glass had been broken. I turned around and Donovan had broken in through Allen's window. I screamed. Donovan was too fast. He grabbed Allen by the back of his head, and through the wall, creating a very big hole in the wall.
