 Lora pov

After Lucas departed, I was relieved because I thought I was falling in love with him. I hadn't finished my lunch when my phone rang; I looked at the ID and saw it was my childhood friend Jessi.

I excused myself since I knew that once she called, there would be a party. I went into my room, locked the door, and then answered the phone.

Hello, Jessi What's up, I said.

Hello, Lora. Thank heavens you answered my phone; I was afraid you'd ignore me.

After she said it, I burst out laughing.

Why would I not pick up your call? After all, you are my troubled buddy, so if I don't pick up your call, who will?

Well, you're correct about that, Lora, but that's not why I called you, and by the way, I have something to tell you.

Yes, I do know how to throw a party.

Really, how did you find out?

I know a lot about you, Jessi; don't forget how long we've been childhood friends.

Yes, I am aware of that; nevertheless, there is a party coming on tonight; I just received a note informing me that I am invited to the hot boys wolf party tonight into the woods.

That's very kind of you, Jessi. I assume people recognize you as a lover boy fan.

Yes, and you'll accompany me.

What I can't do, Jessi, because my parents are at home.

Yes, I am aware of that, Lora; please just do this for me, please.

But, Jessi, what will I tell my parents? I know they'll never let me.

Well, Lora, I have a plan; tell your parents you're coming out with me to help me acquire my shopping list, and then we'll go to the party; I promised I wouldn't stay long, just ten minutes, and then we'll leave.

But Jessi.

Please, Lora, just once.

Okay, I'll be there.

Thank you; please meet me in the woods.

I hung up the phone and went to my room to get dressed, then I put on a coat so my mother wouldn't notice anything. I proceed down the stairs, lying to my mother that I was going to assist Jessi.

After I left the house, I went to meet jessi in the woods, where she told me to meet her. it was already dark, and I despise the dark. We started walking for an hour and I was getting tired when my phone rang and it was my mom calling; I looked at Jessica and instructed her to keep her mouth quiet, which she did, and I picked up the phone.

Hello, Mom. I say cheerfully on the phone.

Lora Where are you? It's past 8 p.m., and you need to be here right now or you'll have to confront whatever you see. She then hung up the phone.

I apologized to Jessi for not remaining with her, then she said with a smile.

Don't be concerned, Lora. I got it, don't worry, I'll tell you everything that happened at the party tomorrow, okay?

I smiled and walked away. I went home and went to bed; I believe I'll have to find out what happened tomorrow.

I woke up feeling so pleased that I can't wait to hear about Jessi's day. I clean my teeth, take my bath, and go downstairs. I walk to the kitchen, greet my mom, and take my breakfast, which was bacon and egg.

I was on my way to my room when I noticed a news line head.

I walk up to the television to turn it off, but before I can, a dead body is displayed on the news, and it is reported that two girls were murdered and beheaded by the woods side last night.

I was so terrified that I took out my phone and began dialing Jessi's number, but it was not reachable, my pulse was racing, and I couldn't figure out what was going on.

I saw one of the dead bodies, wearing the same material Jessi was wearing the night before, and I waited for Jessi to call, but she never did.

Before I could do anything, Jessi's photo appeared on the scream, and it was revealed that she was one of the girls killed the night before. I screamed, and the plate in my hand tumbled and broke.

Lora, Lora, what's the matter, I heard my mother yell at me.

Lora, what are you doing? Gudi enquired.

I felt speechless and couldn't move, as if my heart couldn't beat any more.

Lora, please tell me what happened.

I looked at my mother but couldn't say anything. I pointed to the screen, and when they all saw it, they were all shocked.

What happened, Lora? I thought you and Jessi were together last night, my mother yelled at me.

Yes, Lora, please tell us what happened, said my father from behind.

I didn't move or say anything; instead, I returned to the last things Jessi had said to me.

Don't be concerned, Lora. I got it, don't worry, I'll tell you everything that happened at the party tomorrow, okay?

I burst into tears and cried so hard that I couldn't think of anything else to say, so I hurried up to my room and locked the door.

Why did jessi have to leave me? I only told her I needed to go home and I was just delighted that I could listen to her joke today.

I continued wiping when I heard my father's voice outside knocking on my door, yelling for me to open it.

Lora My father yelled out to me, "My child, why don't you come out and let us talk?" "Perhaps if you tell me where you and jessi truly went last night, I might use that proof to meet with the Alpha and he will find out what happened to them," he said.

I didn't say anything, only wiped, Jessi, you're my only friend and you make me smile, why do you have to leave me, why, I screamed at the end of my final statement.

My Father kept knocking, but I didn't open the door; I was so heartbroken and unhappy that I rushed to my window and jumped out; I hurried and went to the only spot where I could make myself happy.

I was sitting there lost in thought when I heard a voice and realized it was Lucas.

Hey, Lora, what's up with the sad face?

I glance at him, and when he sits near to me, I wipe on his body vigorously.

What happened, Lora? Take a look at me and tell me what happened.

I was in too much pain to even speak to him, and the more Jessica's death came to mind, the more my heart ached.

My friend is gone, she is gone, I sobbed on Lucas' shoulders.

Tell me what happened.

Jessica, a childhood friend of mine, has died.

Died? He asks for shock.

Yeah she's dead.

What happened?

I don't know, I truly don't know.

It's ok lora, please don't cry.

I felt safe in his hands and I just felt like staying in his hands without letting go, and I fell asleep.

It was almost night and I felt someone waking me up. I opened my eyes and saw Lucas. I stood up and gazed about and I felt very tired.

Hey lora come on is night already you need to start going home.

Hello, Lucas. I'm very sorry for making you remain here until this late.

It's nothing, Lora. I enjoy staying with you since your companionship makes me happy.

When he said that, I smiled, and he picked me up and led me home. When I walked inside my house, I noticed how frightened my family was, and when my mother approached me, I simply stopped her and asked Lucas to lead me up the stairs.

I went into my room, thanked him, shut the door, went to bed, and fell asleep.
