My snarky wolf decided to finally make her appearance known saying "of course you did Danny, wolf hearing remember".
Sending her a mental image of slapping her silly I hear her chuckle as she retreats to the back of my mind leaving me with a million questions.
That night I can't sleep, my mind picturing every horror movie demon I can imagine. Images of the viking god's head spinning while he spits out pea soup vividly play in my head. At some point I finally gave in to sleep.
The next morning I was woken up by the delicious smell of bacon cooking. I made my way downstairs stairs and headed into the kitchen.
I see mom, at the stove with a spatula in her hand singing along to a song on the radio and moving to the beat. Smiling I come behind her and hug her snatching a piece of bacon off the plate on the counter.
Swatting me with the spatula she tells me "coffees on the counter dear."
I take my seat at the kitchen island behind her and sip my coffee. Dad comes down as she's serving us. he kisses mom on the cheek and smacks her butt. Noticing me, he chuckles telling me "good morning sweetheart, I didn't see you there".
we sit and start eating. mom looks at dad a bit seriously and dad clears his throat. I just know he's going to ask me about what happened last night, before he gets the chance I'm excusing myself to take a shower. whew I just dodged that bullet. I honestly wouldn't even know where to start. their guess is as good as mine.
After taking a long hot shower I throw on my jeans and my favorite ACDC shirt..pair it with my vans and I'm off to explore.
The pack is in the middle of the mountains. Beautiful forest seemingly everywhere you look. I start making my way towards the center of town and take in the quaint atmosphere. A few shops, a dinner, a coffee shop, a market and a small gas station, all of it giving a small town vibe. Something about feels like home.
With that thought I smile and head into the cute coffee shop on the corner.
it all just feels right.
that is until...
Nyx starts anxiously making laps in my mind as I'm about to open walk into the cute shop. as I'm heading to the counter to order a pretty blonde girl about my age smiles at me saying "what can i get you"
"Can I get a caramel macchiato and a chocolate chip cookie please" I say in return.
she asks if it was for here or to go. Deciding to stay I sit at the counter, hoping I can maybe make a new friend.
looking around at the empty coffee shop I can't help the feeling that I'm being watched but i choose to ignore it.
Blondie brings my order and asks if I'm new. I nod, saying yes.
Before you know it blondie, who I now know is 17 too and named Mary. We end up talking like we've known each other forever and decide to exchange numbers.
I finish my coffee and cookie realizing it's time to head home. After promising to text Mary later I'm off.
I'm one foot off the curb and a silver sports car swerves towards me like it's going to hit me...my wolf reflexes have me jumping out of the way right on time.
I hear a familiar snarl and fading yell.
"I told you to stay the f**k out of my way."
Wondering what the hell Demon boy's problem with me is. I start making my way home being sure to walk facing oncoming traffic, just in case Linda Blair jr comes back to use me as a speed bump.
