Chapter 17- Red Converse Save My Life
I woke up in a hospital bed. The room surrounding me was sterile white. I looked at my arm and wished I hadn't seen it. It was drenched in dry blood and turned the right way but, you could almost see the bone. Needles were stuck in my arms and legs. I could barely see it but, there was something protruding from my leg. A piece of metal? There were people outside the room, but I don't remember who they were. I racked my memory. My brain identified them as the truck driver and the boy. The boy pointed at me and said something to the driver. A doctor walked by and let them in.
" Are you okay?" the boy exclaimed.
" I'm alive, does that count?" I said in a hoarse voice.
" Are you by any chance, supernatural?" the boy asked, whispering the last word.
" Why would you ask?" I started acting slightly afraid.
" I looked back once and you were human, and again, you were some kind of dog" the driver said. I used a deep growl on the line.
" That answered your question" I said, closing my eyes momentarily.
" That's a yes, I'm assuming?" asked the boy. I opened my eyes. I was blinded by the light for a second. Five figures entered the room. The driver and boy were heading out the door.
" Wait!" I attempted to ask something. " You, the blonde! What's your name?" I asked.
" Tony, the name is Tony" he said.
" Thank you for taking care of me" I thanked. They left.
The doctor came up to me and said" You're lucky, those shoes took a beatin' for you" he said, holding up the pair of red Converse. There was a giant hole in the left shoe. " That metal fragment in your foot was the remains, otherwise it would have most likely killed you" he said, still holding the pair of shoes. " Now I'll leave you alone for now" he said, walking out the door an closing it behind him.
Emma, Quinn, Jason, Henry, and Seth were standing there.
" Hey, dog- boy" Seth taunted.
" You know what will happen when I'm out of here and running" I said. The others laughed.
" You should seriously stop being stupid and almost killing yourself" Emma continued, " First, getting shot, next being captured with my boyfriend, and now this!"
" 2 of those weren't my fault" I complained.
" Do I care?" she asked very sarcastically.
" Yes?" I questioned.
" Of course! We don't need our" she looked around briefly, " Alpha killing himself on the job!"
" What happens if I had died?" I asked, nervously.
" Umm, what we had before you came would be a good example" Quinn said.
" You mean taking orders from you?" I asked.
" Precisely" he justified.
" That's not good?" I asked.
" It's not entirely legit" Jason said.
" And other things that are wrong with that, but my rank does not allow it" he said. This was the first time he mentioned his rank in the pack.
" And that is?" I spurred him to go on with his rank.
" Omega" he said, trying to blow it off.
" Really?" I realized that he was one of the last to eat and do things.
" In fact, it's a miracle that I can even be in the presence of you" he said glumly.
" Isn't there some way to 'upgrade' the rank?" Seth suggested. We shook our heads.
" Quinn tried to do that once, it failed and no one approved" Henry said.
" Ok, sorry I don't know your traditions" Seth said.
" Well, we gotta go, so see ya tommorrow!" Emma said in a hurry, pushing the boys out of the room. I laughed.
Time skip until Jordan is out of rehab and stuff/ 4 months
I was in the cabin playing ping- pong against Quinn. I swung a good hit and it hit the table and bounced over his paddle. He tried again. He got a good hit on mine and he got a point. The score was 49-48. I slammed my paddle down on the table. I didn't notice something sticking up on my head. Quinn did though.
" What the heck?!" Quinn exclaimed out of complete surprise.
" What?" I said, thinking nothing was wrong.
" Look in a mirror" he was still was completely freaked out. I ran to the mirror in my bathroom. I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary until, I looked up on my head. Jax's ears were poking out of my head where they shouldn't be. Or at all.
"H-H-H-ow did this?" I stuttered.
" It popped out when you slammed the paddle " he said. I definitely felt the next change. Jax's tail sprouted out.
" Umm, Quinn, what is happening?" I asked, decently scared.
" I'm not a shifter! Do you expect me to know?" he complained.
" Get Doc. over here quickly!" I yelled. I waited for 5 minutes for Quinn to show up. The door burst open.
The doctor laughed, " I thought it was serious!"
" It is!" I defended myself.
" Not really, it's your sub- form" she said nonchalantly.
" A sub- form?" I asked, my wolf ears twitching.
" It's basically Jax maturing, or poking out a little" she explained.
" Ok?" I questioned.
" You should have Anika's reaction!" she exclaimed.
" And that was?" I asked.
" Oh, you were in rehab when it happened. She freaked out and ran in circles around the center of the village. I ran out and calmed her down and explained what had happened, it was funny though!"
" Oh yeah, that was pretty funny!" said Quinn, butting in the conversation.
I heard a door slam. A pounding on the steps signaled someone was coming up. Anika stepped in the doorway.
" Speak of the devil" Quinn said.
" Hey, someone got the sub today" she said looking at me.
" And unlike you, I didn't panic" I said.
" Ahem" Quinn coughed out.
" Ok, fine, a tiny bit" I lied.
" Ahem" Quinn coughed out again.
" Ok, ok, a lot bit" I admitted.
" How long does he have left?" Anika asked.
" About half an hour" Doc replied.
" Haa!" she continued, " Alpha's take longer" she teased. She walked down the stairs. Everyone left except Quinn. My tail stood between my legs.
" Umm...." I said, trying to break a silence.
" Soo what do we do now?" Quinn asked.
" Finish our ping pong game?" I suggested.
" Sure" he said. We walked down the stairs to the ping pong table that was set up in living room. I usually kept in a closet. I served. He hit it and started a rally. I tried a cocky move and it worked. I tried one from around my back in the opposite direction he expected. It bounced off the table and landed on the floor. I banged the paddle on the table in success. 49-49. Quinn served and I started a rally that lasted 37 hits. Cocky moves win the day. I took a backhand and when I got the ball again, I smashed it. It hit the very edge of the table and hit Quinn in the thigh. I ranted about the win. The Alpha wins again!
