Chapter 10

Tris' POV

Luke had left the room about 5 minutes ago, though he had locked the door to 'prevent me from escaping, though he still cares for me' or whatever shit he said. So I just sat at the edge of the bed staring at the wall. I assumed that he would come back a minute or so later, but no shit- he didn't.

Getting bored and slightly pissed, I got up to look around the room that I would be 'staying in'. Like that's gonna happen. Because I will find a way to escape!

Looking around, I noticed a small cork or bulletin board (whatever you wanna call it), and took a closer look. I saw that it had photos of Luke and his friends Michael, Calum and Ashton. I only knew their names because I had asked them.

On top of that photo was another. But instead of the four guys, there were four large wolves. The one in Luke's place was a very large black wolf. The one I saw in my dreams (no shit). The other wolves were not as big, but still look huge nonetheless.

Slowly realizing that those other wolves were probably Michael, Calum and Ashton, I awkwardly backed away.

"What are you doing?"

I turned to find Luke standing in the doorway just as I was about to see if the window would open.

"Tying my shoelace."

A deep chuckle rumbled through his chest as he acknowledged the lie. Taking long strides, Luke made his way over to me.

"Don't lie to me." He whispered huskily as he pulled he to his chest.

"Yeah, that's nice and all, but I kind of got a place to go, so yeah."

At my words, Luke let me go for a moment before grabbing my wrists and pinning me to a wall.

"Who are you seeing?"

He sounded as if he were trying to remain calm, but that obviously wasn't working.

"Umm, what? But I didn't say anythi- Okay. I see."

Luke had pressed me harder (heheh) into the wall. Not a second later, he repeated his previous actions by leaving the room and locking the door.

"The fuck?" I mumbled as I once again made my way over to the window. Trying and succeeding, I slowly and quietly, fully opened the window I had just left, surprised that Luke had not locked it.

I looked over the edge and saw a tree close to the window. About a small jump away. So I swung my legs over the edge and gave myself a slight push, landing in the tree. I slowly began to descend.

Once I reached the ground, I made a quick but quiet beeline to the front of the house, and to the street. I burst into a sprint and ran down the sidewalk towards my house.

As I got there, I heard a loud howl coming from the direction I came from.

"Shit." I muttered, starting to feel worried.

I unlocked the door, got in, locked it again, and made a dash to the basement. Kenzie and I always hide there after we watched horror movies. Just in case.

I turned a corner and ran into someone, resulting in both of us on the floor.

I looked up and saw that it was only Kenzie.

Grabbing her hand, I once again ran to the doors.

Once we got in and locked the door behind us, we quickly walked towards the hidden trap door underneath the couch. Moving the couch, the door soon came into view.

We unlocked it and jumped inside. Kenzie pressed a button which put the couch back into place, but only once we shut the door.

Turning around, we ventured down the long cement corridors. We had been here before and memorized the maze by heart.

Our safe room was at the very end of the maze, though you needed to know multiple passcodes to get anywhere near there.

Once at the safe room, we got inside and locked the doors and looked at the security screen behind us. No one knows about this place except for us, and probably the tenants before us.

Suddenly, a loud crash was heard and we looked at the screens only to see Luke and Calum had broken down the door.

"Holy shit. Tris they are werewolves! Like the mythical creature! And Calum told me and he said I'm his mate! What the fuck? What about everyone else I love?!"

"Kenzie, there isn't really anyone. I mean you have this crush on Harry but..."

Harry is this dude who has all of the same classes as her. Apparently they are soul mates.

"Yes, and I love Harry and we are meant to be."

I playfully rolled my eyes at her childishness.

"Wait who told you? Are you one of them too?! HOW CAN YOU BETRAY ME?!?!" Kenzie screeched, and I'm sure Luke and Calum heard her.

"No, Luke told me the same, now shut up will you?"

"But Tris what will they do? Calum says I'm gonna move in with him and then never leave and then I don't want to TRIS HELP M-"

Our heads simultaneously snapped in the direction of the door. Or where the door had been, seeing as it was knocked down. I slightly cringed, while Kenzie screamed bloody murder and jumped onto my back.

"TRIS THEY'RE GONNA KILL US WE NEED TO BE SAVED!"

"Shut up you're heavy."

Kenzie glared at me, earning a growl from Luke, which resulted in Calum glaring at Luke.

I shrug "Either way we're fucked."
