"What are you doing out here anyway?".
"Isn't it obvious?" I grinned motioning to my running gear. "I like to run, usually on a beach but seeing as I don't know where that is I opted for the forest".
"You shouldn't cout here on your own it's not safe". My belly did a flop as the words left his mouth. How was it not safe? "Apparently there have been wolf sightings in these woods and I'm not talking about little small ones I'm talking about wild beasts". I couldn't help it I started to laugh. Wolves? really? was he trying to scare me? He didn't find it funny.

Was he listening to himself? He sounded crazy.
"A pack of wild wolves?" I questioned.
"Don't say I didn't warn you". As we fell into a comfortable silence I began to think more about what he said. I could have sworn I heard a wolf howl the other night. But surely that wasn't real? I mean wolves here in Texas? Before I knew it I was standing outside my back gate.
"Thank you for helpingout. I'd have probably been stuck out there for hours if you weren't kicking about". "AnytLeah but don't be going back out there on your own. Would hate to see a pretty girl get eaten". Winking athe gavea salute before jogging off to catch up with his friends.
I could smell the brewing of fresh coffee before I got inside. Pulling open the back door I noticed my gran wasn't alone. Jake, his dad and a few of his friends were sat in my kitchen eating breakfast. Well this was a surprise. "Enjoy your run?" My gran asked passinga cup of coffee. I was glad to see she had got my note. My gran was a worrier.
"I got lost" I grinned catching Jakes attention.
"Leah you have to be careful out there. There could be anything lurking about they woods. Promiseif you're going for a run you'll take someone with you next time".
See worrier.
"I'm fine I got back in one piece didn't I?" Sipping on my coffee I knew he was already boring holes in me. I had cto realise he liked to stare.

"I bumped into Kane and he broughtback. No big deal". I shrugged.
"Kane?" Jake hissed his knuckles turning white with how tight he was holding his cup. "Fucking Kane", om Teeth bared he got up knocking over bared he the Chair in the process. I wasn't going to lie it frightened me. His reaction, his stance. He looked ready to kill. "Jake" His dad warned his tone low but it held ssort of power over him, authority. And then he started to shake.
"Leah sweetheart can you doa favour, can you run and get Alanna?". Jake's dad asked but couldn't move. It was like was in a trance. I couldn't stop staring. Grabbing a hold of my shoulders he shookgently. "Go and get Alanna". So I did I ran all the way to their house.
Bursting through the front door my cheeks instantly grew hot. Alanna was a little too distracted with Kane forto be disturbing her. Turning my back on them I bit my lip "I'm sorry but you need to cwithnow. Your dad-.." And then I heard it.
