Chapter 6

“Those wolves, I think they wanted something from us. Do you think they needed our help?” I asked. One of them did lead me to that weird place.

“Come on don’t worry about them, they will be fine.” He said pulling me forward.

How does he know that? It doesn’t really matter because after what I just saw I don’t want to be out here in the dark longer than I already have been, so I let him lead the way hoping he knows where we are going.

I hear a roar in the distance, that’s so loud the trees around us shake.

“What was that?” I asked my voice trembling.

“Don’t worry, it’s nothing that can hurt you. Probably just a bear.” he reassured me, but he also picked up the pace.

The moon is now covered by clouds and I can’t see two feet infront of us. Im starting to wonder if we are even safe in that small cabin?

Within minutes I see the light coming through the windows. The cabin was this close by, how did I get so turned around?

“I feel like I walked a lot farther than this” I said.

“It’s easy to go in circles when everything looks the same” Liam answered opening the door.

Once we are inside I start feeling better , especially being surrounding by walls and light. Although, I am not sure how this place would hold up against that thing I saw in the clearing.

“That noise sounded like something out of a horror movie” I think out loud.

“Listen, I’ve heard that noise before and it’s probably just a bear or something” he said avoiding eye contact with me.

I wonder what he is hiding.

“I saw something out there” I said.

“It’s pitch black outside, how can you be sure you saw anything?” he said.

The tension in the air is making me feel like he isn’t telling me everything he knows.

“How can you be so sure? I know I saw something, I’m not crazy” I was starting to get upset with him.

“You were really upset when you ran off” he pointed.

I cut him off because I knew where he was going.

“I might have been upset. But not upset enough to imagine what I saw. I feel like you’re not telling me something.” I blurted out.

I was angry now. He barely knew me and he was basically calling me a liar or thinks I’m some kind of lunatic that sees dead things.

“You’re exhausted, now is not the time. Let’s not argue” he said his voice soft.

Not the time for what?

“I am going for a shower” I say annoyed. I needed some space anyways to decipher what just happened and I knew he wasn’t going to give me any answers.

I head to my room and close the door a little too hard, locking it behind me.

I look in the mirror and my hair is a disaster, there are even a couple of twigs sticking out.

Was anything that just happened even real? The stone table and the light that looked like it went through my skin. I gaze down at my hands and they looked normal.

That monster looked completely soulless. What the hell was it? Was that the creature that made the roar? Surely that couldn’t have been a bear.

I was starting to feel hot again. My fingers are starting to glow like before and the light is moving down my hand and arms.

I screamed and the dresser beside me explodes into what seems like a million pieces. Wood shards are flying in every direction. A large piece heads directly for my face. I put my hands up to protect myself and everything in the room becomes still.

The pieces of wood are frozen in the air in place.

Did I do that? It had to of been me.

There is a knock on my door and Liam says “what is going on in there? That was a loud crash.”

The woods shards fall to the floor in unison making one final clank.

I open the door and he must have been in the middle of changing because he’s not wearing a shirt.

I look at his chest and my heart starts to race. I want to run my tongue over it. Stop it, you’re upset with him.

I feel a strange buzz inside my head and the lights starts to flicker.

Liam looks around the room and runs his fingers through his brown hair. I bite my lip and imagine running my hands through his soft looking hair.

My voice of reason must be gone because without thinking, I push him against the wall and throw my lips on his. He tastes sweet.

For a moment he kisses me back, hard and longing, his tongue teasing my lips. I run my hands down his hard muscular chest, iver the small patch of hair in the middle.

I have never done something like this before, what has gotten into me? The thought leaves my head as quickly as it appeared, distracted by the way his body feels against mine. I start to move my mouth down his neck.

He pushes me away softly and says “hey slow down.”

What was I thinking? Of course he didn’t feel the same way and now I’ve made a complete fool of myself.

I am once again flooded with emotions and after a long day I put my head in my hands and begin to sob.

He pulls me close to him and holds me letting me cry. After a few moments he tilts my chin up and kisses me softly.

“Are you okay?” He wiped away my tear.

“It’s just been a long day” I answered “I’ll be okay.”

He looks around the room and sees the broken desk literally in pieces everywhere.

“I’m glad you’re okay, but your room is not” he said trying to lighten the mood.
