Chapter 11 CHAPTER ELEVEN
ROMAN’S POV
Mum!!! Mum!!!, I shouted running down the stairs. My mother came out of the kitchen, where she had been preparing dinner.
“What is it?””she asked.
She is gone I said, bouncing on my feet as my eyes roam around the house, my brain refusing to accept that she was no longer around.
“Who is gone? she queried.
“ Emily, I replied, she came to me, I said, explaining everything in a short hurried speech. I told her to wait, and then school and the training with the pack warriors held me back. Before I could come back, she was gone.
Emily!!! My mum asked, her hands on her hips. The new girl? I nodded my head frantically, “please we have to find her" I said, trying to hold back my tears.
“What have you done?” my mum queries, do you know that Alpha Regan has been looking for her, meanwhile you hid her in your room. What were you thinking?
“She came to me””I said, please can we discuss this later? She is out there alone and probably scared. I will receive whatever punishment you deem fit, but for now can you call dad and Alpha Regan, please!!
My mum nodded worry clouding her face as she went to the house line, calling my dad.
She glanced at me as she spoke, before ending the call. Your father will be here soon, why don’t you go upstairs to your room.
I nodded my head, before running upstairs. Her scent was still everywhere, I sat on my bed, tapping my feet. Unable to sit still, I open my window, changing into my wolf before sprinting into the dark mass of forest.
If anyone could find Emily, it should be me, as her scent was ingrained into my wolf. I sniffed the forest as I ran, trying to find her scent. After searching for about an hour, I slumped down, whining slowly.
By now, the forest was pitch black. The only source of light was the full moon, casting its warm rays through the thick forest.
I stood on alert, my ears picking up soft crying. I followed the sound, stopping in front of a cave hidden behind a thick tree. From here, I could smell Emily.
I rushed inside the cave, my eyes adjusting to the darkness.
Emily was huddled at the far corner of the cave, my blanket wrapped around her as she cried. I walked slowly towards her, I didn’t want to scare her. As if sensing me, she raised her head.
“Roman she called softly, is that you?”
I walked closer, resting close to her as I licked her face.
She giggled, rubbing my furs. I didn’t change back, instead I remained in my wolf form using my furs to keep the both of us warm. It was night time already, and I wanted to spend a few moments with her before we went back to the pack.
I am scared, Roman, she said, and I can’t remember anything.
I whine lowly, moving my body closer to her.
She hummed softly, as she ran her hands through my furs. Her voice and hands, slowing down as she drifted off to sleep.
I kept guard for a while, before I too drifted off to sleep.
The chirping sounds of birds starting their morning routine, rouse me from my sleep. My ears, picking up every sound within close proximity.
I nudged Emily, waking her up. It was time to go back, I was sure my dad and mum would be very worried.
She yawned loudly, smiling at the sight of me. Roman!!! you are here she exclaimed, excitedly. I thought it was all a dream, but you are really here.
I licked her ears, making her jump back as she giggled.
Together we stand up, leaving the cave. I nudged her, bending down, my back to her as I signified her to climb on me. She smiled, before climbing on my back, holding my furs tightly.
After making sure she was rightfully positioned, I slowly began the walk back to my pack.
We would stop occasionally, Emily jumping down my back to chase a squirrel. I lay down under a big tree, as I watched her, her laughter echoing round the forest.
Suddenly a grey wolf dashed past, I stood up quickly, running towards Emily. The grey wolf chased the squirrel, growling at Emily.
I stood in front of Emily, growling at the grey wolf who was now facing us in anger, the squirrel long forgotten.
Another wolf, this one bigger with dark furs, emerged from one of the trees. Its sharp canines reared back in an ugly snare as it growled loudly at us, standing in front of the smaller grey wolf.
I moved back, Emily whimpering softly as she stood close to me. You could clearly see the fear in both our eyes, but I stood in front of her, shielding her as I faced the dark wolf bravely.
Without warning the black wolf attacked, I pushed Emily back, using my body to withstand most of the attack as the wolf clawed its way into my back.
I howled in pain, blood dripping from my back as I tried to fight back. My dad had taught me about Rogues and how cruel they were. They attack without mercy, their only goal to kill their opponents.
I tried to fight back, my attention divided, as the grey wolf approached Emily.
I jumped back, dodging another attack from the black wolf. I run closer to Emily, guarding her from the grey wolf.
I nudged her to run, but she stood there frozen in fear as she cried.
The two wolves tackled me from both sides, one tearing into my leg as I tried to fight them off. I howled loudly, hoping that my cries would reach my pack. I was sure we were not too far from the pack border.
Suddenly, a dark furred wolf, with blood red eyes, jumped onto the dark rogue wolf, its sharp claws digging into its stomach as its teeth sank into the wolf's neck.
Me and the grey wolf froze for a while, before I turned my head. Emily was no longer where she stood, instead she was tearing into the rogue wolf.
In my distraction, the grey wolf jumped on Emily, tearing into her back as she howled, dropping the lifeless body of the dark rogue.
I attempted to go towards her, slumping down as my body collapsed. I had lost too much blood, and the adrenaline from the fight had not made me realize.
I whine weakly, watching as Emily tore into the grey wolf. The scared little girl was gone, as she fought viciously.
Eventually the grey wolf collapsed, its head torn from its body. Emily howled, before slowly walking towards me, blood dripping from the wound on her back.
She lies down close to me, and unexplainable buzz flowing through the both of us as we huddled close together. She licks my wounds slowly, my breath slowing down at how tired I was.
Roman!!!!!! Where are you!!!!! I perked my ears, finally help came I thought, before falling unconscious.
