In The Dark by Isabella O'Brien (librera reader txt) 📕

don't know what my classes are?" I asked making sure I was heard loud and clear for her old ears. "Oh yes my dear, let me just get your name." she said and she begin to type on the computer with only her index fingers. "Rosalina Marie Veradean, I'm a senior." I stated. I turned to man was still standing by the front desk. "Thank you so much" I said to the man who looked almost like a student if it hadn't been for his teacher ID card. "No promblem, between you and me she was supposed to retire ten years ago but she probably forgot" he said whispering to me still with a smile on his face. " I heard that." The old lady behind the desk said not looking up from her computer. I begin to laugh when I noticed he had started to walk away. " oh here it is child if you just go around to their there's a printer and it's printing out your schedule" she said as she pointed down another long hallway in the office. " thank you so much." I said as I walked away to go get my schedule. 

When I looked at the time I had realized class would be starting in less than 5 minutes. I stood outside the main office looking at my schedule and looking up at map that was duck taped to the wall. My first class was Earth and space studies room E109. Are began walking down the hallway looking for the room. My ears were suddenly filled with a loud ringing noise that must have been the Bell. I saw all the students run to their classes leaving me not knowing where to go. I've been finally found a room and walked in the teacher had already started their lesson. I walked in quietly and awkwardly as the rest of the class stared. I was surprised to see the same man from the office in the front of the classroom. "Just please take a seat Rosalina" he said gesturing to a seat in the back. I gave him a weak smile and be going to take my seat. Earth and space studies flew by and surprisingly I knew some of the lesson already from my previous School. 

The rest of the day dragged on. The same awkward tension when I walk into a room filled with kids I did not know. It was finally 6th period which happen to be my favorit class, lunch. I got my tray and put a salad and water on it. I walked around the large cafeteria as it began to fill up not knowing where to sit. I felt a tug on my arm and suddenly I was sitting down at a table where I knew no one. "Just here and stop wandering around like a lost puppy" a girl said with a smile. She had long blonde hair that flowed like a waterfall. She had on  tight grey sweatshirt  and was wearing light blue skinny jeans. I smiled and looked around at the table that was filled with people. "Im Jessie and this is Ryan, Brice, Kyle and Autumn. And you are Rosalina right?" "Just Rosa" I said happy that someone finally talked to me. Lunch was just about the only thing that happened that was good so far today. Me and Jesse swap schedules. Comes to find out she's in most of my classes. I felt relieved knowing that I finally had someone to talk to someone that didn't make me feel so alone. After lunch I was free to go home. 

I played with my car keys as I begain to walk out of the School. I had then realized all the cars except mine and three others hadnt left the parking lot. When I walked up to my car I went to put my keys in the Keyhole missing and making my keys fell to the ground. As I leaned down to pick him up I saw someone walking up to my car. As i stood up I came into contact with a beautiful man. He had dark brown hair that wasnt to long but scoffy looking. His eyes a sea blue that made me want to go for a swim even though it was November. He work a dark gray plain short sleeve shirt  that cuffed his strong muscled arms. He had on dark blue jeans and black worker boots that completed his look. He sored over me at a height of at least 6'10 making him appear enormous compared to me being only 5'3. Our eyes met and I felt an instant haze come over me. I'm not the type of gjrl to swoon over every guy that comes into contact with, but there was something about him. As he got closer I brelized his eyes had changed to dark dark black almost. I most of looked pretty stupid when he walked right past me and into his car.

I jumped in the car and slumped down in my seat in embarrassment. I put the key into ignition that brought my car to life. I then begin to drive away from the school when I heard a weird noise coming from my car engine. It wasn't that long of a car ride but I knew it would be a far walk my car on the side of the road broken down. I felt so helpless phone was dead my car was dead and I knew no one would be around these back streets anytime soon.

 

Why Me

 The smoke from my car flew into the air. I could feel the breeze and it's cold grip. I know the sun will be down soon. I know I did not want to be alone in the Woods by myself at night. My only option was to go down the street and see if I could spot any houses. The Sun set quickly and the night air filled my lungs. Walking down the street pass I spotted a set of headlights in the distance. 'finally' I thought to myself. I began to wave my arms above my head to get the cars attention. But the car continued on driving past me past my broken down Dodge. I felt steam coming out of my nose and ears. 'I cannot believe what kind of fucken asshole just keeps on driving leaving me all alone. What a dick.' l thought. 

I continued on walking hoping that someone else will pass by and some would have the decency to stop. I could hear rustling and cracking in the woods near me. I knew I wasn't alone.

Out of the shadows of the dark forest leeped a large creature. What ever it was, was bigger then any bear I had seen. It growled a low deep growl from the back of its throat. I felt the cold chill come over by body looking into its yellow eyes. It almost reassembled a dog. It showed all its teeth and I instantly felt warm as on fire by its bright yellow eyes. I felt every muscle i had tense up I stared through me. I felt it's large paw swat me to the other side of the road. My back against a tree as I layed on my side ways in the street. I could feel the thing come closer as with every step I saw pebbles fly up from the ground. I felt the warms of my blood come rushing down my head. I closed my eyes if ready to die. 'Is this what i deserved for abandoning my mother in the city?' I thought as I knew I was going to die. I felt the warm breath of the creature on my face. I took a deep breath waiting for what ever this thing is to devour me. I heard a swift sound. As if a small plane had landed next to me. I felt my eyes grow heavy with every blank it grew harder and harder to keep my eyes open. I saw a large brown figure just like the creature that had spatted me across the road. I felt as if I was seeing double. They were fighting eachother going back and forth biting at each others legs. Everything begin to get hazy and fuzzy I was drifting off. 

I awoke laying in a large bed that had no way reassembled mine. I became confused and glimpses of last nights attack replayed in my head. I could hear voices outside the great big wooden door. 

"You weren't there, you have no idea what happened. It wasn't her fault that she was attacked." A low voice growled. "Are you telling the truth or are you protecting something not yet claimed?!" another voice hissed. "You want me to give you a better reason as to why I stopped you from killing her fine. I claim her as mine!" the man yelled. I listened not quite understanding what was going on yet. "You can't claim her with out her feeling the same way. Clean this mess up or I will." the other voice commanded. "No. Please. I think I might love her. I think she is my mate. Please don't take her away!" the voice pleaded. "Jay your my brother and if you really think you love her I will spare her. But this better not come back and bite me on the ass." I could hear a set of footsteps walk away. The door knob began to rattled and move side to side as if someone were coming inside the room. I quickly ducked underneath the covers and pretended like I was sleeping in fear of who was coming in the room. As the door shut I could hear the heavy foot steps come closer and closer to the bed. 

I knew my chance was coming so I sprang up from the bed not wasting any time. I flung the door open and ran down the stairs to the front door. I began to run through the woods running while tears flow down my face. I stopped about five minutes into my run to catch my breath and look back. Believing I had created some distance between me and the House of Horrors I had escaped from. Before I knew it I was about to get back to running when I felt a pull at my waist. I let out a scream hoping that someone could hear me and save me this. I felt a hand over my mouth. "Shhhh please, you'll wake the rest of my pack!" The deep voice commanded. I did as he asked in hopes he would let me go. He moved his hand from my mouth to better hold me by my waist. I began to thrash myself in hopes he would lose his grip on me but it only tightened. "Please stop! Your okay I promise Im not going to hurt you or let anyone else hurt you." As strange as it was I believe him. I began to settle in his arms. But he did not let me go. "Im going to take you back to my house and we're going to talk about what happened on the road. Okay?" he
