Chasing Dreams

Chapter Seven

Kassidy P.O.V

The plane shook as it lifted from the ground, it's Landing gear folding up and disappearing into the plane. Jade squealed as the plane got higher.

I cleared my mind of Matt and Jason's threats and joined in squealing in excitement as we gained altitude. Feeling a hole inside of me as the plane leveled out going straight forward, the exciting part was over. I sat in silence for the whole way. Occasionally checking up on Jade and Yvi. Hours had passed and being third class, we had beans and a muffin for our in flight-meals. It was endless. Hours passed like seconds. Never ending border. lightheartedness. But I was still excited. Suddenly the plane tipped slightly forwards.

"This is your Captain speaking, we are coming in for landing in Tokyo" a few people cheered in relief. I grabbed Jades bag and pushed my gun further into my pocket. Hidden from anybody's sight. We left the plane and walked down a corridor with Japanese written on signs and other places. It was an odd experience. On the plane though we got time to read from the handy learn Japanese books, they had little information but with wolf senses we could learn better and easier. We had to ask a member of staff for assistance on where the bag collection unit was. She showed us to where it was,and we stood there for a while. When the bags came down on the conveyor belt I hauled them off and we exited the airport, no clue where to go. There was a bus stop outside though so we waited. For ages.

"If a bloody bus doesn’t come around the corner right now I will kill someone" I said. We decided to walk the way the traffic was coming and were met by a fabulous sight. Tokyo. Towering skyscrapers brushing against the clouds, lined up in long rows. We immediately set off sighting a large sign reading Pod Hotel.

"What's a 'Pod Hotel'?" Yvi said.

"I don't know I guess I'll find out" I said carelessly. We made our way until the sign was above our heads in the reception we asked for a room and a lady led us to a lit-up room, interesting music played in the background.

"One-way Radio, singing a song by Tiffany" a radio called. Surprisingly there was a large room full of bunk bed like cabinets with thick duvets and a bath room attached to each one.

"How are we meant to sleep in those" I said pointing in disgrace.

"Like this" the woman said extending an arm. She handed me our pod key and we climbed up the ladder. We explored the technology of our Pod. We settled down for a sleep when I could sense a familiar smell approaching our Pod. I fished the gun out of my pocket, gripping it quickly. I sat up quickly and pointed the gun at the unsuspecting person below me.

"I knew someone might recognize me" the voice spoke, I snarled. Rory. Jade woke up screaming as she recognized the smell too. Yvi woke up clutching his chest. Yvi shifted not caring about the sleeping guests in the pod next to us. Yvi began mauling at Rory.

"No, I'm not here to fight I'm here for......Jade" he said, as Jade cried heavily. Rory popped a sweet into his mouth. "Return to me my darling......your scent intoxicates my nostrils....I know mine doe stop" he called to her. I growled pressing my finger harder on to the trigger. He fell back. Spluttering, coughing, blood trickling out of his mouth a smirk still present on his dying face.

"I will see you Jade.......I will......In hell?...... In heaven" he spoke. I turned my head to Jade a gun was in her hand shaking.We couldn't stay here long there'd be investigations and we could end up in jail. Jade was zoned out from humanity. Yvi lifted her up and I towed the suitcases out running and running. She was hanging on to his chest, crying,half asleep. We ran until we reached a bus stop. If no bus stopped for us on a busy Evening on Saturday, then it was extremely unlikely that one would stop now.2 in the morning. We rested on the bench for a while then decided to keep moving. When a man pulled up beside us he was driving a mini bus and had a cheerful expression on his face. He frowned when he saw us.

"You okay?" He asked. Thank god he spoke English. It appeared to be a small tour bus.

"Fine just lost, cold, frightened, hungry, and exhausted." I said truthfully.

"Is she okay?" He questioned further.

"She's passed out on us" Yvi said upset at his tired face.

"Oh, dear we can't have that! Come aboard there's two seats empty and I'm sure she could lie across your laps." He said. "I run a small tour bus company, here in Tokyo and we are going to an English-speaking hotel if that's any help. I can't pay for you, but I can get you some help at least." He spoke, continuing.

"Thank you so much you are the kindest person I've met!" I said smiling a whopper of a smile, reserved for only the happiest moments. We hopped on the bus, using the handle to climb upwards. Yvi sat by the window and I sat next him. Jade lay across our body's the ran bouncing off the paper-thin Windows. My phone buzzed. I read a text.

Unknown: They're tracking you with your phone Kassidy, you must get rid of it.... NOW

----Ezma----

I shuddered.

"I think I left my coat outside; can I go get it?" I asked.

"Of course," the driver spoke as I slid Jade off my lap and on to Yvi's. "The names Dylan by the way" he said smiling. I nodded smiling back. When I got off I carefully positioned the phone under the buses tire. I hopped back on.

"Oh, it must be in the suitcase never mind." I said. I slammed the sliding door shut. As the bus rolled forwards I heard a small satisfying crunch. That problems solved. Jade rubbed her eyes sleepily.

"I didn't kill him right.... It was-" she began.

"Shh!" I said. She stuck her tongue out.

"I didn't really kill him it was........just a few scratches,right?" Jade pleaded.

"You killed him" I said. She was tired out, crying, I couldn't lie to her. I was aching to shift. My position as the beta’s daughter put a lot of stress on me and I didn't shift a lot. The bus swung around a corner, and plummeted forwards. An acute beach was in sight with a small modern hotel to the left of it. When we jolted to a stop Dylan shouted that he would see us later and we were off. I approached the hotel the suitcases wheels squeaking. I went to the door following the crowd of tourists inside. There was a bored looking receptionist and a doorman. I approached the receptionist, a queue forming in front of the desk. I pushed forwards.

"Can I have a room for three, please?" I asked.

"Yes" the receptionist groaned. She handed me a key and weakly smiled. I waltzed off, with the key, Yvi following behind me with Jade in his arms. We were apparently on floor two, and after making our way up the stairs. I gripped the handle and turned the key in the door. The room was lit up, creme walls and a balcony, with blue duvets and a pink cherry tree just blossoming outside. It was absolute bliss. Yvi gently placed Jade on the bed.

"I'm starving, I'll book us breakfast for tomorrow, you get to sleep it's like 3 in the morning now" I said my stomach growling.

"Alright, I'll see if I can find anything in the room"Yvi said. I walked out the room and went downstairs again talking to the grim receptionist. I made reservations for tomorrow's breakfast and dinner (we could have lunch somewhere else). I patterned upstairs and slept on the couch seen as Yvi and Jade took the bed. Yvi had left a note on the table.

Kassidy, I have found a mini fridge in the room it hasn't got much inside it but I left some for you >>>

I looked where the arrows pointed there was a small cupboard with a dark handle. I opened it and I heard the faint whir of the fridge fan and cool breeze beating down on my neck. Inside was a yogurt and a Coca-Cola.I sipped happily not dating to turn on the TV in case I wake up Jade and Yvi. I went on to the balcony and relaxed staring deep into the night. When it started to get bright again I went back to the couch and slept. When I woke up it was about eight in the morning Jade was already up and brushing her hair. I had no clothes to change into and Breakfast starts at eight and finishes at ten. I borrowed a pair of jeans and loose top from Jade whilst Yvi snored his head off.

"I've booked our dinner as well we should have reserved seats. We can go somewhere else for lunch if you want to?" Jade nodded brushing her hair again.

"How long are we staying here?" Jade asked as Yvi rubbed his head standing up dizzy. He went to the bathroom.

"I don't know for sure I booked us for the week, we can find a cheap apartment nearby?" I said, I had been using Jades phone to search for any possible places we could go. Jade dropped the hair brush and began reading another page of "Japanese Literature"

"I'm not fussed, as long as we don't get involved with Rory's death......." She shed a tear, out of pure shame.

"It was the right thing" I said trying to reassure her.

"No it wasn't, he was my mate, and so's Yvi I have a....."She lowered her voice. "......Connection with both of them" She looked with sad eyes.

"Perk up! I thought Mason was my Mate at first and even after he died I still feel a connection with him" I said sighing. I thought of his head in Jason's mouth the blood trickling out......is it weird that I feel a rush of adrenaline from that? From his limp body? From Jason's jaw slashing through his flesh? From Masons pleasing face? I couldn't tell but I didn't want to think about it. Jade was clicking her fingers in front of my face now.

"Kass?!?" She said loudly. I snapped out of it.

"Let's go to Breakfast" I said. Jade sighed. I smiled weakly, then my face lit up. "Why don't we go shopping after this? I haven't got any clothes now, and we all deserve a day on the beach, we can have lunch there?" I said. Jade grinned.

"Definitely my Kassidy!" She laughed. Yvi skipped out the bathroom.

"I'm so hungry!!!! Let's go now!!!" He said clutching his stomach tightly. After knocking on the dining room door, the doorman opened the door and greeted us kindly. We sat in our reserved seats and were told it was a buffet. We got up and with our wristbands we got free food. I stuffed my mouths taking lots of fruit and biscuits and putting them in Jades handbag, so we had midnight snacks. We both sniggered as we stuffed the bag full zipping it up and sticking some in our pockets! We made our way through Tokyo not too far from our hotel. Practicing Japanese the whole way, we were met with a gift-shop.

"Bikinis!" I squealed like a child, so happy I was finally getting something decent to wear. We continued shopping carefully watching our money. We trotted back to the beach exhausted from carrying bags.We just lay down relaxing. After a couple of hours, we went back to our room.We munched on some of our stolen goods from the buffet. It was like this everyday until Saturday.

"Come on let's go back upstairs, we can get something better to wear" Jade said. I had arranged for us to go to the theater,after dinner, for some evening entertainment. It was all in Japanese, but we had learnt quite a lot in the past few days, and besides we didn't need to know what they were saying. Jade was chucking some of our stuff into piles. I was about to walk into our balcony, but it was barred shut.

"What the f***!?!?!" I yelled. The lights turned off and flickered back on.

"Let's just stick together, I don't know what's happening,but let's make it to reception. I'm sure someone will be there" Yvi responsibly said.

"Right" Jade said, she linked arms with me and Yvi took her hand tightly. We pushed the door open. The lights were still on but were flickering now and again. Something touched my back.

"ARGHHHH!" I screamed, my pistol in my pocket.

"Don't worry! It's just us! Were tourists here! Just like you!" They shouted back.

"I'm really sorry you scared us" Yvi said.

"Do you know what's happening?" The woman asked.

"No idea. We're heading to reception together please come with us" Jade spoke shivering.

"I will of course follow you. I am terrified myself......my balcony doors have been locked shut and boarded up, same goes for all my windows" she said staring at us.

"We had that too. It's confusing me" I whispered. We stared through the awkward silence as we stumbled down the stairs.

"Jade can I have your phone maybe we can call someone"I whispered gently tapping her back.

" Of course," she said handing her phone to me. She had put it on silent and turned the brightness down a notch.

"Who goes there!!! No one messes with my vacation!!!"A middle-aged man and his older accomplice walked out their room a flashlight at hand. The woman looked embarrassed holding on to the man’s arms. More and more people came out of their rooms calling for assistance. When we made it to reception the staff were not there. We tried all the doors, but they were barred up and the Windows the same. We all sat in a circle for the last hour,flash lights on as we fell into total darkness. We talked worriedly as we tried to get a hold of the emergency services. No reply the line was dead. The megaphone crackled and turned on.

"Oh my god!" Someone people said including me as my gun poked out my pocket. Jade was clinging on to Yvi who was clinging on to me.The megaphone started up.

"I don't care if I have to drag you screaming drowning in your own blood........" People screamed some turning insane-like banging and scratching on the doors and windows.

"I don't care if you beg and plead and I kill every single one of your loved ones......." Mores screams erupted some sticking their hands in their ears. "I will take you back........I will keep you forever until you die.........So I'm giving you a minute to come with me before I shift and........well.......... You know what'll happen next......." I narrowed the possibilities of who it could be down to two people. Jason. And Matt. A few people shook their heads at the word shift. I sat in silence the minute had passed already. The most all mighty roar could be heard.

"Don't want to come to me now.........Kassidy" They spoke. "Your friends can come" I didn't say a word pointing my gun left to right.

"Fine......I've always dreamed of torturing someone this way.........you have a day.... oh, and everyone do enjoy going insane.... I’ve already taken someone" they continued. Many people screamed but the loudest of all was the middle-aged man who we had met earlier.

"Jane!!!! Somebody help please!!!!! Jade's gone!!! IT WAS HIM!!!!!!" He yelled at the top of his voice, mad. People were losing it already.

"THAT'S IT!" I yelled silencing everyone. They all looked at me. "Me, Jade and Yvi can transform.... into wolfs" I said.They all laughed expect the woman we had met upstairs. We all transformed. They all screamed louder. We changed back. "Be live me now? That man can do that to.... I am Kassidy.......he's after me" Many people tried to grab me but the we had met, Jade and Yvi fended them off. "I know it's terrifying but if I hand myself in, he might kill more of you..." I said sadly. I was about to speak when the woman we had met on the stairs spoke out.

"I am Layla......I believe in them....it may be crazy but I do....in my heart I figured out some amazing way.... how to believe them.......This man is after Kassidy so we must defend her are you with me?" She said. Everyone screamed once more as Yvi slipped away.

"Tick Tock Tick Tock" They yelled. Jade was screaming.Layla began rounding up everyone quickly and pushing them into the dining room closing the door shut.

"Is She okay" Layla spoke pointing out Jade who was on the floor shivering. She hiccuped through deep snorts. Tears falling like a rapid waterfall cascading down her smooth neck.

"He touched me.... he swooshes past me like fog...."She panted. Layla patted her back softly swooning to her. Sudden gasps of emotion filled the dining room as, yet another person was taken.

"I'm handing myself in" I said giving up. I couldn't cause these people more trauma, more death. The fear of death was worse than death himself.

"No you’re not...don't be inane he's trying to get inside of your head......that's all" Layla spoke rocking Jade back and forth.

"I am" I walked forwards to Layla. "Even though I don't know you very well, if I die I will remember you as a saint look after Jade. Jade please stay strong for Yvi I have high hopes he's alive" I said truthfully having a bunch he was alive. "I will try and contact you. I walked up to my room and called out.

"Hello? I am giving myself in........you may take me"I fearfully said.

"Kassidy, I can feel your fear creeping up your body.......this very second" they voice said huskily. My heart sped up."I can feel your desire to engage in this voice...... but do you want to see me?" They called. Their voice filled my body echoing out to me like a good pop song you get stuck in your head. I felt hands snake up my body and pull me in possessively. Their eyes swirled around, and their head trailed down my neck.

"Hello Kassidy" they spoke.

"Jason" I spoke, spitting the dreaded name out like a bad sweet.
