Chapter 5 Escape plan

A week has passed since I was taken to this house. Apparently, it wasn't a hospital like a hoped. It was a big house with so many rooms that every single time I tried to find the kitchen, I got lost.

Most of the time, I stayed in my room, hiding from everyone else because the thought of a wolf running around scared me.

There were other big houses next to us in this territory in the woods that belonged to their pack which was called Silver Moon Pack.

The pack members were actually nice, they would always talk to me and alway attack me with stories how they ended up here when I was in the kitchen. It was interesting and for some reason, I wasn't that afraid of them that much because they looked like real humans.

Or maybe the fact that they are werewolves still didn't get through my head.

I could already talk but I still sound like a retarded seal sometimes but it still hurts and I get sore throats a lot.

Declan, on the other hand, stayed away from me the whole week. I would catch him looking at me but other than that he didn't say a word or do anything thankfully because just by looking at him gave me chills.

Today was the big day. The day I escape. No one suspects anything and I already planned my whole way out.

I couldn't stay in this house like a prisoner and since my back and my throats were better than before, I thought that today will be a perfect opportunity.

I was so nervous because I didn't want to get caught. I want everything to go by smoothly but I can feel my heart beating against my chest so hard. I packed a bag with food and clothes that Mavis gave me.

I felt a bit sad leaving her after everything she did for me but I will repay her once I get to New York. I'm going to get to Los Angeles which should be an hour or so away then I'll find some transportation to take me to Florida and the I'll take a train or something to New York. I have some money that I took with me when I first ran away but it's not enough to buy a plane ticket to New York.

Yeah I did a research on Mavis' new phone.

Don't worry I cleared out the search history, I'm not that dumb you know?

Then I'll get a job, I am an eighteen-year-old girl who just graduated high school a couple of weeks ago so I'm sure they'll let me work at the restaurant or something.

"Going somewhere?" A deep voice interrupted my thoughts causing me to jump ten feet in the air. I slowly turned around and saw Declan kneeling on the door frame with his hands crossed in front of his chest.

Damn those muscles...

'Focus Bella!'

Right sorry!

"No, I'm just going to return these clothes Mavis gave me," I said and mentally gave myself a high five for such a good lie. Thankfully, I packed the food under the clothes.

"And what are you planning on wearing?"

"I'm going to go shopping with Mavis, I have my credit card and it has some money in it," Wow, to be honest, I'm such a great liar.

"My name is Declan if you didn't know," He said and I raised my eyebrows at him.

"I think you've established that when you almost killed me," I said bitterly.

"I'm sorry," And there goes the apology again.

"And like I said you shou-" I cut myself off before I could say anything else.

"Finish that sentence," He demanded and I shook my head.

"I don't want you to break anything else wolf boy," I said and immediately covered my mouth.

Did I just call him wolf boy?

Sometimes I just speak without thinking.

"You won't hear me apologizing again so if I were you I'd take it," He said and I narrowed my eyes as a bit of anger built up in my.

"And if I were you I'd shove it back up your butt hole," Yeah... I'm not a fan of swearing.

"Now be gone, I'd like to be alone,"

"I'm in charge here, so you don't get to boss me around," He said and narrowed his eyes.

"I'm an Alpha of a pack and I'm in charge here because I'm the big bad wolf, so you don't get to boss me around," I immediately covered my mouth when I realized that I said it out loud.

This happens a lot, I don't know what's wrong with me but sometimes when I'm mad, frustrated or sad I just speak my thoughts.

I think I just made a death wish.

"I'm sorry, please could you leave?" I asked nicely so he can leave me alone.

"Watch your tongue," he said and walked away.

"Watch your tongue," I mocked him in a deep voice.

"I heard that!" He called out and I rolled my eyes, closed the door and returned my attention to my bag. I quickly placed the rest of the clothes inside and threw the backpack over my shoulders.

My plan was to carefully sneak out the back door and make a run for it to the woods. Find the nearest road and a sweet driver who could offer me a ride.

I opened the door and looked from left to right to make sure the coast was clear.

I felt like a ninja...no...batman!

Let's just say the house was quiet and everyone were minding their own business so they didn't even realize that I just walked out the back door. I could have used the front if I wanted to but it didn't lead straight into the woods.

The reason why I chose to go to the woods is that they won't be able to spot me behind all those trees.

Smart, right? Yeah it's my first time using my brain for something so serious and important.

Just kidding. I'm smart when I want to be.

I walked deeper into the woods and tried to be quiet but fast. It's been like fifteen minutes and I couldn't stop looking at the phone. Maybe it was the fact that I was scared out of my mind and didn't want to look around, just in case if there was some creepy guy watching me like last time.

I wonder what happened to him.

I stopped and sat against the tree as I drank some water. I've been walking for not even that long but I was already dying. So to keep me motivated, I took out a bag of chips and started eating them while getting up and walking away.

I don't know how or why but I'm a girl that can swallow a hamburger in one bite. Okay maybe not one bite but you get me. Anyway, I somehow manage to stay skinny, and I don't even do any exercise.

I call it talent. Or maybe I just do exercise in my sleep.

I looked around just to make sure I wasn't being followed. This place is giving me the chills. Everything gives me chills nowadays.

Can't wait until I'm out of the woods.

Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of th-

'Now is not the time'

I mentally groaned and remained silent for the rest of my walk.

I was half way through the bag of chips when I heard a twig snap. Immediately I froze and slowly turned around. A couple of inches away stood a boy with black with dark blue eyes shooting glares at me.

Now where the heck did Declan come from?
