Wolf Moon Chap 6
#8 of Wolf Moon
Chapter 6
I had Kaleb on lookout for Spencer. It's been three days of endless searching and no luck. I've been working so hard I haven't slept or even talk to Alice. I was sleeping in English when Alice woke me up. She looked down at me with disappointment.
"Why are you so busy lately?" She asked.
"Just some wolf business" See was still staring as if she knew I was lying to her.
"Quit lying to me" I guess she did know.
"I can't talk about it" I replied.
"Why not?" her anger was growing but so was mine.
"I just can't" I yelled as everyone stared at us.
"If you need to yell take it outside the class" Ms. Miller said. She was a nice teacher most would have just written us up. It also helped that she was a werewolf and probably didn't want to piss off her leader.
"I'm going to the office" I said.
"Fine just read chapters eight through twenty" She went back to the board.
I left at the class and by the time I got to the stairs I heard the door close again. The steps sounded like Alice.
"Would you stop and look at me?" she sounded quite but firm.
"What" I asked back.
"If you won't tell me will you at least come over this weekend and relax" she said just stared at me.
"Um .... Sure I'll come over tonight. Is your family going to be there?" I said kind of surprised she didn't try to pry it out of me.
"Nope that's why I asked I didn't want to be by myself" she said honestly.
"Come on lets go to the stadium" I said as she walked closer to me.
The football team was practicing so I knew the coaches wouldn't notice us. I could hear them yelling "If the Saints can do it so can we." Louisiana had been in an uproar since the Super Bowl. Personally I didn't care. I did care about sports that much. I played forward in soccer for three years but that was it. I remember when the football coaches wanted me to play on the football team. They bothered me my first two years during P.E. but I was free from that now.
"So are you ever going to talk about what's going on with you" she was looking at me with concern.
"I just don't want to get you involved." I responded
"You wouldn't have to worry if you would turn me into a werewolf." She said with sarcasm.
"Wait until we graduate next year" I said but I could tell she wasn't going to let go of it.
The bell rang and school ended. We headed toward the parking lot. I kissed Alice goodbye and went to my car.
I went home and got ready to go to Alice's house. I went into the kitchen to talk to my mom.
"Mom I'm going to Alice's this weekend."I said as she started to giggle
"Well don't be a fool wrap your tool." She said as I started to blush
"Would you quit it's not like that" I was so embarrassed.
"I'm just picking on you" she said
"Ya you pick too much though" I yelled walking into my room. I got my clothes ready then called Kaleb to tell him about this weekend. It went straight to voicemail. So I called the base and they said he never came in. Then I got a call and I answered and it was Kaleb but a different number.
"Josh it's Spencer he's going after Alice I'm heading to her house." He said breathing heavily.
"What I'm on my way" I ran out the room and yelled at my mom to call the pack to give us backup.
"Where to send them" she asked.
"504 Rain Tree Trail and tell them to follow my sent" I ran out the door and didn't hear what else she had to say. I was going 90 the whole way and didn't stop for lights. I pulled up and seen Kaleb's car and went inside and smelled blood. I ran to the source in the kitchen and found Kaleb with a nasty wound on his right shoulder and left leg.
"Hey you ok" I asked trying to put pressure on the wounds.
"I'm sorry I didn't get here fast enough" He said apologizing for something that wasn't his fault.
"No I'm sorry I should have been here sooner."I said
"I'm fine it'll heal in an hour just go" he said rushing me.
"Back up is on the way just hang on" I assured him.
I picked up their scent going toward the woods. Towards a spot I knew all too well. It was me and Spencer's spot. It was a small clearing near the basin. I looked around then up and saw them.
"Spencer let her go now" I yelled
"Or what" he retaliated
"Don't make me kill you" I said as my anger grew.
"You'd kill you best friend" he said with a smile.
"No my friend died when he turned into a monster" I could feel my body wanting to change.
"A monster look who's talking" he said while jumping down "Would you kill me for this whore"
"Don't you insult her" My claws were growing.
"Look at yourself you can't even control yourself" he laughed.
Hades formed in my hand and he threw Alice at me. I caught her and set her down by a tree.
"I knew you would come for me" she said crying
"Is Kaleb Ok?" she said between the sobs.
"Ya he's fine" I turned towards Spencer. "That reminds me you would attack a friend"
"He was like you a liar" he yelled with anger in his eyes.
He came rushing at me with a silver blade. I blocked and counted.
He flipped out of the way and kept swinging. I dodged and slashed.
"I see you aren't going to hold back" he said between slashes.
"You aren't so why should I" I replied as a slashed.
Then Persephone formed and I fired. He dodged with ease but didn't have enough time to block or dodge my sword. He now had a large gash across his chest.
"It seems that even with more power you still can't defeat me" I said.
"If I go down I'm not going alone" he started to run towards me. I slashed but he jumped and ran toward Alice.
"Stop I give up just leave her ..." I was cut off.
"Nope I want to take what matters most to you" he now was grinning. I could now see that he had changed. His dark brown hair had turned black. His eyes became blood red. His body was now slightly larger. His mouth opened and was getting closer to her neck. Then out of nowhere a bullet hit his shoulder and Alice flew into the air. I took this chance to get Alice.
"You didn't think I would get you back did you?" I turned to see Kaleb with a pistol.
"Thanks man" I told him as I put Alice next to him.
"Spencer it's time to end this" I yelled to him.
"Well I'm not going down easily" he replied.
He ran towards me and me towards him. The blade pieced his heart and ended his life.
"It seems I've lost again" he said while fading to ash.
"I'm sorry it had to end like this" I told him.
"Why are you sorry" he asked.
"Because this is my fault" I answered.
He just laughed as the ash blew away. It was now just me, Kaleb, and Alice in the empty clearing.
