"Aren't you going to answer your phone?" Emily asked.Giselle's phone had been ringing ceaselessly."I'm not ready to talk to her now." Giselle said."Who?" Emily asked, confused."Jake's mom." Giselle answered and Emily furrowed her brows."Jake's mom is not my mom." Giselle said after a deep breath."How do you know that? ""Jake told me. We were having an argument about something and it just came out of his mouth. I can't believe she told her son and didn't feel the need to tell me. My dad also kept it from me," Giselle said, and her eyes widened. "This explains why she never gives me the nourishing tea," Giselle said, the last part more to herself. "Nourishing tea? "Emily furrowed her brows. "Yeah." She turned to Emily. "She always gives Jake what looks like a herbal tea, three times a week. She said it'll nourish him, but she would never give me. Tell me Em, I'm I not fit to be nourished?" "My mom gives me a herbal tea too." Emily said, turning to look at Giselle. "She would a
Emily felt like throwing her burger at Elsa but she stopped herself. It was too delicious to let even a single piece go to waste.Giselle pressed her lips thin and wanted to do some lashings, but she stopped her too. She doesn't want to ruin her mood. Giselle and Emily were childhood friends, they went to the same school and they were known to be better in tongue lashing than a physical fight. Most times, they tongue lashed people and go home body lashed. They finished their meal and walked out of Nich's eatery after paying the bills.It was already afternoon and the sun shone without mercy. Her head began to spin and she closed her eyes and held tightly to Giselle's arm, Giselle walked her to the car because even when she opened her eyes she saw nothing, everywhere seemed dark. "Em, are you okay? " Giselle was worried. Emily didn't say anything so she decided to drive her home. When they arrived, the door was locked, Emily handed Giselle the key, her mother had probably gone to work
It was 7:30pm on Friday and Emily had texted Micheal to meet her at the junction, her mother would never let her go to any kind of party... So she told her mother after dinner, that she was tired and she would like to go to bed early.When she got to her room, she started thinking of ways to leave. She thought about using the back door, but she has to go through the kitchen... Bad idea, her mother always stays in the living room till it's 10:30pm to watch her favorite TV show, and there's no way she can walk to the kitchen without her mom seeing her.She paced up and down in her room and her phone buzzed in the back pocket of the sweatpants she was wearing, she pulled it out and Giselle was the one calling.On the phone: "Hey girl, are you prepared? Just arrived at your house now. " Giselle said"Don't come inside, " "Why? ""My mom. She'll get suspicious, I mean, you've never come to visit me by this time of the night. ""I'm coming in. ""No, Gee. Wait-" Giselle hung up on Emily. (
When they made it to the junction, They spotted Michael not far from where they were. He was leaning his back on the car and had his phone to his ear. She brought out her phone to see if she was the one he was trying to call, and then she saw numerous missed calls and text messages from him. He would be so agitated. They walked up to him, and a smile lit up his face immediately, then it changed to a perplexed look. She couldn't blame him; it was the first time he'd seen her dressed more appropriately than her usual old-fashioned clothes."I'm sorry for-" she tried to apologise, but he cut her off."You look amazing." Micheal stared deeply at her, and her cheeks flushed.He opened the door and motioned for her to go in. Emily shook her head as she turned to face Giselle."Go ahead, Em, just text me the address." She didn't want to argue about it, so she just nodded and got in the car.There was an awkward silence throughout the twenty-five minute drive. When they arrived at Micheal's ho
Micheal rushed to Chris, who was kneeling on the ground with his face bowed."Chris, relax," Michael said as he stroked his back. "Take it easy.""Don't tell me to calm down. Why does it have to be this painful? Please, "he groaned. "Make it stop."Chris's bones were fracturing and rearranging into new forms, and he felt like he was being butchered. He would do anything to stop this unbearable pain. He looked down at his hands; hideous claws were stretching out of his fingers. Inside his mouth, his canines ached, like a child growing its first tooth, and he felt an overwhelming urge to bite flesh. When he closed his eyes tightly, and when he opened them, they glowed gold.With force, Chris pushed Michael off of him, and Michael flew across the room, hitting his head against the back wall and crumbling to the floor. Michael reached to touch the back of his head, and his fingers returned covered in blood. His eyes shut as he swam in the ocean of pain.Chris growled, and Micheal opened h
On Monday, it was 6:30 a.m. Michael awoke with a yawn, his arms spread high in the air. He went downstairs and grabbed a beer.Since the transformation, Chris had not returned home. Michael had gone to the woods several times to look for him, but he always returned fatigued and disappointed. Michael drank the beer all the way down to his room. He needed to go to work; he hadn't worked since Chris changed (into a wolf) and vanished. He went to his closet and pulled out a faded blue-jean trouser and a simple coffee-brown T-shirt.*Emily was getting ready for work. Her resumption time was 7:30 a.m. She didn't want to be late, she was fed up with being cooped up at home; she had been grounded. When she returned home from the pool party, her mother was furious.She couldn't even go out with Giselle like they typically did on Saturday. She hadn't left her house in two days, and her work was the only thing that could help her break free from the cage. Emily was in a cab on her way to work.
"Why?!" Michael frowned. "He possesses a dark energy. He's a raven. " The healer clarified and walked away before Michael could respond.Michael was taken aback, his eyes widening in surprise. He couldn't believe Jacob was a raven; he looked great after being bitten by a werewolf, which was unusual, and how could a werewolf healer heal him? "Is everything okay?" Elsa asked after noticing his worried expression. "Uh... Yeah. " Michael swallowed. "I'll go look for Chris." Straightening himself and inspecting his already healed arm, he left.When Michael walked to the woods in search of Chris, he heard footsteps on dry leaves. His eyes darted and he found a stick which he grabbed and placed his back against a large tree, hoping that whatever was approaching wouldn't notice him. He strengthened his grasp on the stick as the foot steps became closer, preparing to attack. With his hold on the stick tightened, he rushed himself out of his hiding place, ready to strike, but he pulled him
As Michael struggled to his feet with a groan, he looked at the deep wound Chris's claw had left in his chest. He imagined his brother would be relieved to be home, to be human again, rather than the other way around.Michael's eyes widened in realization; Chris wouldn't hurt him, except... the transformation had turned on his dark side! Michael cursed inwardly; he knew this would happen. He had to go look for him before he did something evil.Michael stared at his reflection, watching the wound slowly close up. He hurriedly put on a black long-sleeved shirt and exited the room.* When Chris arrived at Nich's eatery some hours later, his eyes searched for Elsa, and immediately he spotted her, he walked up to her, dodging the tables in front of him."What did you do to me?" Chris asked, standing behind Elsa."What did you think I did to you?" Without looking back at the person that spoke, Elsa replied to the question with a question. She walked away from the customers to somewhere mo
