Two Worlds Apart COMPLETE

Chapter 9: Two of the same

Michael POV

I woke up the next morning, today was the day that I have to talk to Clayton, to try and get Lilly out of the dungeon. I got up took a shower and got dressed in a dark blue top and a jean. I called Clayton and told him we need to talk, that it’s very urgent. I heard knocking on the door and knew it was him. I opened the door for him and we went to the kitchen to get a cup of coffee. He had a dark green shirt and a jean on.

(C is for Clayton, M is for Michael)

C: “What was so urgent?”

M: “I’m about to tell you something that you won’t like, but I need you to keep it quiet, or something bad will happen.”

C: “Okay, what will happen and what am I not going to like?”

M: “I’ve been seeing Lilly, in secret until she was captured. I need you help to get her out. If you tell anyone about this she will be killed.”

C: “WHAT?!! You’ve been with a werewolf?! How could you, they’re our enemies, they’re killers and animals with no remorse.”

M: “You’re wrong Clayton, they’re not animals, and not all of them are bad!”

He got up and left the house, without saying another word. There was nothing I could do but hope he’ll keep this a secret.

Clayton POV

I left Michael’s house, angry and upset. How could he be with one of them? How could he even think it’s okay to have feeling for one of those monsters? What was he thinking?

I went for a walk near the river to clear my head and decide what to do with this information. The forest was beautiful this time of year. Everything was bright green, there were so many smells of different flowers. I started to debate whether or not I Should tell Carlo? If I do tell him he might have Michael killed for being so close to her. Why did he have to go and put me in this position where have to lie to cover for him? As I looked up, I saw someone standing in the distance, a beautiful girl with long blond hair, and ocean blue eyes. She had a bright pink shirt on and a light blue jean with light pink sneakers. My heart started to race and a lump formed in my throat. I just stood there staring at her. She saw me and ran the other way. Who was she? Why did I feel that way? Was she a werewolf? She had to be because I’ve never seen her before and she’s on their side of the river. Was I falling for the one thing I despise in this world? I walked back to Michael’s house, my head spinning out of control with thoughts and my heart speeding feeling every emotion there was. Love for her, anger towards myself for liking her, sadness for not going after her. Everything all at the same time. I walked back to Michael’s house to talk to him, to apologize for how I reacted and to get his advice on this girl. I got to his house and knocked, when he opened the door, he looked surprised.

(C is for Clayton, M is for Michael)

C: “We need to talk… please.”

M: “Come in.”

We went to the living room and sat down on his black leather couches.

M: “What do you want to talk about?”

C: “I want to apologize for my reaction earlier. I also want to say that I understand now how you feel.”

M: “How so?”

C: “I saw a werewolf down by the river, she was breath taking. I felt feelings I’ve never felt before. I only saw her for a few seconds but, I know she’s the one.”

M: “I’m glad you understand, will you help me get Lilly out of the dungeon, and away from Carlo?”

C: “Yes, but we have another problem.”

M: “And that is?”

C:” If we free Lilly on out next shift, Carlo will know it’s us and we will all have to spend the rest of out lives running and hiding. I don’t know about you but, that doesn’t seem like much of a life to me.”

M: “Your right, what do you propose.”

C: “Carlo comes back from his business trip in a few days. I say we take him out, I’m the next in line to be leader of the clan, so we can sign a peace treaty with the werewolves and then you and Lilly and me and the princess can be together without living in fear.”

M: “That’s a good idea.”

C: “Tomorrow I’m on guard, do you think Lilly will tell me who that werewolf is?

M: “I don’t know she seemed very upset last time.”

C: “I can’t blame her.”

The rest of the day we just spoke about the plan to take the power from Carlo and make peace with the werewolves. I went home around 22:00 and went straight to sleep.

I got up the next morning got dressed and went to speak with Lilly. Michael came with, he did most of the talking while I stood guard in case anyone showed up.

Michael POV

I went to bed after Clayton left. I got up early, I’ve been struggling to sleep since Lilly was captured. I worry too much. Clayton came by and we went to see Lilly, she wasn’t very happy to see me.

(M is for Michael, L is for Lilly)

M: “Good morning, I need to talk to you.”

L: “Go to hell.”

M: “Lilly please. Me and Clayton have a plan to get you out of here, but we need your help, we need information.”

L: “NO! last time I trusted you I got captured, and ended up here. Please just leave. I don’t want to talk to you.”

I could see Lilly was crying. I felt so bad for not helping her, for not getting her out sooner. I left to go for a walk to clear my head after everything that just happened. It broke my heart to see her so angry and hurt.
