Full Moon Curse (by Dream) novel Chapter 35

Chapter 35

I sit back in my seat, considering everything he just said. Thinking about the first night we were here. None of them knew I was watching after I left, but they were all acting strange that night. Dallas freaked out, Cole guarded me all the way to the car, Walker got out of the car and stood guard behind Clara, and even Liam practically threw Clara in his car, and didn’t do a thing to help her. None of the guys even glanced Liam’s way while they were leaving. It was all strange how they acted, not knowing I was watching. Why put on a show for an invisible audience?

But there’s nothing about me that makes me special. Nothing that should commend change in all their behavior, maybe they’re just growing up. But what if it does have something to do with me? It doesn’t matter. No point of even thinking about it, since if I talk to them I’m likely to end up dead.

I sigh and look over at Walker. “Walker, it honestly doesn’t matter if I believe you or not. Things get worse for me when I’m around you guys. I was given a clear warning to stay away, and I’m still not completely healed from the last attack. I can’t go through it again unless I’m ready to die.” His face turns murderous, but he speaks calmly, “Do you think they were trying to kill you?” He asks, and I look out my window. “At first, it crossed my mind, but the more I thought about it, I think they were just giving me a warning. Maybe not realizing my body couldn’t withstand as much as they gave. I think if it happens again, I will die.” I see his grip tighten on the steering wheel.

Walker calms himself and looks over at me. “What can we do, Amy? None of us are willing to lose you. No matter how hard you push us away, we don’t plan on giving up.” He says sweetly. I inwardly sigh, “Look, I appreciate you telling me all of this, but it doesn’t change anything. I’ll stop being out right rude to you guys, but we can’t hang out anymore. I can’t risk it, I’m too close to my goals. I don’t want to be friends anymore.” I finish quietly. Hating how bad my heart hurts right now. He sounds so sincere, but even if it’s the truth it doesn’t change the target on my back, being friends with them again will just make it larger.

He sighs and nods, gripping the steering wheel tighter. “Alright, Amy. We’re still going to be protecting you however we can, but we’ll respect your wishes. Granted Liam and Dallas might be a little hard to convince, I’ll try though.” He says as he starts the car. When he pulls out, he goes the opposite way from my house or school. ” Where are we going now?” I ask, he smiles. “I was thinking we could just drive around for a little while. We have a little time before school is out, and I figure you don’t want to have to explain to your mom why you skipped.” I smile and nod.

We drive around the country roads in the pack for a long time before I start getting sleepy. Walker doesn’t talk the whole time we just sit and listen to music, keeping our thoughts to ourselves. It’s extremely peaceful, and I can’t help it when my eyes finally close.
