At 7:30 am I was up, showered and dresses, I wanted to be on my way as quickly as possible, I wasn't surprised when I found Acre already in the kitchen making two bowls of cerial, he handed one to me
"Thanks, is Lanna up yet?"
"No"
"Should we wake her?"
"And have her getting in our way all day, no let's not bother, I say we quickly eat and sneak out before she wakes up"
I nod "good plan".
S we scoffed our food as quickly as we could, grabbed our jackets and headed for the door,
"No no no, I haven't had breakfast yet"
a voice behind us said making us both jump
"Errr we were, we were just errr"
"Sneaking out yes I know, I need breakfast first, then we can go"
Lanna said standing there in jeans and a hoodie looking very hip and very out of place
"I have a London map, you boys look it over while I get my breakfast," she said handing Acre the map.
With the map laid out flat on the table, we look over where we should start looking, we decided to go straight to the bombsight in Piccadilly circus and sniff around, see if we can pick up a wolf scent or any clue of who the girls were and where they could be,
"Lanna, why don't you wait here?" I ask hopefully
"No, we stick together"
"Fine," I say deflating in seconds.
After a short cab ride, all three of us are standing at the ruins of a blown-up bus, although there are nobodies lying around on the street you can still see the bloodstains from where they were, the whole area has been cordoned off, there are still police and investigators looking around so there's not much chance of us being able to get near the site without being spotted,
I stand at the edge of the tape, close my eyes and take in as much air as I can, I breathe deeply trying to concentrate on the smell around me but all I'm getting is the scent of the humans around me and burnt remains of the explosion
"Are you getting anything?" Lanna asks breaking my concentration and annoying me,
I turn to look at Acre
"Nothing"
"Want me to try?"
with a big sigh, I say "There's no point"
"Ok so we go have lunch and think of a new plan" Lanna's chirpy voice cut in
"All you do is think about food," Acre said disgustedly
"I feel we need our strength, now come," Lanna said walking away
"Do you think our parents will notice if we go back without her?" Acre based making me laugh
"Are you suggesting we murder her?"
"No, that would be crawl, I was more thinking we tie her to the back of a bus and run away"
"We could tie her to a plane, she would go further" I laugh
"I can hear you," Lanna says smiling whilst leading us down an alley,
When we are halfway in the alley I get a feeling we are being watched, I look to Acre
"You feel it too bro?"
I nod then call "Hey Lanna wait up" As she turns four rogues step into the mouth of the alley, as iI turn I see another four had blocked off the other end,
Acre starts laughing
"Why are you laughing?" Lanna asks confused
"Well because I would say that we are well and truly fucked"
"Yes I would say your right, you are most defiantly trapped or as you call it, Fucked" one of the rogues laugh.
"Whatever happens don't use your elements" "What?" We both look at Lanna as though she's lost her mind "Just do as I say, your dad doesn't want anyone knowing what you can do" I look around and can't see any way for us to get out of this situation, by this time the rogues have all started moving forward, "I don't think there's any way for us to get out of this" I whisper, Acre looks at me before whispering back "Were gonna have to fight" "Hmmm yes but don't transform" "What so we cant use the elements or transform?" Acre spat Lanna rolled her eyes "just follow my lead" "Follow you're... are you joking?" I start to say but its too late, Lanna has already gone up to the lead rogue, all we can do now is watch, "Hello young man, Im Lanna? "Seriously old lady I don't care" "Hmm, your very rude," Lanna says making my eyes bug out if my head "Oh great, she plans to
Once back at the hotel Lanna heads straight for the shower while Acre and I go to the kitchen to make some coffee and sandwiches. "Well who knew," Acre says chuckling. "Yeah I know, we seem to have our very own Bruce Lee". "Or Kun fu panda". We are both laughing as Lanna comes into the kitchen looking fresh and clean wearing a tracksuit. "I know you are both laughing at me". "What no were not" Acre splutters. Lanna raises her eyebrows. "Ok ok we are but seriously that was some badass shit you did back there and you don't exactly look err..." I start to say without knowing how to finish the sentence but Lanna steps in. "Well looks can be deceiving". "So we noticed, where did you learn that stuff?" Acre asks. "My parents put me through classes when I was a child". "Well we are glad, thank you," I say and Lanna smiles and gives me a wink. "Yeah I don't think your queen Lanna anymore,
After a restful nap, we got ready, called a cab and ended up having a fantastic meal, Lanna had decided to use her walking stick all of the time, as she said "On the outside, I'm a little old lady but with enemies around its good to have a weapon", So after our meal we took a stroll to M and M world where Lanna turned into a child, I swear the gleeful look on her face and the way she jumped up and down clapping her hands had me and Acre laughing so hard people had started to stare but Lanna didn't care she just ran around like a five years old. After what felt like forever we were finally on our way, I kept trying to sniff the air to see if I could pick up the mate scent but I couldn't pick anything up so we enjoyed an evening stroll eating M and Ms from the big bag Lanna had bought. We decided it would be easier if we got the tube to the Embankment so headed to Leicester Square station, as we were walking Acre mind linked "Do you get the feel
"No dad, I'm fine, stop worrying, yeah I know you said we should stick together" I thought talking to my dad would help but so far all he has done is worry and yell, I roll my eyes at Acre and Lanna and try again "Dad, come on look we are fine but what do you think I should do?" "Stay away from them son you don't know who they are, look just forget the whole thing and come home" "WHAT? no way, we need to find our mates" Acre had started pacing the room clearly agitated at the thought of being made to go home "Ok look, dad, we've had a long day, ill call you tomorrow and we can talk more", "Ok, you're not going to meet with this chap though are you?" "No dad, we will keep looking for our mates" "ok son, stay safe, goodnight," After I hang up the phone I go to get myself a glass of water and take five minutes before Acre and Lanna start badgering me. I had filled them in on everything that
We get to Trafalgar Square at 1.45 pm and sit beside the fountain waiting, Acre is on edge pacing while I sit relaxed but alert scanning the crowd but Lanna seems to have mastered the art of blending in the best making me wonder if she is acting or is actually that fascinated with the sights "Just look at thoughs huge lions Ocean," she says snapping more pictures with a look of pure glee on her face "Do you think I could sit on one of the lions like thoughs people, so you can get my picture?" "Hahahha Lanna, you do remember why we're here don't you?" Acre asked laughing "Well yes of course but look, it's London guys, it's so exciting" she replies jumping up and down clapping her hands. "So are you enjoying the sights?" a voice asks beside me making me jump "Calm down," he said as I spin to grab his throat and he knocks my hand away "How did you do that?" "Ahhh I can mask my scent, it's a talent I've had since I was a ch
"So tell me, what do these girls look like?" Gregory asked with a glint in his eye, we were all sitting in his study, "They both have brown hair, medium build" Acre started to say but I held up my hand to stop him before looking directly at Gregory "You already know who the girls are so why don't you stop playing games and tell us what you know?" I growl "Ok ok" he chuckles before continuing "Yes I know the girls they are Desert and Sky" The name Desert when he said it made my heart skip a beat and looking across at Acre I could see he also had a content look on his face "Don't you think it's strange how their names are Desert and Sky and you and your brother are Ocean and Acre?" Gregory asked jolting me from my thoughts "Mmmm, so where are they?" "I'm afraid you are going to have to wait a little while longer, I had to send them out of town" "What, why?" Acre asked incredulously "It was for their safety,
A loud scream jolts me back to reality so I start running towards the big mansion where the scream had come from. As I'm running I vaguely notice the others running beside me but it's the sight ahead of me that causes me to stop in my tracks. They're among about 50 men is my beautiful mate and her sister, I can also see a body lying beside them and vaguely wonder who it is, "That must be Mathew," Gregory says "We need to help them," Lanna says aghast at the sight before her, Acre is shaking all over, ready to transform and I'm ready to jump straight into the fight. "Wait" both me and Acre turn on Gregory for suggesting something so stupid "Pease, just wait..... look," he says pointing to the girls, we both turn and I see my mate start turning on the spot whilst her sister had thrown her arms and head back as if talking to the sky, I'm momentarily confused until a sharp wind whips at me and I feel something hitting my fa
"Why are we at the airport?" Desert spat but I just ignored her following behind Gregory's car.In the rearview mirror I see Sky give a confused look to Acre who says"Hey beautiful don't worry, your coming home with me"I see Skys face suddenly relax and a content smile appear on her face, it would have been quite a sweet moment if it wasn't for the snort and huff of Desert"What do you mean, going home with you?"Neither me nor Acre really knew what to say because in truth we hadn't even asked the girls if this was what they wanted, everything had happened so fast and if Gregory thought it would be safer for them to be out of the country then I would drag my feisty little mate kicking and screaming if I had too,"Look, sweetcheeks, it will be safer for you if...""I don't care and stop calling me that""Ok sweetcheeks, whatever you say" I smirk"I swear I will..." she started before Acre jumped in"Ok guys enoug
