Amelia's povIts yellow eyes locked onto mine, the growls cutting through the cold still night sharply. Panic surged into a knot in my stomach and my heart skipped many beats of fear as I backed up. Every little voice in my head pushed me to run but I find myself rooted where I stood helplessly as the wolf took a thundering step forward, shaking its fur. As I stared at the massive wolf in shocked silence I can't help but be confused by its mere size. I had never seen a wolf this huge before. Not that I had seen them up close but I would have never thought they'd be this huge. It snarls, warning me that it didn't come here to be friendly. As my heart rate spiked, I took a step back, willing my legs to listen and run. But what would that do? With this beast massive size and the power those legs looked like they had, I would never be able to outrun this thing. And I was not stupid to try. I looked around the empty street, praying someone would help or I could get at least a weapon to
Amelia's pov" Wait up!" Foster's strained voice yelled behind me as he close the door and runs up to catch up with me. He gives me a sheepish smile. " I can't have you walk into the wolves den alone. Not with all of them here."I nod, smiling a bit as I don't bother to knock and opened the door. Instantly I am hit with the scent of alcohol and something else I couldn't put my finger on. The music is louder too and the teenagers around seem so out of it that they don't notice our presence. Which was good." Should we spread out?" Foster suggested as he looked around the room nervously. Spreading out would make us find Pickett faster. " Yes." Foster and I split up and I scan the area. I'm to stay downstairs while he searches for her upstairs.The scene around me is nothing but a blur of neon lights, staggering teenagers who laughed way too loud and pounding music that makes me regret not bringing something to block my poor eardrums.I moved deeper into the house, keeping my eyes traine
Amelia's povI am paralyzed. Completely fucking paralyzed as I watch her body sink into the water down below. The air had left my lungs and my heart, I wasn't sure where it had gone actually.The sound of the impact alone was terrifying. The quietness around as Pickett's body plunge into the water made my blood boil. None had done anything to help her or stop Dayna.My body finally kicked into action and I sprint toward the pool, my heart pounding as I noticed Pickett had not emerged out of the water yet or try to."Oh look, Miss super hero to the rescue!" I can hear Dayna's shrill voice sharply through the air and I ignore her.Every step felt like it took forever until I get there, my heart hammering so loud I can't seem to hear anything else. I dove right in without a second thought, my legs kicking to reach the bottom where I could see her arms flailing around to breach the surface.As the cold water wrapped around me, the world under water turned into nothing but silent chaos. My
Amelia's pov"Where were you?" I asked Foster as I settle beside Pickett in the backseat. She wanted me there with her, scared of being alone. I held her tight as she trembles and sniffles."Those bastards locked me in the bathroom when I saw Pickett." He ground out, the tension in his voice telling me that he was very upset." I told you to call me right away if you found her Foster." I sighed, rubbing my hand down Pickett's arm to warm her up."I couldn't, they took my phone and didn't give it back." He slammed his hand on his horn and it blared, making a very wild Pickett jump. I grab her, reminding her that she was out of the water and was okay."I'll get the phone back tomorrow, let's get Pickett home." I whispered. Foster nodded and started the car and Pickett clung to me like I was her lifeline. I couldn't help but be filled with rage as I remember what happened.Dayna was a bitch but I hadn't thought she'd go this low. Something could have gone terribly wrong tonight. And Raid
Amelia's pov"Amelia," dad sighed for what felt like the fiftieth time. I wouldn't be surprised if it actually was."See you at home." I told him and got out, closing the door behind me and jogging up to the entrance of the school.I looked back when I heard him driving off. Guilt bit at me. I perhaps shouldn't have said those words, but I can't help but feel as if he wanted to get Raiden and I on friendly terms for his own selfish gains."Oh finally you're here," I turned around when I heard Foster's voice. His entire face e is sweaty and he looks exhausted."What the hell happened to you?" I whipped out of my mouth as soon as he grabbed my arm and pulled me into the building."Couldn't call you because I still have not been given my phone back by that bitch," he grumbled, skillfully moving around the students and tugging me along with him."Pickett locked herself in the locker room and will not get out," he said in one breath . "I've tried talking to her but she's panicking. Everyon
Amelia's povIt's lunch time and Foster and I were on the line waiting to get our trays filled when I spotted a familiar head.My grip on the tray turned brutal as I glared at him and then I saw her, her arms around his, her body plastered so close as they walked toward the lunch table set in the middle of the room.Anger surged through me and my grip on the tray become almost lethal. She's giggling, rubbing against his arm, saying something with her mouth. Her actions infuriate me to the point I am blinded by rage."Hey, where are you going?" Foster's surprised voice made me realize that I had given him my tray and was making my way over to the couple. It seems he had noticed my line of vision because he utters the word, shit and fuck.The clatter of trays and chatter of the students around blurs into nothing but silence for me as I focus on the two seated like a king and queen on their throne. The little distance between them irritates me and I grow more vexed when Raiden spots me.
Amelia's povI'm breathing heavily as adrenaline course through my veins. Her loud shriek had pierced through the noise around and now silence has consumed the room.The sticky pink substance cling to her like a second skin, making her look ridiculous. I refrain from looking beside her at Raiden, but from my peripheral vision I can see him reaching out for a tissue to clean himself up.Somehow I hated that he didn't seem fazed and that only fed my anger."Are you out of your goddamn mind bitch!?" Dayna shrieked. A little louder and she'll have the roof come down on us.I tilt my head and stared at her with a grin. "What's the matter Pink? Don't like when you get a taste of your own medicine?" I taunted and lose the grin off my face as I become serious."You like to play games?" I whispered, leaning closer. I knew my voice can be heard across the room since it was drowned with silence as everyone place their attention on us."Me too," I said low, my tone straining with fury. "But the d
Amelia's povThe first brush of his lips on mine felt so good that my toes curled and my body instantly melt into his. The chaos in my mind quieted down, and the storm disappeared.I should have pushed him away then. But I am rooted, completely under his spell.His hands cup my face, pulling me closer as he tilt his head in a way and pushed his tongue passed his lips to brush between mine. He's asking for entrance to take things further.And I give it to him happily. Spreading my lips and sighing when his tongue pushes into my mouth. He groaned, one of his hand leaving my face to wrap around my waist and pull me even closer while the other slide down my neck to grip it. My heart pound. Tingles race up my spine and spread out my body like a wildfire.He tilted my head back, grunting as his lips rolled against mine in a sweet dance. For once in my life, I give control to someone else, I let him take the reins. Butterflies flap their wings wildly up my ribcage.He pushes me back and my b
