Messing With A Tempest by Scarlet Vance (reading in the dark .TXT) 📕

I slam on the alarm clock trying to make the damn beeping stop. I throw the blankets off and stumble off the bed and into the bathroom. I take a steaming hot shower while my father cooks my breakfast downstairs. I step out of the shower stall and dry off quickly. I run to my closet and pull out my favorite pair of black skinny jeans. I pull a drawer on my dresser out and grab a pair of underwear. I grab my royal bones camo lace-up corset and quickly get dressed. I run downstairs looking for my combat boots.

"Dad have you seen my shoes?" I yell from the living room.

"Which ones?" he asks.

"Combat boots," I answer.

"I put them by the front door when you left them in the middle of the hallway."

I grab my boots and walk into the kitchen. He was just finishing the eggs as I sit down at the island. He sits my plate in front of me while I pull my boots on. The plate has beacon, scrambled eggs and buttered toast on it. I quickly eat and head out the door. But then I remember that I forgot to give Dad a kiss. I run back into the kitchen. He's leaning against the counter reading the newspaper and sipping his coffee. I kiss his check and say bye before leaving for school.

I jump into my black 1969 (hehe 69) ford mustang. Dad bought me it for my 16th birthday. It was really expensive and I told him not to buy it but he did anyway and I love him for it. I turn the radio on, Issues by Escape the Fate starts playing and I sing along.

This is the death of me

I feel it constantly

Just like an enemy

That wants to see me bleed

So I try to be silent

But my words

They explode like hand grenades

I just gotta stay calm

Before I let this time bomb blow up in my face

These issues pin me to the floor

These issues are my overlord

I feel so dominated

These issues, they choke my like a noose

Issues, they choke me like a noose

Issues, they choke me like a noose

The hounds of Hell, they cry

That's how they get to me

Inject my head with lies

The pain's astonishing

Like a brick or a stone

Slowly crushing my bones

Sendin' me to my grave

And it's such a fate

This life that I made

I'm goin' insane

These issues pin me to the floor

These issues are my overlord

I feel so dominated

These issues, they choke my like a noose

Issues, they choke me like a noose

Issues, they choke me like a noose

Issues

Issues, they choke me like a noose

These issues, pin me to the floor

These issues, are my overlord

I feel so dominated

These issues, they choke me like a noose

Issues, they choke me like a noose

Issues, they choke me like a noose

Issues, they choke me like a noose

Issues, they choke me like a noose

As soon as the song stops a silver Jaguar f-type speeds out in front of me from a hidden drive way. I slam on my brakes and the horn at the same time causing the Jag to swerve a little. I finished driving to school still cussing out the driver of the Jag in my head. I step out of my car after I parked it only to jump on the hood of my car cause the Jag zooms into the parking space next to mine and almost hits me. I slide off my mustang and angrily hit the hood of his car before walking off toward the school. I hear a car door slam shut and an angry voice behind me.

"Hey! What the fuck do you think you're doing?!?! This car costs more than your own life!!!!" the driver shouts at my back.

I spin around and shout in his face, "Then you should have thought about it before you almost crashed into my car on the way here and almost hitting me just a few seconds ago!!!!"

His emerald green eyes stare intensely into my blue ones. The corners of his full pink lips lift slightly. His broad shoulders and back stiffen as he eye rapes me. His mouth hangs open while scanning my petite but curvy body. I smirk as I turn around and walk off. I get to my locker and I finally open it after like ten tries before a slut slams it shut. She looks like a fucking clown in a super mini skirt and a tank top with her boobs popping out of the tiny bra she forced them in.

"Excuse me but it took me ten tries to open that and I don't appreciate you shutting right after I finally got it to open," I say turning toward her.

"You see I really don't care. But what I do care about is the fact that you upset my boy," she says staring at her nails.

"Your boy?" I ask confused.

"Darin Newcomb," she looks at me like I am dumb.

"I'm sorry but I still don't know who you are talking," I say while opening my locker again.

I put my stuff in my locker that I didn't need for my classes before lunch. Turning around I see that the slutty clown left. I walked into my first period, ugh chemistry, and find the driver of the Jaguar sitting next to the only open seat. As I sit down I feel all eyes on me especially one set of eyes in particular. The bell rings as the teacher walks through the door. Then sits behind his computer and starts role call. He goes through half of the list when he calls Darin Newcomb. The jaguar driver says a quick here. I whip my head around to stare at him. He smirks at me and I just stare in shock.

"Dillon Tempest!" the teacher yells, "Where is Dillon Tempest?!"

"Here, sorry," I look at the teacher and raise my hand slightly.

"Next time answer right away or I will mark you tardy," he says.

Just then the door bursts open and the slutty clown strolls in with a jock behind her.

"Sorry we're late Mr. Collins but we had some personal business to take care of," the slutty clown purrs. She starts walking down my isle and stops in front of me. "You're in my seat," she hisses.

"I don't see your name on it," I state.

"Darin tell her to move!" she screeches.

"She can do whatever she wants, Madelyn," he states as I look at him, "Plus I don't really want you to sit there."

I laugh at Madelyn's shocked expression and the little noise she made. She storms off toward the table on the other side of the room.

~Ͼ~

I rush off to lunch cause I heard that there will be pizza. God I love pizza!!! I quickly get my food and sit down at an empty table. As soon as I take my first bite of my pizza a boy sits across from me. He has sky blue eyes and sandy blonde hair. He is tall and lanky.

"I'm Spencer Collins." he holds out his hand for me to shake.

"You're Mr. Collins' son?" I take his hand.

"No, he's my uncle," he blushes.

"Aww, you're so cute when you blush!" I say excitedly.

All of a sudden a growl erupts from behind me. I turn around to find Darin standing behind me glaring at Spencer. I glare at Darin for glaring at my new friend. Darin looks at me with jealousy written all over his face. I turn back to Spencer and smile but he is staring at Darin in shock. I hear Darin walk away and notice Spencer staring after him. At his ass!!!!! Then it clicks!

"You like guys don't you?" I whisper so no one else can here.

Spencer looks at me with shock then blushes and nods.

"Omigoddess! Does anyone else know?" I ask, shaking with excitement.

He shakes his head, "No, you're the only one to figure it out."

"You don't want anyone to know?" I meant it as a statement but it came out as a question.

He shakes his head, "No, if people found out here then I will be beaten. Just like at my old school." he said the last part to himself.

I feel sorry for him but I understand. I had to leave my old school because of bullying. Okay! Fine! I was sort of the bully. But in my defense, she was harassing one of my friends, so I beat the living shit out of her. Also in my defense, she threw the first punch so I punched back. But anyways I was expelled and she just got suspended. The stupid principle said it was my fault, but I think that the bitch was fucking him and he didn't want to get rid of his play thing.

Well now I'm in a new town, a new house, and a new school. It wasn't my first time moving and dad said we were going to have to move again soon so it really didn't matter to me. Dad says that he just can't keep a job but I think he is running from someone. But it is none of my business, as long as I keep getting an education than everyone is happy.

~Ͼ~

After a long day of torture from the damn educational system I finally get to go home. Yay! Not! There is nothing to do there, but keep unpacking and clean. I guess I can go look around in the woods behind the house. After the long drive back I decide I will go for a run in the woods. I walk into the empty house and toss my backpack on to the couch before heading out the sliding glass door that is in the kitchen. I start striping and change into my wolf form.

Did I not mention that my father and I are werewolves? Sorry about that. Well technically my father is a wolf and I'm half wolf cause my mother was a witch. My mother died when I was eight from a car accident. Since then we have never stayed in the same place for longer than a year.

I run into the woods and yip at the feel of the moist dirt under my paws. I run until I come to a small lake with crystal clear water. I take a drink of the water when I hear a twig snap. I whirl around to face a pure black wolf with green eyes that remind me of Darin's. Then it snaps, this is Darin!

I get into an attack stance and growl at him. He looks at me weirdly as if I'm crazy. I am taken back when more wolves come out behind him. A soft brown wolf with green eyes growls at me, but is silenced when Darin snaps at her. I only know that she is a she is because females tend to be smaller than males in wolf form. Darin runs back in to the trees leaving me with his pack. He comes back in a pair of jeans holding a shirt. He holds out the shirt to me. I look at him as if he was crazy.
