Sink Your Teeth Into Forever
Chapter 3
Ivy's POV
"What is it now Dad?" I groaned as he burst into the kitchen with a wide grin on his face. That crazy grin that I knew all too well, he thought that he has had another breakthrough on his "research".
"I FOUND PRINTS," He exclaimed shoving a plaster mold in my face, expecting me to see, but he was trembling with such excitement that I couldn't get a good focus on it. I pushed it away.
"Can you not see it, a pad and four toes! Absolutely massive! Must be at least a foot wide, oh, I'll have to measure!" He babbled. I face-palmed, I was so tired of all of this ridiculousness.
" Uh, what's the matter Sweetie?" he asked, finally taking a moment to notice my distress.
" All of this, there are no giant wolves in the woods," I screamed. I hadn't meant to explode but there was no stopping me now, " you're to busy to notice how I feel, you're driving me away, just like you did Mom!" I was still screaming and heading for the back door.
"No, don't go outside it's dangerous in the woods, especially at night. Look I'll prove myself right I'll catch one, and then your mother will come back, you'll all see I'm not crazy," He was babbling again. I couldn't handle it I pushed out the back door and started swishing through the wet grass into the woods. Miles of woods that we shared with our neighbor that we never saw. If there was a giant wolf then I was prepared to be bait, as long as it got me out of the crazy house.
Ashley's POV
I was in the middle of a deep sleep when a finger grabbed a hold of my shoulder and started shaking me violently.
"Ash, Ash, Ash wake up!" the familiar high pitched voice pounded to my sensitive ears. I moaned and rolled over, maybe he'd just leave me alone. The hand grabbed me again and shook even more violently than before, he whined even louder.
" I'm awake for God's sake, just give me a minute," I yelled, it came out harsher than I had wanted it to. I opened my eye's CC stood above me looking hurt. I glared, not a morning person, I didn't care if I hurt his feelings he'd get over it.
"Well sorry, I just wanted you to be awake and packed when we got to your house so we wouldn't have to wait on you," CC said, bluntly then walked away. I looked out the window of the tour bus, we were getting close to my place. The bus driver always drops me off first because I'm the one that's out of the way.
Despite my crankiness, I was silently thanking CC for waking me up, I still had a lot of repacking to do. I stood up, and walked through the bunk section to the party side of the bus. The one room CC and I shared. I did see as I passed through the bunks, to my distaste the rest of the band was still peacefully snoring. I frowned as I pushed through the door to the back lounge, it was a mess. I once again mentally thanked CC, even now I'd be pushed for time.
I started throwing things I knew were mine in the direction of my suitcase. Make up, sunglasses, bandannas, leather pants, leather jackets, leather gloves, leather cowboy hat, cowboy boots, and ... a beanie? No that's CC's, I tossed it towards the pile of his stuff. This continued for a while until finally I zipped up my suitcase, sure that i got just about everything.
I quietly made my way back out to the front lounge just as the bus was stopping at my house.
"Hey CC, I'm sorry I yelled at you earlier. You were right I did need to pack," I said as I passed.
"It's okay man, I understand," CC said looking up from his phone with a smile.
I got off the bus and rolled my luggage up my long driveway, I could hear my dogs yipping in excitement, to see me. Looks like the lady I paid to take care of my pets did a good job. I know it's weird a werewolf owning dogs, but what can I say they make good company. I fed them both and played for a little while, before I decided to go check the horses and go for a walk in the woods. It looked like it was getting cloudy, and the sun was going down, but I didn't really care, I know the woods like the back of my hand.
I went out to the barn, my two horses, Buckleberry, and Sam tossed there heads and whinnied when I entered, they were happy to see me too. I checked, the stalls were clean and the food and water was full. Everything was in good shape so I headed to the woods. As soon as I entered the shadow I relaxed. I always felt good in the woods like I didn't have to hide, and no one could see me if I decided to go wolf. We can change when we want to, not just on the full moon, when it's by choice it doesn't hurt at all. It feels good, liberating, like no one in the world can hold you back. Of course I do have neighbors, but I don't see them much, and it's just us for miles. So the pack will come here to hunt on most full moons.
Today though I didn't phase, I just walked, and relaxed. It was getting dark fast and the wind was picking up, I didn't care rain didn't bother me at all. I'd been walking for a good while when suddenly lightning split the sky, rain poured down, I was about to turn and go back when a scream shattered the air, through the rumble of thunder. I smelled blood.

Notes
If anyone gets the reference on the horses names I will love you forever. If anyone happens to know his horse's real name I'd like to know, just out of curiosity. I may post another chapter tonight, if not hopefully tomorrow, but as I said before my spring break is going to end soon and I'm going to get busy again. At that point I'll try and post once a week but that may not even happen. Keep commenting and letting me know what you think. Cliff hanger dun dun duuun.
Loved it ❤
