When the wolves come knocking by Becca (best fantasy books to read TXT) 📖

run fast. As I was carried, everything blurred and I felt sick. We were only running for 5 minuits when we came to a sudden stop, and I was thrown into the backseat of a black van. My head was spinning like crazy and I had to catch my breath. The jolt of the car moving didn't help much. The one deamon, Sal was in the front driving, the other two were on both sides of me. I felt to afraid to speak, so I played it cool and leaned back aginst the seat, bringing my knees up with me. My neck was still bleeding, and I gently touched it. The blood flow was stopping. I sighed and put the head between my knees, headaches happen at the worst of times for me. Thoughts swirrled though me. I couldnt escape right now, that would do no good. Maby if we got out and started walking...Thats when the car stopped. Just stopped, like that. Sal angerly beat on the stearing wheel, and flung open the door. "Were going on foot" he growled and slammed the door. The demon on my right grabbed my shoulder and yanked me out after him. The yank hurt and I pulled back. We were outside of the car now, and I got kicked in the stomach. I flew to the ground, caughing and ghasping for air. These three were alot sronger than the last one. "You idoit, you dont want to kill her!" Sal snapped, grabbing my arm and pulling me to my feet. He turned to me now, "Dont try anything" he hissed. I flinched back reflexivly. He held onto my arm as we walked. We were near a big building, and the three looked around, as if expecting somthing to attack them. I was tired, and kept stumbling. My eyes couldnt stay open much eaither. Sal was growing more and more annoyed. 7 people walked twords us, seeming carefree. Sal quickly grabbed my hand, proubly trying to make it look less like he was kidnapping me. They all slowly walked past up, a girl, about my age, with red layered hair glimpsed at me quickly. I saw somthing else, not a carefree glint in her eyes. Just when I tought they were going to walk past up. The girl with the red hair turned twords us and struck out with a golden steak, aiming for Sal's head. He wasn't expecting that, but he managed just in time to twist away. The other kids fallowed her lead. I was being jerked around constantly, Sal trying to doge the girl with the red hair. "Stay still so you can die already" she hissed. I would have laughed, if I wasn't being held captive by a demon. I needed to help, but how? I planted my feet in the ground and elbowed Sal. His grip loosened and was distracted. The girl lashed out and struck he head. He was down and dead. I stumbled away from him, and the girl caught my arm. "Names Alice, I think I already know who you are. Thanks for the distraction" she said smiling. The other 2 demons were dead, and had the same fate as Sal had. "No problem" I said strightening up. Alice let go of me. "Okay Charolette, lets go back to the school"

Turned out that the school is where royals and protectors train and learn. Protectors, are just what the title is, they protect royals. They are humans, well kinda. They are actualy called Monix. Strong, fast, agil, but look normal. The others who were with Alice asked me questions on the way back. Their faces in awe at my story. I was blushing all the way through it. "So you were basically kidnapped from you house?" Alice asked finally. I looked down, "Yeah" I mumbled. "Thats not right, no one should have ever done that" Alice said angerly. I picked my head up and looked up at Alice. She, like everyone else was taller than me. "It is wrong, and I still don't know what my pourpuse is really". Alice nudged me, "Don't worry" she said smiling. She flipped her hair back, it was a little below her shoulders. I did a quick take on her, she proubly had guys drooling all over her I noticed.

We came through the doors of the school, people were swarming everywhere. The words 'royal' and 'princess' swarming. I groaned inwardly, no doubt the was going to be more commotion in about 5 minuints. Alice hesitated. "Better not let them see you right now, we wern't susposed to be out and I doubt you want people running you down with more questions. Lets go to Ms. Pominac" she said, heading around the crowd and down a mostly empty hall. "Who?" I asked, not getting anything from the name on who she was. "Kinda like our headmaster, she dosn't freak out like most of the nuts in this school" she said, opening a door. I looked back, the others had dropped off when we were navigating our way around the crowd. "Come on" Alice said, holding the door open. I hurried in after her. "Alice, what are you doing here? We had a trecher sent to you room to see where you were and-" the lady, I assume to be Ms. Pominac cut off as she peered around Alice and saw me. Alice had been standing there bord, as if waiting for her to stop and notice me. "But how....is that.." Ms. Pomanic had confussion all over her face, but she replaced it with a blank profesional look and said, "Just sit down and tell me what happened". I sat in the wooden chair next to Alice's.

Alice took a dramitc sigh and launched into the story, and I guessed she was skipping out on the actual sneeking out of the school part. When she finished, the room was filled with an akward silence. Ms.Pomanic picked up the phone and spoke quitly into the phone. "Someone is comming to check on you, and Lord Demetri is on his way" she said quickly. I closed my eyes and leaned back, I didn't want to see Demetri right now, I didn't want to see anyone. I wanted to go back to bed. I opened my eyes to see Alice looking at me with, what looked like she was trying to reassure me and Ms.P with sympathy. "Im fine" I said quickly. I felt the cut on my neck, it must have opened back up when the fight with Sal was going on. It wasn't pooring blood, just well, whatever it is when you bleed, but not alot. A guy walked into the room, carrying a white box, most likly a heavy duty first aid kit. Ms.P stood up, "This is Charolette" she said pointing to me,"she had a run it with deamons, you you already know" she said. Alice stood up, and I did right after her. The guy walked over to me and looked me over, eyes stopping at my neck. "Hold still a sec" he said, lifting my chin slightly and whiping it off with somthing from the first aid kit. "How did this happen" he said, not looking at me, focausing on the cut. "When they took me, they had a kinfe" I said, not moving. He nodded and placed a bandage on it. "It wasn't that deep, it should heal soon" he said, looking at me again. "Anything else?" he asked. I thought for a moment...The deamon kicked me proubly all the way across the street... I put my hand on my stomach, painn shot up through me. I hadn't felt anything before, proubly shock. "Yeah" I said, grinding my teeth and slightly pulled the bottom of my shirt up so I could see my stomach. There was already a ugly black bruse on my stomach. It looked gross, all black and purple all across it. I heard someone ghasp slightly and I looked up. "Damn.." Alice muttered. The guy touched my left hip, where the brusing was the worse. God, did it hurt. I clenched my hand into a tight fist to stop myself from moving. "I have to see if anythings' broken" he said quitely, and pressed down on the bruise. I winced but held my ground. He strightened up slowly, "Its only cracked, we can't do much about that, but you should keep ice on it" he said. I pulled my shirt back down slowly and un clenched my fists. The guy, I still don't know his name, reached into he kit, I knew he was going to give me somthing for pain or somthing like that. "I kinda already have somthing for pain" I said. He stopped and looked at me confussed. I touched the back of my head reflectivly, "Lets just say this isn't my first runin" I said, hiding my smirk.

Demetri came into the room then, and went stright to me. "Everyone was already tracking the deamons, but..." he looked at Alice. "Yes,Yes, I am the hero" she said grinning. Demetri would have glared, but he looked back at me. "Your okay now" he sighed, lightly touching my wrist. "Oh um hey, I have an awesome idea." Alice said, we all turned to her. "I was thinking, maby Char here could go to school. She would be more protected, and I doubt she knows anything about our world" she said, smiling. "Hey, Im even offering up my room, Im like the only one in the whole school without a room mate" she said. "No" Demetri said instantly. "Why?" me and Alice both said at the same time. He didn't seem to have an anwser. "I want to" I said, trying to sound pleading. He stood there thinking for what seemes like endless minuinits. "Fine" he said finally. "But" he said, looking at Alice. "She stays in your room, and you stay with her when your not in classes". Alice and me grinned at eachother. I know I just met her, but she seemed like my best firend already. "And Alice, please don't get her killed" he said turning back to her. Alice grinned and stepped over to me, putting an arm around me. "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to her" she said. Demetri shook his head, "Can I talk to you a min Char?" he said pointedly. The others left the room quitly. "Are you okay?" he asked when they left. "Yeah, fine" I said, not mentioning the cracked hip. "Good. And you don't have to stay here, if you do, don't let Alice get you in trouble" he said, placing an arm around my hip. Damnit... I jumpped up as soon as his hand touched me. I stepped back, clearly confussed. "What?" he asked. Well... I might as well say it before someone else tells him. "Okay, maby not all that fine. I kinda got kicked across a street" I mumbled, tugging the bottom of my shirt up, so you could just see the brusing. Demetris hand came twords my hip, slowly. I tugged my shirt back down. "Its fine" I said quickly. His hand dropped. "This will never happen again" he sighed. If he was trying to convince himself, or me I wasn't sure. "I can see your tired, you can stay here. We can bring your things in tomarrow" he said. He took a step twords me, lifted my chin, and kissed me. It was quick and short. "See you tomarrow" he said, and left. This is all just so wrong. Im fricken 14 hes 18. Like, a 4 year diffrence dosn't seem like much. But I would be in 8thgrade, and he would me graduating. But later on, 20 and 24 isnt a big diffrence.

Alice came through the door right after he left. "Okay, so your staying. Ill let you barrow some of my clothes
