Phoenix High- Slymau

Chapter 35

Lachlan's POV 

I squirm underneath Vikk as I watch Jess run and tackle Mitch. Jess starts running as Mitch lunges at her and misses. Vikk seems to have gotten the message and climbs off of me. I decided against running around and instead sit next to Vikk. I open up the mind link between the two of us.

'What do you want, Lachlan?'

'What? I can't talk to my best friend without it being suspicious?'

'No. Now, what do you want?'

'To be able to talk to someone? I mean Jess, Mitch, and Jerome are all chasing each other while Preston and Rob and play fighting. I don't really have anyone else to talk to.'

I hear a sigh come from Vikk, 'Fine. You have a good point. What is it you wanted to talk about?'

'Hmm, well, is it just me, or does Jess smell a bit... weird? I mean it could just be because I haven't seen her in forever and I don't remember her scent but could it have changed that much?'

Vikk mulls over this, 'Now that you bring it up, yeah, she does smell off. It's probably nothing though. We can always ask the others to verify it though. I have a question for you though if you don't mind me asking it.'

'Nah,' I shake my head, 'You can ask pretty much anything and I wouldn't care.'

Vikk seems happy with this answer, 'How do you run so fast then? You aren't called The Blur for nothing.'

'I could also just answer this by carrying you while running, correct?'

He nods his head rapidly, 'Sure! I'd actually rather you do that.'

I shift into my human form with Vikk following my lead.

He has a confused look on his face though, "Wouldn't we be faster as wolves?"

I laugh, "You would. I, on the other hand, would be slower." I don't allow him to speak again before I pick him up bridal style and begin running. I already know the others can't see me but I've never carried someone else while running. I look down at Vikk to judge his reaction only to find that he seems to be having a blast.

"Vikk, you mind if I test something quickly?" He doesn't give me a verbal response and only nods.

I pull him closer to me, "I'm going to see if Poofless can see you. If they can't then we just found a new pranking tool."
