My Twins Mate (Book III)

Chapter - 4

10 Years later

Luna P.O.V

    I was sitting in my favorite spot in the woods ash at my side and book in my lap. I looked at ash lying there patiently waiting for me to lead the way home. Ash has been with me since I was five; he looked more wolves then the dog and bigger than a dog too. He is loyal to me and I am loyal to him. He knows all of my dirty little secrets, he is the only real friend I have left. My best friend Linda and Chloe decided to leave me and Join the bimbo's group. I am the freak of the school. I tell him all my fears doubts and other things. 

 "Alright Ash, I think it is time for us to head back it's getting dark out." 

 I get up and look at Ash; he was looking at me too then gets up and stands by my side. I start heading home when I feel a chill at the back of my neck. Ash starts to growl with his hackles raised. I look around but see nothing but the chill is still there. I start to speed walk Ash staying close to my side. I feel pressure on my arm then I’m yanked down and a twisted being is on top of me. I fought as hard as I can but the thing is strong. I yell out in pain when I feel him bite me on my neck and feel my blood coming out of it... He is then pulled off of me and the last thing I see is my wolf tearing into the monster that almost killed me.

  I wake up disoriented and I feel a soft warm fur by my side. It all comes rushing back to me and I whimper. Ash must have heard me because he is now circling me trying to get me to stand up. I follow his orders and get up. He starts to push me in the direction of my house. I look around wondering where the monster was. I spot it and it looks at me with its dead, hateful, eyes. A tear slips from my eyes and I hear Ash whimper and tries to get me to move again. I follow his command trying not to notice the blood on his muzzle and fur.

 I see my house in the clearing and I head on in, not expecting anyone to be home. I strip out of my clothes and examine my wounds. They weren’t too bad a few bumps and scratches. I also found bruises along my arms and sides. I shout for ash and give him a bath. After that, I dried and walk back to my room with Ash trailing behind me. I am glad that I fight with my parents to keep him with me otherwise I would be dead meat by now. I sigh then climb into bed and shut my eyes. Before I fall asleep I feel Ash hops on my bed and carefully lies down beside me.

 I wake up to a pain in my sides and a buzzing in my ear. I shut off my alarm clock and got ready for school. 

"Ok Ash, breakfast," I yell because he is a heavy sleeper and doesn’t wake up unless food is ready. I sit at the table and think of what to do about the attack. I sit there for a moment and decide not to tell anyone. Anywho would, believe me, my friends? No, I didn’t think so. At first, I used to think that supernatural species only exist in stories and novels but I guess I was wrong. I wonder what will I am going to see in my upcoming life. I grab my bag and keys then started heading to school knowing that Ash is already doing whatever he does during the day. I don’t know why he stays with me. Oh well, he has his freedom but I am glad he decided to stay with me.

I arrive at school shivers still running down my spine from the attack. I head toward my art class and arrive 5 minutes early. I start setting up my station and wait patiently for the early. I start setting up my station and wait patiently for the class to start. People start arriving and things go as planned on a normal day. The teacher enters with a look of excitement on her face.

"Alright class, I have some very exciting news so need all of your guy's attention."

We all look up from our latest project. I feel at home in this class and can’t wait for the news.

"We are going to a wildlife sanctuary with the football team and their peppy supporters (teacher’s nickname for cheerleaders). We are leaving in a week from now so I expect permission slips to be back here before then." 

Excitement coursed through my veins at the announcement, and then fear kicked in. I raised my hand and waited for the teacher to call on me.

"Yes, Luna?"

“How long are we going to be gone?"

“For a week I think. This will be a great experience for you guys to learn the natural flow of the forest and how to learn how to catch the essence of it."

Some kid raised his hand "why are the other people going if it’s for the art club"

The teacher looked upset at that comment and answered "they are coming because the principle wanted them to learn responsibility during this trip"

We got the rest of the information regarding the camping trip and we each got a permission slip and a list of what we can and cannot bring. I dreaded this trip for two reasons. One I would have to leave my wolf and two I would have to spend the week with Kai and Samantha the schools popular, stereotypical, kids. This should be an interesting experience.
