Wolfheart's Quest #1: The Alpha

Chapter 13

  Aphrodite runs with the girl on her tail. Doing P.E. helps as she makes her way to the police station. Thank God that the police station is near Lawson Park. Aphrodite arrives at the police's door, and starts banging on it. A police officer answers the door. "Yes? Can I help you?" Aphrodite tries to catch her breath. "I'm being chased by a girl! She wants to kidnap me!" The man peeks outside, but there's no one there. The girl hid. "I don't see anyone." "That's because I made it here! She's hiding now." He starts to close the door. "I don't have time for this. She probably just wants to scare you. Now bye." Aphrodite tries desperately to stop him. The door shuts with a bang in her face. She huffs and starts to walk away. Where's the girl now? It's not long before she finds out. Hands clamp over her mouth. She starts to scream, but the touch of cold metal stops her cold. "Scream, and it will be the last thing you do!" The girl whispers into her ear. The girl prompts her along to a deserted building and ties and gags her. The girl pulls out a phone. After typing the numbers, she starts talking in hushed tones. "Chuck?... Yeah, I got her... no, she got to the police, but they didn't listen to her... yeah, I got her right here... that's a great idea... I'll see you then... ok, bye." She hangings up and smiles at Aphrodite. Something in that smile is really unsettling. She unites her legs and prods her to a car. "Get in." Aphrodite does so. The girl hops in and pulls away from the curb. After ten minutes, Aphrodite recognizes the neighbourhood. This is where Lily lives. Pulling out her phone again, the girl dials a number. She puts on a friendly voice. "Hi. Can I speak to Lily, please?... thank you..." Her voice turns cold. "Is this Lily?... good. If you look out the front, you'll see a silver Ute. In it is your best friend, Aphrodite. Do not tell anyone about this, or your friend dies. Come out after everyone is asleep... hmmm?... I guess that's fair. Here." She undoes my gag and holds the phone to my head. "Your friend wants some reassurance. Keep quiet, or else." Aphrodite takes a deep breath. "Lily? This is Aphrodite... uh huh. Listen, don't worry about me. Stay safe. Don't come out!" The girl slaps Aphrodite and regags her. "You heard her. You know she's here, alive. So if you want your friend to live, come out."

  Elsa darts inside Tim's house. She peeks out the window and sees the boy rush past the house. Tim comes up behind her. "Now what is this all about?" Elsa stays next to the window. "Me and a couple of my friends got attacked by two teenagers." Tim pales. "Two-two teenagers? What did they look like?" "Hmm. The boy has red hair and the girl has strawberry brown." "Them? I thought we were done with them ages ago." "That's what I thought, but apparently not. My friends hopefully got away." "I'll go call the police." Tim goes to his phone and calls the police station. "Hello?" "Um, hi. Is this the police station?" Yes, it is. How can I help you?" "My friend is getting stalked by two teenagers. Can you help us, please." "What!? Not this again. Listen, kid. We've had enough of your calls. There's no way we're going over there again. Unless you've got an adult for us to talk to, we won't help you!" Klunk! Beep...Beep...Beep. Tim hangs up. "Just the right time for kids to pull pranks on the police! Looks like we're on our own. You should call your parents, so they know why you're not home." Elsa shakes her head. "Can't." Tim stops. "Can't? Why can't you?" "I don't know the number." Tim gaped. "You don't know your own number? Then call your mother's mobile." "We don't have coverage at our place." Tim sighs. "Fine. You'll have to walk to a sibling's place. I would go, but I can't be bothered and I don't have my proper license yet. Just be careful, ok?" Elsa nods and walks to the door. After saying farewell, she starts walking. It takes a few minutes to realize that she's lost. Twelve years in Mudgee, and she's lost. Everything looks so much different in moonlight. A car moves slowly down the road. It stops and the boy steps out. Elsa starts to run, but a sight freezes her. In his hands is Lily. And she can see Aphrodite in the car with the girl holding a knife to her throat. The boy sees that and smiles wickedly. "Yes. As you can see, if you fail to come, they die. Their blood would be on your hands." Hanging her head, Elsa shuffles over to him and holds out her hands. "Please, let them go and take me. It's clearly not them you want." The boy ties her up and shoves her into the car. "I would, but they've seen too much. And my master has use for them. I would kill them otherwise." Fear whelmed up inside of the girls. What's happening?
