My Second Chance

Ryder's P.O.V

I came in to see Sapphire stare into space with an angry expression. She looked like she was ready to murder someone and piss herself at the same time.

"Kitten, what's wrong?" I asked her pointedly. "Ummm... nothing." She gave me a weak smile. "Then what's that piece of paper crumpled in your fist?" I growled, upset that she lied.

She gulped visibly.

Sapphire's P.O.V

I felt something move behind me. "Done so soon?" I asked without turning around, focusing on placing the last piece of bacon onto Ryder's plate. I suddenly felt a shivery feeling, you know, those when somebody's fingers are close to your skin. Yeah, those. Then I became aware of the heated and piercing gaze on my neck. That's when it clicked, I smelt an old musty scent instead of Ryder's delicious ones.

I spun around, only to find myself facing thin air.

"Who's there?" I called out, in a defensive stance. Nobody answered and the kitchen remained empty and quiet. Must be my imagination, I shrugged. No, I'm hell sure someone was behind us, Drew growled. I felt it too, Gwen frowned. Nah, people don't disappear into thin air, it's just our imagination, I convinced them. Yeah, this must be it, Gwen said sighing in relieve. Guys, we caught another scent, and we both know that it doesn't belong to a werewolf, Drew argued. Enough, it was nothing. There should be a scientific explanation for it if it's real, I argued back. I felt a nagging feeling and knew that I was just trying to turn from the truth. I was sure there was someone. There isn't any for werewolves or demons, Drew snorted. But- That's when I felt my words clog in my throat.

that I was the one to hurt him, I would feel guilty. If I felt guilty, I would feel depressed. If I feel depressed, I wouldn't eat. If Iwouldn't eat, I would be torturing myself. If I don't want to keep torturing myself, I would find some release. If I use drinking and drugs as a release, I'll get in trouble with the law. If I get trouble with the law, I would give up on life. If I give up on life, I would do something stupid like jumping down from a building. And that my dear fellow people, is my theory of lowering the suicide ratings. Always think far and clear before making

features softened a little, seeing my scared state. "Give him the paper Sapph. We need to know in order to help." Clover frowned, facing me. "Thank you for helping me in this matter, Clover." I said sarcastically. "You're welcome." She smiled sweetly and I rolled my eyes. "You are definately on your period." Clover sniffed and I almost choked at the piece of bacon I stuffed into my mouth just a second ago. "Yup, she is. And Sapphire, pass me the paper before I forcefully take it from you." Ryder stated calmly. I internally cringed. He would freak out if he sees
