Times Have Changed

Chapter 2: Goldfield

Katrina Reed

------------------------

After we rounded all out stuff up after the attack, we started heading towards the rumored packs territory. The woman told us to head South, but didn't give us an exact location, and since we had nothing to lose, we started on our way there.

Emma and I decided to stay in our humans forms so we could give our wolves some time to relax and heal. While we were walking we spotted a lot of animals. I never really appreciated all the wildlife before we were on the run. They all were so beautiful and full of life. They all were so happy, and all got along. It made me think about our old life, before evil had taken over.

We had been looking for this pack since we meet the werewolf that told us about it. We want to join them and help with the rebellion. We are hoping they accept us , but I expect that it will be hard. Being a rebellion they must always be on the look out for traitors. We still aren't even sure if the pack is real, but we might as well look. It's our only chance to fight for something we believe in with a chance of winning. 

"Do you really think we are going to find this pack?" Emma said as we were walking.

"I sure hope so. They're our last hope."

We were by a small town, with little activity, so we decided to stop and get some food, and maybe stop a motel for the night if they had one. We waited for a while and watched the town to see if we could sense any werewolves but we couldn't seem to sense any. The town was called Goldfield. The first thing we did was go into the clothing store, because we were wearing clothes from about a month ago. We have been living in the woods for while now, we haven't been able to find any small towns with no werewolf activity. This is this first we have come by in a long time.

"Hello ladies! Anything I can help you with today?" A lady standing at the register said.

"No, we are okay! Thank you!" I said.

We know the drill. Straight to the sale rack, finding the cheapest clothes we could find that would hold together. I ended up finding a pair of red athletic shorts and a black t-shirt. Emma found a blue pair of athletic shorts and a white t-shirt with a pocket on it. Then we found sports bras for both of us. We also each got a new pair of tennis shoes and some socks and underwear for the road. We also got some toothbrushes, brushes, and deodorant. We went to the lady at check out and it totaled to $125.74. We got our money from our parents before the attack. We had a credit card that was linked to the packs bank account. I don't know how the account is sill open, but I don't ask questions because we need the money.

We headed over to the motel next to see if they had a open room we could stay in.

"Welcome! My name is Albert! Do you ladies need a room?" Asked a man sitting behind a desk by the door. I got some kind of weird feeling from him. I'm not sure if its good or bad, but I know I don't exactly trust him.

"Yes. We want the cheapest room you can sell us." My sister spoke.

"Alright! You can sit over there-" Albert pointed to a couch across the room,"-while I get you room information all ready."

"Do you get a weird feeling about him too?"I asked.

"Yes, I don't know what it is about him though.." Emma said.

"Alright! I just need you to fill out this information! Then I can lead you to your room and get you all settled in!"

We walked over and filled out everything we could. A lot of the information was fake. Actually almost all of it was because being on the run we didn't have an address, a phone, or anything like that. I set down the paper and pen.

"Follow me, and I'll lead you to your room.."

We walked down the hall until we stopped in front of room 53. He inserted the key into the lock and opened the door. Albert motioned for us to go in. It was small room, but it was a room. There was one queen bed, a small TV, a bathroom, and a shower. This was a luxury for us.

"The ice machine is down the hall, and I'll be at the front desk if you need anything! I hope you ladies have a good stay." Albert said while putting our key on the bedside table and walking out.

We locked the door behind him and Emma was the first to take a shower. Something we both were in desperate need of.

I sat down on the bed and immediately fell into a hard sleep.

I woke up and sat straight up, not knowing where I was.

I looked around and saw Emma was laying in bed beside me sound asleep. It was 2 am. I got up and went into the bathroom to take a shower. I started undressing and looked at myself in the mirror.

I saw a sad and tired girl. Bright blonde hair that was almost white down to her waist, and green eyes that held so many emotions. She was very thin, and had some muscle. This was me. She didn't look anything like the old me.

I got into the shower and took my time. I used the little bottles every hotel has of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. I was in there for the longest time just thinking. I eventually got out and brushed my long hair. It looked so much better now that it was clean and brushed. I then brushed my teeth, and put on my sports bra and underwear. Lastly, hopped back into bed. I had a feeling it was going to be a very event full day tomorrow.
