Chapter Forty-Three - Run Into The Snow

KARA

It's been two weeks.

Another two large rogue attacks.

All of us were exhausted, so Uncle C announced that we're going on a three-day break.

Diabolus and I were hanging out in my hotel room while I was putting my things in luggage to bring home.

"I'll miss you gazillions," he said for the thirty-seventh time. After zipping up the luggage, I pulled it up straight and got my bag. I hugged Diabolus and he wrapped his arms around me, "I'll miss you bazillions."

We let go of each other and exited the room. He went with me to check out and followed me to my car. I put my things in, closed the trunk, and turned to look at him.

"I'll text," I said while hugging him. He chuckled and wrapped his arms around me. I felt him place a chaste kiss on my hair and rested his cheek on my head. We pulled away after a minute and I got in my car. I looked at my side mirror to see him moving aside and stuffing his hands in his pockets.

Demons don't really feel cold, but Diabolus is a rare exception. He hates the cold like he hates his younger brother, Daemonium.

I reversed, gave him a wave, and drove out of the hotel. I was ready to blast Suicide Squad's soundtrack the whole way, just so I don't sleep.

I arrived home- finally- and parked the car in the garage. After taking my things, I walked up the porch and unlocked the front door. Again, not even two steps in, and I'm bombarded with hugs and kisses.

"Alright, alright, guys," I laughed while trying to pry them off. When they finally let me go, I sunk into Connor's arms that were wrapped protectively around me.

"I missed you guys too. Like a whole lot," I said with a smile displayed brightly on my face. They grinned and we went up to our room so I could rest.

We entered and I quickly put my things away before throwing myself on the bed. They got in bed too so we had to huddle.

I took the cushioned with pillows top left corner, Connor took the top right, Edward took bottom left and Jake took bottom right. We just curled to fit on the bed.

You know you could just get them on the floor so we have the bed to ourselves, right? – Connor

I'm not that mean, darling. – Kara

But, I mean, you can... - Connor

I rolled my eyes at him and he let out a chuckle.

"What's so funny?" Jake asked, looking up from his spot at met my gaze. I shook my head and smiled, "Nothing to be worried about."

He eyed me suspiciously. Edward broke the little moment of silence, "How long are you staying back, Kara?"

"Three days, so let's spend the time wisely. Cause after this break, I'm probably not gonna come back for another two to three weeks."

"You're not even gone yet and I'm already missing you," Connor said while pulling me closer to peck my lips. He was well aware that the other two were watching so he dodged the pillows thrown his way. He got off the bed and Jake chased after him, "You fucking come back here!"

Jake chased him out of the room and Edward took the chance to move next to me.

"Those two are always fighting. When you weren't here, they fought over who was gonna call you first and the longest."

I smiled, knowing they were just playing around because they knew clearly if their fight gets bloody, I'll be finishing it myself.

"I mean, werewolf genes made them super protective over their mates," I said while his topaz- slowly turning yellow- eyes stared into my blue ones. He sighed in disappointment, "I'm still frustrated that I can't read your mind. It's foolish."

I cupped his face, "It's alright. I'll tell you what I'm thinking if you want to know."

He smiled and leaned in to close the distance between us.

The second day of my break and we've been staying in since it's been snowing a lot recently. But today, I wanted to go out and run. I got out of bed that had my werewolves on it and noticed my vampire standing on the balcony. I walked to him and gently nudged his side, "What's wrong?"

He looked at me and smiled, "Nothing's wrong, little wolf." I wasn't convinced but dropped it anyway. I looked out at the white forest and poked his arm, "I'm gonna go on a run, wanna come?"

He nodded but before we could exit the room, my wrist was grabbed and pulled into a pair of arms. Connor let out a breath at my ear, "Plan on escaping, love?"

I smacked his chest, "If you weren't sleeping, I would've wanted you to come with me."

"Well, I'm not, so let's grab Jacob and go together."

I peeked at his side and noticed Jake with half his body on the ground. I sensed Edward shaking his head while stifling a laugh and sighed before going in to pull him out. Connor came and took over, pulling him by his feet and dragging him along the floor. The four of us exited the house, but not before grabbing a snack before running.

We exited the house and ate our snack before Connor threw Jake in the cold snow. That shocked him awake as he scrambled to get back onto the warm floor. I tossed his snack at him and he swiftly caught it.

"We're going running?" he asked while ripping the wrapper off. I nodded and went behind a tree to strip and shift. The other two did the same too while Edward stood by a tree waiting for us.

I walked out of my little hiding spot in all of my white coat, completely camouflaged in the snow. Connor and Jake came out in their black wolf, contrasting the environment.

Connor, do the honor of translating, please? – Kara

'Kay. – Connor

Connor nudged his head at Edward, causing him to look at the wolf that was almost his height.

Let's see if your vampire speed could outrun us. – Kara

Edward heard my thoughts from Connor and smirked, "We shall see."

Right after his sentence ended, we bolted into the forest.

I'm back at this place.

The others were pitching in ideas, but I just couldn't focus on anything. My gut's telling me that something is wrong.

I don't know, Kara. It's just a feeling.

'I'm going crazy.'

Me too.

I tried to shake the thought away and focus on the meeting.
