Wolves by Ash Faith (ebook reader 7 inch .TXT) 📖

the front wall door and window all in half. “One favour” he said closing my agape mouth and motioning to follow him as he began to run, I ran with him but I had so many questions in my head “How?” was all I managed to get out as we ran through the woods of course, how cliché, a creepy old house filled with murderous freaks in the middle of the woods. “all I ask of you is that you understand you are safe with me now, and I will answer all of your questions when we get back to my place okay?” I was still left speechless, I mean, the dude just practically smashed a house with one fucking hand but I managed to nod.

Great, more running.

“Can I just ask one question” I said breaking the silence, puffing from running for like half an hour through the woods with the bartender.

“Uhm, sure ask away” he said how the hell was he not puffed yet he must be in Hella shape.

“What’s your name?” I asked. If I wasn’t able to inquire about the weird shit, I might as well know my saviour’s name.

“Kade” he said “Kade Samuels”

“Right” I said, “Well you can call me Lana” “Lana Faye” I mocked.

We reached the end of the endless seeming woods and the sun was blazing bright as we steadied to a walk onto the path, oh the sweet, sweet relief of walking on a cement pathway, running in a forest for a good hour ruins you I guess, well maybe just me considering Kade looked completely fine while I was a puffing mess.

Kade smiled “Okay ‘Lana’ I presume you think we’re going to the bar, right?” I felt my eyebrows furrow together “Where else would we go?” a look of offense took to his face for a second and then he settled back to his normal calm face “You do know I don’t live in the bar right? I have a home” he said. “Oops yeah sorry, I have a bit of a big mouth, if you saw what was going on in that house it gets me places” I said apologetically. not good places.

He sighed “So, Lana, you’re missing your friend, yes?” oh my god, I’d almost forgotten about Julie-Anne. “Oh, god yeah, how’s she doing, she’s still in the room sleeping at the bar right” I stopped for a brief second to smell the glorious smell coming from a café and then continued walking alongside Kade looked at me confused and his forehead crumpled in confusion “No, remember I took her last night” fuck, Now I’m confused “I’m sorry, I don’t remember you coming into the room to get her” Kade stopped and turned to look at me “What are you talking about? You guys were barely in the room for five minutes before you came to the woods and you fought the alpha” he stared into my eyes “Oh my god” he said in shock “You’re-“ he choked up on his words “Okay we need to go faster” he spoke in an alarmed voice which turned my curiosity into fear, what the fuck is he going on about?! Am I high or some shit, did I get roofied last night or something? My mind racing and the alarms in my head were going off as I stood in the middle of the walkway like a dumbass and Kade was now on the phone to someone speaking seriously. Kade quickly finished off the call and stood beside me silently facing the end of the street where a slick black car turned around the corner and headed straight for us, it stopped right in front of us and the tinted window on rolled down to reveal a ravishing 30 or so old man with a clean shave and a fancy suit. Still completely gobsmacked I said nothing as Kade motioned me to get in the back of the Mercedes Benz with him. The car started to drive off and you could cut the silence with a knife. As I was left alone with my mind I realised that I’d probably seriously injured the people who’d tried to attack me. No doubt the chick who got the lamp stuck into her shoulder would probably be permanently injured and I’d seen people get throat punched before in movies and immediately die but that was also a movie but still. Arguing over this isn’t going to get you anywhere My conscious spoke up finally and I realised it was right. If I was going to be free and safe I needed to ask Mr Kade Samuels some questions and he was going to answer no matter what rules he tries to play on me. I sat silently trying to map out my questions but was rudely interrupted as the car stopped and the door was flung open by the driver. I gave him a small thank you and he just nodded and fake smiled with a blank emotion in his eyes. Okayyy then. I lifted myself out of the comfortable leather seat and felt the door close swiftly behind me and the driver get back in the car to drive away.

“So-“ I started

“No” Kade said as he appeared out of nowhere right next to me.

“Shit!” I screamed “Don’t sneak up on me like that!” as I calmed myself down he just shrugged his shoulders and turned around to start walking in the opposite direction. I quickly turned around to walk after him. Where were we? I thought as I took in my surroundings. It was more woods. Great. I think I might be permanently have a hate for woods and forests now.

“Where are we going now?” I asked

“To my house.” Did he have to speak so god damn blankly?

“In the middle of the woods?”

He didn’t reply. But I continued asking anyway.

“Who was that guy in the fancy suit?”

No reply. Again. This just agitated me more. Two can play at that game.

I stopped abruptly. “Where’s Julie? You said you took her, tell me what you’ve done with her or I won’t go any further on this crazy ass ‘adventure’ of yours” he stopped and turned his head over his shoulder. “If you don’t go any further, that’s fine by me, you can die at the hands of Mason and his crew, I believe they’ll be especially upset that you lodged different parts of their furniture into their bodies.” He continued walking. oh, come on, he was really stepping over my line now and I was getting pissed. If he’s my only chance I think I’m going to die a lot earlier than expected I sighed and followed him. I started to worry as I remembered what he said earlier, the things he said reminded me of the super realistic creepy dream I had. It had felt so real. I realised he was still wearing his bar-wear; a black suit with a tiny little white label saying, “Samuel’s Bar” and had an image of a glass of crimson red wine in a wine glass tilted slightly to the side like it was about to spill. His clothes matched the person I imagined flying and taking Julie’s crumpled body in my dream. I shook my head there’s no way in hell it was real, only chuck Norris can fight a bear first of all and I sure as hell am not Chuck Norris. I decided to take my mind off all the madness going on and remembered that I’d promised Judy Jennifer to come back to our original hotel around 10 or 11 am, shit, she’s going to kill me. I was so not ready to be almost killed Again. I whipped out my phone from my back pocket of my now-dirty and slightly ripped skinny jeans and dialled Judy’s number, which had called me 12 times without me realising even though it was only 4 minutes after 11am. Crazy bitch. She picked up almost immediately. “Where the hell are you two?!” her voice squeaked as she shrieked through the phone making my ears feel like they were bleeding. “Uhm, Me and Julie are-“ I looked at Kade who was a good 20 or so metres ahead of me. “We’re staying at a friend’s place, we’ll be here for a while so don’t expect us to be back for maybe a couple of days” She seemed to have calmed down by now.

“Okay, tell me the address” She said calmly. Uhm, shit.

“Sorry got to go!” I said quickly and hung up as quick as possible. Kade was now about 30 metres ahead of me but he had stopped and was just standing there, in the middle of two giant oak trees.

“You didn’t tell me you had your phone on you” he said in a terrifyingly calm and aggressive tone. He turned around. He’s so far away, how the hell did he even hear me on the phone.

“I, um, didn’t think to tell you” I said with a weary voice as he quickly paced over to my frozen still body. He gave off the most dangerous vibe now that he wanted to. What have I got myself into...

He reached me quicker than should have been possible and grabbed my phone out of my hand, dropped it on the ground, stamped his foot on it, grabbed the shattered pieces of my once-upon-a-time Nokia and threw them, scattering the pieces over the trees and forest floor. “Hey! What the hell was that for! I’m not some fugitive!” though I felt like one.

“Mason for some reason wanted you badly, little wolf, so if I were you do not take any more chances. He and his crew know how to find something they want.” He still had part of the venomous tone but seemed to have calmed down a sense more. Out of all the weird things he called me, little wolf is by far the weirdest. I just shook off the weird name and continued my questioning.

“So, Mason is the name of the creep who stalked me in your bar and eventually somehow had me end up in his place with his ‘crew’” I said confused and trying to piece together everything.

“Yes, but he wasn’t in my bar last night” Kade looked at me like I was crazy.

“No, He was, I remember him exactly, He was there in the corner and kept watching me after I came out of the bathroom and you told him to leave when you closed up.” Still confused. The pieces seemed to fall apart, nothing made sense enough for it to be fit together.

“I only saw an old ma-“ Realisation and anger crossed his face suddenly and he closed his mouth hard. Gritting his teeth, he was beginning to give off the dangerous vibe again and I think I might shit my pants if he aimed it at me again.

“Hey, um, Kade, can we just hurry up and get to wherever the hell we’re going, I remember a doctor-woman saying I had a broken ankle and a possible fractured rib which apparently were both swollen so...” I looked down to see the damage my ankle supposedly had.

“What do you mean, you’ve healed already” He spoke calmly like it was natural to
