Beautifully Chaotic

Chapter 12

I bring my knees to my chest and rest my cheek on my knees. "Rosie." I look to Dylan and he gives me a small smile. "Are you ok?" He pushes a strand of hair behind my ear and I nod.

After what had happened, I haven't exactly been myself and it is showing. I can tell he is hesitant about leaving me, but he is an alpha who has guests over. "I'll be back soon." He tells me as kisses my head softly.

He gets up and walks out the bedroom. I sigh softly as I close my eyes.

The door clicks open and I peek at who it is. "Hey babe." Nadia says as she gives me a soft smile. "Whats wrong?" She asks me. "I don't want to talk about it." I tell her and she nods as she climbs in next to me.

"Good thing you don't have to then. Alpha told me you were feeling down so I decided to come check on my bestie."

I smile at her and lean against her shoulder. "Thanks."

"No problem, I'm always here for you." She tells me as we just sit there. "What do you want do?" She asks me after a long periosld of silence.

"We can watch a movie." I suggest. "You must really not be feeling good." She says laughing softly. I force a smile as she grabs her bag. "You pick."

She has dozens of snacks and movies, I can feel my mood lighten already.

We end up watching The Hunger Games series which lasted a good part of the day. We also ate dozens of snacks as well and by the end of the day she had me laughing and feeling lighter.

"Well hey babe, I have to go, Axel just told me that they finished." She says as she stands up. "Ok, thank you for coming." I tell her and she grins. "Don't thank me. I love spending time with you." She winks at me and I grin.

She walks out of the room and the silence quickly fills up the empty space. I get out of bed and make my way to the bathroom.

I look in the mirror and flinch as my eyes meet my reflection. "Jesus."

I take down my hair and step out of my clothes. I take a quick shower and step out. "Rosie?"

I find Dylan sitting on the bed taking his shoes off. "Hey."

He turns his head and smiles, "hey."

"I think I'm going to go on a run." I tell him and he nods. "You want me to come?" He asks. "No, remember last time."

He chuckles and nods, "fair point."

I sneak out the house luckily unseen by the present company and make a quick sprint to the tree line.

I shift instantly before breaking the line. I struggle to mantian control of my beast for a few terrifying seconds before getting a total grip on myself.

I relish in the feeling of the wind as I run through the forest swiftly. I come to a halt as silence surrounds me. Only my breathing is heard as I look around the green forest.

A shadow emerges from behind a tall tree causing the hair on the back of my neck to stand up and my snout to pull into a snarl.

This thing radiated bad energy. It moves closer to me causing me to take a few steps back before I shift into my human form.

It doesn't have limbs or a face. It's simply a shadow with glowing red eyes. I take in a breath as I move backwards. It lunges towards me as its arm forms and long black claws extend.

It catches me off gaurd swiping me across my abdomen causing pain to rocket throughout my body.

It lets out a terrifying wail as it circles around the tree tops before dipping down quickly coming back towards me.

I quickly scramble out of the way causing me to fall and roll to the side. "Shit." I curse as I quickly stand back up my bretahing heavy as blood oozes from the scrapes across my stomach. I'm not healing. A black fog like substance radiates from where its claws had hit.

"Not good." I say to myself as it screeches and swipes it claws against my leg as I quickly get up hissing in pain.

I feel my magic surge within me unvoluntarily filling my body with heat as light forms from my hands. On instinct I raise my palms above my head as it flies over me causing it to incinerate. Black ash floats down around me as I stagger to the side and lean against the nearest tree.

The wound on my leg matches the one on my stomach and my breathing gets heavy as I turn and start to make my way back towards the pack. "I can't get a break." I mumble to myself as the birds start chirping once more and the wind picks back up.

I let out a heavy sigh as fhe effect of all the blood of lost takes its toll. I can only imagine what I looked like, covered in ash and blood.

I look up and can make out the tree line. I stumble forward varely making it oht of the forest.

My veins start turning black as whatever was in that things claws starts to spread. I feel myself fall forward as I let out a soft whimper as pain courses through my body.

My eyes slowly shut as I hear a few wolves gasp in what I assume is shock. My breathing gets shallow before I fall into darkness and go numb.
