Here is to live

Chapter 18

"Danita!" Suddenly hearing my name be shouted on my ear woke me up with a feeling that I might get a heart attack from it. Deciding to take a rest to slow down my rapidly beating heart I let out a sigh.

Feeling better I decided to open my eyes. Surprised to see Amber still on top of me with a wide grin on her face I secretly plotted a plan to get back at her. then asked "Why did you have to shout directly on my ear?"

Amber's face fell and changed from this cocky b***h to this sorry looking puppy eyed look that she always does to make me forgive her. But I have expected this. And this time I will just play with her.

"Okay, I forgive you. Just tell me a valid reason." I urge her to believe that I have forgiven her while trying to get a reasonable answer why she did what she did.

"Well,. Actually, I was not supposed to do that. But you see, I have been trying to wake you up for a bout 10 minutes now. And you're still not waking up." Spluttered out the words with out pausing to breath.

"Well, there are some other ways to wake me up. Have you even tried them before you tried to destroy my eardrums?" I asked her again trying to play with her.

"Well, I have, really. But it seems that you were so exhausted from last night so.. By the way, you might want to put on your clothes before or dads arrive." She yet again gave out an answer to my question while leaving me alone on the bed.

Remembering what happened last night made me realize what she meant. "Oh!" I manage to let out before wrapping the blanket on my body.

"Oh?! WTH dani! Dont tell me you have forgotten about last night?" By hearing my simple comment, Amber bursts out shouting at me. But I didn't gave her any attention until I finished putting my clothes on.

After making sure that I am at least presentable, before totally doing my morning ritual, I sat on the bed and faced her. Giving her a wide grin her face started to fall.

"You've got to be kidding me!" An angry Amber burst out. But she don't scare me. In fact I let out a loud laugh. "Haha. Well, technically you've been punked!" I shouted at her still laughing my heart out.

"You're so evil. D'you know that?" Amber groaned in frustration. "Hmm. Actually, my dear bff, playback's a bitch." I spat at her with a wide grin on my face.

Unable to handle her self anymore, she tackled me until we fell down to the floor. "Say mercy!" She shouted. But I wont give her that kind of reward. While on the middle or trying to get amber off of me, we got startled with the noise of a car engine from a far.

Totally stopping from our playfulness, Amber spoke first. "They are early. I'm not yet ready to start the day." She whines while letting go of my arms and hopping off of me.

"Yeah, well we don't have a choice now, do we? I'll just do my rituals fast." Making sure to get ready for the day I inform Amber what I'll be doing so she may do her daily routine as well.

After a few this and that, and we're ready for the day ahead. Once our dad's arrive we both are already ready for the training that they have for us. And now, we're on our way down off the treehouse.

"Had a good night's sleep?" Dad asked with a wide grin on his face. Taking all my energy to not give in to his trap. I gave him a questioning look.

Well, since the day that they told us about their job and all about how real werewolves are they have been training us and had kicked us both out from home. So, Amber and I have been living here in the woods for about a week now. But our parents still support us. It's just that they want us to learn on our own and start to be independent.

"Hey. Earth to Dani." My dad is waving his hand infront of me taking me away from my thoughts. I just gave him a shy smile in return. "Sorry pops. Just a little bit sleepy." I gave him an answer for the silent question that he have given me.

"Okay then. Let us start the training. Girls, both of you know the routine by heart now. Please start." Since both of us have such high energy, we didn't think twice and started the jog.

First part of our training will be the running or rather jogging for 30 minutes no food, nothing. We will be allowed to eat after 10 minutes of rest, after the run. Once properly rested after eating, we'll continue the circuit as if we're a part of a secret army to save human kind.

It has been five days now and I guess our bodies have adjusted to the hard work, because it has been around 3 hours now and I'm not anywhere near exhausted. And neither is Amber.

So I guess we're becoming stronger now. Plus the fact that I am some how almost over Sky and what I feel about her. This past week have helped me a lot that most of the time I'm thankful for the incident that happened last Tuesday. But the guy's face still hunts me. I guess, I won't get over it that easily.

After everything that is needed to do, we hunt, not wolves but something to eat for lunch. And this is the part that I'm waiting for. Not because of the food but it's for my archery training. This is an additional training that I receive because of my skill in archery. That is what I'm proud of.

Once we've caught a rabbit or a dear, our dads will continue with the cooking while Amber and I gets to clean up. Fortunately for us there is a built in bathroom for us in the treehouse. Of course, that's courtesy of Amber. Because she was the one who had designed and decorated the treehouse as it is.

after cleaning ourselves, we stayed for a while and decided to get back down once the food is ready. That means we could have a few minutes more of rest. And since I am done whit everything, I laid back on the bed.

"I think we're stronger now. I think I can even lift you." Amber was the first to break the silence. And "uhuh" was all I have to say.

I think I was blankly looking at the ceiling for a number of seconds because the next thing I know is Amber's already on top of me. Our faces a few inches away. "Welcome back" she said with a cocky grin.

"What are you doing?" I ask her my breath heaving. But she didn't answered, instead her left hand started to roam my sides making me jerk a bit. "My dad and yours. Both are down there." I told her, feeling the heat starting to flow through my body.

"I don't care." She said, her breath hot on my face. Now her face no longer have that cocky grin but is now full of lust. She moved closer now, allowing our bodies to collide.

Not being able to control myself I let out a low moan. But have forced myself to talk "We can't do this now." My voice pleading but deep down I know I want her too.

"Yes, we can Dani." She didn't even cared if our dads are down there and I was sure of it; because the next thing, her lips had landed on mine. I tired so hard to stop her but my lips have given in.

Her tongue is lining my lips asking for entrance. I hesitate for a moment then gave her access. Upon receiving her soft tongue and her feeling mine, I got pleasured by a low soft moan that she have let out.

A smile came to my face, I know what I make her feel and I'm proud of it. Yes, I know it's not right cause we're bestfriends but she's the one who insist and this is not the first time we did it.

Feeling my whole body heat up a little more, I started to go with the flow. I started caressing her lower back. Enjoying to hear her moan while grabbing her ass. Then I felt her left hand line the hem of my shorts.

Feeling my core soaking wet, I untangled our lips. Suddenly feeling the need for air; I could feel myself gasp for air and so did Amber. Once I got ok, I grabbed her hair with a grin on my face. "Stop teasing me bitch." I hissed at her in whisper.

Giving me a very wiild grin she continued to move her hand into my shorts. Lowering her touch going through my underwear to my wet core. I gasped when I felt her enter me while she gave me butterfly kisses from my neck down.

I could feel her move in and out of me, pleasuring me towards my climax. But I wont let this be just all about me. Reaching down to her shorts, I unbuttoned and unzipped it and worked my way in to her underwear.

Feeling her wetness made me feel proud of my self. Then I confidently entered her and started to pleasure her. She started to moan, but I know that she can be too loud so I covered her mouth.

"Don't. Don't be too loud." I told her while trying to catch my breath. "I'm sorry." Was all she said. Then we continued to pleasure eachother. "Don't stop." She said. That means she's nearing her climax and so am I.

I continued to move in and out of her mirroring her every move. "Almost there. Come with me." she spoke breathlessly until we both climaxed with soft moans, controlled so our dads wont hear us.

She drops down to my side while catching her breath. "You are unbelievable." I told her without turning to look at her. "Yeah, I know." Was her proud answer. "Haha! Dumdum! I was talking about what had just happened while our dads are right down there." I crashed her cockiness with my crazy attitude.

"I can't believe we just had a quicky." She said, shock registered on her voice. "Yeah, that's because of your crazy hormones that you can't control." Not be able to control myself, I told her what I really think.

"I'm sorry." She said. "It's okay. Just please next time, okay?" I let her know that I'm not mad, but reprimanded her for what had happened and what might had happened.

She nods, letting me know that she understood what I am trying to tell her. "Go fix yourself, they might be done. I will wait for you down there." I said what I needed to say and left to go converse with our dads.

As I got down from the tree house my dad greeted me with his left eyebrow raced. So I gave him a what are you thinking version of an eyebrow race. That left him chuckling by himself.

After a few moments Amber got down from the treehouse and we're now having lunch. Amber and I, we're silently eating while our dads having conversion. Then suddenly their conversation diverted to us.

"So girls, we think that you two are good to go." My dad started that I'm pretty sure received a questioning look from both of us.

"What he means is that the training is done and the both of you may get back as being normal people." Uncle Luke, Amber's dad told us with a grin.

Taking in what he have just said, I tried to analyze and process it's meaning. "So dad, you mean that we could go back home no?" Amber had analyzed faster, so she have voiced out the question that I have first come up with.

"Yes. And that also means going back to school." My dad was the one to answer her question. And that answer received a very loud sigh from both of us. I guess we're both not yet ready to go back to school.

"Don't be like that. Girls, you both need to go back to school. Yes, we're hunters, but that does not feed us. Being a hunter is just plus to our lives. Think of it as something like a secret life of a superhero."

Dad lectures us. But it does not end there. Because uncle Luke also has something to say. So we kept quiet and obediently listened.

"John is right. And besides girls, we need you both to keep an eye on the teens."

"By teens you mean-" Amber was not able to finish because her dad interrupted immediately.

"Yes, that means the ones like the boy that you've seen a week ago." He finishes the whole information that we need to know.

After a long 2 hours after our conversation, here we are packing our things while our dads wait for us down on the car. I was on the last piece of shirt when something hit my head and when it fell I saw a black colored bra.

Facing Amber, I ignored her grin and asked her what her problem is. When she answered "Nothing. That is just not mine." She laughed out loud when she saw me hurriedly chucked the bra on my bag when I recognized it.

"Bitch." I spat at her, which she answered with a "I know." That left us laughing our hearts out. After a while and managing to talk in between breaths I said "But seriously, I will miss this place"

"Yeah. I will too. But staying hear for a week will keep me from coming back for a couple of months."

"Well, I second that." I told her feeling the same way as she does.

The car ride home was quiet. The only sound we have was the music on the radio and or dads humming along. Then my dad suddenly said "oh! I remembered something."

"And what is it dad?" I ask him. Curious on what he had forgotten.

"We told the school that both of you had allergies from the trip we had on the forest. So think of what to tell your friends if ever they ask questions. And by the way, both of you will be back to school tomorrow."

All was said and all we had to say was "okay'". Dad continued to humm with the music and the rest of the ride stayed the same until we reached our house.

Once we arrived, we parked infront. I took my things from the back of the truck while dad talked with uncle Luke. I bid my goodbye to Amber and told her to pick me up tomorrow before school, which she agreed to. When we're all done, they drove of and continued their drive home.

"Welcome back." That familiar voice that I missed for a whole week greeted me. I turned around an found my mom standing a couple of steps away. Then dad suddenly took hold of the bad I'm holding. When I turned to look at him, he nodded and I took that as my signal. I immediately run towards mom and huged her tight.

"Oh! You've gotten stronger." She said chuckling. But I replied with a 'I miss you too' and ignored what she had said.

I am pretty glad to see her again but I can't deny that I missed my room and the whole house too. Plus my car, but I'm not yet ready to take her to school again. That's why I asked Amber to pick me up tomorrow.

When we got inside the house I instantly ran to my room. But before I got the chance to close the door mom shouted and informed me that dinner will be ready after an hour and thirty minutes. I shouted a okay then closed the door.

I didn't bother to take my things from my dad because there are no important things inside it. This is because before they trew us to the treehouse, they instructed us to live our valuables on our rooms. Which is just fine because it helped us concentrate on our training.

As I turn around after closing the door, I felt welcomed by my cozy bed and so I just walked towards it and dropped on top. 'Hmm' was the only word that I managed to let out because I suddenly felt too tired.

I was to drift out to dream land when I suddenly remembered to turn on my cellular phone; which is currently located on the closet of the bedside table. I summoned the other strength I still have and reached for the phone.

After starting the phone and when it's done loading, all the text message started to come in, even the missed calls and voicemails.

Browsing the textmessage, nothing caught my interest. But i got shocked upon checking the missed calls, because Sky's name was one of the caller id of the misscalls I received. Why did she tried to call me, I ask my self. But I found no answer.

Going through the voicemail, all we're almost kind of junk. But then this lovely voice of Skylar came and I can't help but smile widely. Hearing her voice really lightens my mood.

I was so high remembering all the past memories I had with her since she came to my life. When suddenly, the memory of that day brought me back to reality. Realizing what a fool I am thinking that we could be together, I immediately deleted her message.

The rest of the night was spent with me and my parents catching up on what happened the rest of the week. After dinner and everything got settled. I fixed my things and readied the clothes that I'll be wearing the next day.

After fixing my things, I took a quick shower and laid in bed. I guess that I missed my bed so much because I instantly fell asleep.

Today is our first day at school after that thing that happened last tuesday night. I woke up early and is done after 30 minutes. After eating pancakes and omelet, I brushed my teeth and went out on the porch to wait for Amber to pick me up.

It's just around 10 before 7, so I still have time to relax. I didn't wait too long because she arrived 15 minutes after. Picked up my things, informed mom that we'll go ahead and hopped on Amber's car.

"Goodmorning. You're early." I greeted her with a smile. "I'm a bit excited. This will be our first day to know which is which." Amber answered my silent question straightforwardly. A trait that I admire about her so much.

She drove off after I fastened my seatbelt. The rest of the ride was somehow quiet. I guess, we've run out of things to talk to since we were isolated with each other for the past week. Then my phone started ringing.

When I checked on my phone to find out who was calling. I got shocked to see that it was Sky, who is calling. "Who is it?" Amber ask curiously.

"It's Skylar." I informed her. Her face went from happy to concerned. "Wait 'til if finish ringing then put it on silent." She ordered, which I obeyed instantly when it stopped ringing.

"Dani."

"Huh?"

"Are you ready to see her again?"

Amber's question was the one that I have been avoiding since yesterday at lunch. Then I asked myself that question again. 'Am I ready to see her?'

"Yes. I am." Without thinking much, I answered her instantly. But I know deep down that I'm not yet ready for the heart break when I see her and her new girlfriend.

Okay was all she said. When we arrived at school, we were immediately greeted by our other friends. And yes, this is the start of the unending questions about our 1 week absence.

Everything ended when the bell rang. I silently thanked god for it, because I can't take it any longer. And when I entered our room for first period, the inevitable happened.

I sighed with defeat in acceptance to the fact that I will need to talk to her sooner or later. Which faith undoubtedly planned to be sooner rather than later.

"Hi. I missed you guys. What happened?"

And that is Skylar, always the happy one. I can't believe she said she missed us, but somehow got disappointed that it was address to me and Amber.

"Oh, hi. We missed you too. We had allergies when we went to a nature trip with our dads."

Amber saved me, she's the one who answered but I don't know if Sky will buy it. Well I guess she really did, because she just say 'I see." And faced front because the teacher have arrived.
