My phone starts to ring so I put away my revenge board, I'll need to burn it later on just in case anyone wants to ask questions. I look at the name on the screen.
Nicolette Katrese- Le Tellier.
It's about damn time.
"Hey," I say.
"Hey Bay," says Nicki.
"Where are you? It's been two weeks!" I exclaim.
"Don't worry, it's taken care of, none of this will ever see the light of day again," she says her tone fighting between grief and relief.
"Where are you?" I repeat a bit slower this time.
"Relax I just entered back into the state limits," The state limits, that's good that's only thirty minutes away from Redwood.
"Nic," I breathe
"If this ever got out,-"
"I know, I know, and I'm telling you right now it's not, and it never will, it'll never leave Redwood," she reassures
"It can't," I breathe
I hang up and pace around my room, it had been a long two weeks and revenge had kept me occupied for the most part, but now that all of the wrongdoers on my life have been corrected, I was snapped back to the reality that I had done the unthinkable, no, not I, we.
It all started the summer of ninth grade...
"Who's there," I can't breath. I'm always looking over my shoulder ever since- I can't think about the now. I have to run but where, back to Jake? No I can't, everything is different now. He's supposed to be here to protect me, because if the got me... blood smears the pages of the passed. "Sapphire!" I hear him call. "Coal!" I reach out to touch him only for him to be yanked just out of my reach. I hear the wolves in the distance howling at the beautiful moon. I need his touch again. I need to know I'm safe. The only safe place anymore is pressed against him under the sheets. "Coal!" I call out again. ---I can hear her. She's here somewhere I know it. I can smell her sent threw the thick of the woods. "Sapphire!" I call out, but my call is lost in the night. I have to protect her. I have to save one, just one. Maybe that will be enough to clean the blood off my tainted skin. What if they get her? She'll... Change... I look up at the moon, could she not have heard my howls? Of course she did. She always did. I can hear the other wolves in the forest. Soon I too would be engulfed by the beast. Unable to control myself, unable to predict the beasts next move. Only she could tame the beast inside me. Why be afraid of the monster under the bed when you should be afraid of the one lying next to you under the sheets.--- I keep quiet in the deep dark night. Watching her waiting for her to come back to me. I wait for him to slip up just long enough for me to swoop in and take her. It's only a matter of time. I wait for him to turn into that hideous beast. The beast that only comes out in the light of the moon. The beast that feeds of the insentient. I have to find her,to make her perfect, at least that's what they tell me. They tell me she'll be perfect and she will be mine. She will be the beginning of a new ere the ere of the beast. Everyone has secrets. Everyone lies. Everyone cries. Everyone dies.
