Call to the Wild

There they were, right in front of her... Cool blue eyes, dirty blonde hair styled perfectly, and a debonair smile that could melt any girl's heart. Though that dazzling smile, I could only see evil intent. My body trembled as his hands wrapped tightly around my throat, was this really happening, was I about to die? "All rogue's must die! Their kind are the reason werewolves are still hunted down like dogs! I will hunt down every last one of them until they are all eradicated from this land!" He spat, still grinning with his large pearly white fangs shining. Suddenly another wolf was in the room, I couldn't see him, but I could hear him. Then I smelled him, it was Scott, he was here to save me! Scott grabbed Dylan by his hair and yanked him across the room. I fell to the floor as I tried to breathe again. I was seeing dark cloudy spots still, as I blinked trying to regain my sight, I could hear crashing noises all around me. "Scott!" I screamed out loud. I was desperate to see what was going on. Just then I heard a howl, then I smelled blood. I tried to look up towards the howl that I'd heard, hoping to see my love Scott. Just there across the cottage was Scott, my dear Scott laying on the ground beneath the crazed Alpha Dylan Wilde. "No! No!" I screamed before my throat swelled shut and the tears began to flow. Not my Scott! Nooo! He couldn't be dead! I couldn't bare to live without him. I clutched my stomach as I fell back to the ground. Then the burning began, the fire in my chest that told me my mate was truly gone forever... "Ayla?" My vision was clouded with tears, but I saw the devil looking back over at me. His grin was ear to ear, he stepped through my mate's pooling blood as he took slow careful steps towards me. "Hey! Ayla!" I looked towards the soft voice that was calling me, but the devil was still walking towards me. I was about to die, or worse... I cradled my stomach and whispered. "Just hang on little one." I transformed into a pure white wolf and ran for it. I used all my strength, all my will to jump out a window and into the darkness. "You're all mine now, there's nowhere you can hide Selene!" He called behind me. I continued to run as fast as my legs could take me. Suddenly there was a bright light, the dark starry sky was suddenly a white popcorn ceiling. I sat up looking for the devil, but instead it was my roommate Lisa. The lines across her forehead told me I had been screaming and crying in my sleep again. My pillow was soaked with my tears. My sheet was clawed and torn. Unfortunately this wasn’t uncommon for me. I had slept in too late again, fighting my demons in dreamland, and now I was going to be late for my new job. Why did it have to be a morning shift, why was I punishing myself like this? I pulled myself from the bed and ran into the bathroom. I turned on the hot water then looked at myself in the mirror. My mascara had run down both cheeks, my eyes were red and swollen from crying. My lips were bleeding, I must have been biting them again. I looked terrible! I usually shower before bed, but in true Ayla fashion I procrastinated and now I was rushing through my morning. I jumped into scalding hot shower and nearly screamed from the unintended temperature. I twisted around bearing the heat to turn the handle down a little. I scrubbed my body with my own handmade soap, it smelled like peppermint. My favorite scent. I sold them sometimes to make extra cash. Coming straight from a group home, I had to learn different ways to take care of myself. My roommate Lisa, had left the group home few months ahead of me, luckily she had found a job at a small diner that always needed help. Today was supposed to be a fresh new start, my first day in the real world as an adult. Quickly I rinsed and jumped back out, I wrapped a towel around me and dashed back to my room. I pulled some black leggings on and grabbed a black t-shirt too. I ran the brush threw my hair, ripping through all the messy curls. I looked up into a small mirror on the wall. I didn't mean to always end up in all black, it just kinda happened.. Most of my clothes and belongings came from a thrift store so there weren't too many options. I always managed to find nice simple black pants and shirts though... "Aylaaaaa! We really gotta go now!" Yelled my friend from the door. I new she was standing in the doorway by now cursing my name under her breath. She didn't know I could hear her doing it, it was hard hiding my werewolf abilities at first. They came the year I turned thirteen, at first I thought it was horrible, especially when the dreams started, but now I knew how to control them, mostly.. I flew from my room to the living room where she was standing in the doorway like I'd assumed. She looked upset, but she didn't say a word. "Sorry." I said blushing. I felt bad for getting up late. I always seemed to be making someone upset with me, even my friends.. I knew Lisa understood my problems, but I still needed to be more careful. We headed down the stairs and jumped into Lisa's little green car. It was loud and barely started sometimes but it got her to work and she'd gotten it for just six hundred dollars. Luckily we were just a few minutes from the Diner. Already I could see the pale blue building sitting on the edge of town. I looked down at the clock on the dashboard, it was 5:55 and they opened their doors at 6am. My fresh new start was already going down hill, I was going to be late to my first job ever. And I hadn't even eaten yet. My stomach was growling so fiercely it almost sounded like it was cursing at me...
