The doorbell rang, pulling me from my trance. I strolled through the living to the front door, still holding the mug of coffee in my hands. I peeped through the peephole and saw a young boy standing innocently outside. He seemed to be somewhat six years old and so I didn't hesitate in opening the door since the weather was gradually getting colder these days. I was already expecting snow. He was shivering from his head to his toes and looked at me with wide piercing blue eyes. "Who's at the door?" I heard Maddie's voice nearing as she came closer to me. Who was at the door? That was a good question. Wolf Blood © Copyright 2015 All Rights Reserved

I lost my father the most important man in the whole world. My whole world is falling apart. I cut myself every day, my mom not knowing. I never thought I could find love. I thought I was a useless piece of shit. Apparently not.

"Hey there beautiful, wanna go out sometime?" He asked with a slight smirk. "With you?" I asked in a sweet voice. "Sure thing baby girl" He replied. I faced him, slightly moving closer. "You know what I really want?" I asked in a seductive tone. "Mhm?" he asked, his eyes filled with lust. I slowly leaned forward, placing my hands on his chest and leaned towards his mouth. My mouth was inches away from his and he closed his eyes as I smirked with satisfaction. It was working. Surprising everyone, I lifted my leg and kicked him were the sun don't shine. Gasps were heard throughout the hall and Chase instantly fell to the ground, holding his precious jewels. "What the fuck?!" He groaned. In a deadly sweet voice I got down to eye level. "Well now you know how it feels when you break a girls heart". I stood up and walked away. Everyone looked at me with awe stricken faces and I twirled my body around putting my hand on my hip. "By the way the names Avery Blue" I spoke loudly. Flashes of recognition crossed people's faces but Chase was the most shocked of them all. I stared at Chase straight in the eyes.
