The Moon`s Shadows, Ashley Kielak [the snowy day read aloud txt] 📗

to help your self is fine by me,” he gestured his hand in a `go ahead` manner.
I smiled at him and then looked over at Max and she nodded she knew what I needed to do I have been doing it for years to calm down and not rip someone’s head off. I held the pillow with both hands the held onto it for dear life as I pulled my arms away ripping the pillow in half in the processes. When I finished ripping it I tossed it in the trash. Looking up at them I noticed a smile form on Samuel’s face.
“What?” I asked looking at the amused look on his face.
“I love your way of controlling your anger, it reminds me of how I acted when I was your age,” he smiled a genuine smile like it was made for her. She blushed at her own thought and looked down when she spoke,” well now I can go see Mr. Salazar, but if I become angry there just walk me away so I don`t have to see him, okay?” I was curious to know more about this Samuel guy he was hot—just then my phone rang I ran and grabbed it off my desk. I recognized the number instantly and answer.
“Hey baby what was your punishment,” I said to Danny who was on the other line. I had almost forgotten about him for a moment seeing as um Samuel, and my brother being killed by my best friend.
“Um no punishment just a warning,” he sounded sad.
“What’s wrong baby you sound upset,” I felt like I knew the answer, because if he had found out Justin, my brother, had died he would be devastated. Justin and he became real good friends after they meet through me.
“Justin`s body was found in my room,” he stuttered the words `my room`. I stared at him in shock.
“How in the hell did his body end up in your room?” I asked him looking back at Max with an eyebrow raised in question. She just shrugged her shoulders.
“I don’t know! How the hell would I know!” he shouted.
“Hey calm do you’re just upset don’t chew me out because of what happened,” I said.
Max laughed at what I said.
“What?” I asked.


“It’s funny because we are werewolves and we chew,” max laughed again and I lost it once again.
“ha-ha that is pretty funny but—SHUT THE HELL UP YOU FUCKING BITCH,”I dropped my cell phone and walked to stand in front of her and yell in her face,” YOU KILLED MY F-ING BROTHER NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR JOKES OKAY I AM ABOUT ONE SECOND FROM RIPPING YOUR HEAD OFF THAT PREETY LITTLE NECK OF--,”
I was suddenly five feet away from where I was standing and was now on the ground. Samuel had pulled me away from Max. I looked around and saw my phone lying on the ground and Danny’s voice yelling my name on the other side of the phone line. I took a deep breath and crawled over to my phone and picked it up. Danny was yelling asking what happened.
“Danny, Danny, I’m fine it’s okay,” I tried to get through to him as he panicked.
I suddenly smelled the scent of my blood. I looked down as a black liquid began to ooze out of my forearm. I notice that the scratches from Samuel`s nails when he had threw me were dallied because of my immortality.
“Hey Danny I`ll call you back,” I said staring at Samuel with pure hatred as I closed the phone Danny yelling `wait! `. I put the phone back in my pocket and shot daggers at Samuel.
“Well, um, I think I will take you to see Johnny tomorrow, Ms. Turner,” he said as he turned and left the room shooting a worried look back at me before he closed the door.
I looked over at Max, who was now frozen with fear. I then replayed the past few moments and looked back up at her apologetically. I stood up and walked over to her and she took a fear filled step back. I stopped mid step and looked into her fear filled eyes.
I casted my eyes down as I spoke,” Max,” I saw her flinched to the sound of her name out of the corner of my eye,” I’m sorry I was acting out of shock and I was scared, I`m sorry,” I looked back up when I felt her pull me into a hug.
Frozen for a second I returned the hug. She pulled back and looked at me. Her face spread into a huge smile and she started to giggle. I relaxed further and join on in.
Once the laughing stopped I said,” So you’re not mad,”
She smiled and said,” of course I’m not mad I get it Li-Elizabeth,”
I shook my head and laughed again,” you can call me Lizy, okay,”
She just smiled and pulled me into a hug. Then in the next second my phone rang. We pulled apart and I grabbed my phone and answered it.
“Hello,” I said.
“Hello Missy Lizy,” spoke a strange voice on the other end. I froze once again.
The last person that called me that was my ex-boyfriend Ronnie. This was just great, like I didn`t have enough drama in my life right now. I took a deep breath.
“What do you want Ronnie?” I asked as I made eye contact with Max whose eyes grew huge when I said Ronnie`s name. She remembered him and I know Danny would to because the last time they saw him was when I had screamed my lungs out at Ronnie when I found out that he had cheated on me. Then they both comforted me when I cried for hours after I broke up with him. Danny was so sweet to me back then. That’s what I miss the most is the first year or month or whatever it is the guy is always so sweet to you.
Ronnie spoke in his old sweet loving voice,” I wanted to warn you so you wouldn’t try to rip my head off when you saw me,”
“What!?” I asked momentarily confused.
I heard him sigh heavily through the phone. Then it sounded like he ran a hand through his hair. I was getting anxious.
Finally he said,” I enrolled at Marilyn Manson`s Academy. I start there next week with the other day or more late registrations people. I figured I would let you know so you-or anyone else-would try and kill me the second you saw me,”
I thought about that for a moment. I guess when we dated he did pay a little attention to me. He was right, if he hadn’t warned I probably would have tried to kill him the moment I saw him.
“Well I guess you only called to protect yourself, right?” I was becoming bored.
“No,” he spoke the word as if I had offended him.
“Then what is your other reason for calling me at this weird hour?” I asked.
He hesitated. It seemed as though he was afraid to tell me his other motive.
“I missed you,” he said the words like they held all the answers in the world. I was speechless. I locked eyes with Max, she didn`t know what was wrong but read the look on my face and tilted her head to the side like a dog with a question.
“Umm…,” I didn’t know what to say.
He chuckled a low sweet chuckle,” Yea it’s true I missed you and now you don`t know what to say,”
