Sunrise or Midnight, Kate Brown [miss read books txt] 📗

human form for about 2 hours passed out for 1 then back into wolf at the end of the other. He sat in the back seat staring at me. I had to stop and get gas again in Baker City, I did it quick didn't want people noticing the huge animals with me, just what I waited to explain to the cops. I was getting tired but no one else could drive so I kept right on at it, I turned the radio up and opened the windows for so fresh air I looked in the rear view mirror and say Will hanging his head out the window I started to laugh.

"Ok you two I'm getting tired we need to stop for a while"

They both whipped there head back and forth at me.

"You can protect me we'll stop at a truck stop and I'll rest there a lot of people around then"

I stopped off in La Grande at the first truck stop I saw. I parked by all the semi's and turned the truck off. I crawled into the back seat William layed on the floor and put his head on my lap I fell asleep about 10 minutes later. I woke to a horn blaring next to the truck. I shot up William and Kota growled I looked at the truck stereo it was 4 in the morning I got about 3 hours a sleep and I felt rested I climbed into the driver seat and got back on the highway. An hour later Kota and William were in human form and they both were sleeping.

POV
William

I turned into a beast while sleeping, I woke and Midnight was staring at me she looked worried and was trying to figure out who I was I wanted to hold her but I also wanted to run away from her I didn't want her to see me like this. The sun came up and I wasn't turning back Kota was talking about how it could be different things and I knew it was because Midnight wasn't safe yet not until we got out of here. I changed back about 2 hours before sunset and passed out it too so much out of me then, I woke up and pretty much turned back again. I turned back again when the sun came up and I fell asleep about an hour later.

"Hey were are we"

"About 15 minutes from, The Dalles I'll stop and get gas and we can stretch"

"Wake me when we get there, then you can get some sleep"

"Ok sounds good to me"

I fell back asleep for a little bit. Midnight woke me up when we stopped. I pumped the gas and went to the restroom. When I got back out to the truck Kota was sitting in the passenger seat sleeping but I didn't see Midnight any where. I looked around and listened then I heard soft breathing in the truck other than Kota's I walked over to the truck and looked in the back seat Midnight was fast asleep. I smiled I climbed up into the truck and go onto the highway. I drove the rest of the way to Olympia, it was beautiful out here.

"Hey Midnight"

I tapped the back of the seat Midnight shot straight up and Kota sat straight up and wiped at his eyes.

"What's up"

"We're almost there about ten minutes or so"

"Okay thanks"

Midnight climbed up front between me and Kota and was looking around.

POV
Midnight

I had lived here a year ago I really enjoyed it there was always something to do. I enjoyed going to the coast and surfing.

"Get on hwy 101"

"What I thought we were staying in Olympia" Kota looked confused

"No just another town we are passing through we're gonna head toward Capitol State Park. Theirs a place called Straddle Line Raceway we'll stay there for a couple of days to get some rest and go looking"

"I've heard about that place it's pretty big"

"Yea theirs a lot of National Parks and Forest around here"

"So how long you think we'll stay"

"Well Kota I'm not sure, depends on if those things find us here too or not"

"Yea I guess that's something we got to think about too"

We drove on Hwy 101 for about 45 minutes then we turned onto hwy 8. We stayed on that for probably an hour then we saw the sign for the Raceway. We pulled in and got a sight right away we let the horses out on lead roped and they walked around grazing.

"Hey Will you want to help me get the grill out"

"Yea give me a second"

We got the grill out and made some food the boys ate 4 hamburgers each I had 2 they tasted great we sat around for a while and enjoyed not being in the truck. I decided to go for a walk by myself to see if I saw anything that looked out of place, I didn't hear anything or smell anything like I did at the last place. It was weird it was to quiet. The sun started going down so I took off at a slow jog toward camp then I heard a scream and ran even fast.

When I got back to camp Kota was sitting in a chair listening to the screams ignoring them was more like it.

"Hey what the hell is the screaming"

"William"

"And your not helping him why"

"Because I don't want to get shredded"

"So you could still help him, you heal fast then me. Plus why is he changing"

"No idea don't want to find out either"

As I walked by I tipped his chair backwards. I ran the rest to the camper and opened the door and got in side quick. William was on the camper floor withering in pain I fell on my knees and pulled him to me.

"No get away I might hurt you"

"I'll be fine"

William started to shake and he screamed again, He was so hot to the touch.

"Kota I need water"

The camper door opened and he threw a bottle of water in then shut the door, I could hear him walking to his chair again. I opened the bottle and had Will open his mouth and poured some in. His shaking got worse, I lifted his shirt and he was getting furry. I got up slowly and set him down carefully.

"Get out" it was all slurred because he was changing

"I'll be fine you won't hurt me"

I got up on the bed and watched him. I felt so bad for him, but I also wanted to know why this was happening looks like I would be searching hardest the next couple of days to find a pack and learn some things. I looked up at the clock it was about 9 and by the time William was fully changed it was 10:30 his fur was beautiful it was almost all black with a couple of grey spots where as Kota's was mostly red with so black.

William lifted his head off the floor and looked right at me I smiled. He got up and I could feel the whole camper move. There was a knock at the door I guessed it was Kota.

"Is it safe"

"Yea Kota your good"

The door opened and Kota got into the camper quick and shut the door.

"Well I've never seen a wolf this color before. Which by the way is weird because I've seen tons of wolves"

"Really never"

"Not once"

Kota pulled his bed out and looked at me making sure it was fine if he slept in here, I nodded my head that it was fine. I threw a pillow at him and William grabbed it out of the air and spun and threw it back at me. We both started to laugh William did little yips like he was laughing too. I finally was able to get the pillow to Kota. William must have decided he was tired because he jumped up on the bed and curled around me like he was a blanket. It felt good to know that I was wanted and safe.

I woke up around 3 in the morning to see William was still curled around me and Kota had crawled up on the bed too. I smiled and tried to go back to sleep but before I became unconscious again I heard things moving around outside of the camper. I sat up and when I did it woke Will up and Kota woke up because Will almost rolled over him.

I put my finger to my lips and then touched my ear they both tilted their heads up.

"You hear it" I whispered

Will opened his mouth and made quick biting movements like he wanted to attack something and Kota nodded his head and I saw that his eyes had changed to his blue grey. We sat there and listened and before long sleep took me. I woke again around 9 in the morning to Will sitting over me and Kota laying next to me. When I looked up I noticed Will was not asleep and looked like he hadn't slept since I last woke up.

"They still out there" I whispered

He shook his head at me. When I tried to sit up he got off the bed and that woke Kota up. Kota sat up slowly yawned and rubbed at his eyes.

"You guys want to go for a run"

"Yea that sounds great"

Will nodded his head and stretched the length of the camper.

"Go wait outside and I'll get changed"

Kota opened the door and him and Will got out and shut the door. I changed into my work clothes and put my shoes on. When I got out of the camper the people surrounding our camp site was looking at Will. Their eyes were huge I just hoped no one asked me what kind of dog he was. We took off down a trail Will stayed by my side while Kota took the lead we ran for miles. By the time we stopped it was around 1. I looked around and listened it was to quiet William was pacing back and forth and Kota was sitting on a log.

"You want to keep going"

"I haven't heard anything out and about or moving underneath us either. So it's up to you"

"How about we go for a couple more miles then turn back"

"Sounds good to me"

Kota got up and took off then he just vanished into thin air.
Chapter 15

William growled and pawed at the ground.

"KOTA, Where are you"

I listened and very softly I could hear "Help me" I ran in the direction of the noise. I looked down into a hole and there were spikes and a couple of dead animals and Kota layed there looking up at me.

"I'm coming don't worry, I'll get you out of there, try not to move"

When I looked closely I saw that he had a couple spikes in him one through his leg and one through his right shoulder.

"William watch out for us up here ok"

He nodded his head. I slowly started to climb down the hole toward Kota.

"Be careful don't fall" Kota was watching me closely

"I won't"

I got down to the bottom started to pull stakes
