Chapter 8:
I didn't want to let him know that I might know who he is. There were just too many similarities now that I looked back at our messages. It had to be him and if this was the only way I was going to have him involved with anything to do with me then I wasn't going to lose that on purpose.
Lonelyboy17: Wow. I don't know what this guy said to you but you sound so upset right now. I wish I could wrap my arms around you and calm you down. I fear we will never actually be able to meet. I really can't stay here knowing my heart is taken. I am so alone, I need someone, even if it is not someone I really want. At least there will be one person there for me and only me. Maybe you should talk to these people that told you stuff opposite what the guy said. Maybe you will come to find out they were lying and he is telling the truth, Or maybe you will find out he is really lying but you will never know unless you talk to people. I hope all works out for you. I am so sorry you can't tell me more and I hope I have helped the best I can. I might give it until the end of this school year before I make a final choice on what I want to do. I will let you know. Please don't be mad at whatever I choose, it would kill me.
I shut my computer and leaned back on my bed. I had to leave but I would stay a little while longer. I would still be able to talk to him as Lonely even though he would never know it was me. He was really my heart and he held it in his tiny hands. I walked around school like a zombie the next couple of days. Magic never wrote me back, I didn't try to write to him either. I knew he had a lot of things going on but it was killing me more and more. My energy was fading and my wolf was becoming still. I was starting to get scared. I needed to go to the woods and let him run. So finally after the third day of nothing from Magic I went out to the pond I was at before. I walked there because my wolf didn't seem to want to come out.
I sat at the end of the water and soaked my feet and legs in. I didn't want to leave, it was so peaceful out here. Maybe instead of going home I could find a place like this and just live there. Alone and away from everyone. I didn't want to be without Caleb but maybe it was better than being here and having him so close. I was brought out of my thoughts when I heard a noise, multiple noises behind me. Suddenly I was tackled to the ground by a large wolf. I couldn't change to fight it so I tried to just scramble away. Another one came behind me and others blocked my way. For the first time in my life I feared death. I didn't see the small one that I knew was Caleb, they must have left him behind. Suddenly Justin was standing naked in front of me and picked me up by my shirt. The other wolves just circled us.
"What, not going to change into your Wolf for us?" He asked me laughing.
"What the hell did I do now?" I tried to pull him off of me but I was weak.
" You are in our territory, remember. Every time you walk out of that school we are free to do what we want." Justin shook me after saying this. I wanted to fight, I really did but something was really really wrong with my wolf. He wasn't responding at all, all my strength was gone.
"Why are you not fighting back?" He yelled at me. The wolves started to howl and growl.
"Just let me go and I will return to the school. I'm leaving in a couple weeks so you won't have me to worry about any longer." I told him. This made him look at me for a moment.
"Really. You're just leaving? I thought you were thrown out and sent here by dear old Daddy." He asked.
"Yeah well it's time to go home and grovel. I'm done. Alright. You win." I said.
"What do you think, boys. One last beating before we let him go." He asked the wolves and they all growled in response. I was fucked. I felt Justin punch me in the stomach making me fall to the ground. The wolves pounced on me tearing at my clothes and Justin started to kick me. One wolf got on my leg and started to continuously bite down on me, I thought he was going to rip my leg apart. It hurt so bad, there was nothing I could do.
"If I find out you are still here after school ends I will come and find you and finish this." He kicked me and changed back to his wolf taking a bit out of my shoulder before he left. I was bleeding badly. I wasn't healing like I should. I couldn't move much so I went slowly to lean back against the closest tree near me. I sat there as the sun went down, blood flowing out of my wounds.
Everything hurt so bad I didn't know what to do. My wolf had gone deep inside and didn't want to come out to help. He left me on my own. I started to think about Caleb and started to cry. I was leaving him in the hands of that maniac. He was going to end up hurt in the end and I was leaving him to it. Suddenly I felt a surge of energy rush through me and the wounds began to heal. My wolf was back and pissed. He was healing me quickly and I couldn't be more thankful for when the pain ended.
"I know you want to protect him but we can't. We have to leave." I whispered to him and he howled and started to fade yet again. I was going to lose both Caleb and my wolf. I made my way back to the school and quickly took a shower before going to my room. I didn't want anyone seeing all the blood that came off of me and ask questions. I pulled my computer out and read my new message.
MagicLover: I am sorry I did to you what you did to me. I took a couple days away to talk to my father. He reassured me that what he and others have told me is true. So I am now wondering why the guy I told you about would lie to me. I can't leave what I have for something that's not right. I am just confused. Maybe I should talk to him again and see why he lied to me. There has to be a reason behind it right? Well Hope to talk to you soon. Smile for me.
