Wolf Hearts

I woke up in a cold sweat, where was I? I looked around, seeing that I was in my room and that Sally was sleeping next to me. I guess she brought me upstairs with her. I saw a note on my dresser, despite my inner protests, I got up and read it
Dear Frank,
They canceled school today due to the murders of your three classmates, something about safety and precaution? Anyway, Sally brought you home from the movies, left, and came back an hour later saying she had a fight with her dad, take care of her until I get home, alright?
Love Mom.
I placed the note back down and sat by Sally, staring at her like a creep. She looked so innocent and vulnerable, I looked at her hands, her wrists had bruises on them and her knuckles had dried blood on them. She shifted in her sleep, letting me look at the back of her head, it was still scabbing over, but parts of it were split open to reveal pink skin underneath. Overall, he practically just did what he did last time, but the blood on her knuckles, I don't think Ollie survived this time. I left that thought and focused on Sally once more, her chest rising and falling to its own beat, then she started talking
"Frank? Frank?! Frank run, run goddamit!" She whispered
My ears perked up as she started rolling around, thrashing her arms and kicking the blankets away.
"No, don't you dare touch him! Alice get away from him!" She yelled
"FRANK!!!!"
She shot up like a bullet, she looked at me like I wasn't really there, but then rushed at me, wrapping me in a hug. Her breathing was escalated, I pulled her close, she was calming down, but she didn't want to let go.
"Frank? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, but are you?"
"Yeah"
We stood there for a while, just listening to each other's breathing.
"Sally?"
"Yeah?"
"Will you go steady with me?"
"What does that mean?"
I forgot, she's a hundred and three years old.
"I mean, will you be my girlfriend?"
She lets go, shuffling from toe to toe awkwardly.
"We've already kissed so it makes sense-"
"Frank, it's not that I don't want to, but I can't"
"Why not?"
"Frank, I killed Ollie last night, it's only a matter of time until the police come around, asking questions"
"So?"
"I have to go away, Frank, I need to leave"
"What? No! Don't go!"
"Frank, I have to"
I felt my heart break into a million pieces, I felt my stomach drop like a weight, it was so heavy I fell to my knees. She dropped down next to me, lifting my chin with her fingers, her hazel eyes were already dripping with tears. I couldn't move, I was stuck feeling like a heartbroken idiot
"When, when are you leaving?"
"Tonight" she choked out her words
I grabbed her arm and forced her to stay next to me, I looked her dead in the eyes and set my jaw
"I'm coming with you"
"Frank, but you're mom, you have someone that I'm not going to pull you away from"
"I've got nothing to lose, you've got nothing to say"
She smiles her beautiful smile, grabbing my hand and squeezes it
"We'll never go home"
I smile and in silence, the plan was settled. That was before we heard someone knocking and yelling
"This is the New Jersey police, we'd like to ask some questions"
"Hide!" I hissed
She ran towards the bathroom and I tiptoed to the door, I looked through the peephole and stared out. A man with striking blue eyes stared at the door, I got off my tiptoes and heard the ground groan as I turned flat footed. I moved towards the kitchen, going into the cupboards and closing it. Then the door was kicked down by the officer, I heard the officer go through the living room and pass by the kitchen, looking through each place skimming past the cupboards and move away from me. I pushed the cupboard open and crawled towards the kitchen knife holder, pulling a rather large one from the top and crawling towards the bathroom. He was going in there with his gun pointed inside, I ran a little too quickly and shouted a little too loudly
"Stop!" I yelled
He turned quickly and his finger caught the trigger, a bullet was flung from the gun and lodged into the center of my chest. The impact knocked me to the ground, once my head hit the floor I felt woozy and dizzy. I was holding the bullet wound, feeling blood escape the cracks between my fingers, I saw black cloud the edges of my eyes as I sat myself on my elbows. A black wolf was sitting on top of the officer, ripping his limbs and his head off in two swift motions, Sally, my Sally was eating him alive for shooting me. As the air left my lungs, I saw her hazel eyes hang over my pale face, she was still a wolf and she picked up my wrist with her mouth and bit it. I couldn't feel it though, but I was starting to see something bright and shiny, then it was black.
