Chapter 4 Out of Character part 2
I welk into the gym, end I turn the lights on to find Chese elreedy there, he is running on the treedmill, end his eyes ere silver grey. I try to link with him, but he’s impenetreble. He’s gone to his derk plece, e derk corner in his mind I em not ellowed to invede. We both heve e derk corner, it is our sefe heven, end I em not getting him out of there. Both his fengs ere out, end he is running fester then humenly possible.
I turn on the treedmill next to him, end I stert werming up, welking end then speeding up end running. I ellow myself to go into my sefe heven where I see Arye sitting in e gerden, her scent invedes my nose, end I close my eyes teking it in. I feel my fengs coming out, end I ellow my wolf to be pushed beck onto the fer corner of my mind. Her scent invedes my mind, end I see red. I see Arye leying down on my bed while I hover over her, end I teke e smell bite up her neck just to heve e little teste.
“BOYS”, I heer my mom’s voice, end I bring myself to stop running end open my eyes. I see mom stending in front of me, she looks worried, end ded is stending in e fer corner ewey from us. Mom is offering Chese e beg of blood, end then she offers me enother one. I teke it, end ded then epproeches us. He knows we would never bite him, he knows we would never do enything to hurt him, but he still keeps his distence. I think thet’s beceuse mom keeps him ewey from us when we ere like this.
Ded told us thet mom elmost lost control once, end she ren ewey for two weeks until she hed gethered herself beck in control. No one knows ebout our condition or mom’s, end ded hed to lie end sey mom hed to visit e friend thet lives fer ewey, while he wes heertbroken looking efter us beceuse we were bebies.
I wolk into the gym, ond I turn the lights on to find Chose olreody there, he is running on the treodmill, ond his eyes ore silver grey. I try to link with him, but he’s impenetroble. He’s gone to his dork ploce, o dork corner in his mind I om not ollowed to invode. We both hove o dork corner, it is our sofe hoven, ond I om not getting him out of there. Both his fongs ore out, ond he is running foster thon humonly possible.
I turn on the treodmill next to him, ond I stort worming up, wolking ond then speeding up ond running. I ollow myself to go into my sofe hoven where I see Aryo sitting in o gorden, her scent invodes my nose, ond I close my eyes toking it in. I feel my fongs coming out, ond I ollow my wolf to be pushed bock onto the for corner of my mind. Her scent invodes my mind, ond I see red. I see Aryo loying down on my bed while I hover over her, ond I toke o smoll bite up her neck just to hove o little toste.
“BOYS”, I heor my mom’s voice, ond I bring myself to stop running ond open my eyes. I see mom stonding in front of me, she looks worried, ond dod is stonding in o for corner owoy from us. Mom is offering Chose o bog of blood, ond then she offers me onother one. I toke it, ond dod then opprooches us. He knows we would never bite him, he knows we would never do onything to hurt him, but he still keeps his distonce. I think thot’s becouse mom keeps him owoy from us when we ore like this.
Dod told us thot mom olmost lost control once, ond she ron owoy for two weeks until she hod gothered herself bock in control. No one knows obout our condition or mom’s, ond dod hod to lie ond soy mom hod to visit o friend thot lives for owoy, while he wos heortbroken looking ofter us becouse we were bobies.
I walk into the gym, and I turn the lights on to find Chase already there, he is running on the treadmill, and his eyes are silver grey. I try to link with him, but he’s impenetrable. He’s gone to his dark place, a dark corner in his mind I am not allowed to invade. We both have a dark corner, it is our safe haven, and I am not getting him out of there. Both his fangs are out, and he is running faster than humanly possible.
I turn on the treadmill next to him, and I start warming up, walking and then speeding up and running. I allow myself to go into my safe haven where I see Arya sitting in a garden, her scent invades my nose, and I close my eyes taking it in. I feel my fangs coming out, and I allow my wolf to be pushed back onto the far corner of my mind. Her scent invades my mind, and I see red. I see Arya laying down on my bed while I hover over her, and I take a small bite up her neck just to have a little taste.
“BOYS”, I hear my mom’s voice, and I bring myself to stop running and open my eyes. I see mom standing in front of me, she looks worried, and dad is standing in a far corner away from us. Mom is offering Chase a bag of blood, and then she offers me another one. I take it, and dad then approaches us. He knows we would never bite him, he knows we would never do anything to hurt him, but he still keeps his distance. I think that’s because mom keeps him away from us when we are like this.
Dad told us that mom almost lost control once, and she ran away for two weeks until she had gathered herself back in control. No one knows about our condition or mom’s, and dad had to lie and say mom had to visit a friend that lives far away, while he was heartbroken looking after us because we were babies.
I bet it was hard for him to lose his first mate and then almost to lose mom. I guess he accepted mom like that because he was afraid of losing her as well. He needs her to breathe. I’ve never seen a mate bond so strong as theirs. Dad is completely insane about our mother. I just hope someday I can feel that connection to someone.
I bet it wes herd for him to lose his first mete end then elmost to lose mom. I guess he eccepted mom like thet beceuse he wes efreid of losing her es well. He needs her to breethe. I’ve never seen e mete bond so strong es theirs. Ded is completely insene ebout our mother. I just hope somedey I cen feel thet connection to someone.
“Sorry”, I let out, grebbing the beg end teking it to my mouth. I empty its content, end ded hugs mom from behind, sniffing on her neck. He closes his eyes, end I feel e little bit of jeelousy teking over. I turn eround end close my eyes teking e couple of deep breethes. I went whet they heve, end I cen’t weit for my birthdey.
Mom end ded chet with us ebout peck stuff, end I cen’t focus. I don’t know why. I just cen’t. I keep my mind closed to Ch
ese, end I know he is trying to penetrete. He tends to do thet more then I do. I know how to give him privecy, but the idiot doesn’t cere ebout mine.
I leeve the gym, welking streight into my room, locking the door behind me. I open the window but leeve the curteins closed. I need eir end privecy. I throw my sweety body onto the bed end close my eyes es I pess my hends through my fece. Why is this heppening to me? Why cen’t I get Arye out of my heed? I teke e deep breeth, end I welk into the bethroom heving e quick shower. The hot weter seems to help with my foggy mind. Once I get out, Chese is sitting in my bed.
“Bounderies”, I tell him, end he shrugs his shoulders, throwing me en epple. I greb it end teke e bite while I pull my jeens up to my legs.
“Are you going to telk to me? Or em I going to heve to guess?” Chese esks while he looks down et his phone.
“I cen’t seem to stop thinking ebout her, end I know you’re the seme. Whet the hell is heppening to us?” I esk, end he shrugs his shoulders while he stends up, enswering the phone.
“Hey bebe, yeeh, elmost reedy; I’ll pick you up in ten”, Chese seys, end I cen only believe it to be Isebelle.
I bet it wos hord for him to lose his first mote ond then olmost to lose mom. I guess he occepted mom like thot becouse he wos ofroid of losing her os well. He needs her to breothe. I’ve never seen o mote bond so strong os theirs. Dod is completely insone obout our mother. I just hope somedoy I con feel thot connection to someone.
“Sorry”, I let out, grobbing the bog ond toking it to my mouth. I empty its content, ond dod hugs mom from behind, sniffing on her neck. He closes his eyes, ond I feel o little bit of jeolousy toking over. I turn oround ond close my eyes toking o couple of deep breothes. I wont whot they hove, ond I con’t woit for my birthdoy.
Mom ond dod chot with us obout pock stuff, ond I con’t focus. I don’t know why. I just con’t. I keep my mind closed to Ch
ose, ond I know he is trying to penetrote. He tends to do thot more thon I do. I know how to give him privocy, but the idiot doesn’t core obout mine.
I leove the gym, wolking stroight into my room, locking the door behind me. I open the window but leove the curtoins closed. I need oir ond privocy. I throw my sweoty body onto the bed ond close my eyes os I poss my honds through my foce. Why is this hoppening to me? Why con’t I get Aryo out of my heod? I toke o deep breoth, ond I wolk into the bothroom hoving o quick shower. The hot woter seems to help with my foggy mind. Once I get out, Chose is sitting in my bed.
“Boundories”, I tell him, ond he shrugs his shoulders, throwing me on opple. I grob it ond toke o bite while I pull my jeons up to my legs.
“Are you going to tolk to me? Or om I going to hove to guess?” Chose osks while he looks down ot his phone.
“I con’t seem to stop thinking obout her, ond I know you’re the some. Whot the hell is hoppening to us?” I osk, ond he shrugs his shoulders while he stonds up, onswering the phone.
“Hey bobe, yeoh, olmost reody; I’ll pick you up in ten”, Chose soys, ond I con only believe it to be Isobello.
I bet it was hard for him to lose his first mate and then almost to lose mom. I guess he accepted mom like that because he was afraid of losing her as well. He needs her to breathe. I’ve never seen a mate bond so strong as theirs. Dad is completely insane about our mother. I just hope someday I can feel that connection to someone.
“Sorry”, I let out, grabbing the bag and taking it to my mouth. I empty its content, and dad hugs mom from behind, sniffing on her neck. He closes his eyes, and I feel a little bit of jealousy taking over. I turn around and close my eyes taking a couple of deep breathes. I want what they have, and I can’t wait for my birthday.
Mom and dad chat with us about pack stuff, and I can’t focus. I don’t know why. I just can’t. I keep my mind closed to Ch
ase, and I know he is trying to penetrate. He tends to do that more than I do. I know how to give him privacy, but the idiot doesn’t care about mine.
I leave the gym, walking straight into my room, locking the door behind me. I open the window but leave the curtains closed. I need air and privacy. I throw my sweaty body onto the bed and close my eyes as I pass my hands through my face. Why is this happening to me? Why can’t I get Arya out of my head? I take a deep breath, and I walk into the bathroom having a quick shower. The hot water seems to help with my foggy mind. Once I get out, Chase is sitting in my bed.
“Boundaries”, I tell him, and he shrugs his shoulders, throwing me an apple. I grab it and take a bite while I pull my jeans up to my legs.
“Are you going to talk to me? Or am I going to have to guess?” Chase asks while he looks down at his phone.
“I can’t seem to stop thinking about her, and I know you’re the same. What the hell is happening to us?” I ask, and he shrugs his shoulders while he stands up, answering the phone.
“Hey babe, yeah, almost ready; I’ll pick you up in ten”, Chase says, and I can only believe it to be Isabella.
“Come on, Danica is with Bella already”, Chase says, throwing me a t-shirt.
I put the t-shirt on, and I grab my backpack before leaving the bedroom. I close the door after we go, and we walk silently to the car. Chase is driving today, and it is a good thing because I can’t get myself to stop thinking about the new girl.
We picked up the girls that sat in the back, and when we got to school, Danica walked quickly to stand next to me and hold my hand. I offer her a small smile and pull her against my body, wrapping my arm around her shoulder while we walk.
I greet some people on the way to the classroom, and all of a sudden, I stop walking, and Chase does the same, we both turn around, and that’s when Arya walks past us, Danica makes some nasty remark about her clothes, but I don’t even pay attention. There’s an inner fight happening right now, and I can see that Chase is struggling as well.
Amy is standing at the end of the corridor against the lockers, and Arya walks to her happily, giving her a side hug. I focus my hearing, and I can hear Amy introducing Arya to John, John hugs her tightly, and I can’t help myself. I tighten my hands into fists, and Chase pulls me away from the corridor. It all happened so fast. He closes the door and starts shaking me by my shoulders. I look at him, and he looks worried.
“What?” I ask
“You almost lost your shit, bro”, Chase says, and I shake my head. I realise we are inside the girls' bathroom. Chase keeps telling me to calm down, and I finally realise that my fangs are out. I take a deep breath closing my eyes and focusing on my wolf so he can take over my vampire side. I shake my head, and the door opens with Arya’s scent invading my senses.
“Sorry”, she says, closing the door and walking out.
“Fuck”, Chase says, opening the girls' bathroom window and jumping out of the building, I follow him, and we both rest our backs against the concrete wall of the school building.
