I felt a strange pit in my gut. I didn’t like it..it felt a lot like doubt. Doubt towards my parents..it made me feel like I couldn’t trust them..and that alone made me nervous.
I sigh and lay back, staring at my ceiling. Just thinking..I needed to run. I needed to think. I changed into my black running leggings and a hoodie and my sneakers. I then grab my sweat towel and head downstairs, waving at the maids and our cleaners as I go. I head down another set of steps, through the movie theater and into the inside Gym.
I don’t know why my dad decided to put a movie theater right in front of the gym..Maybe it was to tempt us into thinking if we really want to work out..? Or maybe it's so we can work out and then come and relax..I really don’t know..
I walk over to the treadmill. Its usually fairly empty, a lot of my packmates prefer to go outside rather than do things here. I mean who wouldn’t..a wolf feels more powerful in its true form and habitat.
After a moment of stretching, I hop on and run in my human form. I needed to get used to running in this form, especially since I’m under house arrest. Within two hours, I was a sweaty, out of breath mess. I sigh, hopping off. Grabbing my towel in the process. As I pat my head down, I reach to grab my water before freezing at the sight of it being gone. “What..” I hissed while looking around for it. “Here you go...” I spin around and tense up at the sight of Anwyll holding my bottled water. My eyes darted down to it before looking back up to meet his eyes. I could tell they were scanning me, even when they were not visibly moving.
I eye him for a moment, How would I tell him..? Especially after telling him I'd help. And if anything, part of me doesn't want me to tell him…
Wait- that’s beside the point!
How the hell did he get in here! “How did you-“
“I’m a vampire..I can get into anything..” he snickered. I glare and he raised a hand defensively. “O-okay fine. I came to you're room but saw you leave..” he quickly mumbled. Hm..serves you right. Still creepy though. I sigh and snatch my bottle from him and take a sip.
Now…I’ll break his neck later for continuing to be a stalker. But for now..how shall I break the news?
“Is..something wrong..? and why do you keep calling me a stalker?”
"because..you followed me home..you been watching me.." I explain calmly. he thought for a moment, before nodding. "true..a good reason to call me one too..but with that being said-" I quickly raised a hand. "O-Ok...hold on..! I was just joking..!" He instantly tensed. "w-what..?" I giggle shyly. "I was just joking...I-I mean sure..you sneaking into my room is so not cool..but even so, sneaking into places is a great ascepcts of vampires..I knew you were following me.." He winced and I just wave it off. "the next time you try showing up like that, I'll rip your hair out.." he winced painfully. "U-Understandable.." we stood in silence for a moment before I knew he had something else to say. he looked away for a second, his face instantly twisting into what looked like pain. “I'd like to apologies..about me hurting you're brother I do apologize-”
“That's not it..” I say softly. “I-I mean I am quite angry with you..but that is not the matter at the moment..”
“Then what is..?” He asked, tilting his head. I squint. “You're…strange..” the corner of his lip tugged into a smile. “Strange..?” I just nod and I take a sip. I walk away to the treadmill only to have him follow. “May I ask how so-”
“No. You may not..But I will tell you anyway..” I insist, putting it on a walk. I step on. He slides to the front of it and leans on it, watching me as I walk. “I tell you to go..in fact I even warn you, yet here you show up. Tom showed up, threatened us. Including you. Told you that I will be the one to grab you at any second, but yet you're here. I tell you to leave yet again but you're still here. A warning from a werewolf should be enough to keep you away.” He pursed his lips and bobbed his head side to side. “True, but you said to come back if I were to have some sort of clue..”
“And do you?”
“I do” I stop in my tracks for a moment before quickly going back to my regular pace. “Y-you do..? Already…?” He nodded and grinned. I found myself eyeing his smile, Dimples..How ironic..my eyes trailed down to his lips..healthy..full..they looked..soft I curse, snapping out of my trance at the feeling of tripping. He quickly grabbed my shoulder and instantly pressed the red button, sending the treadmill to a quick stop to keep me from falling all the way. Only then did I realize that I had accidentally walked a bit too fast, resulting in my foot stepping onto the front of the treadmill, making me lose balance and trip; meaning..I was now inches away from his face.
I froze. Our eyes locked..I couldn’t move, That strange sensation filled my gut..my head..my face..Shit shit shit shit! His face turned a deadly red, the only color that I've seen on him so far. thank god that I was already sweaty and red or he’d seen my face turn even more red.
“I-I’m sorry..” I quickly yanked my eyes away for a split second before continuing my walk, hoping he’d go away. “Its..alright..” He mumbled, his eyes scanning me for a moment before he went back to leaning against the treadmill. After a moment of avoiding his eyes and walking, he let out a soft sigh. “There’s something else going on..isn't there..?” I glance at him for a second.
“Whatever do you mean..? I-I mean after all..I’m talking to a vampire..a species both my brother and father hates..and most of the werewolf community at that..you threatened my brother while choking him..you’re strangely kind to me. you're annoying with you're creepy eyes staring daggers at me..and on top of that, you could be involved in some crazy shit..shit that could probably get me and my family killed..so yes..of course there's something wrong..” I blurt,
“a-and don’t get me wrong…I know I can tap out..but a part of me doesn’t want to..a part of me is sick and tired of all this bullshit and wants to prove to my idiot brother and my father that not all vampires need to be hated.
that…some..I-I’m ranting..” I slow to a stop. He was staring at me again. He blinked and that sent shivers down my spine. I blush again before jumping when I come to the end of the treadmill, I quickly step off to avoid falling to my death. And making a fool of myself.
“My eyes..you find them creepy…?” I wince a little, an embarrassed flush creeped onto my face. “I-I didn’t mean it that way…! I really didn't…” jeez…out of all that the only thing you got out of it was that?? He eyed me before smiling a little, damn his smile.. “It's quite alright..if my eyes make you nervous then I’d be glad to change the way they look..” I flinch a little.
“Oh n-no it's okay..you don’t have to do that..” He shrugs. “I don’t mind..I really don’t..plus..it’ll help me fit in..” I look at him silently. I turn away and take another sip before setting down my bottle and jumping back on. “you're weird..” His lips tugged into another smile. “So..Enya..” I glance at him. “You said you wanted to prove him wrong..have you done so yet?” I eye him for a minute before sighing and going into a full blown sprint.
Anwylls POV
I just stood there, watching her run. As a man I'd assume I'd be staring at her figure as she ran, but all I can feel myself staring at is her face..She’s so..gorgeous I thought to myself. Radiant..unique, She baffles me..she’s so weird. She’s so..open..truthful yet quiet..and quite pretty…I do have so many questions..so many things I wanna know..about her..about myself..why does she sigh so much?..Why does she think differently than the others?..I wanna know why I feel so drawn to her to the point of where I feel all strange and can’t help but think of her.
It can’t be the scar. It just can’t be..no scar or spell would make someone feel like this.
It's rather annoying. “You're strange..” I whisper, watching her run. “How so..” She pants, her eyes flicking down to me every now and then. I draw out a long sigh. “How old are you?” I ask, stretching a bit. “I’m nineteen..turning twenty the day I graduate..why..?” I just shake my head. Hm..one forgets that monster school works differently than humans. For one..humans go for four years. Monsters go for five. Sometimes six depending on the individual. I suppose in this case, she went for six.
“You..what are you..?” I ask, looking her over. She squints looking down at me. “Excuse me..?” I move to her level. “When I first ran into you - you had this energy…” I wave my hand. “This smell..o-or feeling..” I shrug. “You..you're a werewolf..that part I can sense..but there’s something else..” She eyed me. “Something..different…” She pressed the button and it slowed to a stop. She let out a quick sigh and leaned on the railings, crossing her arms as she tried to catch her breath. “W-what..?” I look her up and down. Just taking her in. “you're not a full werewolf..are you?” She stared at me.
She then sighed and stood up, turning to walk away. I panic a little and quickly grab at her hand, stopping her from leaving. “I-I didn’t mean…for it to come off as rude..”
“Well that's extremely rude..mind your own fucking buisness..” She growled, “I know..I’m sorry…” I quickly say. “B-But I just can’t help but wonder…you don’t have to reply..o-or even nod..but I am curious..” I whisper. She eyed me for a moment. “...N-No..I’m not..to be fair I don’t even know what I am..no normal Werewolf has abilities like me and Marca..” She looked away for a moment.
My grip on her hand relaxed, I felt the strings on my heart tug. Know the feeling.. I look her over, noticing her change in mood.
I press my lips together and appear in front of her, causing her to back up a little but - not that it was any good due to the both of us being trapped between the bars of the treadmill.
I softly run my thumb along her knuckles, making her blush and squirm a little. “Well..if it makes you feel better…I think you're beautiful..” Her eyes jerked up to meet mine.
I felt my ears turn red and I looked away for a moment. I look back over to her sighing slowly. “T-thank you..” her eyes darted away quickly. I slowly let go of her hand, noticing her discomfort. I took in a sharp breath and leaned back against the bar. She looked my way and slowly did the same.
“A-Anyway..did you find anything..?” I fix my position while nodding. “You're brother and Tom was right..They are looking for me..I have yet to figure out why…but there was a dude. Can’t quite remember the name but he was meeting with Someone..” she raised a brow and moved to the bench.
She sat down with her legs sprawled on either side. She sighed, picking up her bottle and taking a sip. “Supposedly,” I begin, Leaning against the treadmill. “This guy had paid - or made some deal with some dude to watch over my grave. To make sure that I don’t get out..” she snickered. “Obviously they suck at their job..” i just smirked.
“The other guy would have agreed with that statement. He didn’t seem very happy about my escape..” i sigh, rubbing the side of my jaw, almost as if deep in thought.
After a moment my eyes flicked back her way. She squinted. “What about you..? Did you..find who this Theo guy is?” She jumped as she took another long sip. I watch as she set her bottle down and lean back, drawing out a nervous sigh. “Yes, in fact I did..” I squinted. “Oh..? Is it that bad…”
“Depends on who you ask I guess..” she mumbled. I squint. “According to my dad, this guy named Theo is the real deal..” I fix my position and raised a brow. She nods. “To put it short. He’s not someone you want as an enemy. Extremely dangerous. He’s one of the closest descendants of some vampire called Jure Grando Alilović..” I flinched and tilted his head.
I hesitate to quickly itch the back of my neck. No way! “Jure Grando Alilović?!” She wrinkled her nose a little while narrowing her eyes. “Do you know about him?” I scoffed moving in front of her, moving onto my knees. “Know about him? He’s a literal legend - well..he’s well known to be exact. It’s been said. That 16 years after his death, Jure would wake up from his grave and terrorize the village in which he lived. It was later found that during the night, Jure would go around knocking on doors..” i began. “So?” I mumble eyeing him.
“So..each house he’d knock on, it was later revealed that one person from that house would die within the next few days.” She gaped a little and I grinned and nod. “Mhm..crazy huh..” she blew out. “Something like that..” I just waved it off smiling. “Eh..no worries. Just quit known amongst us vamps..anyway..anything else..?” She nods softly. “Yes..he made it very clear that you do not mess with his things.” I nod. “You don’t anger him or want to cross him.
He is extremely powerful with people who work on the vampire and werewolf committee who I’m assuming also work for him. So to simplify it. You fuck with him and you are fucked.” She nods, pressing her lips together.
I pursed my lips and slowly nods. “W-well..” I began. “That’s..comforting..” I nod in agreement. So, he locked me in some kind of prison and now he’s some Evil being? “Oh and he and my father work together as well as he’s the one who runs the school we’re going to..” why..did I just tell him that? I eyed her silently before nodding. “A school…” I rub my fingers against my palm before clearing my throat.
“Enya..I..” I pause and tilt my head. “They know about you're family..” she paused what she was doing and looked at me. “W-what do you mean..” I take in a slow breath and stand up. “I snuck in..and I heard a lot..” I pause. I Needed to figure out how or what to explain to her without revealing what I thought was too much.
Enya has been nothing but helpful but her brother..I don’t fully trust him yet. Therefore there are some things I don’t trust to explain to her yet. “They have this file..on you and your family. They know about you're father working with Theo, they know about you're father being in some..fight ring..they know you're age, gender and position but that’s about it..” I nod. She sighed deeply and rubbed her jaw a bit before rubbing her hands together.
She was thinking..some would say panicking. I eye her. “What’s the fighting ring?” She looked at me. She then turned her head away and got up. “None of your business” I watch her get back on the treadmill.
I couldn’t help but smirk. “Alright..but there’s something else..” she glanced at me. “You're mother..” I begin. “They said that she wiped it.” She eyed me before turning her full attention to me. Good..”wiped what?” I just shrug. “Beats me. The folder they had, they tried to gain information on you're mother but it was completely empty. They believe she might’ve wiped everything. Made it disappear somehow..” I watch as her eyes slowly trail away. Her eyes narrowed than her brows pushed together. “H-how? That doesn’t make any sense..” I lean back. “What do you mean? You're dad could’ve done it.”
“I-I mean yeah..true..but why?” I just shrug. “I may not remember much, or know much to be exact. But I know how to make enemies. Obviously..” I wave my hand, gesturing to the people back at the weird building. “So my guess, whatever this fight ring thing is, I’m guessing it’s to stop anyone whom he doesn’t want to come around, from coming around. Get where I’m coming at “ she nods softly. “Weird way of saying it but sure. I get it..but it still doesn’t make very much sense..a-at least to me it doesn’t. My parents are rather..open to what they are and can do. Obviously not towards humans but that doesn’t really matter..”
I tilt my head. “How so?” She took a deep breath and leaped onto the bar of the treadmill, sitting on one of them. I just watch silently. She did It with such ease she didn’t dare make one sound. “Well, my parents have two sides. Obviously. And the business they both work with are obviously sketchy in the eyes of normies. One, the school for people like me and you, a school where humans are absolutely forbidden from attending. And for good reasons. That alone is sketchy. They only take people like us.” I turn my head a little. “What makes that so sketchy?” She gave me the ‘are you an idiot’ look.
When I didn’t respond she just scoffed and swung her legs back and forth. “God you’re slow..it’s sketchy because we don’t care who goes in. They could be rich, poor, Royalty, an omega, an alpha, a hunter, etc..they could come from the bottom of someone’s shoe but as long as they’re one of us we welcome them. And with a school as popular and as good looking as it is to begin with, don’t you think it’ll raise eyebrows?” I press my lips together and squint. “I-it’s making a little more sense..” she raised a hand to her head. “F-forget it. I forgot you were practically dead before all this..”
Ouch..”anyway. The point is..!-“
“Enya!” We both jump and look over. I instantly grip the bench and grit my teeth. Oh great. It’s the hating wolf. Marca glared at me and stomped over. I wrinkle my nose at the smell of alcohol. Enya quickly slid down before wincing when Marca yanked her by her arm. I felt my throat rumble with annoyance. I stand up and slide my hands into my front pockets. “Why. Is it here?!” Did this fuck- I take in a careful breath and just watch.
