“I know people from the Fort Hills Pack, if I can get them to accept you do you promise me you will stop dealing with drugs. There’s a school and a college there so you might even find work, I can ask if you like?” I tell him.
He looks up to me in surprise and a huge smile comes across his face. “Really? You would do that for me?”
“I can try? But you just can’t tell Frankie that I had anything to do with you leaving if they accept you, okay?”
“Thank you so much.” he says as he grabs me in for a hug, he releases me and takes my hand.
“Come with me, I want to show you something that I know will cheer you up.” he pulls me with him and we head out the door toward the woods.
We walk a little while and he’s still holding my hand, we come to a clearing and we end up on a cliff face looking down at the entire town with the full moon right above. The view is spectacular.
“Wow…this is amazing!” I whisper to myself.
“It’s beautiful isn’t it?” he says as he sits on an old tree stump. I sit on the floor next to his legs and enjoy the view.
I reflect on all the things that have happened since I arrived at this town and the recent events including Georgina telling me I’m not her daughter. I don’t understand how she can say that? It doesn’t tie up with what Alex and Johnny have been telling me, have they been lying to me also? Is everyone in on this? And what’s with the whole Drake and Chelsea thing? I knew he was lying when I asked him why he wasn’t wearing underwear and he stumbled with words. I feel so dirty and used by everyone…I feel so betrayed.
I wipe away the tears that fall and lean my head against Greg’s leg. He places his hand on my head and rubs it gently.
I guess we are in the same boat.
He suddenly stiffens beneath me and I watch him as he smells the air, “Rogues!” he says as he jumps up.
Can’t I get a damn break?
“We need to get you out of here NOW.” He says but it’s too late, two large guys fully clothed come out of the bush. Greg pushes me behind him.
“Well Roger look at this pretty thing, do you mind sharing brother? We are just passing through and looking for someone to keep us warm tonight …if you know what I mean.” The one guys chuckles.
“Stay away from her brother. What are you doing on our land?” Greg says.
Roger says, “Billie and I are just passing through like he said, now… hand over the girl or we will take her from you.” he growls.
“I guess you are just going to have to take her from me then.” Greg says as he charges for them punching Roger in the face knocking him to the floor, he goes for Billie but Billie has turned into this raggedy dirty brown wolf and jumps Greg, He bites his leg and Greg yells in pain as he tries kicking the wolf, the wolf goes for Greg’s neck and I scream out. “NO!”
I feel my body burning again and my eyes are probably flaming silver, the anger is flowing through me and all I can picture is ripping the rogues to shreds. The still night now has sudden rough winds that start to blow wildly, I can feel my long hair whipping at my face. The three boys are looking at me with scared looks on their faces; the rogues can feel my anger.
I stare at Roger who is now standing up and staring at me in awe. I focus all this built up energy pulsing through me directly on him and what I would like to do to him. Soon he is writhing in pain on the floor and I can hear his bones breaking but he’s not changing. He clutches his chest over his heart and suddenly he goes quiet and falls down limply. The wolf starts growling at me and starts backtracking but I'm not letting him go that easily, I focus all my hate and anger on him and soon he too is howling in pain on the floor before passing out. I'm not sure how but my body knew what to do and how to focus the energy on the two rouges. The wind immediately dies down and I can feel my heart beating fast with the adrenaline of what I just did pumping throughout my body.
“Y…you k..killed them!” I hear Greg stutter, I run over to him and I see the blood on his leg and a scratch on his neck.
“I couldn’t let them hurt you! I had to do something, I don’t know how I did it but it…it just happened…” I look at the scratch on his neck and raise my hand to touch it. My fingers start shining and the little silver orbs appear and start healing his wounds. I move to his leg and he sits up to watch, I do the same and the orbs heal him too. Soon he is wound free and staring at me in astonishment.
“How..d..did you d..do that?” He stutters.
“I don’t know. I haven’t figured it out yet but you can’t tell anyone, promise me!” I panic.
