Dylan’s POV
I knelt next to my dad’s dead body
His wounds weren’t healing
I kept shaking him
I didn’t say a word, not wanting to attract the person that did this to him
He coughed
I grinned, knowing there was hope he would survive
‘I have to get him outta here’ I thought then tried carrying him.
It didn’t work so I pulled his body
I got to the door but before I could open it, I felt a sharp pierce on my back
I felt stings follow then felt like I was being burnt
I couldn’t even react to the pain
I was paralyzed
I heard chuckles when I dropped on the floor
Felt like a combination of voices
I couldn’t tell which gender
I struggled to breathe
I tried calming myself so I could focus on my vision which was now blurred
I had to see the murder’s face
I looked at him… or her but saw nothing
I couldn’t see ‘its’ face
It dropped the knife it stabbed me with then pulled me to a chair then made me sit
I couldn’t talk, couldn’t move, couldn’t do anything
I was in too much pain but couldn’t yell
My wound wasn’t even trying to heal
I tried contacting my wolf
“What’s going on?”
”There was poison on that knife… It’s making it hard for me to heal”
I pulled my eyes and focused on my breathing
It was hard
“M- Mr Arthur?” My eyes snapped open when I heard Avery’s voice
No no
She’s not a meant to be here
She dropped on her knees
Tears already spilling from her cheeks
“Who did this to you?” She cried then hugged the lifeless body
Avery please go
I couldn’t risk to blink
I starred at Avery and the murder standing next to her… Just starring
She didn’t notice him… She didn’t notice me either
The person grabbed it’s knife
I suddenly got control of my tongue
“AVERY!” I yelled
Immediately I felt like my lungs were out
I couldn’t breathe
I coughed, struggling for air without even moving
I was completely paralyzed
I looked like I was calmly sitting on a chair, enjoying the view
The murder froze
“Dylan?” She noticed me then stood up and ran to me
She squatted, making eye contact with me
“What happened?” The cupped my cheeks
It hurt seeing her so worried
I kept looking forward, trying to make her notice the murder
She couldn’t understand
“W-why aren’t you breathing?” She asked
The terrified look in her eye tore me apart
I couldn’t say anything
She rested her hand on my chest
“Can’t feel your heart” she said, tears pouring down her cheeks
I tried moving my hands but nothing was working
I kept looking forward
“W-what are you looking at?” She asked then slowly turned to see
The murder stabbed her as soon as she turned
Damnit!
I could only groan as my vision got more blurry
I couldn’t hold on to my life any longer
She froze then looked at the handle of the knife that was covered in blood
The rest of the knife was in her abdomen
She looked forward then saw the murder, smiling at her
“You!” She said bitterly then pulled out the knife
I watched, amazed
I couldn’t even talk after that knife entered me
She stabbed the murder’s shoulder
As soon as the knife sank into he skin, he froze, not saying anything
He was paralyzed as well
I managed to smile
“You did this?!” Avery yelled
Her voice echoed like it wasn’t just her talking
Her eyes started glowing white “Must you ruin everything!” She yelled
Her fangs grew
I heard her bones break and shift
She’s shifting into her wolf
Within seconds, her shift was complete
Her wolf’s fantastic…
Big, white, stainless…. Obviously powerful
“Fuck” the murder muttered
*********************************
I sat up as soon as I woke
I placed my hand on my chest feeling my heart race
I was sweaty though the conditioner was on.
I felt so weak
It’s not the first time I’m having this kinda dream though
I got off my bed then walked to a picture of Avery that laid on my desk
I starred at it not knowing what to do
This is the first time I’m having this kinda dream and not having any hope of talking to her
My head was pounding as much as my heart
I groaned then fell back to my bed
I grabbed my phone
I’ve gotta hear her voice at least
I slowly dialed her
I kept hesitating after every digit
I put the phone on speaker then placed it on the space beside me
Waiting impatiently for her to pick up
“H-hello?” She finally picked up
Her voice was pale. I could tell my call woke her up
I opened my mouth to talk but I couldn’t get words out
I felt like a whimp
After saying the crap I said to her, I call to do what. Tell her I had a bad dream? A nightmare?
Tell her I didn’t enjoy my night?
Tell her what?
Tell her she has me tangled round her fingers?
Tell her I love her more than I used to?
Tell her we should elope?
Tell her I’m shattered after realizing she just played me?
Tell her I have an urge to kiss her anytime I see her
I sighed
“Dylan?” She sounded angry
I smiled, hearing my name roll of her lips with that tone eased me.
I miss pissing her off
“You just woke me up and now you can’t say anything. What the fuck?!” She yelled into the phone
I tried not to laugh
“Do you know how long itd take to fall back asleep?!” She kept yelling
I glanced at my clock
We’re literally two hours late for school
“Say something damnit!” She yelled “You interrupted a perfect dream!”
I hung up before she could say something else
Bet she was dreaming about her stupid mate filling her with babies
“You’re fucking stupid. You keep assuming and that’s your fucking problem!” My wolf yelled
I hissed then got up
I felt dizzy
I struggled to get to the desk where I kept my pain relief
I opened up a bottle of water then poured it into my mouth, the tablets followed
The pain relief did it job within seconds
I sat on my bed, taking in slow breaths while reflecting on my dream
My dad barged into my room all of a sudden
I watched him watch me
There was an awkward silence between both of us
“I had a dream” we both said at the same time
We furrowed our eyebrows at the same time as well
I stood
“I was killed” we said at the same time again
“Avery shifted” we continued
My dad’s eyes were filled with worry
“Have you talked to Avery about this?” He asked me
“No… Have you?”
“No. I want you to talk to her for me”
“No” I frowned
“It wasn’t a request” he said bluntly “Drop your ego and behave maturely. This involves our lives” he continued
“What makes you think she’d stop to listen to me… I’ve pissed her off enough” I looked down
“I’ll help you fix things but just… Try talking to her… We can’t ignore this and you know it” he said
The seriousness in his voice shocked me
I nodded
“Get ready for school” he said then left
LEAVING THE DOOR OPEN
“Dude. What the actual fuck!” I yelled
He heard him chuckle
I sighed then got up and banged the door shut
Why are parents like this?
I sighed then walked to the bathroom
I really don’t wanna go to school today but… I really wanna talk to Avery
