Run Like You Mean It (Berlin wolves series)

Chapter 7

~~Rylee's POV~~

   I was in Derek's car following Brian on our little roadtrip. I was sitting in the passenger seat of the car my head leaned up against the window. I glanced over at Derek and I could tell he was looking at me from the corner of his eyes. I blushed when he turned his head fully towards me catching me staring. The rest of the guys were asleep. They all passed out like thirty minuets ago.

  "Why are you blushing?" He asked me curioiusly.

"Cuz your sitting there looking like a freaking god and Im staring at you like your something to eat. Not to mention hte fact that  you caught me staring," I said in a rush looking out the window.

  Derek grabbed my chin with his fingers and made me look at him.

"You can stare at me all you want. It wont bother me," He said so sincerely that I almost melted.

 ~~Rylee's mom's POV~~

  "I'm sorry but we couldnt find her ma'am," The police officer standing at my door said with a sad face.

 I slammed the door in his face and walked back through the house.

   "Now we know they have her," I told him strernly as I walked back to the secret room.

"Do we know where they are going?" He asked me sharpening his knife.

  "Not yet," I replied.

"Are we seriously going to ask them for help," He asked me.

  I knew who he was talking about but I didnt answer him. Instead I walked out the back door towards them.

 They where already there standing ready and looking feirce. I sized one of the younger ones up carefully. I recognized her imeadiately.

  "Alice?" I asked in disblief.

"Mrs. Taylor," She said nodding her head polietly.

  I just look at her.

"What do you want?" He finally asked me stepping up.

   "Its about my daughter. They've taken her.  We cannot do anything but watch and that is the hardest thing for me to do. You're true Hunters, you can actually kill them and get my daughter back," I said a little breathless.

  "The buisness of your life is of no concern to us. We hunt wolves, not people. If you want your daughter back, you must get her back yourself. I'm sorry, but cannot help you," Mr.Scar said turning around.

 "I know what you want," I told him.

    "And what might that be?" He asked turning around.

I smiled that I got his attention.

  "I know that your after the pack. But I also know your after one person in particular- Lia Danvers, I can help you get her," I said smirking.

   "And how exactly do you plan on doing that?" He asked me intently.

"She's best friends with my daughter. I have my ways," I said.

   He thought for a minuet, "Alright, if I find your daughter and give her to you unharmed, you let me keep Lia and destroy her."

 I nodded solemnly, "You have a deal Mr. Scar."

  He nodded back then walked away. Robert and I walked back to the house and I went into the room to read a book and contemplate my plan.

 ~~Lia's POV~~

  I woke up in the car grogily. I rubbed my eyes and looked over at Beck. He was wide awake and staring at the road. He looked at me when he saw I was awake.

  "Hey. Your awake," He said calmly.

"How long have I been asleep?" I asked him.

   "About 8 hours," Alec replied from the back.

I turned around to look at him. Shane and Toby where still asleep. Shane was almost in the floor of the car and Toby was trying to stretch out on the seat but instead he scrunched up and planted his face against the window drooling. I rolled my eyes at them and smiled.

  "So where are we?" I asked straightening up a little.

"I'm not really sure. I havent been paying attention to the road signs, i've just been following Derek's car," Beck said glancing at me.

  Just then his phone rang and I picked it up.

"It's Brian," I said before I answered it.

  "Hello."

"Lia? Where's Beck?" he asked me.

   "He's driving," I replied.

"Put the phone on speaker."

  I pressed the button, "You are now on speaker oh fearless one."

Alec smiled at me.

 "Okay you guys...wait. Are Shane and Toby asleep?" He asked me.

"Yeah. Why?" Beck answered.

   "Wake them up. I have everyone else on the phone and I'm only going to say this once," he said calmly.

 I reached back and smacked Toby on his butt and she shot up in his seat.

   "Holy mother!" He yelled rubbing his butt.

"Glad your awake," I said smiling.

   "What the hell was that for?" he asked me shouting.

"Brian told me to wake you up," I said looking at him.

  Toby just sat there rubbing his behind while I unbuckled my seatbelt to reach Shane. I turned around in my seat and looked at him. I reached my foot up- not planning to be gentle- and kicked his arm. He woke up grabbing his arm.

   "Ahhh! What the...why did you do that?" He asked me.

"Brian told me to wake you two up. Now shut it. Brian go ahead," I said into the phone.

    " I thought I would tell you that we are in Louisianna right now. But we have one minor setback. The Hunters- Scar included- are on their way here to kill us and take Lia and Rylee. It seems that Rylee's mom made a deal with him. If he brings Rylee back then he gets to keep Lia and possibly destroy her..." Brian's voice was cut off by Rylee.

   "My mom couldnt have talked to him. She doesnt even know about us!" She yelled.

"Rylee your mom knows. She's known all this time. She is what our kind call Watchers. They watch and give information back to the Elders about any mithical creature that exists on this continent. They know about Lia and Beck. They know about all of us..." Brian continued.

  Rylee was silent.

"That is how they plan to take Lia..." Brian started but he was interupted once again by Beck.

    "They won't touch her," He growled out.

I just sat there listening. At first Brian didnt say anything but then he spoke in a even tone.

   "And one more thing.......Happy birthday, Lia," Brian said before all went silent.

I swear you could have heard a pin drop. I looked at Beck and he just nodded. But that was all I needed.
