Howl at me by Cama Seeney (best non fiction books to read txt) 📕

grinned at the three people who I wanted to become my friends. 'Hey!!!'' I said enthusiastically - practically bouncing in my seat. Lilly squealed and hugged me. 'You're back!!' she said excitedly. 'I'm sorry about yesterday you guys. You've been nothing but nice and I kinda threw that in your faces'. They all accepted my apology talking excitedly about the party on the beach. 'Oh yea, my friends been talking about it all freaking week! What's so special about it?' I asked amused at their enthusiasm

 

'Well we don't get out much.' She explained with a little grin. 'How not! You're town is covered in beautiful forests, Cliffs and sea!!' I said incredulous, seriously could they not see the beauty this town posses? Agrizoophobia – fear of wild animals, maybe they were scared of wolves but I didn't think we had any in England! Hmm or they could fear being trapped - cleithrophobia. Oh or the fear of climbing climacophobia. 

 

'Well it's just some kids were stolen before.' Muttered Tig almost to himself. 'What!?' I almost shouted. 'Shh. We probably shouldn't be telling you this but, a little while back some of the Henderson kids were taken. Masons brother was among them.' Oh poor mason! I had been so insensitive to him, I should apologise 'Well anyway, what are you going to wear?!?' Lilly asked me almost jumping up and down on her seat. 'Well I have a white dress with smoky grey runes. It matches my boots. .'

 

'What about you?' I asked truly curious. 'Mine has a built in corset of course. An leather middle and a deep black lace that ends in a full skirt. Its sleeveless and pretty much backless. It is Completely amazing!' She began bouncing again and I couldn't help but join her. '

 

 

The broken mirror of my soul

Chapter 19 

 

 The rest of lunch carried on in a state of normalcy, that I couldn't help but approve and adore. English was next.That however I couldn't help but dread . I  didn't want to be picked out again, expected to say my analysis but I wasn't. Luckily for me the teacher had lost her voice - I was sorry to hear that but it meant I was able to sit in silence myself. She handed us three sheets, written across the top was 'Analyse and explain what the poem tells you. Then pair up and work Quietly'  The underlined quietly made me chuckle, well until Hunter started to make his way towards my desk. Shit. Shit. Shit. 

 

Suddenly Chase appeared at my side, grabbing my things and I was left to sit in the spare chair at his desk. The desks were big enough to hold two people but Ms price preferred us to sit alone, we worked better that way. 'So what did he do to piss you off? I saw you visibly trembling at his presence don't deny it.' He said peering into my face. 'Being a player' What I meant to say was jack ass but I'm pretty sure Chase got the picture.

 

Chase shuffled his paper and his long sleeve rose slightly, showing the scars scattering his left wrist. I took his hand gently studying his wrist. I squeezed his hand once and looked into his eyes, they were so deep, seeming almost to swallow me whole. It appeared almost as if one place of his delicate wrist had been broken over and over again, the same jagged line that no knife could ever leave a mark and leave behind the damage that scared his wrists. Behind the laughter lay so much pain, thus making it barely bearable to look into his forgiving eyes. I'm pretty sure he saw the same look echoed in my very own.

 

They seemed to scream 'I am damaged!'. I couldn't help but voice an expression back to him. 'I am perfectly broken' I whispered, I couldn't take my eyes off of his own. 'Beautify damaged.' He countered with complete seriousness and unyielding sobriety. When you hurt so much that you find it terribly hard to breathe, you are never more alive. I felt like I had found the perfect, crippled, cracked, crushed, faulty, fractured and most definitely fragmented mirrored version of my soul. Silently we began the work we were set, comfortable in the silence that greeted us. How could a few mere scars make me feel so deeply for a guy I had only really known a day, what made him so different from ever other player or pleasant boy... Would I ever be able to pause my questioning mind? 'You know what we are right?' I shrugged in responce. 'Were loyal, we don't ugh sleep around or whatever. It's not in our nature. We have one mate and that's our lot in life. It is an oddity to change after the bond, do not mistake players for curiosoty'. Chase warned gentally.  I left the room silently after the bell rang, for some reason I couldn't bare to see the gentle curoisty that lit chases face.

 

The day's that seem to just fly by

Chapter 20

 

 I  sat in another one of Mr Fitzpatrick boring lectures which was snooze worthy. I made my way home and thought it'd be best if I began on the work Gregory had set me hours later I had finished the anatomy of the eye, knowing way to much about eyes I walked down the stairs. I cooked, cleaned and even hovered before going to bed early. 

 

I awoke, alone but never the less I was excited for the days adventures. I was even going to go to a party later! I jumped up and down excitedly, I had wayyy too much energy. Run! Run! Run! Not only my body but also my mind was screaming. I threw leggings that came down just bellow my knee, a bright pink sports bra and the same tee shirt I wore the day before, no need in wearing a clean one if I expected to sweat.

 

I grabbed Bo's thin red lead, not that she ever needed it, and hung it around my neck encase there was any animals I needed to get Bo away from. My body felt like it could run for hours. I ram deep into the forest, considering it was only 2pm it was pretty dark in here but it seemed to welcome me all the same.

 

My body automatically barged and bounded over the tickled earth bellow my new trainers. Branches and small logs were just as easy to over come, I quickly sprinted left and right, in and out of the tree's that surrounded me. Without music guiding me it was strangely quiet, but i felt like forest had its own drum beat. A beat that my heart quickly followed, following the mass current of energy i put more energy into the run that never in my life had I needed more. The earth's grass, twigs and leaves crossed my path took quickly for me to inspect. My life was at such a peace, I had no direction yet a reason; it was perfect. Well until a branch broke behind me. I turned quickly searching the source of the sound that had startled me. I crouched and prepared to face what ever came out of the bushes. The interruption was not supposed to happen, it annoyed me to no end.

 

What faced me wasn't scary at all, even as shocked as I was to bump into him. 'What are you doing in the forest little kitten? You could be snatched up by a big nasty wolf.' His face lit with humour and once again he was the hansom, care free man I barely knew. 'Well if I'm a kitten a wolf would want red riding hood not me so I'm safe.' I told him turning to call Bo back, my whistle echoed across and through the empty forest. She came bounding up to me soaking wet, she had found a near by river or something to lie down and cool off.  I clucked my tong and waved my hand, she ran off with a little curious tilt to her head at Chase. 

 

'Now that is one adorable dog!' He told me watching our whole encounter. 'Haa, I know. Can't believe she understands me half the time.' I said grinning like a proud mother. 'Wont to go for a swim?' He asked me, nodding in the direction of Bo. I was worried about smelling bad and it was getting rather hot so we followed Bo to the lake. Yhea there's a whole freaking lake that was hidden in the forest.

 

We climbed up a tree that over hung the lake and made our way to a strong branch that could hold both our weight. We threw our socks and trainers down to the floor as did Bo's lead. His shirt followed his shoes but I couldn't make myself take mine off, sometimes I really wish I was a narcissist but then it wouldnt take long to dry off in this heat.I took three steps and dived into the water not to far bellow.

 

The water was surprisingly clear and I could see Chase as he dived in next to me. I swam closer to him grinning, he looked deep into my eyes and seemed to almost gasp ( well as much as you can gasp whilst your under water). I just pulled a face, puffing out my cheeks and crossing my eyes. As soon as I surfaced gasping water was splashed in my face, laughing I splashed him back. Bo chose that very moment to swim over to us with a stick in her mouth. Laughing so much I found it so hard to breathe, let alone swim. I dived again to see if there was any fish in the lake, as I watched a small swarm of fish flashed passed my face. 

 

When I surfaced Chase was already out of the lake happily throwing the stick for Bo whilst lying idly in the sun. I snook to where he led, with his eyes closed ready to scare him. As soon as I was  foot away from him, he sat up wrapping his long arms around my waist and pulling me down on top of him. He quickly shifted his hips or something because I was suddenly under his smiling form. I shoved at him playfully as he tickled my vulnerable sides. I giggled and screamed until I shouted in surrender. 'Igiveup. You win!' I gasped as he led next to me chuckling. 

 

I shivered involuntary as the sun was hidden by clouds. I sat up and grinned at Chase mischievously as he
