Run Like You Mean It (Berlin wolves series)

Chapter 5

 I woke up and looked around. I then remembered that I had fallen asleep in Beck's arms. I tried to get up but Beck still had an iron hold on me. I sighed loudly and that was the first time that I realized beck breathing had changed and I knew he was awake.

  "Going somewhere?" He asked me sleepily.

God his voice sounded so sexy like that.

 "Yeah, to eat breakfast. And I cant do that with you trapping me," I said smiling.

"Well I'll let you go this time. But only because I'm hungry too," He said laughing and releasing me.

 I hoped up and stretched out my back. I took my hair down out of the pony-tail and walked over to my dresser to grab my brush. When I had successfully brushed out all the tangles, I put it back up in a messy bun. I turned to look at Beck.

 "Well you can leave now. A girl has to have some privacy," I said pushing him out my door.

When it was closed I went back over to my dresser and pulled out a pair of blue-jean shorts. One drawer down I grabbed an orange tank-top. My favorite tank-top with the black zebra stripes on the front and her short three letter name on the back. After I had gotten dressed I left my room to go to the kitchen for breakfast. When I got downstairs almost everyone was sitting at the bar eating pancakes. I walked over and stood in between Alec and Beck.

 "Going bold today arent we?" Alec asked nudging me with his elbow and guesturing to my shirt.

I smiled, "Yes sir, Thought I would lighten the mood today."

  "Okay everyone, finish up. The police are about 3 hours away, so we need to find a place for Rylee and Chase to hide. After the police arrive, I want Lia to go upstairs and stay out of the way," Brian said standing behind everyone.

 "Why?" I asked turning around to face him.

 "If our alabi is that we're on a camping trip, how well do you think thtat is going to work out with a cabin full of boys and only one girl?" Brian said smiling at me.

 I raised my eyebrows, "Got it," I said and turned back around to steal a bit of Beck's breakfast.

 The guys smiled at Brian and then laughed at my expression.

  "So, for now we need to scout out places for Rylee and Chase," Brian said looking at all of us.

"I vote they hide in different places," Derek said a bit possessively.

  I looked at Beck and he nodded.

"I agree. If they find one it will be harder to find the other," Beck said covering up Derek.

 Derek looked at Beck and tanked him silently for his little slip up.

  "Okay then. Let's get going," Brian said walking away.

I stood up and took Rylee's hand.

  "I know the perfect spot for you," I said pulling her along behind me.

"Okay," was Rylee's only reply.

  ~~Rylee's mom's POV~~

"Those stupid little werewolves," I yelled.

  "Calm down, Claire. I'm sure Rylee is fine, dear," Robert said standing at the counter.

"Our daughter is with werewolves and your telling me she's fine?"

  "She's hung out with Lia and Beck her entire life and nothing had happened has it? I'm sure that they wont let anything happen to her," Robert said looking out the window now.

  "Lia Danvers wasnt a werewolf before. And what are you looking at?" I asked furiously.

"We're being watched, Claire. By them...........the Hunters," Robert said turning around and walking toward the library.

 I followed him into the library, and through the secret door at the back. It was a room known only to Robert and myself.  Rylee knew nothing about it and never would. It was not a part of my life that my daughter needed to know about. We where Hunters, but a different kind. All Hunters hated werewolves, but our kind dont kill them. We watch them, then report to the Elders. We where known at the Watchers. Rylee didnt know anything about her past or her lineage. Which was good, but also bad. Rylee's great-great-great grandmother had been half werewolf and had had children. Which created problems with the Elders. The Watchers job was to watch the werwolves and not have any connections with them. It was very hard for a family with werewolf lineage to be Watchers. It created problems for everyone. That was one reason why I was so worried about Rylee being with werewolves. I didnt want her to have to deal with being a Watcher, but I didnt want her being a mate to the Werewolves. They where vermin, all of them.

 "We will find her Claire," Robert told me.

   "You better hope we do," I said grabbing a book off the shelf.

"You do realize our daughter only has two choices now. She can either be trained to be a Watcher, or be a mate to a werwolf. And I have a feeling that the second one has already gone into play," Robert said sitting down in a chair.

 "I would rather her be locked up than have her life be definded by either of those choices," I said coldly.

 I realized that it might have sounded cold to speak about my daughter that way, but it was the truth. Both of those choices where nothing she woud have wished for her daughter. She just hoped that the cops would find her soon.

 ~~Lia's POV~~

 " You can sit in here. It's a secret room I found a couple of summers ago. No one will find you here," I said showing her.

 "Thanks, Lia," Rylee rplied.

  "You need to make sure you stay quiet. See you later," I said then shut the door.

I walked back down to the kitchen. I walked over to Beck.

 "Chase is hidden. Is Rylee good?" He asked me.

"Yeah, she's fine," I replied sighing.

 Beck pulled me in for a hug when Brian walked in.

  "They're here," he said wlking towards the door.

Beck gave me a small kiss and then I hurried off to hide.

 When I was walking down the hallway I heard talking.

  "Hello. I'm Officer Lock. We're here searching for a young girl by the name of Rylee Taylor. Her parents called in a missing persons and they told us to check through the woods. We where wondering  if you had any information on this," He said.

 That was all I heard as I stepped into my hiding spot....
