My Dead Mate (On Hold)

My new enemy/ in the woods

I walk into History class only to be greeted by many eyes. "Well hello.  I'm Mrs. Tina. Welcome to my History class. Have a seat anywhere."  I go and sit in the back of the classroom. "Okay class, today  I have to go to a meeting so just be quiet and I'll let you have a free period."  The class cheered and the teacher left the room. The blonde from lunch came up to me.

"Can I help you?"

"Hi.  I'm Maria. Do you want to be friends."

"Sorry, I don't make friends with girls who threaten me."

"Well,  I was trying to live by that old saying, "Keep your friends close but your enemies closer."

"I guess were on the same page."

"What?"

"You think we're enemies too. Good."

"Stay away from Dylan."

"I'm not going to steal your little crush."

"He's not my crush!" she yells fiercely.

"Yes, he is but he doesn't want you."  I say calmly.

"Yes he does!"

"Nope."

"You just ruined your social standing here."

"I'm so scared."

"You should be!"

 I just laughed as she struts away. She goes and sits with some of her friends. The bell rings.  I go to my locker and get ready to leave because I have free period next.  I walk outside, put my helmet on and ride my motorcycle to the park, which is right next to the woods.  I get off my bike and take my helmet off.

I walk into the woods. I have all these images of Jacob running through my head. He loved the woods.  We would always take walks in the woods. It's like my safe spot now.  I see a river up ahead and go sit down next it. Tears start to fall without my wanting them but I couldn't stop them.  I miss him so much.  I need him.  I don't know how much longer I can take living without him.  I feel a presence behind me. Larry!  I immediately stand up and face him.  "What do you want?!" I scream at him.

"Just this. To have you scared,  looking around every corner, and never knowing when I'm going to attack."

"I'm watching.  I know were you live. I know who annoys you,  that Maria chick.  I know that Dylan confuses you and that he's lying about not knowing Jacob.  I know you think Macy is cool and I know that you miss Jacob so much that you think you can't live much longer without him."

"Well, do you know that I'm going to kill you. That I've made that my goal in life.  You're going to die before I do, I'll make sure of it."

"Darling,  just remember I'm always watching and I'm always one step ahead of you. Never forget that.  Oh, and by the way,  I know how Dylan knows Jacob and I can't wait until you find out."   With that he walks away.   I stare after him.  What did mean by that?  There's no way I'll be able to go anywhere calmly now.  I scream in frustration, what am I going to do?

 I collapse, sobbing and screaming.  What am I going to do?  I need him! 

Dylan walks up behind me.  I knows he's there, but I just ignore him.  He tries to get near me, but I punch him and he backs up. "Erica?" he asks hesitantly.

"Go away. I need him not you!" I scream at him.

"Who? Erica, who do you want. I'll go get him."

"You can't get him!  He left me. He's gone forever!  I need him!  He's gone!"  I scream.

"Erica, let me help."  Dylan says calmly.  I stop screaming and just cry.

"How do you know him?"

"Who?"

"Jacob." He stiffens.

"I don't."

"Yes you do. Please, I just need to know.  He's not with me anymore and I need him, please."

"How do you know him?" He asks me.

"I loved him.  He was my mate."

"You're a werewolf?"

"No, but he was."

"What happened to him?"

"Larry killed him.  He's gone."  I'm crying even more now.

"I know him because..."
