Where am I?

Small Town

Luke jerks awake with a start, yells,” What the hell?” Looking for the witch, who is sitting in the corner.

The witch looks up at him,” What, the spell only works until she wakes up, Not my fault you didn’t tell your pack what you were doing. If you did they would not have called the cops, plus she doesn’t see us, remember the illusion spell.” Under her breath she calls him an i***t.

 Luke looks at her,” I forgot, sorry. You are right, I didn’t tell my pack.” Shaking his head to clear the cobwebs from the spell or the dream he didn’t know stands up to go get another drink, this time a gin, after he downs it turns to Glenn,” Give the witch the remainder. I am awake and the woman is here.” already glad the witch will be leaving his home. 

Glenn hands the witch another envelope before heading the hag out of the room, telling another pack member to show her out and thanking him. Turning around looking at his Leader,” Are you sure that was smart?”

Luke shaking his head,” I don’t know, I am pulling at straws, but now that she is here my enemies won’t be able to get her.”

 Luke looks around the room not seeing any of it, but instead the destruction of his homeland where his family’s pack used to be. How he had overthrown the old leader after all the c*****e and death of so many of his kind. Where to be begin? When will the old leader seek revenge? Damn how he wished he had killed him, but his mother had begged for misery on his brother. when she saw who lead the c*****e.

Glenn watching him closely,” I know this is hard, but the hag seriously, is it really that important to have your mate brought here. I mean no disrespect, but if we didn’t know who she was, I am pretty sure no one else did either. I think you just want to settle down.” he walks for having a seat in a chair by the window to watch the van.

Luke smiles,” Yeah, you are probably right, you know me better than I know myself at times.” Walking over to him watching the van.

    Crystal takes the officers word and backs out of the driveway, deciding to find that motel to get a shower and clean clothes, after that she can explore the town. If her perspective it is a small town, a bar, a grocery store, a post office, a restaurant, and some small consignment stores, she hates consignment stores, second hand stuff at first hand prices – rip off to the highest power.

At the far end of town, an I mean the far end, then add a couple of miles to that you will find the motel Crystal pulls into the parking lot and parks the van by the office. Grabbing her stuff from the glove box, walks into the office she noticing a man sitting behind the counter reading the morning paper, putting a smile on,” Good morning, sir, I was wondering if you have any rooms available?” 

  The man looks up and smiles back at her,” Good morning, mam, I am Marcus, and yes there are plenty of rooms available. Would you like a full or king size bed?” folding the newspaper and putting it down

Crystal continues to smile at him,” A full size will be fine, thank you, away from everyone to please.” Just in case she needed to get her wolf on. The motel wasn’t much to look at, but there were plenty of woods and she could hear a river not to far off. Maybe foregoing a shower and soaking in the river for a few would be better, nah she needs a shower maybe tonight before bed instead, yeah that will be her plan, tonight before bed after running through the woods a little.

Marcus nods still smiling,” How many nights? It is $20 a night.”

Crystal looking around,” Let’s say a week, if that is okay.” There wasn’t much to look at, the counter is chest high and behind it was a TV. With remote and a small table with coloring books and crayons, with a few toddler books like Winnie- the- Pooh on top. Behind her is a wall with a window in it. She is thinking most the building is behind the counter where Marcus must live after all there is a door at the other end from where she came in.

Marcus nods as he puts it in the computer, looking up,” Drivers’ license, please?”

Crystal reaches into her back pocket and pulls the info out and hands it to him waiting for the total.

Marcus smiles at her and fixes adding in all the info,” That will be $140 please, cash or credit?”

Crystal,” That will be credit.” she hands him her card to run.
