Strangers Not Strangers

Palms on the counter, I brace myself. Now, gazing into my eyes in the bathroom mirror, I exhale slowly. I'm starting to hate Tyler. I know he's the reason we're stuck on this island. Aaron said we're vacationing for the weekend at his Aunt Delihah's home, who is Tyler's mom. I've never asked what she does for a living, but her mansion is here. The city is only a twenty-minute ferry ride away, but we're completely isolated. Other properties are throughout the island, but each home is secluded. Aaron always acts like he wants quality time, but everything we do includes Tyler. I figured I could handle a weekend getaway with the both of them, but I just learned we're stranded here for two weeks because Tyler supposedly forgot the boat schedule. Aaron and I met during my sophomore year in college. He's attractive and intelligent with lots of swag, so we hit it off great. We hadn't been on three dates before Tyler started tagging along. Banging on the door jolts me out of my thoughts. I

Stranded

Aaron is pounding on the door like a maniac. Sobbing, I lean my head against it, clutching the doorknob. This last hard thump on the door makes me wipe my tears, unlock it, and hurry over to Jude. Emotionless Jude looks down at me, and then Aaron comes crashing inside. Instantly, I stand on my tippy toes, grab Jude by the back of his neck, and start forcing my tongue into his mouth. At first, Jude is hesitant. Now pleading with my eyes, Jude kisses me back. After we kiss for a few seconds, I peek toward Aaron, curious why he hasn't interrupted us. Feet flat but still holding on to Jude's biceps, I cut my eyes towards Aaron. His face was scowled up, but his eyes were dazing past us. Soon, he focuses and scoffs, "You'll regret this, Ajay," then storms away. Hurt and enraged by his unwillingness to fight for me, I hurried and slammed the door behind him. My body trembles as I stare at the door, too ashamed to face Jude when he mumbles, "I'm sorry you had to see that." Now facing him,

Love Bites

After walking about a mile, I see a gas station. Placing my suitcase on its side, I sit beside the ice cooler. Today is gloomy and cloudy. I'm sure it's going to rain soon. Once I rest, I enter the gas station and purchase water and snacks. Aaron's cruel words replay in my head, causing me to keep having to hold back tears.My childhood was far from ideal. Both my parents were drug addicts. Once my mother overdosed, my dad got sober, but he needed to get his life in order. Unfortunately, I wasn't part of that plan and was turned over to the state.All my next of kin were contacted before the state claimed me as their own. No one wanted me, but at the last hour, my Aunt Irene adopted me. Initially, she was caring and attentive, but after her daughter's father left her and she found a new man, I became a burden.Aunt Irene is an engineer, so we lived a good life. I went to great schools, and she even gave me a car. Although she cared for me, I knew I was merely a niece. Her daughter, Dr

Bedside Manners

Glancing toward his home, I lower my voice, asking, "Is that your idea of a passion mark?"Unmoved, he scowls my way, and then we hear, "Jude!"His eyes still fixed on me, Jude answers, "Deena, hold up."Clicking my tongue, I say, "Hurry along to Deena, I have to go."Jude heads home while I head back down the road to the highway. By the time I reach the street, I'm sobbing. Suddenly, I hear rustling in the trees and shout, "Who's there?"Micah comes out of the greenery, motioning for me to keep quiet. Wiping my face dry with my hand, he whispers, "Don't cry. Follow me."Hand in hand, we detour through the trees, and there's a lakehouse. Micah chirps the alarm to a black-tinted luxury SUV and then says, "Jude's my guy, but he can be an asshole. I have a place you can stay, and I'm sure I can find you a way home sooner."Micah is opening my door when he gasps, "Have you seen your neck?""Oh yeah. It hurts bad. Do you have any antiseptics or preferably a hospital? I believe the guy who

Family Matters

Feeling like a first-class skank, I hop out of bed, covering myself with the sheet. Deena scolds, "Why are you here and in Jude's bed?""I-I'm so sorry. I.."Out of nowhere, Jude appears behind Deena, shouting, "Get out of here!"The entire room rattles from him slamming the door. Deena is yelling, but they must've gone downstairs because her screaming is now in the distance. Straight away, I get dressed and then make up his bed.Soon, I had a migraine from wishing Aaron hadn't cheated on me. I'd be with him at his aunt's studying for my finals. Oh wow, my finals. While sitting, I checked my emails, and three professors have denied me an extension. My accounting professor will probably do the same.There's a calm, so I open the bedroom door. No longer hearing arguing, I tip-toed down the stairs. Once I reach the bottom, Deena and Jude are standing there. Eyes red from crying, Deena rolls them hard away from me. Glaring through me, Jude asks, "What?"Eyes shut tight, I lift my palm tow

Things Aren't As They Seem

"Jude!" Mama shouts.Our backs towards her, Jude stops and whispers, "Go to the car."Before I take a step, Mama says, "You too, Ajay."Wide-eyed, I look up at Jude, whose eyes are glaring through his mama. Mama asks, "Son, do you know what day it is?"Glancing my way, he answers, "Thursday.""Okay. Friday is an important day, right?""I'm more aware of Friday than you are, mama. I assure you, I won't need my privacy until Saturday night."Aware of my uneasiness, Mama smiles my way, saying, "Tonight, we are having a luau for the guests. Please, stay and enjoy the festivities."Flustered, Jude releases a loud sigh. Unmoved by his agitation, Mama stares through him, saying, "Ajay needs to see how fun we are."She winks at me, but Jude answers, " Not tonight, mama.""Deena! Please escort Ajay to her room." Mama shouts.Through a phony grin, Deena says, "Follow me."My eyes fixed on Jude, he pleads, "Mama, I promise I'll return her tomorrow.""Son, we discussed...""Mama, I have needs," J

Profess Her

I've been staying at the villa. It's Saturday morning when I decide to call Aunt Irene. Groggy, she answers, "Morning, Ajay. Why are you waking me up early on the weekend?""Hey, Auntie. I need your help." I wince."Where's Aaron?""We broke up.""What happened?""He cheated on me, Auntie.""And?" She scoffs. "And that's enough.""Naive child. ...Well, what do you need me to do?""I need help getting home. I'm stranded on Knight's Island.""Where?""I think it's between the Gulf of Mexico and the Bahamas. If I'm honest, I have no idea where I am.""How'd you get there?""I came with Aaron, but he got the ferry schedule wrong, and then we broke up. Now I'm stranded with no money and nowhere to stay.""How much are we talking?""I promise I'll pay back every...""How much?" She interrupts.Eyes shut tight, I answer, "Two thousand?""No way!""Aunt Irene, please! I have finals, my job. I'll lose everything.""No, you won't because you'll make up with Aaron, get home, then dump him. You'

Jude's Night

The sunrays cutting through the forest awaken me. My knees sink into the rain-soaked soil as I kneel to stand. Peeking through the trees, I watch as the men in my family drive off in their SUVs. Once they're gone, I sprint towards my home. Now, inside, I take a cold shower. My body is burning hot. Feeling my temperature drop causes me to release a sigh of relief. While the water flows off the back of my head and down my body, from fear, I start to tremble. Is everyone in my family still alive? Sitting in bed nude, I call Mama. Excited, she answers, "Hey, baby. Are you okay?" "I am well."Hesitant, I continue, "Is everyone okay?""Yes. The door works great. You never entered our location.""Well, let me rest. I'll call you tomorrow.""Okay. Jude, we love you.""You too." Coming out of my daydream, I reflect. There hasn't been an alpha male werewolf in our lineage since 1677. My mama, her grandparents, and great-grandparents told stories of when the Knight family had werewolf protec

Trust Issues

Once Jude and I walked past Mama, she stammered, "Will you disregard your mama so harshly over this woman?"Eyes shut tight, he squeezes my hand. Exhaling loudly, he stops and then faces her. Through near weepy eyes, he answers, "You know it's not that, Mama.""Well, what is it? ...Everyone, please give us some privacy."Now, walking past Jude, he snatches me close, whispering, "Do not leave with anyone. You have to trust me. Promise me you won't leave.""I promise."Within seconds, Marisol grabs my hand and starts pulling me away. Grinning from ear to ear, through clenched teeth, she says, "We found you a boat ride to the mainland. It leaves Monday evening. We purchased you a plane ticket back to Michigan as well. If you miss the boat, you'll miss your plane. I suggest you tell Jude you want to stay here tonight."Who do I trust? Yes, Micah and his family have been kinder, but Jude gave me shelter, a job, and a professor willing to help. Just as we go to turn the corner, Jude shouts

The Blood Moon

My car is still moving when I jump out. My insides are on fire as I approach Mama. Unmoved, she embraces me. Micah and Andrew stand listening nearby. Mama, and they know they're no threat to me. Only because I love them, I control my urge. Breathless, I pant out, "Mama, please give her to me. Let me end my misery."Gently caressing my arms and gazing deep into my eyes, Mama says, "No, I think you'll be more miserable if you hurt her.""No, Mama, you're wrong. Deena's right. I need to remove her before she causes harm to the family." "Will she? Or will it be you?""Only if you leave her here. I don't want to, but if she stays, you leave me no choice.""You have a choice, son. You can trust your mama and leave her here tonight or trust your instincts and massacre your entire family. Would you do that to Rojelio?"Hearing Rojelio's name upsets me. Gnashing, I hurry to my car and speed off.Mama's right. If I hurt Ajay, it'll destroy me, but my body needs her tonight. Jude, snap out of
