Stronger Than Most

Chapter Nine

It's a new day, and my nerves are a wreak. Hank is trying to enroll me in an online school to get my education in the library. I don't think this is really going to work.

"Hank, I know we have to do school and all, but don't you think that maybe we should try and find a job first?"

"Elijah, I'm on it. While the processes take time to get us enrolled, we are job hunting."

"That sounds good, because we need money. We are so broke."

"Elijah, there is a workout gym around the corner. Would you like to go and check it out?"

"Sure, I need to gain some muscles."

"Yes you do, and some meat on those bones of yours."

"Hey, I'm not the only one that needs meat on those bones. Have you looked at yourself lately?"

"Alright, then let's go then."

"Umm, Hank, I know you can sense things lately? Do you feel anything weird or different?"

No, why?"

"I think we are being followed."

"How do you know?"

"Because since we left the library that guy over there has been everywhere we've been."

"What does he look like?"

"Well, I don't know much about the world but he sticks out like a soar thumb. He had a fancy suit on standing behind the tree about a block away. I don't recognize him."

"Maybe it is all in your head, because I don't see anyone with that description."

"When I first saw him I thought it was just me being paranoid thinking they found us,but I still see him."

"Lets go around to the next block down an alley in the back and see if we are being followed."

We quickly hurry and end up in the alley and, sure enough, we are being followed because there are two of them.

"We need to find a way and contact Sharlot to find out what is going on."

We turn around and start running for our lives.

"I don't recognize them, Elijah."

Who could be following us then? "If you don't recognize them, then that means that maybe they are not from our pack. Alpha Nick or Beta David don't know yet that we are gone."

"Let's head back to the room, we can call Sharlot from there."

Running away from the packet does not look that fun to be if I always have to look over my shoulder.As far as Sharlot knows, no one knows that we are gone , so far they think we are dead. Then why are we being followed? I went for a walk to clear my head. The night is quiet, cool air. I had barely walked a block when I saw those guys again. I start running and they are running after me.

"Wait up! Is your name Elijah?"

"Who is asking?Who are you people?"

"Answer! Is your name Elijah?

"Why do you want to know?"

"We have been looking for you for years, there are things you need to know and where you come from."

"I don't know who you guys are, I know enough of where I'm from. You haven't told me yet who you are or why you guys are following me."

"You will know eventually."

Okay, this day is getting more weirder by the minute. I cant tell Hank what I just experienced out there. That I spoke with those guys and they seemed to know me. I don't remember them at all from the pack. I started to head back to the room when another group of guys were coming my way and they didn't look so friendly. Shoot! Now where am I going? I do not know this town to be running around by myself. I should not have left the room in the first place. I crossed the street quickly and started running the opposite direction and went around the block back to the room.

"Hank, I think we are in trouble. A group of guys were coming my way and they didn't look too happy. I think it is them. We have to leave now."

"Do they know we are here?"

"I don't think so, but I don't know."

"Let's assume they don't know and let's just stay here for the night. I'm pretty tired after today. I don't feel like running again."

"If you say so."

As I lay here trying to sleep, which is becoming very hard today, because these people could be out there. Not just the people that Alpha Nick and Beta David may have sent, but those other new guys that I encountered earlier.Any of them could just burst through those doors any minute. I should have told Hank about those other guys, and about what they said.

"Hank, wake up, Hank. Sshh, I hear someone outside our door."

"Elijah, its like three in the morning.What are you talking about? I don't hear anything."

"Just listen."

"s**t, we have to go on the run again. Alright, let's go."

I cant believe we are at this again, but definitely we have someone after us. We managed to lose their tail and found another place to be. Hopefully, they won't find us here. I'm not trapped in that dungeon cell anymore, but it sure feels like I still am, now we are running for our lives now. What have we gotten ourselves into? How is it that we are always being found so easily?

"Hank,'

"I know, don't tell me I know they found us again. I see them outside. We need to come up with a plan."

"What is the plan then? Because we are doomed and I cant think straight."

great, we are trapped and don'know who is after us. We are running out of options of were to run to.

"Hank, maybe we should just confront whoever is chasing us and find out what they want."

"Are you crazy, Elijah? It could be anyone. I am not trying to go back to the pack house.'

"Neither do I, Hank, but think about it. It could be them, maybe someone else that knows where we come from or even rogues."

"Run Elijah! They're behind you!'

"There is no where to run, you are both trapped now and coming with us."

"Alpha Nick is looking for you guys, he knows that you guys were not among the dead."
