Sharlynn's POV
Dean looked at me and I at him then I started laughing, did he really think that I would believe that whole " I was there " crap? He's barely even eighteen and he's talking about being present at something that probably took place centuries ago.
I wiped tears from my eyes and smiled in ecstasy at how much that cracked me up but when I looked at Dean and then and Kyle, they looked so serious that I thought I offended them.
" What?" I asked Dean and he cleared his throat and shifted uncomfortably on the bed.
" I think he's telling the truth Lynn" he said and I scoffed.
" Oh please! He's barely even eighteen - the oldest he can be is nineteen and that's just me being generous with my guessing. How could he have been there when he wasn't even born."
" Maybe if you'd shut up, sit down on your bed and let me tell you the story then you'd get it" Kyle said with that annoying smile that made him seem like he was kidding but a vo
Darren opened his eyes and groaned in pain as he felt chains on his arms and legs. He was in his room, so he wondered who would chain him. He closed his eyes and he saw himself as a vampire hunting down Sharlynn and his eyes flew open again as realization hit him, he tried to kill Sharlynn right after killing countless numbers of young women and piling them in a heap.He heard footsteps and looked in the direction of his door that was flung by his sister's clumsy magic." Meredith, unchain me right now!" He said angrily but she jolted from him. Her action made him remember what he did to her the previous night, he knocked her to the ground and tried to feed on her until she cast a spell on him - not just any spell - one that was meant to kill him!If she hadn't been his family, he would've died! He looked at her and noticed the band-aid wrapped on her forehead and clenched his jaw in regret." I'm sorry" he finally said but she said nothing.
Darren was mortified as he watched Sharlynn's face become pale. He knew he shouldn't have come to school, now the girl he's crazy about has just found him in his bloodthirsty state yet again. " Darren, did you kill the deer?" She asked simply, her expression was blank but he still felt she was afraid of him. He wiped his mouth clean and walked away from the spot where the deer laid on the ground with Sharlynn following him. He turned around and stared at her because he couldn't understand why she was following him instead of running. " What are you doing?" He asked and she folded her arms and said, " I want to know if you killed the deer, that's all." " I did, I thought it was better than killing actual humans, but it only made me feel like more of a monster - and I already know that's what you think of me so just spare me the talk." He said as he waved her dismissively and started to head
" What?!" Darren and Sharlynn said in astonishment. Sharlynn was now on her feet and so was Darren." Thinks about it, you both got attracted to each other the second you saw each other. I mean, Ricky-Shawn probably sensed it maybe that's why he beat you up that day."" No, it's normal for two people to instantly get attracted to each other. It doesn't mean anything!" Sharlynn said, laughing nervously." Then how do you explain the fact that you're not bleeding right now Sharlynn, or that you enjoyed him biting you so much instead of being in pain - or the fact that you've completely healed and the only mark on your neck is a triangle-shaped... don't know - thingy!" Meredith explained excitedly and they both looked at each other." You're even literally knotted together." She giggled and Darren noticed that they were holding hands but he didn't remove his hands from hers." What exactly does bei
Sharlynn stood in front of the largest building she had ever seen in Hollow hills and wondered if she was in the right place. She didn't think that Kyle lived there, he didn't strike her as the extremely rich type even though he had the pride for it.She touched the thick iron Gates and saw strange inscriptions on it along with subtle illustrations of wolves on the gate. If there were werewolf drawings on the gate, then she might be wrong about Kyle not living there.She sighed and looked at the address Mr. Gerard gave her and checked for the umpteenth time if it matched with the address she saw in front of the building before she put it in her bag and reached out her hand to ring the doorbell outside the gate." Who is it?" A female voice said and she replied, " Umm... I'm Sharlynn. I think a man - I mean, a guy brought my family here. I was told to come here for them."Without any further response the gates opened
Later that night after Sharlynn's mom came back from the hospital where she'd been working, Sharlynn thought about how she would tell her mom that she was going to a party. After thinking long and hard about it, she decided she would just dress up for the party, and then when her mom sees how psyched she is to attend the party she would let her go.The thought of opening her closet made her unhappy because her clothes weren't much anymore. Just the ones her parents were able to save from the fire were on her bed and she felt weird putting very few clothes in the closet because it looked three times larger than her old one. It would only make her lack of clothes more obvious." What am I going to do now?" She said as she sat on her bed and covered her face in her palms. Darren had invited her to the party and she felt awful that she couldn't go because her clothes were probably ashes." I'll have to call him and say I can't go." She concluded an
The atmosphere was so tense as Darren drove Sharlynn to the Ridge residence. She was so pissed at Ricky-Shawn that she felt a murderous intention forming in her so the only option left was to ditch the party so she wouldn't entertain any harmful thoughts.She groaned several times as Darren drove and her anger escalated when she saw him smiling widely." Excuse me, are you laughing right now?" She suddenly lashed out and Darren jolted before he gained himself and held on to the steering wheel." Really Sharlynn? I'm driving!" He complained and Sharlynn cringed when she realized that her tone frightened him. Heck, her tone frightened her! Since Darren marked her as his mate, she had noticed her slightly edgy and aggressive character when things got personal." Sorry, Darren it's just that I'm really mad right now!" She said, folding her arms and he smiled." And then you see that I'm mad but you laugh about it!" She added and he s
Darren had the best night of his life while he was with Sharlynn, they spent the whole night talking, kissing, and cuddling but even though he wanted more, he didn't want to rush her. With the way they couldn't seem to get enough of each other Darren wasn't sure if they would even sleep at all, but when Sharlynn finally slept he followed suit and had a good night's sleep for the first time in fifty years.He usually had nightmares about his five-year-old self being torn from his mother and condemned to death by burning and when he woke up from such nightmares, he would be so uncomfortable.Today was however different. As he woke up, he did so with a smile and tossed to the other side of the bed so that he could watch Sharlynn sleep. But Sharlynn wasn't there, her side of the bed was empty and cold and he wondered if everything that happened between he and Sharlynn was a dream.Getting up from his bed, he searched the ground for any signs of any of he
Darren looked at the faces of everyone gathered in the basement of their house. He didn't like them all in his house but a meeting had to be held between all families about Sharlynn.He and Meredith as well as other extended families who were present via astral projection sat down while others stood and talked amongst themselves.Kyle and Kimmel were the only representatives for the Ridges, though the blood moon pack was present. Kyle and Kimmel's parents were extremely busy at the mount Durbes where they were currently seeking rehab after their run-in with a Kanareé. He still couldn't understand how they saw one since Kanareés belong to Veilah and do not exist on Earth.Nick, Tom, and Ron their father were yet to arrive and there wasn't much time left as far as he was concerned so he decided to signal his Aunt to start the meeting. She nodded and clasped her hands causing a rush of wind to flow through the room, startling everyone.&nbs
