Runaway (Jackie's Story)

Chapter 17

I was looking anxiously at the clock. It was 11:59. The knob turned and I was on my feet, Dalia walked in with Avonlea in her arms, "Are you okay?" I saw my reflection in her eyes, but I quickly looked away, "I'm fine. But you need to give Lea to someone. It's time." She nodded, "Call Quil." I yelled, "Quill!!" There was a knock at the door and Quil came in, "You called Angel?" I smiled and then felt the first pulse. I gasped and dropped to my knees, clutching my head. He kneeled by me, "are you okay?" I nodded, "Its starting. Just get Avonlea and stay indoors." I looked into his forest green eyes, "Iloveyou." He looked into my dark blue eyes and kissed me gently, "As Iloveyou Angel." Then Dalia yelped and dropped to her knees, I knew my eyes flashed because I could smell Quil's sudden fear, "stay indoors. Whatever you do. Don't let anyone out!!" I clutched Dalia's hand, got up, and dragged her downstairs and out the door. I heard the locks click into place and I saw Quil press a hand to the window and then he was gone.

As soon as we were outside and in the moonlight, the second wave hit, and we both screamed bloody murder. I felt bones shift and break, my spine twisted and kept on twisting. I could feel myself slipping away and my wolf gaining control for the night. I looked over at Dalia and she was clawing at her skin. The third and final wave hit, and my wolf exploded through my skin, I was no longer in control. I was at my wolf's mercy. I snuck a glance at Dalia and her wolf had completely taken over. I whimpered slightly and surrendered to darkness.

*Crimson's POV*

My eyes fluttered open and I howled in happiness. I looked over at Aleera and she was shaking out her light brown fur. I growled over at her, [Aleera. Since this is your first actual blood moon, I'm going to explain it. You will want blood. A lot of blood. You will want to kill. And you're going to. Just be prepared to have Dalia freaking out.] She laughed, [Shes tougher than she looks. She may even be tougher than Jackie.] There was a arrogant tone to her voice and I smirked, [As if. Jackie's killed hundreds. She's a cold blooded killer.] Aleera's eyes sparkled, [Bet?] I lunged at her, [Bet.] Aleera laughed, [Killing contest. Who ever freaks out in the morning loses and has to run around naked!!] I laughed, [You're on Aleera.] She grinned showing her fangs, [After you, Crimson.] I smirked and leaped into the forest with her at my heels.
