One Last Chance

Chapter 7 Alison

         Today I thought I could get through the day without a single tear. That's when I saw Tyler at school and he tried to catch up with me, but I didn't feel like talking to him so I started walking fast. He called my name and I just turned my head. He grabbed my wrist and stopped me. I couldn't even look at him because if I didn't decide to stay and be with Tyler and I decided to go with my parents they could still be alive. He lifted my chin and said sweetly everything will be ok. I looked down at the floor and nodded and we headed for class. After school Tyler asked to give me a ride home, but I told him that I wanted to walk and he agreed to my decision and told me to be safe. It was sort of peaceful walking home, if I must admitt. I was starting to feel like myself until I wounded up in the woods, lost. I must have taken the wrong path, I thought. It was starting to get dark and I started hyperventilating. I was so afriad of the dark. Suddenly I heard rustling from the trees and I jumped. Something started scratching the bark. I didn't know what to do so I started to run, not knowing what I was running from. I kept looking back to see if anyone was following me. But there was nothing just the cold strong wind that brushed by me making me loose my balance. Next thing I knew I was on the ground clutching my knees to my chest. Sweat ran down my face. I heard a twig snap as I was just starting to slow my breath. I got up and ran as fast as I could, looking back. I suddenly stumbled onto a large figure. As I was on the ground my eyes started to clear as I looked up to see the figure hovering over me. I backed away with big to see a tall man with very pale skin and green eyes. He was wearing a black hoddie. I stood up and dusted the dry dirt off. He then looked at me and smiled saying
"What is a sweet girl, like yourself doing at these part of the woods" I gulped hard making my throat dry. I said
"Well I got lost on my way home" He examined me and nodded his head. I exhaled and then he bared his teeth as they were very oddly pointed. He told me to run. I was so confused and then he grabbed my wrist in full force. I released from his grip and ran screaming Tyler's name. I don't know why I thought he could hear me. The man appeared in front of me and pushed me down and grinned a devious grin. On the ground he started toward me as I backed away. Suddenly he came too close that I screamed and covered my face. I finally looked up to see a white wolf with beautiful eyes and a thick coat growl at the man. The man just smiled, which was creepy. It jumped on him, pushing him to the ground with it's four paws on his chest and it's snout close to his neck. The man grabbed the wolf by the neck and threw it off him. The wolf slid across the muddy ground, but quickly picked itself up and charged at the man. He bared his teeth again in anger as the wolf was heading toward him and the man bit it deep on it's left side of it's neck. The wolf whippered and fell to the ground. The man smirked and walked toward me, cracking his neck as I was in shock, I got up fast and started running in panic, but I tripped on a rock and fell to the ground, turning my head around to see the man. I kept saying "please don't hurt me" but he didn't listen. I watched the white wolf struggle to get up across from me. Finally he did and used all his energy and pounced on the man, as he caught him off guard. I was so scared watching what was happening. My eyes became big. The wolf started ripping him apart as the man screamed and cried out, until he no longer was breathing. He looked disgusting with blood all over him. Then the wolf turned it's neck behind him, looking at me with dry blood stains on it's snout and it started toward me in an angry way and fast. I thought it was going to kill me, but instead it dropped to the ground. It saved my life. I could see it's wound was even worst by the blood ouzzing out of it's neck. I wanted to help it, but as I got close it transformed to a boy I was so freaked out and wanted to run. As I saw his face a little closer I realized that it was Tyler. I didn't understand what was right in front of me. I couldn't believe it. I thought I was dreaming. I didn't know what to do. But I couldn't just leave him there. In the foggy, dark woods. No matter how scared I was.

     I brought him back to my house, quietly so Tasha doesn't hear us. I layed him on the couch, putting a blanket on his naked body and went to the bathroom to retrieve the First Aid kit. I wrapped his wound in the bandages, letting the blood stop flowing out. He was sweating and his body was so cold. He wasn't awake yet, so I just paced back and forth thinking about what I would say to him, once he wakes. I needed an explanation. Suddenly his eyelids opened, blinking very slowly. He lifted his head up and unwrapped the bandages as I saw his wound completely healed. I was shocked. He got up from the couch and started toward me. I slowly backed away and said
"What are you Tyler?" Having the urge to cry.
"I can explain Alison" He motioned in a unharming way as I was backing away from him. I was too scared to even be near him. But I thought since he was a wolf? he could sense my fear and that made me even more nervous. I sat on the couch at the far end of the room and said
"We'll explain to me then"
"Ok, I am a wolf, werewolf technically but it all started one day when I was walking through Willow woods, I was taking a short cut to get to a party at my old school. Suddenly I heard all these strange noises and suddenly a huge wolf jumped on me and attacked me and I tried to get him off thinking I was going to die. Once he released me I noticed that he bit my neck and all of a sudden I was unconscious from staring at the blood. I woke up to find myself outside an abandoned house and six wolves surrounding me. I was freaking out and tried backing away. They growled at me. Until a young man with bronze skin and dark hair approached me and the wolves backed away. I was so confused. He gave me his hand and helped me up. Placing a bandage over my bite mark. He said that his name was Thomas and asked for my name as I said that it was Tyler. I was still confused though. He said he'll show me around, putting his arm around my neck. We walked into the abandoned house to see so many odd people inside. One man approached Thomas and asked if I was in transition. His name was Antonio. Thomas said that he didn't know yet. He told me that he was sorry that Antonio had to bite me. That he was very careless. I was confused, until Thomas told me that I was in transition of becoming a werewolf. I was so scared and speechless, but I also couldn't believe it, that I said that this couldn't be happening and ran out of the house and into the woods. Antonio ran after me and caught up, pinning me to the ground. He was quite strong. He dragged my sorry ass to the abandoned house and dropped me on the floor in front of Thomas. Thomas told Antonio to be gentle. I asked them why they would do this to me, but all they said was that this wasn't a curse.
