Chapter 6

“Figure out what ur going 2 do yet?”

Crystal frowned at the text message from Beth. She hadn’t figured it out yet. She didn’t want Beth getting involved either. Not just because she wasn’t sure if she trusted her anymore; she didn’t want her getting hurt.

What she should do was call Guntar and let him know what was going on. She’d almost done it, but every time she stopped and felt stupid. Why should her problems be theirs? They’d helped her time and again without getting anything back. Sure, Hank liked her and she liked him, but this was her problem.

She’d teamed up with the wolf to beat the beast before—she could do it again. It should be easy, the wolf and her were one now. She’d felt the wolf join with her. Or she joined with the wolf. Whatever, they were one. She just didn’t know what that meant, exactly.

“Yes,” Crystal typed into her phone.

Beth didn’t waste any time. “Cool. What’s the plan?”

“You work tonight.” Crystal typed. “Go 2 work. I’ve got this.”

“Let me help!”

Crystal shook her head. “I’ll b fine.”

There was a long pause before Beth responded. “K. B Careful. Love u!”

Crystal stared at the message for several seconds. Her heart was beating faster in her chest and she felt her skin itching on her back and chest as she warmed and began to itch. “Love u 2,” she typed and sent before shoving the phone back in her purse.

She needed a car. Something to get away from school fast before Chad found her and followed her. Or a motorcycle, she thought with a ghost of a smile. Her smile faded when she remembered falling off Ember’s bike and smashing herself up. Maybe a motorcycle was a bad idea.

The bell chimed, announcing the end of class. Crystal stared as the other students jumped up and filed towards the door. She jerked her head and lurched to her feet. She was in a hurry too. Where and what she needed to do she still didn’t know.

She made it to the hallway and looked around at the stream of people moving up and down the hall. It overwhelmed her senses: all the sights, sounds, and smells of teenagers. She shook the thought away. She was a teenager too. It was probably a good thing she hadn’t been able to smell as well as she could before now: she would have never given the boys in her class a chance!

Crystal turned and hurried towards the end of the hallway. There was a door that led out there. During school hours it was unlocked. She could get out and try to make it somewhere safe. Cross country instead of taking the roads. He’d have less chance of finding her. Unless he tracked her.

Crystal stopped. He’d said she smelled different that morning. That meant if he realized it, he could probably follow her scent. She could do it. Or at least she thought she could. She sniffed, pulling in all the scents around her.
