Chapter Nine

When I woke up, I was hurting everywhere. Someone had thrown a blanket over Scarlett and my naked bodies and there was no sign of the werewolf. There were sounds of people moving around and not bothering to try and keep quiet.

I groaned. “Someone get the plates of the truck that ran me over?”

“Oh, you got jokes? Put some fucking clothes on and help us clean up.” That was one of my roommates, Domingo. He spoke with a slight accent but probably had a better understanding of the English language than anyone else in the house.

I blinked into the sunlight streaming in through the windows, wincing as it stabbed into my nerves, and then stared as the living room slowly came into focus. Or rather, what was left of the living room.

“Fuck,” I said, taking it all in.

“Yeah,” Domingo said. “Yeah, fuck.”

He, Tim, and Danny were all dressed in grimy jeans and shirts and sweating hard. It didn’t take long to figure out what had been going on. They’d been cleaning up our mess. Judging from the lack of ruined furniture they’d been hauling the broken pieces outside. This made the rest of the damage stand out all the more. The cracks and holes in the wall and floor, the scorch marks…the little fires I’d set off looked to have burned for a while. Shit, that could have been bad. I’d slept right through it all.

I carried Scarlett up to my room, threw on some pants and hurried down to help them clean up.

Nobody was feeling talkative. There was only so much we could do. The best that could be said was that by the time we were done the living room looked less like a war zone and more like a renovation project. I suppose that’s exactly what it was now. Shame it smelled like dogs and smoke.

“Guys, I’m sorry.”

Danny and Tim both shrugged but Domingo glared at me. “You know, you were sorry last time too. I’m grateful you took care of most of that. Shit, I don’t even mind the mess here so much, but dammit, this can’t keep happening, Caleb.”

I winced.

“The worst part isn’t cleaning up this shit,” he went on. “There were fucking fires burning in the living room when I got home. Fires. Do you understand that whatever you were doing, you nearly burned the whole house down—you and Scarlett inside it? And whoever that other chick was.”

“You saw her?” I asked. “What happened to her, where did she go?”

Domingo crossed his arms. “I tell you that you nearly killed everyone, and your first question is about the girl you had a threesome with?”

I shook my head and held up my hands. “It isn’t like that. She attacked us.”

Domingo raised his eyebrows. “Attacked you? And what, mid-fight you all said hey, make love not war?”

Well when you put it like that.... “Uh, pretty much.”

“Whatever.”

Everyone went on about their business after that and I fell back asleep, vaguely wondering where the werewolf had gone and how the hell both Scarlett and I had slept through everything going on in the house.
