The Creatures
823 Words
I yelped seeing the dark eyed wolves coming towards us in a menacing manner. I wanted to scream and run away, but for some reason I didn't.
That part of my body that was itching to come out here seemed somewhat satisfied that I did. I shook off the weird feelings that were suddenly brewing in my body as Vince's protective arm slumped down.
"s**t," he swore, "We're surrounded"
My heart began to pound and I could hear the thunder erupting from the clouds of my chest.
Alexandria shook, "Mama's going to kill me if they don't. I knew I shouldn't have agreed. I should've heeded her warning. Oh no, mama why am I so stupid? What's wrong-"
"I don't think this is the time to be punishing yourself so do us a favor and shut the hell up!" Vince rudely commented as he searched for an exit route.
I looked around hoping that something/someone would come to help us as the wolves continued to move towards us.
It was then when one of the wolves caught my eye. It's eyes were much more composed than the others.
I'm guessing it was the leader by the complexion of its fur and the way it toward over all the others.
We stared at one another for awhile, my pleading orbs, and it's calm emerald ones.
As much as I tried to look away, nothing had happened. It seemed as if the wolf had known who I was. It was as if he was expecting me to come out here, like it knew.
As crazy as that conclusion must sound, that's exactly what it felt like.
I jumped as the animal slammed it's paw onto the ground causing all the others in its pack to stop. All eyes were now on the leading wolf including Vince and Alexandria.
I froze not understanding what was happening until the wolf strode towards me. Once it was at my feet, it began to sniff.
The wolf had circled me and then stopped at my front as it looked from me, Alexandria, and to Vince.
Alexandria shook at my side uncontrollably and, maybe it was just the moonshine going away, but her once glowing hair was now dimming away. I didn't linger onto that fact because I was just too focused on the wolf that was still staring at me with such intensity.
I awaited his next gesture and was shocked to see that the wolf-like creature was now backing away. He turned around, but not before sending me what sounded as a warning growl.
The animals then retreated and so did we.
We were now back at the Hangout sitting on the log that Vince and I had shared.
I shook, "I'm so sorry Alexandria, I had no idea what was out there. I should've listened to you guys and not have gone"
I was disappointed in myself and honestly, I wouldn't be shocked if this girl never wanted to speak with me again.
Before she could even utter out a word, Vince angrily stood.
"You think? We could've been killed! I knew your kind were stupid, but this- This was just too much!" He walked away mumbling swears and comments.
My kind?
Alexandria just stood in my presence with an awkward silence hovering over our heads. We continued to say nothing towards one another.
"Do you hate me too?" I looked down in shame not wanting to look at her any longer.
I mean, I just met this girl and I was already unintentionally putting her into danger.
She sat beside me, "Vince is just naturally a mean person, he'll get over it and be back at your side by tomorrow. As for me, I had fun up until, you know, the sudden turn of events"
I laughed at her, "Thanks and I don't think Vince will be anywhere tomorrow. He's disliked me since day 1"
Alexandria smiled, "Don't they all start out that way?"
We laughed towards one another.
"Well, this was fun Jessica, and I hope we can hang out sometime, but I must get home before Mama gets mad" she said standing up beginning to walk the route towards her home.
"Do you want a ride?" Alexandria shook her head.
"No, I'm fine. My house is not too far from here" I smiled uneasy-like and nodded.
It was until she left that I realized something, her house was nowhere near the woods.
********
It was another day in Westbrook.
I've been the new girl for approximately two weeks.
What was so important about this day and fact?, you may wonder.
Well, let's just say that today, my title was about to be ripped away by not one, but five new boys and girls.
Most people would say that on the day that I arrived to Westbrook, all eyes were on me, but today- all necks broke just to lay eyes on the new kids.
