The World I Once Knew Chapter 15
**Hey everyone! Early update**We all spun to the front door to find a man in a black cloak standing there. He was about 5’6” with dark brown hair peeking out of his hood, piercing brown eyes, and caramel skin that was perfectly tanned.In his clutches was an older woman with silver curly hair, blue eyes, and she was silently struggling to get out of his grip. If looks could kill, the man would have died the moment this woman made eye contact.We all took defensive positions, closely watching the man and his hostage.“Who are you and what do you want?” I hissed, chugging my coffee and placing the cup on the table.He arched an eyebrow, clearly not intimidated by my tiny self. He turned the woman and Jeremy must have recognized her as he began growling and his claws elongated from his fingers.“Well, looks like someone recognizes this bitch,” the man chuckled, tightening his grip on the woman.Her eyes widened and she struggled a bit more, but we could tell she was losing strengt

I smiled triumphantly, “To the yard it is.” I gestured for him to walk back out the door.His brown eyes were filled with deceit, and I knew he had something up his sleeve. But I also knew I would be just fine with Amanda.You ready for this? I asked her.As ready as I’ll ever be, she growled. He may not be our mate anymore, but this is his mom, and I’ll be damned if she gets hurt on our watch.With a smile at my new found family, we walked outside. It had been so long with just Rosy and I that this new family was something I would lay down my life for.Jeremy played the referee as we situated ourselves in the field. “This is a fight to the death or till one of you gives in,” he started, glancing between Magnus and I.Magnus had stripped to a black tank top and basketball shorts, while I stood in spandex shorts and a sports bra, with my boots on. There were knives tucked into the inside of them, but I doubted I would need them.“There are no rules. First person to fall to the h

The portal felt like jumping into ice cold mist. My feet firmly hit the ground with a thud. While the portal itself was cold, where I was standing was the average weather at home.My eyes blazed purple as I looked around. The spot I was standing in was a circle of dead grass, but the rest of the forest was green and lush. I was surrounded by pine trees and shrubs, with no one in sight. When I turned around there was no portal opening, and no squad.Amanda! You still there? I called out to her.Yep, you’re stuck with me! She yipped. But I’m not sensing any of the group close to us.That’s definitely going to be a problem, I sighed.I spun around and took in the area around me with a grimace.Rosy, can you hear me? I tried to link her.The link was quiet for a moment before my head buzzed.Yep, I can hear you! She exclaimed excitedly. Do you know where you are?I have no clue, I sighed. I’m surrounded by pine trees and Amanda says she can’t sense anyone nearby.That’s going to

"Ghouls are actually a rare species, and I don’t particularly like them, as ironic as that is," she explained.I smirked. “The problem with you crossing over as a part of the living, is that you will bea target. I felt when you all entered. It sent a shockwave over the land to everyone.” What she was saying was concerning, but I listened as she explained. “Because there are the crazies that find the weak points and try to bring the livingback, there will be bounties on all of your heads. The living are a luxury here. They can give, say ghouls for example, a euphoric type feeling if they were to eat you. Living are like heroin down here,” my eyes widened, suddenly concerned she was going to try to eat me. She put her hands up, “Don’t worry, I’m not going to eat you. I don’t want to do that, regardless of the circumstances. I have no desire to become a drug addict today.”She tried to joke, and while I relaxed a little, I wasn’t completely comfortable.“The reason I’m glancing ou

It was another beautiful day at the house. Rosy and I were sitting at the kitchen table drinking coffee debating going into town. We lived about 10 minutes outside of Missoula, Montana. Our parents were gone. They had passed a couple years prior. When they died, they left us the house and the property. It was a nice 2 story home with 5 bedrooms and 2 baths. Both of us smoked, so we had put on a new enclosed front porch the previous year. Neither of us worked as our parents were billionaires and had left their fortune to us. But we didn’t live in luxury. We had what we needed and some of what we wanted.The last thing we wanted to do was draw attention to ourselves. To the civilian world we were just 2 females in their early 20s.What they didn’t know was that we were Guardians. The dead did come back to the land of the living, but with malicious intent. They used Portals, aka Crossing Points, to come over. Their goal was to kidnap the nearest living person and take them back to th

Rosy began cleaning our equipment while I went to take care of the yard. I drug the hose out to the field and began spraying all the blood away. We had to make sure that the civilian world didn’t know anything about what we were doing here. I’d been at it for about 10 minutes when I heard tires in the driveway. I had hosed down the major spots, so it was enough that people would have to look closely to notice. I turned around and watched as a young man stepped out of the police cruiser. “Missoula Sheriff's Department” was written on the side of it. That was when a smell hit my nose, causing me to freeze in shock. Pine needles and rain. MATE! My tiger, Amanda, yelped excitedly in my mind. No, no! He can’t be! I growled, still frozen in place. Go to him! Stop being stubborn! She pushed me forward. The man had paused outside his police cruiser staring at me in awe. Even from this distance I could tell he was a werewolf. He had the smell of my mate, but also the scent of his pack.

We both turned and looked at the front door as we heard gravel crunch in the driveway. Rosy went to get up to check who it was, but I put up a hand to stop her.“No need,” I sighed, grabbing my coffee and heading towards the door myself.“It’s Dylan.”I glanced down at my outfit and suddenly felt mildly self conscious. I was wearinga red push up sports bra and basketball shorts. It had just been Rosy and I, so there hadbeen no need to put on actual clothes. Now I wished that I had put on a shirt, but it was too late.I could sense him before he even stepped out of his vehicle.Stupid mate bond, I grumbled.You love it, Amanda purred.He wasn’t driving his cruiser, which told me he wasn’t on duty. Rosy sat down with a grin and sipped her coffee, “Have fun.”I gave her a playful glare before I turned around to refill my cup and walked out the front door. I made sure to disguise mine and Rosy’s scents, so he would still think we were human.He was leaning on his truck when I

“What’s going on?” Dylan yelled, catching up to us quite quickly.Fuck, he’s fast, I smiled, skidding to a halt 20 yards from the portal.Dylan was on my right, staring at me like he wanted answers. Rosy was on my left, with her crossbow strapped to her left arm, and her sword in her right.I quickly strapped my crossbow to my right and had my sword in my left. I had learned a long time ago that Rosy and I were not always the same.“Anna!” Dylan tried to get my attention.I whirled around and glared up at him, “I do not have time to explain this!” His eyes widened, and for a moment he looked startled. “There are about to be a lot of people in this yard, and if you wanna help, fine!” I offered him my sword. “Make yourself useful if you want to help us!”He took a little longer to take it than I expected, but after a few seconds he took my sword, and faced the spiral that was now appearing.I drew my knife from the side of my bra, and readied the bow.Dylan glanced at me, “What
