My Darling

Chapter 11

Izzy's POV
——
It was cold. My body was shaking, I could hardly breathe. Everything was black, I couldn't see. My eyelids were too heavy to open, I couldn't muster up enough energy to open them. Something wet and cold touched me between my thighs. I opened my mouth to let out a scream but nothing came out. What felt like a hand covered my mouth and I heard a soothing voice, "Shhhh, it's going to be okay, my love. We'll cross paths soon." After that sentence, the thing between my legs let out a nasty snarl and fur brushed up between my thigh. The person talking let out a small chuckle and for some reason, I blushed. The laugh was so faint but I could listen to it for hours. "Yes, Xavier, I'm aware." I could tell now that the person talking was female. But who is Xavier? Something stomped on the ground, it sounded like big paws. A large weight fell onto my lower body and a sigh escaped out of something. I was panicking even more now that I could barely move. I started squirming and the woman placed her hand on my shoulder, stopping my movements. Her hand was soft and warm but her fingertips were.... cold? Yes cold. Freezing even. "Stop moving." The demand alone took my breath away.

"Up now, Xavier. You're crushing her." And suddenly the weight was off of me. The girl brushed strands of hair off of my face. I desperately wanted to see who these people... or things- looked like. But I still couldn't open my eyes to see. My cheek was met with a wet tongue brushing against it followed by happy howling noises. Is this a wolf?? "Well if you get a taste, so do I." I felt soft lips press against my forehead and my face felt hot, I knew I was blushing again.

"W-who are... y-you?" I was finally able to whisper out. A husky chuckle and light laughter was what I was met with. Then, I heard footsteps. They were fading. I knew it had to be them walking away. I would be alone in this darkness and that filled me with panic. "W-wait! P-pl-please don't leave me here!" I tried to scream but I could hardly hear my own voice so I knew it was impossible for them to hear me.

A whimper filled the silence. "Oh, Izzy, now that we've seen you, we could never leave you. You'll see us soon, my love."

How does she know my name?!
——

I sat up abruptly, sweating, chest puffing. Once I looked at my surroundings and realized I was in my room, I calmed down, trying to catch my breath. What was that about? She knew my name, I thought. I picked up my phone and checked my notifications. One popped out at me. Hade's name. He sent me a message. I blushed at an image of him in my head. His soft black hair. Beautiful blue eyes. Smooth skin. Perfect smile. He was any girl's dream guy. My dream guy.

I clicked on the message.

Hade 🥰😖💕
Goodnight, Izzy! Sleep well tonight, will ya?
11:23 pm

Good morning, Iz. You didn't reply last night. Probably asleep. Well, can't wait to see you at school today ❤️
7:36 am

Izzy? I haven't seen you in class. Where are you? Are you okay?
10:59 am

Wait, what time is it?!

I checked my clock.

12:47 PM

SHIT!! I'm late for school!

I hopped out of bed, took a shower without washing my hair, threw on the first clothing pieces I could find, slipped my shoes on and ran out of the house.

I looked around, trying to find my car but I noticed it was missing. My mom must've taken it again. Damn. Looks like I'm running to school.

——
An hour or two later, I arrived at the steps of my school. Breathing heavy, I stopped and stared at the huge building full of young adults getting in their education. Hade is in there. I need to find him. Taking one more deep breath, I trotted up the steps and opened the door just as the lunch bell rang. People started pouring out classrooms, walking quickly to the cafeteria. Some students went to their lockers, some formed in groups and stood in the middle of the hallway. Teachers stood outside their doorway, moving children along as if to stop a traffic jam from happening. I searched for a certain, tall, black haired boy lurking around. Finally, I spotted him looking down at his phone, typing away.

Ding!

I looked down at my phone to see a new message from him.

Hade 🥰😖💕
Iz it's me again. It's lunch time and I still haven't seen you around. Just a little worried. Text me when you can...

I smiled. I don't know why, but I a think it's cute that he worries about me. My eyes wondered around until I  saw his face again. However, this time I wasnt so pleased to see it. Tracing his jawline were two fingers, leading down to under his chin. His eyes widened as his lips were met with red ones. His pale cheeks were tinted with red, his body tensing. Wanting this to stop, I unlocked my phone and texted him back.

Izzy
Oh hey hade. sorry. i just over slept. but i'm here now and i see you! ☺️

After the message delivered, I looked back at Hade. He was trying to pull out his phone from his pocket but Zella grabbed his wrist, preventing him from seeing my message. I let out a low snarl in frustration. What a stupid little possessive control freak, I thought. Zella pulled his bottom lip before giving him a quick peck and let him go. She turned around and stared directly at me. She licked her lips and had a smug smile on her face as if she knew I was watching. Did she know? She couldn't have, it's impossible. Hade had a deep blush set across his face. His eyes were stuck on Zella. He finally took out his phone and saw my message. I cupped my hands around my mouth and shouted, "Hade!" He looked over at me and smiled. We started running towards each other. Our bodies collided and we hugged one another.

I looked over Hade's shoulder and saw Zella frowning, her eyebrows drawn together. Her hands were by her sides in a fist. She started marching towards us and ripped Hade off of me. She pushed him behind her. Hade asked what she was doing but she ignored the question. I can't lie, the look in her stormy eyes would make anyone tremble. She leaned down to my ear and whispered, "He may run to you, but he'll always come back to me." And with that she turned around, grabbed Hade's hand, and started walking towards the cafeteria.
