~RUN!~
*CHRISTINA POV:
"run!" Mum screamed at me through the mind link, I watched in terror as the unfamiliar wolves surrounded my parents,
"both of you! run!" My dad screamed,
"I can't just leave you here!' I screamed back panicking.
"Christina" Ethan thought mournfully "it's over... We have to have to go.. Or they'll kill us"
I turned to Ethan limping slightly on my paw "we can't E.. they're our parents..."
My brothers black wolf huffed,
"Christina Black go now! Do not turn around do not look back.. RUN!" My dad screamed using his Alpha tone, I whimpered and cowered under his order, not being able to break it I turned and ran, Ethan close at my heel.
--------
Neither Ethan or I knew where we were, we had been running non-stop for days past towns and cities never leaving the forest, we had finally reached a small town where the forest was thick with other werewolves scents, we were tired, thirsty and hungry, I didn't argue when Ethan told me we would be staying here.. Not like I really had a choice anyway.
We came across a small house in the middle of the woods I stayed beside a tree as Ethan changed. He walked up to the house naked and climbed through an open window to get us both clothes. I became nervous the second he disappeared from sight.. I didn't trust anyone anymore, and most of I was terrified of any other wolf that wasn't my brother.
I whined nervously as I heard something shatter inside, instantly relaxing when I heard my brothers deep voice,
"ah shit" he cursed before coming into view and climbing out the window. I gave a Wolfie grin to my now fully clothed brother,
"here you go Chrissy, they might be a bit big for you.. But they were the only women's clothes I could find." he said stroking my head,
I growled at him "I am not a dog!" I thought to him,
"actually sis... technically you are a dog" he said chuckling, I growled at him and took the clothes between my teeth stalking off to a nearby tree I changed and pulled on the baggy denim shorts, bra and tank top Ethan had gotten me.
"Thanks" I said coming from behind the tree he was right the clothes were too big they were literally hanging off me,
"lets go find a hotel or something to stay in, I miss the luxury of a bed" Ethan said running a hand through his inky black hair
"agreed" I muttered following Ethan through the clearing and onto the other side of the road.
"So" I said glancing around "do you think they even have a hotel here?"
"Urgh" Ethan growled 'it's okay.. I'll find us somewhere to sleep" he said sighing slightly,
I smiled and linked arms with him "it's okay E I have complete faith in you, I don't really mind if we can't find a hotel, I'll be happy just to sleep in the forest again."
"No" he growled his light brown eyes turning more yellow "I promised mum and dad I'd take care of you!"
I stiffened tears coming fast to my eyes "I know" I whispered "but we can only take things one step at a time."
He smiled down at me and we both walked towards the small information centre,
"hello" I said smiling sweetly at the women who stood behind the desk with wide eyes taking us in,
"werewolf" Ethan thought,
I swallowed hard "I got that thanks" I thought back tensely.
"h-how may I help you both today?" She asked her eyes wide,
"is there a hotel here?" I asked,
"u-um yes just up the road actually, would you like a map?" she asked her voice coming out squeaky,
"yeah" Ethan muttered "because there are so many roads here that we might get lost.."
I dug my elbow into Ethan's ribs "no thank you, we'll be fine but thanks for the offer anyway" I said faking a sweet smile, as we walked away, I heard the door slam close.
"She's going to alert everyone that rouges are in town" Ethan warned quietly,
"oh.. What fun" I muttered sarcastically as we rounded the corner and a small posh looking hotel came into view.
"Hm" Ethan mused "four star hotel... I wonder how they managed that."
I rolled my eyes at him "careful what you say E.. I think all ears and eyes are now watching us very closely... and.. I think we might be staying here for awhile." I said trailing off,
"what!?" he muttered angrily "here!? In a town full of wolves?" he said half shouting,
"yes!" I shouted back, "it's not like we have anywhere else we can go Ethan! We have no one left!" I screamed the tears I'd been holding in for days finally making their way out,
"oh no! Chrissy, I'm sorry.. I didn't mean to.." he trailed off drawing me into a tight hug, I took in deep shaky breaths my tears not stopping.
"I.... it's okay E... We'll be okay.. no one can take you away from me" I said sobbing into his shirt. "I won't let anyway take away the only person I have left" I mumbled taking Ethan's hand and dragging him inside the hotel, I walked up to the reception where the woman was watching us suspiciously, Ethan gave me the credit card he had taped to his leg the past few days.
"So.. Will it be a luxury suite then?" the woman asked searching my eyes,
"ew!" I hissed "he is my brother! My freaking brother! We want a simple room with two beds and a shower!" I said angrily,
her eyes widened "of course, so sorry.. I didn't mean to accuse you of being with him."
"It's fine" I sighed taking the key from her we walked to our room and I unlocked the door.
"Ooh" I squealed running into the room "look they left us a block of chocolate!"
Ethan chuckled "sorry Chrissy.. we can't eat that we don't know who left that there.."
"B-but it's chocolate" I whined,
"Chrissy" he said glaring.
"Okay! Okay it's going in the bin" I muttered throwing the block in the small trash can.
I looked around the small room, the slightly musty carpet seemed welcoming to my bare feet and the two small beds covered in an ugly pattern doona looked so inviting I could've jumped in right there then.
"Alright" I said yawning "I dibs the shower first" I said picking up the fluffy towel from the end of the bed falling over a large sports bag I stared down at it in shock. Pulling the zipper open I grinned at the sight of women's clothes.
"Chrissy stop it, that's someone else's stuff" I raised my eyebrows at him,
"E.. I'm not stealing.. If they left it here they can't want it and who was the one climbing into houses and breaking others belongings?" I asked sweetly.
"You know what.. Chrissy.. You really annoy me.. You need to get dumb or something" he muttered. Rolling my eyes I picked up a letter from inside the bag and opened it,
"-Rouges
looks like that lady told" I muttered,
"we know you're here, lucky for you the Alpha is out of town on business at the moment, be gone before he comes back or face his anger at having, feral werewolves on his land, if you don't know where you are, this is the Sharpe pack our Alpha, Sebastian Sharpe is one of the most feared Alpha's in the country. If you are not gone the second he crosses the border line you must stay here, if you leave we will hunt you!
Get lost-"
"shit!" Ethan cursed again "I've heard about this alpha guy, he's ruthless. The guy has never heard the word mercy before! His pack is one of the strongest, he doesn't run them by fear like you'd think.. He just causes fear in trespassers" he said panicked.
"Ethan stop worrying alright.. we have nowhere else to go and we've already paid for the room for a couple of nights we may as well stay here before we keep moving. look they even got us clothes" I said holding up a shirt with tags still on it.
He sighed "you win again Chris, we'll stay for awhile" he muttered,
"thanks E" I chirped pulling out some clothes and walking to the bathroom.
I glanced at my reflection in the mirror my long brown hair with blonde streaks was messy with twigs and leaves caught in it, my eyes were unlike the blue my wolf had they were light brown and my pale face look flushed and worn.
"Ew" I grumbled pulling all the leaves and twigs from my hair. I got into the shower and let my muscles relax under the hot water. I smiled as I poured hotel shampoo into my hand, scrubbing my hair with it. I washed all the filth from the past few days, the blood on my wrist from where I had been bitten by a wolf a few days before leaving an ugly white puckering scar.
I wrapped the towel around me and sighed in bliss, I pulled the cheap pj's on and walked out of the bathroom towel drying my hair and running what looked like a $2 brush through it. I collapsed in the bed and pulled the covers over me, my body relaxing in the comfort
"Night Ethan" I mumbled, as he slipped into the bathroom,
"night Chrissy, sleep tight little sis" he said softly.
Darkness overcame after that and I fell into a blissful sleep.
----------------------
"CHRISSY! CHRISSY! WAKE UP! CHRISTINA!" Ethan shouted,
I shot up in bed my forehead colliding with Ethan's,
"ow' I moaned falling back onto the bed "what is it?"
"The alpha, he's back in town! We have to leave NOW!" He said his eyes glowing bright yellow.
"Ethan" I pleaded tugging at his arm as he tugged me out of bed "we can't go, the letter said they would hunt us!"
"Yeah" he growled "and you don't think he's not going to kill us anyway!?"
"He might not there's a possibility" I pleaded "look we can run as long as we don't cross their border line.. otherwise we will be dead." I said softly, Ethan nodded and we walked to the window above the kitchen sink. I climbed up on it and pushed the window open I climbed out and landed lightly on the ground Ethan landing next to me.
"How long do you think we can keep away from them?" I asked,
"not long" he whispered "but we can only try.."
"Ethan wait!" I said "they think we're a threat don't they? Why don't we enroll in the local school, they can't seriously think a couple of teenagers are trying to ruin them can they?" I asked.
"Well Chrissy, I'll try anything to stay alive, you never know it might work, you haven't been wrong so far" he said smiling.
"Okay" I said "we'll try that... Later.. Tomorrow maybe but right now we have to run" I said.
SEBASTIAN POV:
I sighed, I had been searching for my mate for years now and there was still no sign of her. I'd been all over the country staring into every girls eyes hoping she would be the one, but nothing.. Nada.. Zilch I'm still the mate less alpha.
My sullen thoughts were cut short by a sharp ringing,
"hello?" I asked,
"hey Seb.. Look we've got trouble here, rouges are in town and it seems they pose a great threat." my beta said,
I growled angrily into the phone.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY POSE A GREAT THREAT!?" I screamed down the phone,
"Seb! Maria came running home crying saying they threatened her life! They said they'd kill her if she didn't give them directions to the hotel!" said my beta angrily.
"Don't do anything until I get there" I growled "I'm going to take care of these rouges on my own!"
I snapped the phone shut and ran into the forest shifting. I ran fast towards my pack's land, growling angrily.
-----
I finally crossed the border line. it was about 7 in the morning I had been running all night and even with in-human speed it still took me forever to get here.
I growled angrily as I smelt two unfamiliar scents, one musky that screamed male and another that smelt of sweet strawberries and vanilla female,
A mated couple?
My wolf whined at that thought,
ugh, what's your problem now? I muttered at him stalking through the woods towards the pack house, I needed to find these rouges and I needed to get rid of them before they could do any damage to my pack.
