The first kiss

CHAPTER FOUR

CHRIS

I stood by my window watching the sky my heart racing continuously. "It's almost time", I said weakly and retired to my bad.

I sat there for a few minutes undecided of the next step to take, then made a decision. I stood up, picked up my helmet wore my gloves and left the room.

"Sir dinner is ready", the chef said to me upon getting to the sitting room.

"I never said I was hungry, clean up the dining if my parents aren't coming home", I replied and dashed out of the house.

I was already feeling heavy and uneasy, I jumped on my bike and rode out of the building with the help of the security who was quick to open the gate without questioning me.

AVRIL

My heartbeat increased vehemently, I could feel my chest burning. I wondered what my brother and this guy needed handcuffs and chains for.

I started feeling uneasy, my head was swelling and aching, and I was feeling heavy. It was like someone else was about to pop out of my body.

It all happened in a second and I couldn't explain it all but I saw myself growling and snarling. I had claws and fangs.

I stood up roughly and pushed both of them down as they tried to stop me, I was too strong for them. I saw Ariel's arm bleeding but for some reason, I didn't pay any attention as I dashed out of the house still growling and snarling.

I woke up the next morning on my bed, I was feeling very weak and tired. I still had to attend school else I'd just continue sleeping.

Then thoughts of last night flashed in my head making my heart skip.

'Did I really transform into a warewolf or was it just a nightmare?' I thought.

My head was banging continuously, I removed the blanket that covered my body and sat up on the bed. I heard my door handle turn gently, then the door went open. Ariel walked in slowly and closed the door behind him, he bolted it afterwards making me wonder. He slowly proceeded to my bed keeping his gaze fixed on the tiled floor.

"How are you feeling my lovely sister?" He asked sitting on my foam, he was wearing this wide smile I knew he was forcing.

"What happened yesterday? What did you and your friend do to me?" I asked almost in tears.

"What are you talking about? We just went to visit Tyson and then we returned home, what else were you thinking happened?" He replied trying so hard to feign ignorance.

"Ariel this is not funny! You and I know something supernatural happened and here you are trying to play the dumb card on me... It won't work!"

"Avril you have to calm down and let me explain", he replied placing his left hand on my thigh.

I rolled my eyes angrily. "Explore what? That you knew all along I was a warewolf? I was bitten by one that night? God damn it! You didn't bother to say a word to Ariel I thought we were allies?" I responded a drip of tears escaping my left eye.

"I am sorry Avril, I didn't know how to tell you, I didn't know how to tell you that you were now a creature you hate the most", Ariel replied bowing his face.

I sobbed gently and lowered my face to my feet. Ariel held me up and hugged me tightly placing my head on his chest. He was taller than me even when we sat.

"I am sorry Avril, we'd find a way to keep this away from mom and dad", he replied caressing my back.

"Why? Because they are going to kill me? Ariel am I going to remain a warewolf the rest of my life?".

Ariel was quiet for some time, he stared at me with so much pity.

"Yes, love. I am sorry about that", he replied slowly.

I couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Avril you can't be doing this, we have to go to school. Will you appear in school with a swollen eye and tell the school what exactly?" Ariel asked me wiping my tears with his shirt.

"I just can't help it, Ariel, how can I survive as a warewolf? What if I get killed by Mom and dad? Or by other warewolf hunters out there?"

"Nothing will happen to you Avril, there are other warewolf out there who have lived for years without being caught. You're of an advantage as Tyson is ready to teach you how to control yourself even during the full moon".

I sniffed. I wished that was a relief but it wasn't anything close, my heart was breaking.

"How did I get home?"

"Tyson and I searched for you throughout the night, we found you by 3 am and I brought you home".

I sighed, my head was aching badly and I really wanted to forget whatever it was that was happening, I wanted it all to just end.

"I'll just dress up for school", I said and stood up.

"Okay then, see you downstairs for breakfast, Jumai prepared something and we are almost late for school", Avril replied and pecked my forehead before leaving.

I finished dressing up and went downstairs for breakfast.

Jumai suspected Ariel and me and asked too many questions, Ariel had answers to all her questions, but I wouldn't dispute the fact that Ariel is very very smart.

CHRIS

I sat in Avril's class waiting patiently for her to come to school. She was always the first to arrive in her class, I wondered why she was late today.

I prayed inwardly that no one comes in before she does, I already made up my mind on what to do. I'd go for the kiss and damn the consequences.

I sat on a desk at the extreme of the classroom listening carefully to enable me to dictate when she'd arrive by the door.

I heard footsteps outside and prayed for it to be Avril.....

I could perceive Avril's scent strongly, I smiled inwardly.

"Good morning my love", I greeted Avril on sighting her. She was startled.

"Oh my goodness!!" She said almost in a scream holding her chest.

"What? Did I scare you?" I asked. I stood up from the desk and started walking towards Avril.

"You wish! What do you want with me?" She asked staring at me with scorn.

"The priest always told us to be sincere right?" I asked grinning to one side of my lips.

"Come out with it!" She said angrily.

"I just want a kiss from you, just one and I promise to stay away", I replied and she scoffed.

"Why? You don't want it?" I asked still grinning.

She rolled her eyes making me want her the more.

"Chris or whatever you decide to give yourself as a name I am not interested in whatever you......."

I didn't wait for her to finish her statement as I dragged her closer to me and kissed her.
