[h2][b]Alex[/b][/h2] __________________________________________________________________________ The last place Alex expected to find Emma was at a police station. Opening the door, he found Emma seated in a chair, her head in her hands. She was in her usual hoodie and jeans. He came over and immediately gave her blonde head a nudge. "What the hell?"He demanded. "[i]What did you do[/i]?" She muttered a response in reply, not picking up her head. With a sigh, he glanced over his shoulder at the officer, who now cleared his throat. "I was expecting her parents." He told him, "I called-" "She probably lied and told you that I was her dad." Alex groaned and gently took Emma's wrist. "I'll take her home. What did she do?" "She broke into private property and trespassed. Since she's young, I don't think any charges will be pressed but the guardians are coming to escort her back. Please wait. She'll be speaking to the headmistress."The officer explained without interest, seating himself back at his desk. Alex made a face, "That's not like you at all Emma. Why would you-" "My friends... At least I thought they were my friends.... They dared me to go in and I didn't want to seem stupid and I think they called the cops on me." Emma finally told him with a sniffle. She picked up her head and wiped her eyes. Alex finally softened and rubbed her back. She had fallen for one of the classics unfortunately. Emma was too gullible for her own good sometimes. "Don't worry about it. I won't tell mom and dad."Alex said, "They'll get mad at me more than you anyway." "Yeah they'd totally blame you since you're a butthead."Emma said with a faint smirk. He playfully nudged her. Their parents were the least of their worries. The headmistress was such a raging bitch and she'd really give Emma a hard time for this one, especially since they wandered off campus amongst the disappearances. "Listen Emma. I don't want you wandering off campus ever again okay? You could have got really hurt or worse." For some reason, the faces of those boys they had seen this morning filled his mind and he clenched his fists. James had blocked both Rose and Emma from their view. Who knew what those sickos could had done to her. He was totally going to get the little brats who got her in this situation in trouble too. They would not get away with this bull. His thoughts were interrupted by sound of new footsteps. A number of guardians walked in, muttering to each other. They went over to the police officer and began talking to him. "Can you read their minds?"Emma whispered to him. "No... I can't."Alex said quietly back. They were completely blocked off. Something really weird was happening and the guardians clearly did not want him to know. He swallowed. He really wished Shay was here but he was glad she and Rose were having a good time at the party instead of being here as worried as him. [h2][b]Louis[/b][/h2] __________________________________________________________________________ The last thing Louis had expected was a wolf to tackle him. He was very strong too, pinning even someone of Louis's frame right to the ground. "Get off me you mutt!"Louis snarled. He ended up yelling out as claws sunk into his arms. His vision went white for a moment as he was consumed with the pain. Shay must had done something to call them. That stupid clever bitch was going to get it. He was going to get this dog off him and get Shay and the other girl. He shut his eyes, trying to ignore the pain and the attacking animal. Suddenly the dog went still, unable to move. The confusion swimming in his eyes was fantastic. Louis started to laugh as he scrambled out from underneath, blood dripping from his arms and staining the grass beneath him. "Didn't see that coming, mutt?"He grinned at him, staggering a bit as he got to his feet and threw himself into a clumsy run after the girls. [h2][b]Lucy[/b][/h2] __________________________________________________________________________ "Uh so how did you end up in that situation?"Lucy asked in a nearly out of breath voice as she tugged Shay along. She was running as fast as she could, hoping Dalton would be able to hold his own. He certainly had a way better chance than her at least. If she screwed up today, Toby was not going to let her try this again for a while. She dared to look over her shoulder and cursed under her breath, "Alright don't look back."She warned, "I mean it." The guy was charging not far behind them. It had been hard to catch any details but she could have sworn she saw blood on his arms. She could hear the crunch of the leaves distantly as he tore angrily through the woods towards them, even over her own noisy footsteps. Dalton had seriously let him go? Was he joking? They were so screwed. "Run faster, okay? Like your life depends on it!"Lucy ordered.
