Travis' words hung in the air. He finally turned to the girl sitting next to him and looked at her.“I am very afraid of losing myself,” he said. “I know that everything I said sounds like a complete psycho, but it really happened ... And I'm also afraid to do something at a time when ... When I'm not a person. And last night I got to know you. My consciousness returned to me. I don't know why, but you helped me come to my senses. And I want you to help me in the future. I have to learn to control what happens.- But how can I help you? Samantha spoke up. Her voice trembled against her will.- Just be there when things happen.Sammy stared fearfully at the boy next to her. Is he joking?"You're going to kill me," she choked out."I didn't kill you last night," Travis said quietly. There was something in his blue eyes that made Samantha's heart clench. I didn't mean to attack. For some reason I was drawn to you ... I can’t explain. You ran, I ran after. Then you fell, and I sat next to
123FORWARDPart 6-1.The next morning, Sammy woke up in the same all-consuming excitement that she had fallen asleep the day before, but, nevertheless, thoughts fit neatly in her head. What Doyle told her could not be accepted and understood with a half kick, but Samantha decided not to worry ahead of time and just watch what was happening.The first thing to do was decide what to say to him. Sammy really didn't want to get involved with Travis because she didn't trust him one iota. However, what happened in the night forest did not want to fit into the framework of the understandable and reasonable, and Sammy did not like understatement. She had to complete this story.Going to school, the girl found the strength to chat with her parents as if nothing had happened, and the usual things calmed her down and gave her confidence.However, when Samantha caught sight of her own ill-fated essay, her mood deteriorated rather badly. In the evening, the state of mind was not conducive to stud
When it was finally time for the big change, she was ready to kill Travis herself with her own hands. After wandering around the dining room building, Sammy did not meet him, and had already decided to send Doyle to hell when her phone rang.She did not save his number, but she found out, because he had written to her the day before.- Doyle, is that you? said Samantha coldly, answering the call.“I am,” came the answer, but somehow muffled. - Come to the parking lot, to my car.- And why not ... - began, it was, Sammy, but Doyle had already passed out. Cursing under her breath, she tossed her phone into her backpack and headed for the parking lot, determined to tell Doyle what she thought of him.From irritation, she did not immediately find his car, but there was no one near the jeep. Looks like Travis was waiting for her inside again. Sammy gritted her teeth and pressed the handle of the back door, pulling it towards her.Doyle was indeed sitting in the car - through a veil of ange
After class, Samantha broke down and went looking for Jasper. She found a friend in the company of a friend, Nate, and even rejoiced at this - if they were alone, Sammy would never be able to restrain herself and tell Jas the truth. The truth about what's bothering her. But Nate couldn't do that, so Jasper would still think of her as a normal person for a while.A friend slapped her on the palm and sat her down on the concrete railing next to her. Nate, as always, made a face at the sight of Sammy, but she was genuinely glad to see both of them.- How are you? Jasper asked. - You weren't seen today.- Yes, I ... Was busy at a big break, - Samantha said, dangling her legs."I understand," Jas said. “Heard you and Leah had a fight?” Can you tell me what happened?- Straight news of the day ... - Sammy muttered. – Yes, only… Not now. I don't want to talk about it yet."Of course," her friend nodded. - As you say. And I also heard that Travis Doyle has been fighting for the second day bec
For some time they just walked side by side in silence, each thinking about his own. Samantha did not quite understand what Travis was going to show her, because, as she understood, these terrible transformations happened to him only at night. She furtively glanced at the guy, still not completely believing that he really was a werewolf.Saying this word to herself, she shuddered. From childhood, Sammy was frightened by stories about werewolves, she herself did not understand why. And how did it happen that she had to face this in real life ...But maybe not everything is so scary? Maybe Travis is imagining everything, and his trembling and other incomprehensible, at first glance, things that Samantha observed can be quite explained from a logical point of view. With a stretch, of course.- What are you thinking about? Doyle interrupted her thoughts.Samantha gave him a quick glance.“About you,” she said. – More precisely, about what is happening to you.- And what did you think? Tra
Morning greeted the girl with excitement and a feeling of regret. Sammy spent an almost sleepless night, she imagined Travis, then the wolf, then Leah, and they all looked at her with reproach and condemnation. Even after the haze of the night had faded, Samantha still felt uneasy.Looks like she went too far with what she said to Doyle the day before. Samantha told herself that he asked for it, and his jokes also crossed all boundaries, but she was gnawed from the inside by the way he reacted to her words - as if she had hit on the most painful place. Apparently, that's how it was.Sammy didn't really know what to do with it. Go ask for an apology? Unthinkable! After what Doyle had said to her in the car, Samantha wouldn't even be able to approach him, let alone speak. Forget about everything and move on? Perhaps. But how to sleep at night, knowing what is happening to him? Sammy did not understand how she could help him, but then, in his car, she saw that Travis felt better in her p
However, neither this recess nor the next did she succeed in finding Doyle. In a state close to despair, Sammy stumbled upon his friend Zach Shannon. He looked at her suspiciously - he seemed to understand that something strange was going on between her and her friend. While Samantha was gathering her courage to say something, Zach walked by, and then she realized that she could not miss the moment - Shannon was alone.- Zach! she called out to him, and he immediately turned around. Sammy stepped closer, looking up at him - he was very tall, almost two meters tall. - Do you know where Travis is?Zak looked at her with his big green eyes.“I know,” he replied. - Are you looking for him?"Well, if I ask you," Sammy frowned. - So you tell me?"Actually, I don't know," Zach chuckled, and Samantha almost smacked him on the shoulder."I see, thanks for the help," she gritted and turned away, but stopped when she heard him say:- He seemed to feel bad, he went home. Where he is now, I really
The path was really wide and clearly visible through the trees. But, left alone in the forest, Samantha shivered from a sense of anxiety and fear. What if she was late and Travis had already… turned?And she again one on one with the wolf?Doyle wouldn't hurt her, he promised. So Sammy comforted herself as she walked deeper into the woods. Silence surrounded her, broken only by the rustling of leaves and the singing of birds, and she might have been fine if not for what was happening with Travis. Most of all she wanted to find him and make sure everything was all right. Although there was little hope for this.Samantha reached the end of the path, which was lost in the thicket, but found no trace of Travis. She did not find the clearing that he showed her - apparently, she had to leave the path to get to it. But where to go?This time, Sammy's phone was with her, and there was a GPS and a navigator. She was not afraid to get lost, and therefore boldly stepped into the thicket, confide
