That Counts (Bk2)

Chap 6 : Awake

Annie's POV

I was to wait in a room while Niall had so do something. I start the action after he leaves. I pull out Gordon; who's a mess.

"Sorry Gordon." I say and stoke his head. I set him down and start snooping around the room. It's probably not here but worth a shot. I lift things around. Open things, anything. I sigh. There was nothing. I write a note and tape it on Gordon's leg.

"Find Harry and give it to him." I said and opened the window. He looked at me one more time and flew off. Please find him.

"You!" I heard a voice hiss. Uh oh. I turn around and saw Niall. He didn't look happy. I fumble with the lock to the balcony. I opened and without thinking, jumped. It was a two story drop but I landed on my side.

"Ugh!" I moaned. I quickly got up and ran. Damnit! I forgot I was supposed to find Em's memories! Ugh! I guess I panicked.

"Stop! Annie's I'll get you!" I heard him yell. I still ran. Heavy foot steps were trailing not far behind. I pulled out my pistol and turned around. I regret it.

I flew across the forest floor hitting a tree. I coughed up blood and fell to the ground. I looked up and saw Niall in his wolf form. I tried to get up but failed. He snarled and raised his front paw and sank is claws in. I let out a ear pricing scream as he deepened. What is he doing?! I felt life leak out of me, as he got his claws out. I looked at him. Horror was written all over and he ran off. I felt my heart beat slow. I guess I'll see dad after all.....

I close my eyes but a sudden pain went through my body. I held my breath and gasp. I felt the holes close up. I felt cold inside. My heart slowed to the point it wasn't beating. My canine teeth grew longer and sharper. I slowly sat up and looked at my shirt. It was cut up. My skin was pale and cold. I saw a near by lake and went to it. I looked at my reflection. It was shocking. My eyes were red and canine teeth were sharp. Am I dead? I looked up and saw the full moon. I guess I am.. I feel thirst in my throat. I cover my mouth. It closed my eyes and held it. I looked around not know where I am. I sigh and get up. What to do?......

Harry's POV

Me and Emma ran away for awhile.

"I think we should go back...." She said in worry.

"I think we should too but.." Why couldn't a say it? I felt guilty not helping them.... I heard a hoot and turned. I saw Annie's owl with a piece of paper.

"Hey there." I said softly. I put my arm out so it could land.

"How do you....."

"It's Annie's." I said. I took the note off and read it.

I'm at the place. There's nothing so far... Did you get back Em?

I smiled. Hope she's ok. The owl's head perked up. He started flying. We ran after it. I soon picked a sent of human blood. It was Annie's. Oh no! The owl landed on the ground looking at the blood stain. Oh on..... Em covered her mouth in horror.

"Annie... That's not hers right?" She mumbled. I looked at Em with a sad face.

"No... No. No!" She yelled. The owl heard something and flew off somewhere. We didn't bother to follow.

"Emma please. It's alright." I said. I tried to hug her but she backed off.

"Emma...."

"Annie's dead. Annie's dead!" She yelled. Tears fell from her eyes.

"Emma please calm down. Everything going to be alright." I said.

"No everything's not alright. I lost my own sister! Do you know how it feels?! Huh? Do you!" She yelled.
