The Werewolf's Odd Mate

Chapter Twelve

Scarlett's POV

Lizzy's house was far out into the thick forest. There were no buildings nor shops around us, we were isolated from any human beings.

I hate it. I hated not being close to my friends.

"This is the perfect place to commit a murder" Tyler muttered slamming the car door closed. His grey eyes roamed our surroundings, he seemed disappointed.

I held onto Lui’s sleeping body, he was so small and fragile, "Shut up Tyler." Lui wrapped his arms around my neck, his head fit perfectly into the crook of my neck, his legs dangled at my hips.

Tyler turned to glare at me, "What do you want me to do? Do you want me to look at the bright side?" He shook his head and looked at Lizzy and her fiancé as she opened the door to her huge house.

Jesse turned to us and smiled, he motioned us to come in, "Come on I don't bite."

Tyler walked past him, "We're not dogs Jesse."

Jesse stared at him wide eyed, Lizzy turned to glare at Tyler, "Seems like Gram raised him wrong." She had the nerve to say that.

"Well it’s not like you could have done better" I muttered walking past her, "And before you say that you could have raised him better, remember you weren't there half of our life so you have no right to criticize Gram."

She stayed wide mouthed, I walked into the warm house. Tyler walked up the stairs and into a room to the left. I waked up there after him. Every room had their own name tag.

I walked into my room and placed Lui onto my bed, it was pretty late and I didn't want to sleep alone in this huge room. I took off my sweater and jeans, placing them with some gray sweat pants and a blue shirt.

I laid in bed, hugging Lui. The door opened and for a minute I thought it was Lizzy, but Tyler’s gaze proved me wrong.

"What are you doing" I muttered staring at him.

He walked up to me and I scooted over, pushing Lui closer to the wall. He picked up the cover and laid on the bed facing me.

"Tyler?" I didn't understand.

"It hurts Scarlett, it hurts" he whispered. I could see his cheeks begin to sparkle.

"What does" I asked wiping his tears.

"I don't know, it hurts. Whenever I think of Gram and the blood, her face. She was waiting for me to save her." He was whimpering. The only person in my life who I had never seen cry was crying in front of me, he was the strong one from the both of us. But today he was so broken, so weak.

I wrapped my arms around his head and pulled him closer, "I know Tyler, it has to hurt but I promise it'll go away."

"When will this go away?" he sobbed.

My job was to protect my brothers from harm, I was supposed to protect them from pain. But this was a pain I couldn't help him in. Tyler sobbed into my shirt. My heart was breaking, this wasn't fair. This isn't fair.

"Tyler, just hold on it'll go away." I whimpered trying to hold him tighter. He was breaking and I couldn't stop it. I couldn't help him as a sister, we needed Gram.

"You'll be fine, we'll be fine. We just have to stick together" I reassured, I didn't know who I was talking to. Myself or Tyler.

"I promise, it'll be over, I promise."
