Keeping (On Hold)

Chapter 4 ('o')

Authors Note: Okay just a little heads up! There will be a new character introduced in this chapter. Also I would like to apologize for being really super late for uploading! Oh, and there are going to be flashbacks about Iris's past and how she met people, how she was treated because I think I sort of rushed into the story instead of explaining things a bit better. I never really gave good examples of how Iris was treated in her old pack and such. So I figured that with flashbacks you guys would get a picture about it:) So yeah, and sorry if this is super short! I will upload as soon as I can, hopefully two days from now:) ('o') I will try my best! Oh and I am working on a new story that I think I will like more than "Keeping."

It is called "Changing Ways," and it is about a girl named Christina Dawson who is the most popular slut of her high school, that is until she meets Owen Baker, the new guy. He is tall, funny, cute and every girls dream guy, but Christina just wants to use him like every other guy she has slept with. Owen isn't so big about Christina himself, but what happens when they start to hit it off? Will Christina change her ways, or will she just change Owen into a cold hearted guys right after she dumps him?

So yeah I am expecting to publish "Changing Ways," as soon as I get done with the first chapter, cover, and the summary (check:) which should be around June the fourteenth or June the sixteenth cause i just started it today.

Iris's POV

I stood there for a second, mouth open. My friends. Asher. Without warning I dropped to the floor and wept. They killed my “family” my new family. The ones who I loved. The ones who let me restart. The ones who didn't judge me for my past, for the way I looked.

“Hey, are you, um, okay?” Jack asked, placing a hand on my shoulder. I slapped it off and stood up. I wiped away my tears and grabbed Jack by the throat.

“You killed my family!” I screamed in his face. He choked. “You killed my pack! You killed my friends. You killed everyone I ever cared about!” I shifted and he dropped to the ground. I had the urge to rip him apart. I growled at him and he backed away but soon the wall was blocking him from going any further. I crept up to him, fangs ready to be put to use.

“Stay back!” he shouted. I kept coming, as if his words didn't even phase me. Truth was, they didn't. Tyler killed my new family. I was done being nice and patient. I was getting out of here if it was the last thing I ever did. I wasn't going to die this way, giving everyone a reason to be ashamed. If I know them they will be watching over me. Encouraging me to go on. This pack doesn't deserve the respect that they get from other packs. I will kill everyone of them.

“Get me out of here, Jackson,” I growl at him, using his real name. Because he was part wolf he knew what I was saying even though I was in wolf form. He nodded rapidly and ran over to the door, tripping the way there. I followed him. I snapped at him when he didn't go fast enough. I don't even think he knew how to get out but he did. He must have picked the locked or something, though. He opened the door and I shifted back into human. I walked past him as he held the door open. I looked back to him and I could see he was sweating...wimp.

“You will stall as me.” He gave me a confused look and I pushed him into the room. I slammed the door and locked it. I smiled and walked off, leaving him completely and utterly confused with terror.

Serves him right for killing my family. My new family. My pack! I growl at the thought and duck when I see Tyler walking past. I hid under a table that was in the hallway. He was walking with a girl. I recognize her as Lina, Chloe's sister. Lina was only a year younger than Chloe, and she was extremely beautiful and acted just like Chloe. From what I could see she was crying.

“Oh, Tyler. I can't believe Iris even killed Chloe! What did Chloe ever do to her!” she wept. Tyler had his arm around her and was holding her close.
