Chapter 72

• Hayley's POV
• I took short, labored breaths, which my lungs barely could contain as I made clutzy hasty steps along the corridor. Every single sound reverberated through me in terror from each shadow alert, expecting to hear a werewolf at my heels. It was too hard to keep the two worlds separate, and when paired with the fear of being caught by this animal that had taken him out at school, Manny found himself unable to bear down. Desperately looking for somewhere to take refuge, I marched on, resolving in my heart and mind that whatever was next had to be planned.
• I rounded the corner, a neon sign casting light upon my path, consequently lighting up the momentarily illuminated sidewalk strobing under some foreboding corner bar. In the midst of all this turmoil, I saw it as a shining light to relax and rest. I couldn't continue another moment; wanting shelter from the threats about me, I crawled slowly towards it.
