Runner

Chapter 9

When the door slammed in Stephen's face something snapped in his head. The hair on the back of his neck stood on end as the blood boiled in his veins, "IF YOUR FATHER WAS AROUND.." he growled out in anger. He took a deep breath to try and calm himself, storming off to try and collect his thoughts, only to turn around after a few minutes and lifted his leg back, and swung it forward to kick in the door to Sarah's apartment.

The sound of the door being kicked in scared Sarah, causing her to sit up quickly, her heart beating a mile per hour, soon the door to her bedroom opened, slamming against the wall. Sarah looked over, she didn't understand where it was coming from but she knew who caused the noise, and an inaudible growl soon left her as Stephen stepped into the room. "What part of 'Get out' don't you under-fucking-stand, Stephen?" She said, glaring at him. "I don't want you here, you are not welcomed here and I don't want you in my room at all, now get the hell out!" She spat, her tone being mixed with a scream and a growl as she couldn't turn her gaze from him.

Stephen held his own glare toward her. He wasn't happy either, and he needed her to believe him. "I'm not leaving until you see what I'm talking about, Sarah. If you're still in denial then I'll leave, I just want you to believe me. Because fuck, it's hard to protect someone so fucking clueless." He said walking over to her, placing his hand on her forehead, soon returning her memories of her wolf. She groaned out, laying her head back on her pillow with her hands over her eyes as she felt like she was getting a headache, no not a headache a migraine one that she's never felt before.

Stephen's facial expression softened as he watched her. "Headache?" He asked watching as Sarah slowly nodded her head. "That's how it starts. You're feeling threatened. Or well, your wolf is. It's always painful the first few times." He began to explain how a transformation was. "It starts with the headache, then your ribs began to realign themselves, and then your hands and up your arms start to change, and before you know it you're in your wolf form, the human within you sleeping, not entirely remembering what happens as you're in your wolf form." As Stephen spoke, get got closer to Sarah, he never liked seeing her in pain, and now knowing that he was the reason that she ran really got to him.

Soon Sarah was in her wolf form with No knowledge of who either was entire. The wolf had its own personality, yet no one knew the name. Not even Stephen or his wolf. Sarah's wolf let out a growl which caught the attention of Stephen; moments later Stephen took a single step back, turned around, and began walking out through the still broken-down door, indicating for Sarah's wolf to follow him out of the apartment building and down the stairs, where no one would pay attention to the fact that there was a very large 'dog' following him down the stairs.

Once they were down the stairs, Stephen held the door open for the wolf, so they could step outside.
