I grin while running through the forest, my brown hair swaying from side to side, while my red knee length skirt is flowing up but I keep it down my holding on to it.
I'm wearing a red cloak, like Red Riding Hood.
I laughed when he caught me, "Jordan stop tickling me," I giggle pushing his hands away.
"Jessica, it’s getting dark, we better get back." He tells me and I pout "Your no fun," I huff, crossing my arms but shriek a laugh when he swept me off my feet.
I laughed hitting his chest, but yawn and snuggle into his warmth.
It is getting dark.
"Tell me something I need to know, then take my breath and never let it go..." I suddenly sang looking into his brown eyes. He smiled softly at me "If you just let me invade your space, I'll take the pleasure, take it with the pain..." He continued the song.
It was pretty weird to her his masculine voice sing a song by Ariana Grande but while he was busy I escaped his hold and took steps away from him.
"And if in the moment I bite my lip, baby, in that moment you'll know this is-" I suddenly laugh, running away from him, I heard him yell out to me but I just ignore him, enjoying the beauty of the forest.
I stopped running when I saw a red wolf, which is looking at me; I smile at it, walking closer.
The wolf tilts its head while looking at me, I kneel down and smile "Wolfie," I coo at it and it walks closer to me, I reached my hand out to it.
When it was about to sniff my hand, Jordan came out of nowhere and took my hand while he pulled me behind him.
He's always a buzz kill.
The wolf snarled at Jordan and I hit his back "Jordan, your making the wolf mad!" I whine, pushing him out of the way.
"Jessica! This wolf could kill you!" He growls at me and I shrink back, looking down, he yelled at me it means he's serious.
"Sorry," I mumble, looking at the wolf instead of Jordan, the wolf's eyes soften when looking at me the wolf looked at Jordan and growled.
What a sweet wolf.
Jordan was in front of me shielding me away from the wolf, but I'm still in the wolf's vision.
"Jessica, run." Jordan orders me and I sigh nodding and running to where the exit of the forest is, weirdly, I know this forest like the back of my hand.
When I neared home I saw Jeyden, Jordan's brother, at the exit opening his arms for me, I smiled, forgetting the scene earlier and jumping into his arms, I love hugs.
Jordan must have called Jeyden to visit; he was in Florida for business.
"You got paler," I giggled poking his cheek; he grinned at me showing off his white teeth.
We went to their castle, as I like to call their mansion.
We went to my room where its color is red and white, I giggle jumping on my bed "Do you think I should dye my hair red?" I ask Jeyden, he curls a lock on his pointer finger and looks me in the eye, "Hmm... No, I think it's prettier this way." He smiles at me and I grin.
Jordan's loud voice thundered "JEYDEN!" He yells, surprisingly it was heard from my room. He must be really angry for his voice to reach the fourth floor.
Jeyden sighed and patted my shoulder while walking out of the room, my shoulders slumped but I went out of my room and ran to the direction Jeyden went I saw Jordan with Jeyden so I followed where they were going and blocked Jordan's way "Why are you angry Jordan?" I ask him pouting, he looks at me and it casts downward to my lips, but looks into my eyes again, "You are not allowed to go into the woods again, Jessica." He tells me while his eyebrows are scrunched, making it obvious that he's angry.
I shrink back "B-but why?" I ask him my voice squeaky "Because I said so!" He yells at me and tears start to fall.
I ran down the hallway to the front door, "Jessica!" I hear them both yell but I ignored them, I went to the forest, Disobeying Jordan's orders, then suddenly a hand shots out and holds onto my wrist.
I gasp looking at the man holding on to me, he was handsome, but I don't know him.
"Mine," He growls pulling me to him, hugging me. "Ashton! Let go of Jessica!" I heard Monica yell, I saw the group coming towards us, I smile at them waving. I could be bipolar sometimes.
"Mine." He growls and everyone turned shocked "NO!" Jordan's booming voice echoed through the forest.
Birds flew out from their trees and flew away freely; I wonder when I could be like them, free.
Monica, Isabella, Jeyden, Zach held on to Jordan, he was super duper angry.
When I was about to walk to them the guy named Ashton pulled me close to him and pushed a cloth to my nose, I trashed from his hold and Jordan saw me struggling he turned red with anger.
That was the last thing I saw before everything turned black.
Chapter 1 | Forgotten
↓
Waking up in a white room I furrow my eyebrows, did it rain in my room and removed the red on my walls?
Wait, that's impossible.
I stood up and look around the room. I went to the door opening it, the smell of pancakes hit me and I followed the smell, leading to the kitchen.
Looking in I found a blonde cooking pancakes, while Ashton was sitting on one of the counter's chairs. He sniffed the air and looked to where I was standing, I squeaked and walked back.
He stood up walking in my direction and pulling me into him, he was massaging my left wrist where I have freckles, and yes I do have freckles there so take that.
"Jessica," He mumbles staring into my brown eyes, I nod looking into his blue eyes. "Blue." I suddenly blurt out and he looks at me eye brows raised I shrug my shoulders smiling, his eyes soften.
"Are you hungry?" he asks me and I smile at him "Yes." I manage to whisper.
He leads me to sit on the chair he occupied earlier and the blonde girl served them to me, "Hi! I'm Hayley, I'm Ashton's sister." She smiles at me and I nod smiling.
She's bubbly.
"Can I have nutella?" I ask them, well I'm kidnapped, might as well take advantage of their enormous kitchen. "Sure, I'll just get some." Hayley says.
As she places the Nutella jar in front of me I spread some on my pancake and ate it.
After eating they both led me to their living room. I asked them a question "What time is it?" I look at Hayley first before looking at Ashton "7:30" they both say, I stood up.
"Thanks for breakfast, but I need to go home." I say to them, looking for the door, avoiding their gazes.
Ashton stood up and pulled me to his chest growling lowly "You’re not going home," He says to me flatly and my eyes tear up "B-but I like it at home," I frown thinking about not going home.
"This is your home," he holds me tighter "I want to go home." I start to cry.
"Why don't you like it here?" Ashton asks me slightly sad, I sniff "I like to go home because I have friends there, my red room is there, all my clothes are there, I left my cloak there, I left my pictures there, and I left Jordan there." I mumble the last part and he growls "You can have new friends here, you can paint our room red, we can buy new clothes, we can let someone sew you a new cloak, we can make new pictures and I'm here." He holds me closer, if that's possible.
Scientifically, maybe yes, but I'm not smart.
"I can't," I shook my head, removing his embrace and running to a narrow hallway where a door is at the end of the hall, throwing it open a forest greets me. I'm surprised no one stopped me, yet.
This is the forest that is connected to our front yard at the castle.
I run through, leaves crunching below me. I heard loud slaps of footsteps behind me and I run faster, pushing myself.
What the hell?
I looked back, like they did in the movies but they get caught.
I saw Ashton with Hayley running after me. I focused back my attention in front of me, but I fell on my knees, I held on to the tree standing up and start to run while limping.
I reached a part of the woods that I'm familiar with and I dash through, nearing the castle I yell out "Red! Red! Red!" all over again.
The doors open and Jordan comes out, he suddenly smiles when he saw me, he ran towards me and He hugged me when he got near me.
I felt comfortable when I'm with him so I closed my eyes.
Someone growled behind us and I craned my neck to see Ashton with a bunch of well-built guys, how come I didn't see them when I looked back? Jordan pushes me behind him and I cling to his back, hiding from Ashton and his friends.
To tell everyone the truth, I'm scared of Ashton, not only he growls but his eyes turn black when he gets angry, and I kind of saw his canines sharpen.
"Give me my mate," I hear Ashton snarl at Jordan while his friends growl.
Is he Australian? Cool.
Isabelle and the others might have heard the growls because they came rushing out of the castle and stepping in front of Jordan and I, like they were protecting us.
Power rangers! Get in gear!
"Monica, Isabelle take Jessica inside." Jordan orders and they nod holding on to me and helping me inside the castle, I gave one last weary glance at Ashton who was pleading me with his eyes, why? I really don't know.
They led me to my room where they let me lay on my bed. Monica sat at the end of my bed while Isabelle was sitting next to me, stroking my hair.
"What’s happening outside?" I ask, looking at Isabelle. Her eyes soften and she shakes her head "Nothing, they're just talking about business," She tells me, something’s wrong about her tone.
"Like the meetings you guys always do?" I ask another question and Isabelle smiles at me, meaning it’s a yes.
I just look at my ceiling.
"Where is my cloak?" I blurt out sitting up. Monica stands up and goes through my wardrobe and gets my red cloak, I smile.
I must have left it here when I followed Jeyden and Jordan, while me being me I ran to the front doors and disobeying Jordan that I'm not allowed to go to the forest anymore.
Standing up I wore it and faced Isabelle "Can we go to Jordan?" I ask her and she looks down shaking her head, I sit down beside her and held her hand "Please?" I ask her almost begging and she sighs.
"How about we sing a song?" Monica suggests and I smile nodding frantically.
"I heard a song on the radio, jump along when you get the hang of it" I tell them which they nodded at, "The day I, first met you, you told me you never fall in love..." I sang "But now that, I get you, I know fear is what it really was," Isabelle sang knowing the song. "Now here we are so close yet so far haven't I passed the test," Monica jumped along shrugging.
I grinned and continued the song "when will you realize? Baby I'm not like the rest! Don't wanna break your heart I wanna give your heart a break, I know you're scared it's wrong like you might make a mistake." I shook my head smiling.
"Now what?" Monica asks me and I shrug "I forgot the lyrics," I poked her cheek, she laughed swatting my hand away "Why do you always poke our cheeks?" Isabelle laughed tickling me, I laugh "Because you’re all pale, like a vampire." I murmur the last part and they got more paler.
I giggle poking their cheek.
I stand up skipping to my door and throwing it open, I went to the staircase and slid down the railings, like Cinderella but Red Riding Hood style!
I heard Isabelle and Monica's footsteps behind me so I walked faster to the doors, when I was supposed to open it. The door got opened by Jordan who engulfed me in a hug.
"What happened outside?" I asked him looking into his brown eyes. He smiled at me "The mean men are no longer here, Jessica." I nod placing my head on his chest.
"I'm glad your back, princess." He murmured kissing my forehead.
"Let's have dinner shall we?" He asks me and I bit my lip smiling and skipping to the dining room. He sat next to me and served me food "Where's Zach and Jeyden?" I ask while shoving a spoon-full of lasagna in my mouth.
Jordan coughed awkwardly and looked at me "They are handling business outside," I nodded eating silently.
**Jeyden's Pov**
"Red! Red! Red!" someone yelled from the outside and Jordan stood up and ran outside of the mansion. I shook my head; the boy has been worried sick of Jessica since yesterday.
Who wouldn't be? Jessica's so fragile that she can break if you just yell at her.
When he saw Jessica get kidnapped my Ashton he blamed himself for snapping at Jessica, He knew that she's sensitive and fragile, and she could not think straight when she's yelled at.
He has sent out guards to look for Jessica, and he snapped at everyone when they tried to talk to him.
He hunted some wolves just to know where he took her; he got seriously angry when Ashton the Alpha of the RedBlood pack said that Jessica was ‘his’.
We heard growls from outside of the mansion and I stood up Zachary, Isabelle and Monica stood up also, we rushed outside to find the Alpha of the RedBlood pack and his wolves.
"Give me back my mate," Ashton the Alpha snarled at Jordan, We stood in front of Jordan and Jessica to keep them out of sight.
Barely, we're only a couple of vampires but we can take these mutts.
"Isabelle, Monica take Jessica inside." Jordan orders while the girls held on to Jessica taking her inside.
Once they are gone the wolves shifted "Give me back my mate." Ashton snarled again and Jordan snarled back "No!" he yelled, his booming voice echoed again through the forest.
"She is not yours! She's mine!" Jordan yelled again, fury in his eyes.
Another werewolf came towards Ashton in human form whispering something in Ashton's ear, the boy must be his Beta.
"Leave. This is our territory." I growled at them and the wolves growled at me.
Looking at Jordan his eyes were clouded, Monica is probably speaking with him because she and Jordan, is the only one who has that power.
Jordan glared at Ashton and went inside the mansion leaving me and Zachary here to talk to these mutts.
"Get out of our territory. This is no place for Mutts." Zachary smirked which angered the wolves, "Give me my mate." Ashton snarled again, I sighed "You can't have her, she's Jordan's beloved." I glared at him and he scowled "I don't care. I'll have her back even if it means killing the likes of you."
I smirked "Let's see then" I felt my canines sharpen and my eyes turn into slits while I charge at the pathetic excuse of an Alpha.
