The lost road... - Lauren colman (web ebook reader TXT) 📗

moon. The boy, had his hand rested on mine and yet I didn't notice it until he clicked his fingers, my eyes shot to the table and I moved my hand away. I had heard the boys name plenty of times, he was called jake sullvermore and he was only fourteen, he had dark chocolate hair and aqua blue eyes. In a purr he said," It's a beautiful sight, isn't it," Without realising it, I nodded.
His hands lingered on mine and his hands stopped at the bracelet. This time his voicy was icy and harsh. "Who gave you this, you got this today, didn't you," I backed slightly away from him but I was trapped in his icy glare, I stuttered, something I did when I was nervous. "Ye-ah it was a gift, it wa-s fro-m a fri-end," His eyes narrowed, one of his friends joked,"Oooh is jake jealous?" He just snarled at him, I just guessed it was his response to that question. His eyes shot back to me," Where do you think your going?" He grabbed me then forced me to look straight into his eyes,"So who was the lover boy, I'm going to rip him a new look," Frightened for kyle, I stayed silent. Getting more furious by the minute, jake shook me then yelled in my face,"WHO IS HE!" He was snarling, his grip was getting tighter and he continued to yell," Who was the boy that dared to give you a valentines gift," Realising his anger I whispered," It wasn't a valentines gift, it's my birthday," He let me go then calmed down dramatically, he patted the seat next to him and when I didn't sit he yanked me down.

With a sinister smile creeping onto his face he said innocently," So, how old are you?" I was uncomfortable with the stares, it felt like they were burning a hole through me, I chirped," Fourteen, I've got to go now so, bye," I tried to leave the seat but jake had me pinned down,
" It's a lovely dress your wearing, do you know who picks out what you wear, us but I picked that out for you, after all you look lovely in silk," His eyes gazed along my body with a smirk, it was hard to not get drawn into their charm. He took my hand, his breath tickled my neck then whispered in my ear," I've got something to show you outside," He paused near the end, I knew I wasn't meant to go off the grounds but going outside wouldn't harm me, would it? I have been plenty times outside to the stables, I never got hurt. He pulled me along, we walked outside then the cool air hit me and I inhaled it in, I didn't get out much and I haven't been off ground in years. I looked outside, my eyes adjusting to the darkness, he had had his arm hooked around mine and he was walking to the gate, the one I had never passed through in years. I hesitated when we got to it, he lost his smile then said," Whats wrong illy, your safe with me," I looked at him when he called me illy, nobody had ever called me it, I looked nervously back at the inn then walked on. He opened the gate, it squealed as if warning me but I was just imagining things wasn't I ? I still had flickers of memories or where they nightmares, I couldn't really remember, my mamma mary always told me they were nightmares and that everything was always going to be ok.
I felt wrong as I passed one foot over the gate, jake just smiled at me then we walked, they trees were black as tar and were crooked and bent. When a scary noise made me jump, I clung on to jake but thats when we got to a little clearing and jake sat me down and he sat. The moss was soft and auburn leaves clung to the tree, I had panickeda slight bad feeling but I knew I would be ok. He started to talk about the moon but I wasn't really focused, he left and then I was alone. I panicked looking around, an owl flew close and fluttered its white wings in my face, I screamed and battered my hands at it but it wouldn't leave me alone. I looked around, the red moon eluminated everything giving a red glow and made dark shadows creepier, I heard a branch snap and I turned around. Jake was just laughing, his face looked pale and as white as ice, his lips pulled into a tight line then he dragged this amazing beauty forwards, it was a horse as black as night, it was tall and elegant, just breath taking.

"Want to go for a ride?" Nervously I nodded, I was picked up and put infront of jake, he didn't head in the direction of home but rather the opposite and rode further away. Timidly I squeaked,"Where are we going," Jakes voice was as chilling as the night, "Just for a little ride," He stopped again but then he yanked me to the ground, his hands twisted in my hair and he roughly brought his lips to mine. I tried to fight, he nipped my lip then chuckled," I love a fight," I was pinned to the ground, I was the weakest person to mankind but it was my beauty and the fact I was very obedient and friendly that kept my job. I squirmed under his grasp and he just pulled my hair more until I stopped, tears began to run and he snapped,"Stop crying," He kissed me harder, trying to get my mouth to open but I wouldn't, he easily got bored then he slung me over his shoulder as if I was a bag of feathers. He didn't say a word to me on the way back but I ran straight to my room, chucked off the dress, disgusted with myself but at least he had the dignity to stop before he did any damage. Things were slowly getting worse.

I had a restless sleep, I was haunted by an old nightmare, one I hadn't had since I was little.

Then I saw them, tall creatures almost wolf like but stood upon two legs, their breath smelt like rotten flesh and the smell of damp and decay was overwhelming, they had dragged my family here, there was many decaying rotting bodies here but none of them were recognisable as human as they were shredded beyond belief. I was in a childs body, I felt so unprotected and vulnerable.
My fingers dug into the soft mossy dirt, it strongly smelt of roots, I felt like this was real so strongly because I have never had a dream ever like this.

I felt a warm breath tickle the back of my neck, I was too terrified to look behind me, I heard light snarling and I knew one of those things was behind me. I was slightly confused what I thought as a "Thing". I closed my eyes, just waiting to be struck dead but the blow never came, shaking I turned around and there was the creature. It was a light golden yellow, its fur stained with blood, its sharp teeth were dripping with saliva but were a shinny white colour, I didn't look it in the eyes because supposedly thats the one thing you don't do with wild animals. It took a step forward, It was only a small one, taller than me only by a bit but it was a creature none the less.

Timidly, I looked up to see what it was doing then the sharp golden amber eyes stared into mine, I was frozen to the spot, I heard the screams of some people I didn't know. Quickly I turned around, picked myself up off the ground as I began to run to the clearing, I had no idea why I was risking my life to run to the strangers screaming. The creature jumped on top of me, it was just playing with me, giving me a small bit of hope then crushing it. It had me pinned to the ground, its sharp claws cut my arms and I let out a little welp. Then it snarled loudly in my face, distorted words came from its...His mouth, " Shut up, your mine and I'm not letting them have you...Don't forget your mine, ever..." Then he was gone, I picked my self up and stumbled into the clearing.

The light was bright and blinding, so unbearable, I woke up in a bed and stood in the corner of the room was a boy, no older than fourteen. He had striking blonde hair which slightly curled it was soft looking and the colour of a sun, we never saw for longer than a few seconds a day. He had amber honey coloured eyes which just seemed to melt the very core of your soul, I had no idea why I felt this way about a stranger. Then he was gone, not vanished, just a mere blink then gone, I must have been imagining it, confused and restless I went back to sleep.

I slightly opened one eye, I heard a female voice panically saying," You can't go up there, get out now," Then a male voice roaring with a growl,"SHUT UP, I AMM GOING TO DO WHAT I WANT!" I groaned then snuggled back into bed, a startling slam made me jump, jake had ripped open my door so hard that splinters had gone flying and the lock was now broken. I pulled the cover over then sleepily moaned,"Go away, I'm tired," I blinked then rubbed my eyes realising it wasn't a dream, panicking I pulled my cover up to cover myself because I wasn't presentable. My curls were in a mass pouring down my back in slight tangles, I was still slightly dazed.


Jakes P.O.V

I saw my Illy still dazed and sleepy, I wanted her and she was the only human girl here I wanted, It took everything I had to control my wolf because he so badly wanted a taste of her, we could faintly smell an old claim which lingered on her which made many very wary but it was old and she wasn't claimed. I just wanted to see her, really it had been my wolf that had taken over and brought myself up, her white curls were a wild mess, her mouth in a slight pout because she had been woken up, I had never seen her this wild and well such a mess. She seemed like a slightly uptight obedient girl.


His P.O.V

I was coming for her, it was time I staked my claim, I was guessing by now she had us swarming around her, I don't know what it was but she was very different and I think it was something in her blood that changed everything.


Illina P.O.V

I was frightened, all he did was look at me as if I was some painting for sale but I was not for sale or a mere painting, his eyes gazed around my room, slowly stopping when he saw my paintings. I plucked up the courage then said,"Get out now," He pulled a confused and slightly sad face then walked out, I sighed in relief then relaxed. I got up out of bed, got changed into the pale pink dress laid before me then left my hair in a wild mess. Walking down the old creaky stairs, something I had done a thousand times, it felt different though as if something in my life had dramatically changed. The smell of smoke was thick
