Whispering Pines Woods

The stranger in the dark

He then got up, clutching his stomach. He looked at me, weirdly, cocking his head to one side.

"Gemma Donahue?" He asked me, still looking fumed from getting the wind knocked out of him by a girl.

"Yes?" I asked him while looking at a van that was rapidly coming closer to were I was standing.

"Your going to have to come with me please. Step into the van."

I looked at him again. I was trying to see if he was joking or not. His eyes looked completely serious.

I laughed to myself. Who did this guy think he was? Some kind of sucky kidnapper, thats what.

"Hahaha!" I laughed in his face.

"Is this how you pick up girls normally? Because it isn't going to work on me."

He muttered something very nasty, while motioning to the van. I started to slowly step back to Cora's house. I then broke out into a full on sprint. I loved the feeling of the wind in my hair, it was a great feeling. I could see her house now, it was not even 50 meters away. I started to slow down, when I bumped into something that was very hard.

"Oww!" I shrieked while rubbing my head.

"That really hurt!" I whined to myself.

I slowly opened my eyes, only to have kidnapper boy staring right into them.

"Great," I muttered to myself.

He looked at me and laughed. "For a girl who can fight like a man, you cry like a little girl."

"Says the guy who got flipped by 5'2 105 pound girl!"

"Look," He said, looking slightly embarassed. "We can either do this the hard way or the easy way. Which way is it going to be?"

I looked over to the van. A man was stepping out with something in his hand. I started to think of ways to get out of this, and found the easiest solution: When in doubt, shout like hell.

"Ahhh! CORA! HELP! SOMEBODY!" I started to run but someone grabbed my shoulders. It was the other guy who stepped out. He had slightly curly blonde hair and the brightest green eyes that I have ever seen. Like the other guy, they were glowing in the dark.

"Finn! Get back in the car! I am handling it fine."

Finn's grip got tighter on my shoulders. "Look, little girl. Your father wants to see you. And if I do not get you to him by tomorrow, he is going to be angry, and someone is going to die. And I am not going to be that someone. So get the the freaking car!"

He was fuming. I could feel the heat radiating off him, it felt like a stove. I was struggling to get away from his touch, which only got tighter. Tears were forming in my eyes. He was strong, but I am strong too. I was always stronger than most boys, and it usually made me the subject of hurtful name calling, but it was nothing new highlights and miniskirts couldn't fix.

"For your information, my father is dead. He has been for over seven years."

Finn chuckled. It was deep and loud and very intimidating.

"You believe everything they told you, didn't you little girl? God, they were right. Your just a stupid, little girl who is never going to be capable of being the female alp--."

"Finn! That is enough." The other boy rumbled. His eyes were brighter than before, but not as bright as Finns.

"Declan," Finn said.

"Lets just get the girl in the car so that we can go home alright? Before I do something stupid..." He said, smiling a weird, wicked smile while looking me up and down. I shivered and tried not to scream again.
