chapter 10 : cord cutter gone

Mia looked her phone and thought, well that was a big load of nothing. She slammed her phone shut and put it back in her pocket. " well my dad wasn't helpful at all. " she looked at cole and noticed the way light caught his hair and made it shine giving him a proverbial Halo. she herself blush a bit but kept her face as a neutral as possible. when she heard the fake names they gave be called she took the opportunity to get up and grab them giving herself a bit of space. s**t he actually looked kind of cute back there. She took a deep breath and centered herself for walking back to the table where Cole was. she sat down. she let out a sigh and handed cole is coffee, she watched as cole sip his. mia soon did the same with her coffee as well.

As they enjoyed their coffee Mia got a ping on her phone and looked or text messages and saw a message from her dad. " hay sweetie, I was in a meeting at you're school. you're counselor had some.... Opinions. she's the one who made the missing persons report. other packs may be looking for you as well as human cops. stay safe little wolf. " she took a deep breath. she wanted to grounded her self before she lost her cool. she looked at Cole with worry and frustration. "Apparently, my school counselor's the one who filed the report." mia rolled her ice blue eye and as her.

Cole frowned, setting his cup down. "Damn. we need to find that guy your looking to cut you’er string of what ever. so you don’t have be with what's his name. “ mia let out a huff. “ it’s cord cutter and they cut you cord of fate from you’re soulmate so you find someone else and what’s is face is named Dustin. “ she looked at him and for see what he was thing. “ i’m not in a cult Cole! this is real! “ he gave her slow nodded. “ sure you’re not,that’s why you’re school counselor put out a missing person's notice for you. Yep definitely not a cult. “ his voice was filled with sarcasm as he spoke.

Mia glared at him, her eyes sharp like daggers. "Laugh all you want, but I'm not going back until I get this fixed." She pulled her hair back, frustration evident in the tense way she moved.

Cole leaned back in his chair, hands up in mock surrender. "Hey, I'm here, aren't I? Not exactly what I'd choose for a road trip." She softened a bit at that, a reluctant smile teasing her lips. "Yeah, well, you're still poking fun." she smiled at Cole’s antics and can see he was trying to get her to laugh "Can't help it," Cole said with a grin. he knew he had one when he got her to crack a smile. the laugh was just a bonus.

Mia snorted and took another sip of her coffee. She felt the caffeine buzz through her system like an electric current, steadying her nerves. She looked out the window where the sky where the sun was getting higher, clouds thickening above them. "We should hit the road again soon," she said. they made their way to the car and drove round. mia could smell other packs in New York and stop when she found one close enough. She stopped the car a little ways back and got out. they stop near a street with odd graffiti-Like symbols on the walls outside buildings. “ oh god this how we die isn’t it…. “ she heard Cole murmur as he looked around, eyes wide.

Mia smirked at him. "Relax. they're not murderer us you big baby." She stepped out of the car and walked with confidence, her steps echoing on the pavement. The symbols painted on the walls seemed to hum with an energy that made the air feel alive, and Mia knew they were getting close. Cole followed her, a half-amused, half-nervous grin on his face. "Not yet anyway," he said under his breath but picked up the pace to stay close behind her.

They turned a corner and found a group of people gathered around a makeshift fire in an old oil drum. The flames flickered orange light onto their faces, highlighting sharp cheekbones and piercing eyes that looked almost otherworldly in the shadows. As Mia and Cole approached, one of them a tall guy with a shock of white-blond hair stepped forward

"Hey," Mia said with cheer in her voice. “ I was wondering if you know were the cord cutter was. “ she smiled and gulped down her nervousness. “ please. “ she add. she let out a nervous laugh. the man let out a laugh. " yea I know were he is. "The man gave them directions I'm ready to find the cord cutter. They now know where him. and where to find him and finally get this over with.

as they got back in the car they found that they we're stuck in standstill traffic. " damn it! " mia pounded her hands onto the steering wheel and triggered the car horn. cole let out a breath and looked at his phone and found a mysterious message from an unknown number had popped up. " you can run but you can't hide. " he looked at the message felt his heart stop for a minute as cold sweat began to form on his brow. He was struck with a sense of fear. He quickly shut his phone and tried to look out the window, trying to act normal.

When they made their way to the cord cutters it was complete stop and go as they would continue to hit stan still traffic and have to wait for it to start moving again. Eventually they made to the cord cutters house. mia was so happy, after being an end-to-end staying still traffic she finally made it. " oh thank the goddess we're here! " cole looked away from here and let out a cough. " cult " covering it with his hand. mia rolled her eyes and practically ran out of the car as she slammed the door. mia got up to the front door and started banging on it. " hello! mister cord cutter we need to see you! " she waited a bit before banging on the door again knocking even louder. " hay you have people here to see you! "

cole slowly made his way out of the car, he slowly made his way to Mia. He noticed a paper sticking out of the mailbox. as mia was pounding on the door like a Mad woman cole walked to the mailbox and pulled out the piece of paper. " hay mia you might wanna come look at this. " he looked at him with wild Crazy Eyes. " what, what is it?! " she rushed over and took the note. cole looked at her in Surprise. " are you shitting me?!" mia yelled in rage. " he moved!? " meal it out it frustrated yell" f**k! " she stomped back to the car with cole following. he saw upset and frustrating she was.

he walked over to his side of the car while doing the egyptian. as he made his way to the car door he saw her let out a small smile. he open the door and got in. " ok let find the cord guy, yea?" she let out a small smile. " yea let go. "
