The Lunar Saga: Crescent Moon (Book 1)

Chapter 19: Racing to the unexpected

Coming down stairs with Leah, everyone seemed worried.

“What’s wrong?” Leah said

“Jacob said their was another wolf in the area” Seth said …in disbelief

I looked up quickly, can it be the same wolf I thought to myself. 

“The wolf seems to be looking for something or someone…or else he wouldn’t have left” Jacob said

Everyone thought the same question, “what was he looking for?” Seth said

“I don’t know, but he noticed when I was nearby. Sam followed him up until the stream when two wolves appear; they seemed to be waiting for the one we were following. However, I stayed in the town just in case. I wanted to know what the wolf was staring, so I placed my position in his. And…” he gulped the last sentence while looking at me.

“And what?” Embry said

“He was staring at the Clearwater’s house….he was staring at Kris while she was heading to bed again.”

Everyone looked at Kris, some of the wolves were getting upset, epically Leah.

“Why didn’t you ripe his damn head off?! That peeping tom!” Leah lashed out while she holds back her anger.

Jacob ignored her anger and looked at me “Kris, do you have another pack looking for you? Are you in trouble?”

I shook my head in shocked. “Someone looking for me? Another wolf?”

“Don’t worry, no one is taken you away from us” Leah said

“But what if Kris is the “danger” as Paul looked at me with harsh words “what if she actually brings danger towards all of us, epically the town.” he finally said.

I couldn’t believe what Paul said… How can I ever hurt the town people, the tribe? They all have been so nice to me. I would never put their lives on the line.

Without any hesitation, Leah told Jacob the truth about my past…and then everyone knew. In their eyes, I saw tear forming, hate and sorrow in their faces.

“Your…..your family were…killed….” Jacob said with such sadness in this throat. I can tell he was chocking in his own words.

I turned to face Leah “How could you? I didn’t expect you to tell them right away!”

“They had to know, with the situation going on; I couldn’t stand them blaming you anymore. You’ve been through so much”.

“I can manage!” I told her as I stormed out

“Wait?” Leah called out but Jacob stopped her.

I headed towards the forest, dodging trees as if being chase. I didn’t care about the scratches on my arms or legs from the branches that were in my way. I didn’t know what I was doing or why I was angry? I just wanted to get away. Finally I stopped at the edge of the rocks, crawling to breath for air, looking down at water, realizing where I stood; the river between La-push and Forks. I wanted to scream my heart out. I looked back… This is my chance to run away again. I’ve gotten to close. What if Paul is right? What if the villagers come to harm …because of me?

Part of me…knew that wolf last night and… part of me wanted to stay away. Why couldn’t I remember? I clutched my fist, shaking, trying to control my temper. I was more angry about myself than anyone. There has to be a memory, there has to be something!… an object or something to remember! I scattered for clues in my head but suddenly I was disturbed from a sound in the woods…on the other side. I turned around and watched closely.
