"I'm her boyfriend, Enzo," Enzo interrupted, sticking his hand out to shake Dan's and Laura's. My face went red as he said this; to think that he was my boyfriend now... I couldn't fathom it, even though we had just had rough, kinky sex in the locker rooms twenty minutes prior.
Dan looked Enzo up and down, then smiled. "You got a good girl here," he said. "Take good care of her."
"Dan and Laura got the bullet out and kept me alive when James..." My voice faltered, but I didn't need to say anymore. Enzo already knew it all. He nodded solemnly, then cleared his throat.
"Thank you," he said. "Are you joining the fight?"
Dan nodded vigorously. "Of course. We have to! This is our home!"
Enzo managed a slight smile and looked around at the crowd. More people had gathered around the entrance to the town. We had a whole militia of townspeople and students who wanted to fight to protect our town. I just hoped that they would stand a chance against the rogues.
After that, we waited for a long time. Enzo sent the hockey team to patrol up and down the road that led to the town, and Enzo, Matt, and I stayed behind to get people ready to fight. Content belong to NôvelDráma. Org.
However, hours were spent like this. The rogues never came.
Even as the cold winter sun began to lower over the mountains, casting the landscape in a dark blue tinge, the rogues still never came. I began to wonder if this was a big fake-out. Were they just distracting us so that they could get us off guard at another time?Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
*Luke, I thought you said it would be a few hours at the most," Enzo said, sounding a little agitated.
Luke nodded. "My spies saw them headed this way. I don't know... Maybe they changed course?"
Enzo shook his head. "Maybe we should..."
Suddenly, his voice faded away. He was still speaking with Luke, but they both suddenly felt very distant and muffled. I felt as though I was launched a hundred meters away, and it felt as though everything was crushing in
on me.
"They're coming." My wolf's voice echoed clearly in my mind. I felt as though I was floating above everything else, looking down over the trees and the roads. And in the distance, not far from the town... The rogues.
They were sneaking up on us. I couldn't see it, but I could feel it. They had snuck past our patrols; they were too smart for rogues. Their genetically engineered leader had outsmarted us.
I felt myself return to my body, and quickly turned to look at Enzo. My heart was racing. I opened my mouth to wam him, to tell him that we were about to be ambushed...
But it was too late.
We heard screams to our left. We spun around to see that a rogue had leaped out of the woods and pounced on
someone.
Gunshots.
More screaming.
More rogues.
"Nina, please run,* Enzo said. I could tell that he was already beginning to shift. "Go with Luke."
I shook my head and took a few stumbling steps backwards as I saw more rogues come and pounce on terrified townspeople, whose bullets were doing nothing. Luke's hand brushed mine as he tried to pull me away, but I was frozen in terror. Enzo shifted and growled at me, warning me to leave, before he took off with Matt into the fray.
"Nina!" Luke shouted, tugging me. "Come on! Let's go! There's too many-"
Suddenly, I looked up at the road and met two glowing yellow eyes. It was the rogue leader.
And he was looking right at me.
