On the Run

Chapter 1

Elise POV

I opened my eyes to the winter sun streaming through the curtains of my bedroom. Squinting from the sudden light, I sat up before getting out of my bed to get dressed. Throwing on a black and white shirt and a pair of dark jeans I made my plans for the day. I quickly combed my smooth brown hair and fringe. Digging through my messy wardrobe I pulled out my blue hoodie and looked in my full-length mirror before exiting the bedroom. I caught sight of a calendar hanging on the wall in a hallway outside my room. *A week 'til my sixteenth* I smiled to myself. One week until I receive my shift. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you will, in five, four, three, two, ONE!

Okay so basically, for those of you who don't know, I am a Familiar. What is a Familiar you may ask? Well a Familiar is a supernatural being. So kinda like werewolves, vamps, witches and wizards. Although I haven't actually met many witches or wizards, I've met plenty of vampires and werewolves. At the age of sixteen a Familiar receives his or her shift, meaning, they receive the animal that they can shift into. Kinda like how a Werewolf can shift into a wolf, we are the same but it's not just wolves we shift into. (Oh man I've said 'shift' like, four times now. Oh well.) Each Familiar has the ability to turn into an animal. Normally you only get one shift but there have been reports on Familiars that transform into more than one animal but you're more likely being trampled by ducks than be one, let alone see one.

Anyways, back to the hallway with the calendar. My happy moment was suddenly destroyed by a low growl. Dafaq? I slowly turned my head around and was met with......nothing. WTF?! The growl sounded again. And again. I felt kinda hungry. OHHH. The growling is my empty stomach. Eeeya. I hightailed it to the kitchen and was greeted by a delish smell. I sniffed the air. Hmmm. Bacon (NEVER UNDERSTIMATE THE BACON!), pancakes (YUM), a fruit salad (kiwi fruit, pineapple, apple, mango, strawberries, blueberries, other berries) and burgers (Kristie thinks I'm crazy for that). Mmmmmm, yummo! Some of the tribe was still here (I don't really know the equivalent of wolf pack for Familiars but I either call it a tribe or herd.) I could see Sarah and James laughing together at something. (If we were werewolves then they would be classified as mates. Familiars call "mates" "sparks" after the sparks you experience when you make physical contact with them) I scanned the crowd for my twin sister, Storm, and our younger brother and sister, Ethan and Sandy. I couldn't see them though. I noticed my friends Stella and Aisha waving me over. I nodded and told them through the tribe mental link (which is kinda like the werewolf pack mind link)

'I'll be over in a minute, a girl's gotta eat you know, and to do so, I'll need food. Unless you insist I bite your heads off' Stella rolled her hazel eyes.

'Whateves, JUST HURRY UP!' She almost mentally deafened me as she screamed.

'What Stell said.' Aisha grinned. I rolled my eyes before closing off our link.

After I had received my delicious breakfast I started to walk towards the table Stell and Aisha were at. I barely made it to the table before pain shot through my body.

*Ugh, shit.*

I doubled over from the pain, drawing unwanted eyes in my direction. The pain was excruciating. Coursing through my muscles. I cried out in agony as more pain hit.

*Shitty shitty shit shit. Where is this coming from?* The cry became a scream and I curled into a small ball on the floor of the tribe's large dining hall. I now had every eye trained on me. I don't have a spark so it can't be them. The only other person's pain I feel is Storm's and...SHIT! STORM!!!

Storm POV

Punch after punch after punch. All aimed at my face. Through what is probably now a black eye I could barely make out Sadie's fist before it connected to some part of my face. Who knew this chic could punch.

^Five Minutes Ago^

"Hey bitch!" I heard Sadie yell. I'm not in the mood for that shit head.

"Oi Stormy!" One of Sadie's 'friends' said in her irritating Barbie voice. Oh how I would love to smash their skull in to one of their stupidly big mirrors. How would that hurt? Because after I do so I'll make sure broken shards lodge in their brain. Well, if they had one that is. Someone tapped my shoulder as I was walking out the door. I didn't get to turn around completely but I did see a blur of Sadie's dyed blond hair. Shit.

Elise POV

The shocks of pain stopped after about five minutes. Exhaustion consumed me but I refused to give in to it. I had to find Storm.

"Where's...Storm...?" I gasped.

"I saw her get pushed out the front door. By Sadie." Some rando called.

"...Shit..." That's bad. I pushed through the crowd that had gathered during my 'moment' and ran towards the front door. Before I reached the door it was opened from the other side. It swung open slowly to reveal the bitch herself, Sadie. Eyes sparkling with pride and victory. Fuck her. In two seconds I had her pinned to a wall, my arm over her windpipe.

"Where. Is. Storm?" I asked in my scary-calm voice. The bitch was taken aback by my question before she replied.

"And I would tell you because?" *Okay you had your chance, even if it was small.* I pressed my arm hard against her neck so she struggled to breathe. *That's right bitch, don't fuck with me.*

"I'll ask this again, and unless you hate your life then I would recommend answering. Where, the fuck, is Storm!?"

"In the forest." I applied more pressure. "She'sinthechesnutclearing." she rushed out, struggling to receive oxygen. I smirked at her pathetic form as I let her go and she practically collapsed to the floor trying to get air. I ran out towards the Chestnut Clearing, which isn't too far from our tribe house. I caught sight of the clearing and picked up my speed. That is until I saw a broken form lying unconscious under a tree. Oh. Shit. I jogged towards the figure knowing perfectly well who it is.

My sister.

Storm.
