Chapter two: A Chance Encounter

SUMMER BLACK

Friday came quickly and I found myself with Carol and Brian. Not that I had any other friends to hang out with. We all sat on Brian's bed watching Supernatural, ironically. I was munching on all the food available... I'm a foodie okay.

Carol was sprawled next to me and she kept fidgeting. I knew she wanted to speak but was respecting Brian's wishes of watching tv. She was always restless when she had something on her mind. Now I was waiting for her to break.

All of a sudden she stopped watching and burst out talking. Obviously the urge won. She never lasted long anyway. Typical Carol. "Guys I had the weirdest dream ever" she started.

I also stopped watching and gave her all my attention. "Well what was it about?" I asked her. Brian ignored us completely and was muttering something that sounded like Dean is hot.

"I was trapped in some realm. It was very dark and I couldn't leave. So there I was not knowing what to do then a very delicious smell intoxicated my nostrils. It felt so good... then a very powerful presence came along with it . It engulfed my whole being but I wasn't afraid. I couldn't see who was with me but I felt him. I felt him move. But then he did the unexpected... He stabbed me with a knife and then I heard someone crying but then I woke up before anything else could happen. "

She finished narrating and by that time Brian had ditched Dean and listened to her dream. It was very weird. "Maybe it was your mate" Brian stupidly said. I smacked him in the head and the impact was harder than I anticipated. He winced in pain.

"So your saying that her mate kills her?" I rolled my eyes. He silently apologized. "I'm sorry as well" I said and hugged him tightly. "Didn't mean to go wild on you"

"Yeah you crazy"

"We should go see a witch" I suggested. They both looked excited at the thought of going to a witch. I've never been to one but I knew they lived just outside of town. "Let's leave now so that we make it back in time" I said already getting off the bed and put my jacket on. I wore a black mini skirt with white converse and a pink shirt. My black hair was tied up in a pony tail. I didn't like it flowing on my shoulders so I tied it up most of the time. We all went downstairs and waited as Brian informed his mother that we were leaving. Of course he didn't say that we were going to see a witch because she would not let us go. Our parents where overprotective. They never wanted us to socialize with any of the 'creatures' like they called them.

"So we are going to have to walk to her" Brian said once we started walking. I didn't mind walking. In fact I enjoyed it but I hardly went out.

We were almost out of town when a black Camaro with tinted windows stopped in front of us. We backed up immediately and went the other way around it. Rude person, I thought, he could have run us over. Who just comes and drives in front of people who are walking. It's probably a wolf... They think they are royalty.

We continued walking and a door shut then, "Stop" a thick voice said sending chills down my spine. We all stopped and looked at each other. The voice was full of authority. I wanted to turn around but I stopped myself.

Oh shit. Something bad was going to happen.

The man came round and faced us. He had a beautifully sculpted face. His jaw was defined and his hair was pushed back but a stray hair was on his forehead making him look dangerous and very sexy. I looked up into the darkest eyes ever yet they were somehow very beautiful eyes. You could see some golden color in them. His eyes widened when they landed on me and they became some what angry? They darkened and looked cold.

That wasn't the reaction I wanted from him... huh what are you saying Summer?

I couldn't break eye contact with him... for some reason. It felt comforting looking into his gaze. Like I belonged there. It was as if everything in my life just clicked into place.

"Where do you think you are going" he asked us but I felt like the question was directed to me. "We were just-"

"What's it to you?" I asked folding my arms. "We are going somewhere we are allowed that much freedom, right?"

His eyes kept getting darker. They think just because they control us they own us. "Firstly you try to run us over and now your wasting our time. We have a curfew remember?" I rolled my eyes and stared back at him.

I was about to speak again when he suddenly growled. "Shut up" he whispered. "Shut up before I rip you into pieces" he said. I felt my own anger rise.

His eyes darkened (Don't know how that was possible) and he stepped forward. I stepped back and almost whimpered. Carols arm shot out to hold my wrist preventing me from running. This wolf was oozing power. Even I felt it. It was as if she knew that I was about to run. I looked over at her and saw she had bowed her head. She obviously felt his power as well. But I wasn't going to lower my head.

"Considering that I'm the one in charge of this town means you answer to me. So yes, I would say it's my business. And I didn't try to run you over my driver just swerved. And oh yes you have a curfew. You know why it's for your fucking safety." he said. His voice was calm (too calm) but I felt the anger radiating off him. I just had to open my big mouth and talk nonsense.

Double shit. I just angered the alpha. The alpha of my town. The ruthless alpha. "I'm sorry..." I hesitated "...Alpha" it sounded wrong coming out of my mouth. But I said it anyway I didn't want any more trouble.

"You guys better go back and go home. When you die you will be blaming me and saying that I don't care when your stupidity is the one that gets you killed. Your stupidity and ignorance. So if you don't want to be a vampires snack I suggest you leave. Now." He almost growled the last part.

It's your fault that we are under attack, I screamed in my head. Obviously. If this man could just make peace then we'd all be happy. Right?

I wanted to ask him, if we anger him so much why didn't he just leave us alone and not take us under his wing but I knew better. Carol had to drag me away from there. I looked over my shoulder and glared at him. His eyes where still cold and distant. I turned and looked at the way ahead.

"How are we going to know what your dream means now?" I asked and pouted.

"You still care about the dream. The bloody dream! I almost shit my pants there... damn. He's hot though" Brian said and rubbed his face with his hands. I nodded in agreement but I wasn't going to admit it out loud. The man looked like a god standing at an impressive height of over 6ft. He had a great body as well. And his face was really beautiful, with a jaw sharp enough to cut you and his oh so beautiful eyes. Eyes that kept darkening because I angered him.

"It doesn't matter. Summer do you always have to challenge people?" She asked. She was mad. "You couldn't just keep quite and just listen. Then we could leave. Now we are on the Alphas bad books"

Okay maybe I shouldn't have talked to him like that but nobody just tells a stranger where they are going. My mom told me never to talk to strangers... and I listen to my mom.

"I don't know something in me told me I had to challenge him" I tried explaining the way I felt just a moment ago. Fighting him though wasn't enough I wanted to do more than that.

"It's fine I guess" she said and she interlaced our hands. We parted ways and she hurried to get home. While I walked home with Brian. I still had that little anger in me yet the beautiful alpha didn't leave my mind.
