Falling for the wolf 118
I half-smiled and got out of the car. Liam drove off into the forest. What is he doing? I went inside, thinking Mom or Dad would be waiting for me, super worried, but I guess Dad is keeping his word to let me fly. I went upstairs and locked the door once I was in my room.I was surprised to see Liam there."You're fast.""I wanted to spend the night with you, Cristine. I'm not going to leave you alone again."Liam hugged me, and I was grateful for it. We both got into bed and cuddled. I felt loved, cherished, and protected. Little by little, the fear started to fade."I'll take care of your dreams."His head massages made me sleepier and sleepier until I finally fell asleep.•The next morning, I opened my eyes slowly. I heard the birds chirping by the window. I looked for Liam beside me, but he was already gone. I knew it, I knew he would leave at dawn. I got up, my head aching a little. There was a note next to me that read:Good morning, sweetheart. I'll pick you up to take you to

"Miss, step back, please!"The wolf growled louder and approached."We're going to shoot!""Don't shoot, please!"I looked at the wolf, who now seemed to realize what was happening. It was cornered. For a moment, I thought it would run away, but no, its demeanor returned to that of an angry wolf, and it advanced towards me.A gunshot.And another."No!"They hit the wolf, but it didn't stop. The wolf ran towards the forest, but it was injured. People applauded the police for hitting it. I ran after it, thinking I must be crazy for doing this, but I couldn't help feeling that the wolf needed me. I ran and ran, following the blood trail until I found it. I saw the wolf lying next to a tree.Tears streamed down my face seeing it in that state. I wasn't afraid at that moment; I just got on my knees next to it. The wolf looked at me, and its ears pinned back."I'm so sorry."It had several bullet wounds and was bleeding a lot. I couldn't help but sob."I'm so sorry."The wolf whined, and I

"At what party?""On the mountain, the highest one. They always throw parties there.""Are there any witnesses who can confirm that information?"I bit my lip, remembering that neither Maia nor Junior made it to the party yesterday. I also didn't see Jeremiah; the only ones who could say they saw me are Monica and Miranda.Great."Liam.""Anyone else?""Uh, yes! T-Theo... Theo W-White.""Anyone else?""Those are the only ones I know.""Alright. One moment, please." The police officer leaves the room, and I'm left alone. From movies, I know that the huge mirror in front of me is a window to another room where they are also watching me.I can't believe Jeremiah is dead, oh my God, what happened to him? My hands are shaking, I feel very anxious. I don't like this place.The officer returns minutes later."We've called Theo White, and he's on his way. You need to give us the names of at least two more people. We need proof, not just words."Whatever."There are two girls that... I had pro

"Eva, come down now please!" Lucas's scream takes me out of my thoughts as I take one last look at my house. My father is a sheriff and has been transferred to Telluride, a town in Colorado. A town of which I know nothing and I know no one. I feel so bad, I feel like I will miss my friends, my classmates. All my life living here and now I'm leaving. I hope to return one day. I took my bags and went downstairs, I have no idea what will happen to this house, I don't know if they will sell it or what, but I will really miss it.I left the house, dad and Lucas were waiting inside the car. Lucas took it easy, too well, I would like to be like him and that things hardly affect me. Or well, pretend they don't. I put the suitcases in the trunk and got in the back seats. I am the youngest in the family, I am sixteen years old. Lucas is seventeen, my older brother. Dad divorced mom many years ago and my mom married another man. They live a bit far."Are you okay, Eve?" Dad asks me as he start

I advanced to the house and finally entered. I saw it: it was big and quite pretty, the light was white and so were the walls, it made the interior of the house very illuminated. Seconds later the music that had previously sounded low became louder, much more.Great, the neighbors have already started their racket.Dad was coming down the stairs."Give me that, Eva, I'll take them to your room. Do you like the house?""Well, it looks good," I answered, giving him the suitcases, "but it seems that tonight we'll be a bit sleepless."Dad stood up and put his hands on his waist as if thoughtful."Yeah, they sure don't know that I'm the new sheriff in town. I'll take a walk around there in a few hours, I don't want to start off on the wrong foot" he took the suitcases and went up the stairs.My mind thought of the howl from a while ago, since we are surrounded by forest I suppose there are wolves like other animals. As long as they don't hang around my house for me, that's fine. On top of

"Now what do you want, Kessler?" Jonny snapped at that boy."I don't remember inviting you to this party," the boy replied, now I know his name is Kessler. "And not her." He look myself."I'm just here for my brother, moron," I snapped, wriggling out of Jonny's grip, feeling awkward.Kessler laughed."Well, well, but the girl has guts" he came dangerously close to me " I like you.""Get off." I pushed him but it didn't help because my strength wasn't enough."Eve! What the hell are you doing here?" Lucas finally appeared in my field of vision. "Let's go" he took my hand and I let myself be carried away by him. Lucas walked me to the back door, I could see dad walking down the sidewalk to this guy's house. I hope they put him in his place."I was looking for you, idiot, Dad would have seen you in there.""What do you think? That I am not aware of my father's steps? I already knew it. I don't like that you arrived just like that. And what were you doing talking to those guys?""Forget

I advanced to the classroom and saw something that scared me. It was one of those poisonous spiders, with its shiny yellow and black body. I had almost forgotten how dangerous this country was. As I thought about what to do, the spider inched toward me, as if it knew how scared I was. I couldn't allow myself to be paralyzed by fear; I had to act fast. I froze because those things scared me, at that moment Kessler appeared and looked at my scared face."What's wrong with you, girl? do spiders scare you?" I nodded and he smiled "don't worry, spiders are not dangerous here, they are not really poisonous. I myself accustomed them to my presence, so you don't have to fear them" Kessler approached the spider and took it in his hand, I moved away from them. He laughed and told me not to hurt him. Now I understood why Kessler wasn't afraid of spiders, but I was still very scared. He took her out the window and I could breathe with relief, I had realized that I had started a normal conversat

"Do you like my brother?" I dared to ask, as her gaze was that of an admirer sighing over her idol. Lottie blushed and hid a smile."I didn't know he was your brother, what a shame," she said, taking a sip of her juice."Don't worry, my brother doesn't have a girlfriend," I winked at her."Now that he's hanging out with the popular crowd, I doubt I stand a chance with him," she sighed.I laughed. "Lucas is an idiot, don't judge him just by his good looks. He's unbearable. If you want, I can help you with him.""Really? Why would you do that?" she asked curiously. Outside, it started raining as if the cold weather wasn't enough."Lottie, I like you even though I've only known you for less than a day. And, to be honest, you're my brother's type.""Who's my type?" Lucas approached the table, carrying his backpack as if he were about to leave."Where are you going?" I asked, sounding like an overprotective mother."The guys invited me to the forest. They said they're having a small gather
