I yanked Alex's—I mean, Tate's, whatever!—bag, since it was the nearest thing my hand yanked on. "Danger!" I yelled. Tate made a sound of surprise.
I ran on a fallen tree; a thick, fallen tree. That was what my eyes first saw. I leaped and quickly hid. I let go of Tate's bag because he wasn't a kid anymore to be guided. Something's wrong here, I observed.
"What do you think you're doing?! C'mon and hide," I tapped the ground twice to show where he could possible hide. Maybe he didn't know where to hide, or maybe, he was opposing to my idea of hiding behind a fallen tree.
He couldn't speak, I knew it. Based from what he was doing. He looked like someone having difficulty stopping from pissing himself because the comfort room was too full of men or the comfort room was too far. Only he wasn't holding the thing between his legs. His mouth, it looked like it was zipped or sewed. And his eyes, rolling from right to left and left to right.
"What's the problem with you, Tate? You want to die, is that what you want to tell me?" My voice was really panicky.
He spoke when they were there. Right behind me. I could smell the scent. And when I did, realization hit me. Now I knew why . . .
It was Alex's pack. Yeah, pack o' wolves.
Only they weren't in their wolf forms anymore.He walked toward his friends. And there were four of them—one woman, three men. Shirtless men. And they all have those abs. Ain't sure of the girl, though. There was a gym in this place?!
"Tate!" The first man who hugged him said. And yup, gotta get used to the new name now, li'l tongue!
"Hey, you've grown muscles," he said after he let go of the hugs. He also stated his observations for the next two men after they all traded hugs.
"Luna . . ." he whispered. Lisa threw herself into him for a very tight hug. And apparently, also a very long hug. If I didn't exist, I bet this girl would be his Clarissa.
"Tate, I've missed you," she was grinning, happiness was so obvious in her smile. But the most shocking thing was a kiss on Tate's cheek."I know," he replied, ignoring the kiss or maybe he was just used to it.
"Let's go hunt!" One of his friends offered.
Tate looked at me, of course he did. But a lingering look, like he was passing the question or offer to me. I am not your mother, Alex or Tate.
He blinked his eyes. "Selene, meet my pack. This is Melchik," I looked at the first man, he was the oldest. He had a bonnet over his head. He displayed a smile. "Fredic;" The second guy, who told him to go for a hunt. He had a white skin, the lightest of them all. But he was skinny. He had bushy eyebrows as well. "Jonowuf;" He waved a hand to me and showed a dazzling smile. As if his teeth glistened. His face had the looks of a future model. Trust me. He was the youngest. "And Luna. The only she-wolf in the pack." The girl was giving me a different feeling within, something quite wrong. Or was it just a bad omen? She only raised her eyebrows as a greeting. Kinda rude. Dark-haired, dark eyes, but her face could tell literally everybody that this girl's aggressive. That she isn't scared of anything or anyone at all. I liked her immediately, though. If she was in the human's world, she'd be most likely working as a soldier.
"You look like a human," Luna told me, her face giving an insulting look. A judging one.
"Only I'm not," I replied, forcibly smiling. I had to be good to them.
"She's a bloodsucker, Luna."She just nodded, when she looked at me from head to foot. "Let's go," she said, jogging, and then in the blink of an eye later, changed herself into a black wolf form.
Then she was followed by her three other friends, simultaneously transforming forms.
Alex didn't follow, though. He lingered to look at me.
"Whatcha staring at, me boy?" I asked him.
"Is it okay if I . . .?"
"Are you kidding me right now, Tate? Stop it. Go and have fun. It's been years since you had a hunt with your pack. It's fine."
"Do you even know the way?" He asked, his emotion was simply just concerned.
"Oh, come on. I'm an explorer, remember?" I leaned over.
He smiled a genuine smile and suddenly kissed me hard on the mouth. "Bye. Blood. Sucker." He waved, and I watched him fading into the woods.
I breathed deeply. Thinking where I should probably go. This was the first time I performed an exploration alone. Maybe I had to film this, and then post this somewhere.
Should I go this way, or that way? Well, who cares? If I get lost, Father would find me. So no worries, Selene Lockhart.
Maybe I was walking for a hundred miles already, but each moment here was really memorable. The beauty of it was definitely incomparable. No such wonder could ever be compared to this blue forest (could I even call it 'Blue Forest'?). Like I said, it seemed like every tree living on the planet was here, just in one place.
I found a blossom tree, or was it? Based from the previous trees I had seen, this was the biggest and the most fruitful. Was this the only tree living in the forest? Only the vamps and wolves here know the answer to that.
I found it when I was walking and it attracted me uncontrollably, it was manipulating me to go there simply because the sight was absolutely filled with awe. Japan. I would name this the Blossom Tree.
But it was when the gray, nimbus clouds invaded the skies and raindrops attacked me cruelly. I was taking the tree as my shade but I found out it was of no use at all because the rain was slipping through the flowers.
I was definitely not waiting for myself and my clothes, most especially, to get wet.
I held the straps of my backpack, while I pressed on.
