Saving Gracie

Chapter 27

Gracie POV

Beep beep beep beep be-

"I think I'm gonna need a new alarm clock, again," I say groggily. After the stressful fighting, things settled down some. Now it's Monday, cue the angry face, and we have to go back to hell aka school. Me and Ryder are officially dating as of two days ago. I hop in the shower and do all my toiletries minus makeup. Nope not for me. I gather up my binders and phone and shove them in my bag and head downstairs. "Morning Grace," Ric and Jam say. "That's creepy guys," I say. They shrug it off and pass me bacon. "What's the agenda today?" I ask. "You've got school first, then archery, human training, wolf training, a break, Luna duties, and your free," Jam says enthusiastically. "Well it's time for hell. See you guys later!" I yell as I run to the garage. I think I'll take my car today.

As I park, someone taps on my window. Carter. I get out and ask,"What do you need Carter?" He looks at me sheepishly. "Do you know where Mar's locker is?" He asks. I start cracking up as I lead him to her locker. "Oh poor Carter. Your so whipped," I crack out. I point to her locker and open mine to see a small batch of roses. "Oh how beautiful," I say in awe. "I would've put these ones, but they wouldn't fit without bending so I put in a few," someone says. Ryder. I spin around to see a bouquet a flowers. Inside the petals were pearls. PEARLS PEOPLE. "Oh my goddess they're so amazing!" I say, gushing over the flowers. I look up at him in the eyes and say, "Thank you very much Ryder. They're gorgeous." He grins and places a small kiss on my forehead. "I'll place them at the front office. They'll take care of them till you pick them up," Ryder says. I nod and smile at him.

The rest of the school day goes by in a blur. I was bombarded by questions of Ryder which I really didn't want to answer. I was glad to make it to my car when Ryder caught up with me. "Hey," he says. "Hey," I say back like the dork I am. "Are you busy today?" He asks. I nod sadly. "You can come over and......i guess watch me train or what not," I suggest. He nods happily, "Yeah. I'd love to," he says. He hops in his car and he tails behind me as I make my way home.

"IM HOME!" I yell. I hear a groan of protest. "Can you not! We're all werewolves here. Jesus Gracie," Luis mumbles. "Sorry Luis. Didn't know you were sleeping on the couch," I say in defense. "YOU!" Ryder yells. "Me?" Luis says. "Your the one that was dating Gracie!" Ryder yells again. "Whoa whoa whoa. I'm guessing she never told you," Luis says and looks pointedly at my Nutella covered face. "What," I say stupidly. "Where'd you get the Nutella?" Luis asked confused. I shrug my shoulder and say, "He's my brother Ryder." He looks between my Nutella face and Luis's sleepy one. "I think I can see a similarity," Ryder says slowly. We all laugh and I'm suddenly jerked towards the back door. "C'mon girl your late!," Jam says.

Here I am with Ric doing archery training. Honestly, this wasn't an essential training to do but, I wanted to take it in case.

"In case of what?The Stone Age?"Sam says

"Oh hush Sam"

I cut the mindlink off and take a deep breath. I catch a whiff of Ryder's scent and instantly my mind wanders to places nowhere near archery. "GRACIE. FOCUS," Ric yelled. "Holy mother of Oreos. God, did you have to yell at me?" I ask as I rub my ear. I line up my shot but, suddenly, my body jerked back and I felt my spine arch. I yelped in pain as flashes and images went through my head. Bloody gore and so many screams. Body parts and dead, torn wolves scattered the bloodied grass. I felt the last of the images leave my now mushy mind. I looked up to see Ryder crying and immediately gave him a searing kiss. "I'm fine," I said shakily after the kiss. I get up but my knees buckle and the next thing I know I'm in Ric's arms. "Ryder take her to her room, Luis get a bowl of cold water and a rag, and James get the pack doctor please," Ric orders. They disperse with me in Ryder's arms staring at nothingness.

Ryder sets me down on my bed and scoots me over for him to lay down too. "Gracie are you okay? Please tell me this time. Please don't run off like last time," Ryder murmurs. Everything goes in one ear and out the other as I try to recollect what the hell just happened.

"Bloodshed Gracie, bloodshed. It's in the near future but it will happen," Sam says weakly. I'm guessing she tried to go back and see the images in detail. I notice Luis and the doctor coming in and placing something on my bed side table. Luis comes over and dabs my sweaty forehead. I close my eyes nad try to recollect my thoughts. My brain feels fried and my eyes are stinging like crazy. I hear someone say something but it i slip into unconsciousness before getting a clue about what it was.

A/N: Short chapter but I wanted to post it because I haven't posted in a long time P:
