The One (White Wolf Series 1)

Chapter Two

Chapter 2            

 As you walked upstairs you turned right and there was another hallway leading down to where the master bedroom was. But to the left of that there was a guest room and there was a bathroom in the hallway in-between the master bedroom and the guest one. I walked into the master bedroom and saw that all the furniture was still in the house. I guess that means no furniture shopping for me. I thought to myself as I sat down a box of my clothes and started unloading them into the dressers. My aunt rushed in “oh sweetie you want to use those?” she asked 

I looked at her with my brow furrowed “what do you mean?”

“I was thinking we could go shopping for some new furniture, these already came with the house and they’re old,” she said wrinkling her nose.

I laughed “its fine, really I don’t need anything fancy” I said also considering how much that would cost,

“Oh darling we would pay for it-” she started to say

“No, you guys have done enough already I’ll be fine, really” I smiled

She rolled her eyes "gosh its like talking to the guys” she said and I laughed

 A couple hours later we had finally gotten all my stuff in the house and unpacked. Well… mostly. I had a couple more boxes of clothes but I could live. I looked at the clock and noticed that it was 6:00pm and I remembered we started at 12:00pm. I sighed, it took us a lot longer since Tyler disappeared with Eric. Plus we had a lunch break so that took up about 20 minutes. I walked downstairs and saw Kalob and Noah lying on the couches, definitely worn out. Actually we all were. I walked over to Kalob because he wasn’t taking as much room as Noah and I fell down next to him and closed my eyes for a minute savoring the relaxation.  

                      

 I woke up when I felt someone carrying me up the stairs. It wasn’t Kalob or Noah, it must have been Tyler because I felt so protected in his arms, plus he was bigger physically. I snuggled in tighter smiling at the warm contact and the vibrations of what sounded like a purr. I felt myself being put down as I came in contact with the bed. I knew I could open my eyes but I was so worn out that all I wanted to do is sleep. I could hear Tyler beginning to walk away and I felt the warmth go away. I frowned and grabbed out and caught his hand feeling warmth shoot up my arm as I dragged him down to lay down next to me and cuddled up against him and fell back into a deep abyss.

 I woke up to wood creaks from the house; I looked around and didn’t see Tyler anywhere. I frowned and got up putting my hair in a ponytail and walked downstairs looking at the time. It was 7:30am. Dang, I slept for a really long time. I went over to a box on the floor and grabbed out my coffee maker and went inside the cabinets to get some coffee mix and started making some coffee to wake me up. I walked back upstairs to get changed when I heard the creak again.           

 My eyes widened as I looked around and I went over to a cabinet, I opened it slowly making sure it would be quiet and I got out a chef knife. As I walked upstairs I felt a presence behind me and as I turned around a giant guy dressed in all black jumped out of nowhere on to me. I felt pain shoot up my back from myself hitting contact with the ground and I aimed my hand towards him with the knife and it turned sideways as he grabbed my wrist and angled it to where I couldn’t hit him and he pinched my wrist hard with his hand to where I cried out in pain and dropped the knife. I saw a sick twisted smile appear on his face and his eyes turned to a dark shade of black. I screamed and I kicked him hard in his crotch and he fell to the ground, I grabbed my knife and dashed to the kitchen and by then he was up, he must have had super speed or something because he somehow caught my ankle and I fell. I looked back and stabbed his hand making him scream as blood gushed from his hand. I sprinted out of my house and I saw a guy out front and a guy outback who glanced over at the house they heard the guy scream and the guy in front went inside while the guy outback looked at me and started running towards me.

Right as I embraced for the impact his body, it never hit me and I heard an ‘oomph’ as someone hit the ground. I looked up to see Eric only wearing jean shorts this time, he grabbed me and carried me in his arms as he sprinted into the forest. 

“Where are we going? This is a dead end and they’ll find us!” I said

“Trust me” was all he answered.

First of all I didn’t even know this guy, but he did just save my life. Why was he out by my house anyway? Right now I don’t think I have another option considering my bruised ankle that was know starting to feel the effects. After a couple minutes of hard-core sprinting we emerged out of the woods and into a back yard.

“TYLER!” he shouted as he ran to the porch and Tyler came rushing out with a couple other guys and he looked at Eric confused and then looked at me and his eyes widened

“What the hell happened?” he asked getting angry seeing blood on me.

“That’s not my blood” I half whispered my eyes were threatening tears. This time I had both guys confused “whose blood is it then?” Tyler asked

“The guy in my house” I said choking with tears

”I thought that was your blood” Eric said letting out a breath and he took a look at my arm and saw the bruises from when the guy grabbed my arm and I saw anger pass through his eyes

“Wait back up, what the hell happened?” Tyler exclaimed

I explained how I got up and to make some coffee and thought I heard someone and how I encountered attacker one, stabbed him with my knife, ran outside then encountered attacker two and how Eric came in time. (I left out the part about his eyes turning black for my own good)

“You stabbed him?” Tyler asked surprised

“I didn’t really have another option,” I said in a hoarse voice not liking the fact that I had stabbed a living-breathing creature

Tyler stood there and looked at Eric then back to me and he patted me on the back

“Hey Eric take her to my mom so she can fix her up” he said

“Aren’t you going to call the police?” I asked

“Yeah that’s what I’m going to go do now” he said but by the look he gave Eric I had the feeling that wasn’t the truth. However before I could process it Eric lifted me up and carried me to my aunt.
