Chapter 37 A Second Chance-3
"Hey, hey it's ok. You guys are alright!" He eases her body and places his hands, gently cupping
her face. Slowly wiping away her tears with the back of his finger.
"He.... he was aiming at you! I thought he was going to kill you!" Her voice breaks with the feel of
the knot in her throat as tears continue to descend from her eyes.
"Why did I feel the need to protect you? I don't even know you! I'm sorry I don't want to seem like a
psychotic, but... I just-" she stares into his eyes, lost for words as he hears her sweet voice, closing the
gap between them.
He slowly Grace's her lips and kisses her softly. Her arms slowly wrapped around his waist. He
places his forehead against hers and sighs deeply.
"My name is Tyler." He whispers, his eyes closed as he caresses her cheek with his right and
holds her by her waist with his left.
"I...Uhm... I'm Emily. Emily Mitchell." Her heart raising at a million per second. Feeling her mind
clouded and her body shaking.
"Thank you guys for coming to our rescue. We... we don't know how to thank you. But, this....this
isn't normal! How did you manage to tear these guys into pieces like this I don't understand! " Blake
walks towards the girls who are still frightened and amazed.
Tyler closes his eyes and sighs. "Emily, I'm afraid those guys are not normal guys. Just like us...
they have the scent of a werewolf. Rogues to be exact."
"What? No! Werewolves don't exist." The beautiful blonde-haired, blue eyes Chloe responds.
"I'm afraid they...we... do exist." Blake grips the girl's arm and stares at her in her eye. Making her
go into a hypnotic state. "You will forget this whole incident. You were taking a stroll and went back to
your destination. You had a wonderful time hiking and never saw any of this. You never met us, you
were never attacked by rogues. You will get your things and leave back home." He stares at each of
the girls doing the same thing to each one. Commanding them to continue on their way as if this
incident had never happened.
Tyler looks at Emily. His eyes lingered with a single tear threatening to leave his side. "Are you
really going to make me forget about you too? I don't want to. I know we just met, but I... I don't want to
leave your side! I don't want to forget about you! Please?" Emily implores.
Her hand tightens around his waist, as the knot in her throat increases with the melancholy
building inside her.
"I'm sorry darling. But you are better without this memory in your life." He whispers as she nods in
disagreement with him.
"No! Please? Don't make me forget about you... don't leave me!" He pulls away as Blake holds her
hand and looks deep into her eyes. With a burden in his heart knowing he's doing it against his own
will, he slowly utters his words and makes her forget about Tyler and the attack. Tears fall down her
cheeks and Tyler can't stand to see her cry. He turns on his heel and walks away.
The girls, still in a slow trance continue to walk away together. It must have been two miles away
from the attack where the girls finally regain full consciousness. Questioning how they got to where Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
they are but for a few seconds. Coming to terms that maybe they were so engulfed in their
conversation that they didn't realize they had walked so far.
Yet, inside Emily, she can't help but feel an emptiness and sudden sadness in her heart. The knot
in her throat built up and a tear escaped her.
"Hey Em? Are you ok honey?" Chloe asks her best friend. Emily takes a big gulp to clear her
throat and clenches her eyes. Involuntarily looking towards the peak of the mountain.
"I Uhm... yeah! I'm fine. I don't know what's happening to me. Maybe I'm just tired." She looks back
at her friends and smiles wiping away the stray tear.
"Ok come on guys... I'm starving. Why don't we pack early and head back home? I could really go
for a BLT at Carissa's and an iced coffee. What about you guys?" Chloe suggests and all girls chuckle
as they turn and head back to their campsite.
Emily stops one last time, clutching the straps of her backpack and sighing.
"Why do I feel like I'm missing something now? I feel divided. Like I just lost something really
important in my life?" She sighs and turns slowly back to her friends walking away.
