Speak Out Loud

Chapter 2: Blood Red

Hey I think i may of confused afew people when it came to the whole school parental thing, let me smooth it out, Shannon's parents and Jades step parents were close friends not jades acual mother, and Jade got picked up by whom, if you ask it was her step parents because it was compulsery for the children to go home after a camp for the weekend. I hope that sorts it out an Please Please keep commenting <3

****************************************************************

Jade was shaking, her safe place was bloody and red she didnt want to know who that body belonged to but she stood strong and crept forward surveying the scence shakily. She forced herself to look at the body and breathed a huge sigh of relief, it was an animal, a wolf at that but one thing that Jade questioned was how that much blood could come from one animal, unless there was some pack fight.

She herd the slightest wimper and wipped her head around. There was a silvery wolf shaded by some trees, and mostly of what you could see were the stunning blue eyes, Jade assumed it was female just because of the fragility to it.

Since she could walk Jade had never liked to see animals in pain, when she was five and found a squashed snail on the sidewalk she would try and glue its shell back on, she did many insane things to help animals when she was younger and that was a trait that continued into her teen years.

The wolf dragged itself into the clearing staring at Jade, as if entering her very soul. Jade had hardly any idea what to do, the first thing she thougth of was to soak her cardigan in the stream and try clean up the wolf.

She touched the wolf with the cardigan, it flinched but made no move to attack

"Stop" said a voice that seemed to fill the clearing

"who-whos there, show yourself" asked Jade petrified

"I am here, do not touch me, for my time is up" Jade realised the voice was coming from her head

but as Jade turned around slowly she realised that it was the wolf speaking to her through her mind

"Take my soul and do good, you are the one" was the wolfs reply letting a sigh escape its lips and it slowly closed its eyes, gone to the world.

"No, dont go! what do you mean come back" Jade practically screamed at the wolf, she was absolutely freaked out. she was going hysterical as a feeling overtook her, she felt faint and the last thing she herd was someone rushing into the clearing speaking to her

"Jade, what was all that screaming are you ok, Oh my God, Jade dont faint" James Travis voice faded slowly  as she fell into a dark black hole.

a hand shook her arm "just a minute shannon, I'll get up, five more minutes" she said waving her hand in a "go away" guesture. The hand was persistent and kept shaking her, finally she opend her eyes to see James Travis staring down at her.

this woke her up extremely fast "I, uh, i um" Jade seemed lost for words why she was in his dorm. "Jade its ok, I found you fainted in the forest yesterday and i have no idea where your dorm is so i had to take you to mine" wait did he just say i was in his DORM, i tried not to show my exitment show on my face and so i contunued the conversation "oh, thanks i never fainted at the sight of blood before that was strange"

"can i ask you something" he queried seriously

Omg this is it he's going to declare his love for me, oh my god

"yeah, sure" i said preparing myself

"did anything strange happen with the wolf?" what, did he just ask about the wolf, i think my face fell a bit and i hoped he didnt notice

"uh no, i just found it dead" i said, I mean what was i going to say "oh yeah it just started talking to me" like i'd say that he would think i was a complete freak

"ok, thats good" he said trying to mask his relief, hmm maybe he thought i was hurt and just wanted to know if i was ok, awesome.

The room suddenly lapsed into awkward silence, I started to speak at the same time as him "no you first" i guestured

"i just want to say,  i really ment what i said yesterday, your stunning" he said

I started to say thankyou but he put a finger over my lips "shhh" he wispered, then he kissed me on the lips, i almost killed myself blushing, finally i calmed down, going with the rythm of his kisses.
