"Ulysses, though?" He shakes his head and pushes me through the same door.
Ulysses pulled me in and said, "Run, he'll be fine, these people have been looking for you for hours, now go run and don't look back, kid." He closes the door, and I leave. If he says that Ulysses will be okay, that's fine.
Just a few houses and I'll be there. There's a small path that leads to the entrance of these woods, where a few houses are. Juana and Jose aren't as wealthy as I am, but they take classes with me because their parents work in the reserve of the woods. The governor lets them do this because this is our greatest pride, even though it's just the woods. When I get to their house, I stop in front of a truck, and when I see the door to their house open, I again duck down. I looked at my watch and saw that it was just after 2 p.m. Nobody was supposed to be home, so I crouched down to the side of the house where this truck belonged. That's when I heard a dog growl.
Why do I turn my head to see a sad Chihuahua? This breed of dog is the most annoying of all time. I try to quiet it down, but it starts barking again. "No, no, no, hush, quiet down" I was looking for a place to hide when I heard a small growl come from my backpack.
The chihuahua ran back into its house, which was strange. I run and hide in a small storage unit for garden tools. I can see them moving around through a small hole. I silently hope they leave, but I'm so close yet so far away. Just as I think they're about to leave, one of them starts to open the storage, no-no-no. The sound of a rifle being loaded can be heard before he can open the door.
"What the hell do you think you are doing on my land?!" When an older woman yells, "Have you seen this girl?" they step back and ask the same thing they did in the kitchen. I don't see what she does, but I hear them walk away, and then I hear her speak again.
"I'll give you one last chance to leave on your own. After that, I won't ask you again." People in the group start to go back.
"We don't mean any harm, madam. the guy stops talking when he hears a gunshot, "Start! Get off my land!" Another shot is heard, and it sounds like someone is running, but I can't tell for sure because I can't see anything.
When I think everything is fine, a woman walks up to the storage room and opens the door. She points the gun at me and raises her other hand to tell me to stand up. I stand up and put my hands up to show that I'm giving up.
"I'm not trying to hurt you, I'm just running away, and the dog almost gave me away." She nods and tells me to walk to the back of her house, where there is a small hole. She points to it and tells me to get on my bottoms. I'm a little confused because I've never seen this side of my best friend before.
"Follow it until you see a small opening. That will be your friend's house. This small hole is to help those in need escape. Don't ask me, ask them when you see them." I nodded and squatted down to drop into the hole.
"Ouch!" I take my bag off and open it. The puppies get out, and I put my bag back on my back. "Go straight, guys!" I tell them, and they walk with me as I crawl to the end.
Smart dogs, seem to understand everything I say. We get to a small hole that is covered by a ball. I push it with my hands and it pops, but I can't get in with my bag. I look at the black-haired puppies, and their eyes are red and wired, which scared me for a second, but I need to get in through that hole right now.
As I talk to the dogs, I sigh. "Can you go in and figure out a way for me to get help?"
They go in and dig the hole bigger so that I can fit. I squeeze into Juana and Jose's basement, walk over to the door and put the metal lock on from my side. I walk back to the broken sofa they have down here and fall asleep face-first on it. I am so tired that when I close my eyes, I fall asleep right away.
Harper's POV
We were finally out of that box, but we shouldn't have run so far from... Where had we been? I can't think of it. I hear my twin brother talk through the mind link as I think about where we were.
"Should we let her go? She is sleeping, so no one will come here to look for her.' I roll my eyes when he asks.
"No, and don't you feel attracted to her? I ask him, and when he looks back at her sleeping body on the couch, his ears go down and he gives me an annoyed look.
"Then you felt the same way?" Grate, I guess we're stuck here, what a mess we've made of things this time.' He replies, "Trust my twin brother to be down for the most stupid reasons."
"You don't want to leave while these poachers are looking for her, and from what we've seen, you're not up in the North.' When I answer him, I hear him grunt, and he shows me his teeth to show how angry he is.
"Calm down, I know you want to get out of here, but we need to think and then act, or think while we act would be best for our survival." He sniffs the air with his snout, which is cute.
I walk up to this girl and smell her hair. It smells like vanilla and salt caramel, and she smells really good. I wonder who she is, how old she is, and if we've met before since I've never seen her before. Cooper jumps on her back and starts to sniff her like a wolf as I try to look at her. One of my ears goes down and I tilt my head at his tracking.
"Do you know where she is or can you smell her?' When I ask him, he gives me that annoyed look again.
Cooper walks down and changes into his human form. I do the same thing. I'm glad she's asleep because if she woke up and saw two teenage boys in the room with her, we would have scarred her for life. When we look around, we find two basketball shorts. They are tight, but they are alright. As we look around, we see that this is definitely a basement full of teenagers, but why are we so hidden?
"Do you know? I think we were drugged and then put in that box. I can't remember who we are or where we're from, but I do remember that you are my brother." When he smiles, I want to hit him right in the mouth.
"That makes two of us. I tried to think but couldn't, it's like a wall. All I know is that I can't leave this girl. She smells like sweet vanilla and salty caramel. Don't you find her irresistible?" I ask my identical twin, who is now starting to smell again. I can't believe I'm related to the same guy who has the same good looks like me.
"I don't smell that. I smell dark chocolate with a hint of cotton candy, and it's making my mouth water. Where is it coming from?" he asks, looking around. "I don't smell that. I smell dark chocolate with a hint of cotton candy. Why me?" I rub my temples with one hand while the other is on my hip.
"Cooper, the girl is making you smell, bro. I don't know why, but we can't just leave her there, because she needs us as much as we need her. If she smells like that, she must be important, and we need to keep her close. It's clear that she doesn't know who we are, but at least we know who we are. We just need to try to remember where our pack is." He gives a nod and rubs his chin.
"Could she be one of us?" I think about it when I look at the girl, but we don't know for sure yet.
"I don't think it's possible, because only our kind smells good, and that includes our mate, but we'll never know until we're old enough. For all we know, she could just be a member of our pack and nothing more. Let's take it one step at a time. Do you agree?" He gives a reluctant nod.
"Sure, if you're willing to wait six years to find out. As of today, we are only twelve. Who knows what will happen, but you are right that this sentence is not very common. Do you think she will freak out when she sees us?" When he asks me a question, I nod. Then we hear footsteps coming down the hill, and we both change back to our wolves.
As I change into Conner, I see Harvey, my brother's wolf, go up to the girl and lay down next to her as if he were sleeping. I go to wake her up because I can hear noises getting closer.
When I wake up and the dogs shake my shoulders to get me to open the door, I realize I'm in the basement. I feel out of it, tired and sore from all the running and carrying the bike and the dogs on my back. When Juana yells from the other side of the door, I feel like I'm going to fall over. "Open up, chick, I have food!"That is the thing that has pushed me the most so far. When I get up, the dogs look sad. I try to talk, but it hurts to even try. Instead, I open the door, and when I see her, I ask her to wail and take the bag she is holding. "Do you sell items for dogs?" The dogs behind me are growling at what I'm saying.I turn around to see that they are angry about what I asked, and when I hear Juana gasp and go back to the kitchen, I raise my eyebrows and ask, "What did I say?" When I got back to the basement, I sat down on the same sofa and started to eat my whopper. Then I looked down and saw that I had broken my new nails. Juana comes with two huge bowls full of stake as she
When I was dreaming, I felt so free from the hell I had to go through for years because of my parents. I only wished this escape from the real world would last forever, because I don't want to fall for either of them, I don’t want to go back, ever.Getting up drowsy, I could have sworn I was hearing my mother's voice.*Chika, we need to go.* her high raspy voice would shoult at me when I wasn’t next to her the second she decided to leave without telling me.It was the same voice, the same one she would usually use use before she blew a whistle to tell me to run away from her and her gunmen. That was my mother's game, her favorite thing to do, and one of my worst memories that hunt me, running from her and remembering how her smile was real as my horror face of her men would shoot at me as I ran."CHIKA!" I wake up when I hear Juana scream, now realizing it was her."Huh? Huh?" I move to her as I asked I see Juana, she put the two puppies in a different bag and gave it to Jose while I
Cooper POV I'm going to go crazy if I have to stay in this space. Looking at how there's a small light, at least I can see what's going on, but being in one box and Harper being in another is just great, I roll my eyes at this. At least on the other box, we were together, but this is ridiculous until I feel the car stop and hear something small being thrown, I thought a bullet was shot, but I didn't hear anything that could have meant a gun was fired."What did you hear?’ The more I hear about Harper, the more nervous I get."Yes, was it a quiet gun or a simple shot from a sniper? Could it have come from far away? He starts asking a million questions, and I'm already getting bored until we both hear a howl.Close to us, it sounded more like an announcement or a warning. Till I smell other wolves, my ears perk up from this. Is it possible that our pack is looking for us? I ask my twin right away."I think we're being chased twice,’ he said. ‘If I heard right, the sound came from the d
Harper's POV Prophecy? Isn't that what they're seeking in these times? Us? I'm having trouble recalling how we wound up in that box, and I'm fairly positive it was Cooper's fault; if his head was in the proper location with his head that's glued to it, none of this nonsense would have occurred. 'Cooper, what did you do, I vow to the heavens above?' I mentally connect with my twin, who is visibly surprised. 'I swear on my black hairy ass that I have no clue, but I am certain that I did not do anything to have that label placed on us. '" I rolled my eyes at his show of not taking this seriously as he reacted cockily with his pathetic joke. "What the heck are they talking about, those guys?" Whatever we need to get out of here, Jose says as he begins to crawl backward on his arms and knees. He glances behind him as we gaze ahead; they seem to have split up, one on my side following the road and the other on the other. I growl at Cooper and bite his ear as soon as I see them far enoug
I shifted into my wolf and concealed myself in some bushes. Dang, it, I was so near, I kept low in the darkest part of this bush gazing straight where Cooper was coming out of the river, suddenly I saw him going out but towards the city, good he departed to the city.Shit, the hunter tosses a little ball, a grenade with wolfbane as smoke. When the same wolf knocks me down, his bite goes directly for my arm, ripping a piece out of me, I try not to yell, and instead, another hunter smacks me with his baton. If I don't get out of this situation, I'm doomed.I'm being forced down to the ground by the officer and the hunter, when I notice a lady holding a pistol and darts in her other hand, loading the rifle. She has a terrible grin on her face. What caught me by surprise was how much the woman resembled me of Chika.Chika POVI couldn't stop thinking about what the doctor and social worker had concluded: that I would be placed in an orphanage. Were they crazy? I won't be with anybody I kn
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAI shiver when I see we've come to a halt next to a dilapidated hotel; it has some window holes covered by wood, the paint is all chipped to the point of appearing beaten up, and it's wonderful. I yell at the person who is attempting to exit the vehicle, but the driver who departed immediately after stopping the vehicle opens the door, causing him to flee. What a cowerd."Who the heck are you?" says the narrator. My red eyes are a dead giveaway that I am not a regular wolf, he yells from the exterior of the vehicle, and that has to change, if only I could have my blue human eyes instead.'We can try, but when will I be able to make my own decisions?' Harvey, my wolf, asks me a question to which I have no response. If it were up to me, I would just assume complete c
"Wake up!" exclaims the narrator. I hear a lady screaming at me; is she the same person who just handed me the knife? I sigh as I realize I was reliving an old experience, why is it that I can't be allowed to die, there's nothing for me as I open my eyes, it's back to the misery I need to maintain, is it even worth it? When I finally open my eyes to see the ruined ceiling paint, I turn around and find the dog from earlier on my side, who gives me a sorrowful grin as he growls at someone besides me. "Calm down, I won't hurt her; she is, after all, under my care. Chamika, how are you?" The director inquires, his voice hoarse, from what I recall. Did animal control try to catch him? Turning my head to get a closer look, the dog has a ketch and release pole. The director tries to speak again, but this time I hear a woman speak in his place. I move my hand, which feels like it has a hole burnt straight through it, and when I glance down, I see a hand cast. "How are you feeling, Chamika?
"You're not the one who's the most obstinate of the two, are you?" I can't seem to stop wondering about who she might be, says the lady who looks like Chicka."You're no fun, but I don't believe you're the other pup, the one with the red eyes," she continues, and I wonder whether my wolf gave me my blue eyes on purpose.I don't give up trying to get out of this; I know this woman isn't chicka, but something about her demeanor is unsettling in every way; I despise this feeling; the two guys hold my arm and neck, and when they think they have me tight and secure, I allow Conner to give me his strength; I overthrow them, using one of them as a shield against her shots; I push him on her; she falls back from my sudden action.If I don't get some shots, I'll be recognized as the insane naked boy riding a female's bike! That would be the cherry on top of my existence, a werewolf pup being mocked by humans for riding a female bike naked. Gods, why me? I'm not going to show that crazy girl wh
