Hey everyone

As you've noticed I'm uploading in batch chapters. This is mainly because when I started writing this I wasn't expecting to upload it at first until I saw all the other fabulous original fiction on wattpad. So I already had a few chapters ready when I first uploaded. Might as well keep up the batch thing going. The first part was kind of an intro I guess. I put these three together because they're closely knit and are working up to the big confrontation.

I hope you guys enjoy reading as much as I enjoy writing it :D
Out of curiosity, who's your fave character so far?


If you like it pls vote for it and recommend this to your friends :)
Also pls give feedback and comments and critique
Once again, thank you to everyone who's enjoying this...

Chapter 9

When I woke up that morning, Dinah and Alex had already gone downstairs for breakfast. I joined them after taking another bath since I was kind of covered in crumbs and there was still some meat on my face. The house seemed totally empty and quieter than last night. As I entered the dining room, I felt something watching me. I looked across the room and saw nothing but Dinah and Alex chowing down on some bacon and eggs. Dinah turned to see me and stretched her face in a broad grin. She looked past me and her eyes widened.

Shock coursed through me as I turned and felt something smack on my chest, taking the breath out of me. Was I being attacked? Where did that thought come from? I worked hard to regain my balance and failed. I lay sprawled on the floor, my eyes closed; hoping whatever it is would make it quick. I heard their chortling and had the strength to open my eyes. Gah! Ruby was sitting on my chest. It would've been cute it if I wasn't so annoyed right now.

"So that's why it felt furry," I mumbled to myself.
"You should've seen the look on your face," Dinah said, still chortling. I removed the dog from my chest and joined them for some breakfast, munching down on some bacon and eggs.
"Where's your family?" I asked Alex, trying to make conversation.
"Clara's still sleeping and my parents are going out of town to meet with some more business associates," he said in a bitter tone.

I kind of pitied him. I guess there was some truth to those rich boy stories. The parents were always too busy to spend time with their kids. I didn't envy him, though a new car would be nice. I wondered what it was like for him growing up. Clara said he was allowed to study in a normal school, meaning either he studied in some academy before or was homeschooled. I tried to remember Clara's rant that night and pitied this family. Granted, I would never consider myself son of the year, at least I knew my parents loved me enough to protect me.

We briefly chatted through the meal and spent the rest of the morning trying to potty train Ruby, since Dinah pointed out there were strange stains in my clothes. We were due to go home later in the afternoon. I felt like a kid hoping to get a glimpse of the most popular toy at the time as I waited for Clara to make an appearance. She didn't in the morning, neither in lunch. I guess she was more tired than I thought.

"Hey, I didn't see you last night. You guys just disappeared from the party," Alex said while we were teaching the cute little puppy how to stand on her hind legs. In her favor, she was a real fast learner. She got most of the basics in one or two tries.
"Didn't Dinah tell you?" I asked confused. I thought they'd already talked about it before I arrived.
"No, actually, I was waiting for you. I wanted you to fill in the gaps since I can't remember some of it. You didn't bring it up last night so I didn't either," Dinah said innocently.
"Basically," she began, turning to Alex, "we got lost in the woods. Ruby here ran off, and we chased after her. Have you gone out there at night? It's really creepy. Anyway, these wolves were hunting as I think. Then we ran and ran and the idiot here," she bumped me hard, "only just realized he had a flashlight on him. We ran into this old shack and the nice family there gave us a ride home. Did I miss anything?" Dinah asked.
"Ruby was with the family in case you were wondering," I said to Alex. "And Dinah didn't mention the cute boy that lived there."
"You really think he was cute? I thought so too," she interrupted hurriedly.
"Anyway," I continued, "I think it was just one wolf."
"Oh yeah," Dinah amended, "but did you see how big it was? I think those eyes were just my height."
