MY Matee

Kate, you better pay attention to your surroundings ..

Surroundings?

"Kate! Love! are you thinking about your friends again?

Please don't be so sad!

We'll be right there and if you keep sulking to yourself Aunt Heather will be sad too!

She's so intrigued by you and offered us to move in with her. We always really only had the best in mind for you. You know that, don't you?" my father answered. His voice sounds slightly worried.

"No-Of course Dad! I know it's not easy for you either and I'm very grateful! I-I'm sorry the sky just made me think. It's pretty dark a- an- and I hope so a thunderstorm doesn't move directly over to us!" I lied to calm him down and take his mind off the topic.

Now they think you're peeing your pants like a little girl just because of the thunderstorm ..

No. Daisy. No.

"Of course I know that the rain rate is pretty high here, but I hope that when we get to Aunt Heather's we'll bring her good weather! And she'll be all the more glad to see us.", I added quickly added. I tried very hard to look calm and hoped they would buy it.

"Oh dear, she'll be over the moon when she sees you, even a storm doesn't bother her." It came from my mother with a smile.

There you see Daisy. Haha

yeah you me too...

_____________

When we finally arrived it was actually raining. Which made me sigh. I don't mind rain per se. I love the smell of rain! However, it was almost stormy here and the thunder could not be ignored. Just as I was about to get out and just run into my aunt's big house, someone stopped me.

"Kate my favorite niece!!!

Come here and let me hug you! You look lovely if I may say so!", she chuckled after

cradling me in her arms.

"Aunt Heather, I'm your only niece too. Thanks anyway. You look great too, considering we're both soaking wet now." I couldn't help but roll my eyes and laugh at that.

"Don't you think it would be better if we go inside?" She just gave me a crooked look and started to grin after I asked my question.

"But But Kate we don't mind a bit of water. And I remember telling you to just call me Heather sweetie! But I can see you're shaking, are you cold? Or is someone

scared from thunder and lightning?" She raised an eyebrow in surprise.

The cat is out of the bag Kate!

Daisy, please shut up.

You would like that

YES!

I shook my head almost imperceptibly to block out Daisy's further comments and told Heather that I was indeed cold. She immediately took my hand and hurried into the house with me.

From the inside it just looked wonderful. The house had enough space for my parents and I and it was just stunning.

Until now, my aunt Heather was the only one who lived in this house. She is a sought-after author and earns very well. Otherwise she probably wouldn't have been able to afford this dream of a house. She has furnished it very elegantly, but I recognize that it reflects her character.

Most of the walls and floor are white. The furniture is cream and gray in color and modern in style. You feel right at home here.

I'm about to get acquainted with my new room, get rid of my soaked clothes and take a shower.

Aunt Heather was so happy that we were finally with her and chatted away with us as we stood in the living room. After what felt like 100 hours, she noticed that we were still soaking wet and after my parents had brought most of the boxes and bags from our car into the house, she led me to my long-awaited four walls, as she called it.

"If you still need any help unpacking or have anything else on your mind, just let me know. Or if you're more concerned about thunder and lightning..." Aunt Heather offered as she leaned against my door and watched me check out my new room.

But she didn't get any further because I rolled my eyes in the middle of her sentence and interrupted her.

"Heather Blitz and Donner aren't exactly my best friends, but I'm big so you don't have to worry. Okayyy? I think I'll get the unpacking going."

1.60 are not really big.

Daisy! This isn't about my size! But about the principle!!!

"Oh dear, I don't doubt that, I know that you're very good at handling everything. But you should know that you can always talk to me. About anything.", Heather grins and she winks at me.

I had turned to a box to look for some clothes and underwear because I just wanted to take a shower after a hard day. I turned to Heather in perplexity when I heard the words ABOUT EVERYTHING.

I looked at her puzzled for a while.

Until we both burst out laughing. Because we both knew that she was thinking in two ways.

She even wiped a tear from her face. I agreed that I would contact her if I had something on my mind and she walked out of my new room. She was so sympathetic to me and she seemed more like a good friend than the sister of my often strict mother.

Heather and I hit it off from the start we were a fun duo.

You mean trio!

I love you too Daisy hahah

Me too you kind of hahaha And now get your ass in the shower!!! It's half past three and you still have to unpack some boxes! So hop hop.

It's okay, I'm going!

Said and done.

After I finished showering, I wiped my hand over the sink where there was a large mirror. I looked into my blue-grey eyes and admired the patterns in my iris. If there was one thing I really liked about myself, it was my eyes. I sometimes hated my long brown hair, which almost reached my hips, because it often didn't want to be the way I would like it to be, which is why I often end up putting myself in a bun or braid.

The ironic thing is that after a while, after I put them up, I loved them. Because as soon as I freed my hair from my hair tie, it was beautifully wavy. I have a thin or petite figure. I still have curves in the right places, it's in my mother's genes. Even Aunt Heather has curves despite being so skinny. I dried my hair and got changed.

I'd spent an hour unpacking and organizing the rest of the boxes and was pretty out of breath so I threw myself on my back on the bed, exhausted.

That's what happens when you hurry to death you dumbass!

Oh Daiisyy leave me alone!

I just wanted to get it over with okay!

That's what you look like too hahahaha

I ignored Daisy because my bed was so soft!!!! My room is generally a dream. The walls are here in a beautiful light blue. My bed is not small like my previous one and only for one person. NO it is a four poster bed. The bedding is dark blue and I just love it. Next to my bed is a large window with a bench. There are purple and cream colored pillows on it. To my right is a white desk and to my left is a shelf where I have already stowed my countless books.

I could have raved more in my thoughts, but my mother's voice snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Kate, I see you've already set up your room. By the way, dinner's ready dear."

"Okay. What's for dinner mom?"

"Spaghetti with meatball sauce.

Come on."

My eyes widened. Spaghetti ! That is my favourite food!! I got up quickly and ran to my mother, who was already laughing. We walked downstairs and ate together.

In the meantime the storm had stopped and it was still light outside. Aunt Heather is in her element again and babbles like crazy. I stopped listening properly after half an hour. My attention turns to my legs instead. I looked under the dining table and noticed a black dog with hazel eyes. We saw each other for a while. He just looks so cute and I would have kept staring at him if my name hadn't been mentioned several times. I averted my gaze from this sweet creature and saw the amused faces of my family.

I stare wistfully at everyone, waiting for them to break the awkward silence. And my father is the first to interrupt her with a sigh. Followed by my giggling mother and my aunt who smiles suspiciously at me.

"Honey I just asked your parents how many boyfriends you've had and I'm shocked the number isn't in two digits.

You're so pretty and intelligent that guys must be chasing after you like nothing or not "I know your parents are strict, but you're already 19 and you deserve some fun in life.

Be open to new things. But of course take care of yourself.

You're an adult and can decide what is right and wrong so don't worry and enjoy your time at school." Heather said calmly and she looked at me brightly.

I was about to choke on my water because that was just embarrassing.

My father frowns and seems about to freak out. I'd better pull myself together and respond to her statement, since she's already looking at me with wagging eyebrows. All that's missing is that she shows her thumbs up and winks at me..

That would be great!

No it wouldn't be Daisy..

"T-thanks Heather, but I'm not that pretty." I began. "I'm having so much fun without boys...they aren't the most important thing in life anyway..

But I appreciate it Heather, Mom, Dad...thanks for trusting me and supporting me.

I will of course be careful and you don't have to worry about me." I continued.

Everyone just looked at me and nodded and I was glad to have managed to somehow put this conversation aside. I then took another sip of water and noticed something touching my legs again.

My eyes meet the black dog again and I have to smile because he is so cute.

"Kate dear, what's so interesting under the table?" came my mother's voice and she raised her left eyebrow curiously.

"Here is a black dog Mom."

"Oh that must be Bo!" Heather explains cheerfully, "He's a Schipperke. To put it bluntly, he's a little German Shepherd. He's really cute, isn't he?"

I nodded to her in agreement. "Yes he really is."

"Ah sweetheart! It occurs to me that I haven't even been out with him today. Would you like to take him for a walk in the forest? It's still light and the forest is literally around the corner." Heather even pouted. How am I supposed to tell her no.

"Of course I can do it, it's no problem.", I answered her shortly.

So here I am in the Hoh Rain Forest with Bo, who is happily jumping and running around. He's a bright little guy. Watching him just makes me happy.

Aunt Heather was right. The forest was really around the corner and it only took me about 5 minutes to find it.

At first I was worried about Bo running away, although Heather had assured me he wouldn't. Which is why I spent some time with him on a meadow in front of the forest. But then I realized that Heather was right again. So I actually went into the forest with Bo without hesitation.

I threw him a stick I had picked up at the edge of the forest.

He ran straight after the stick, picked it up, and ran over to me.

I enjoyed the light breeze that the wind blew towards me. She was very pleasant. I had left the house in a blue sweater and sport leggings. And wore my black sneakers.

I threw the stick at Bo a few more times until my oh so great inner voice spoke up to Daisy.

*cough irony *cough.

I know I'm great! Since even the irony pulls in the tail my dear!

But that's not why I'm signing up. It's because I wanted to let you know that you smart girl got lost. And that's because you were so fascinated by little Bo...

Oh shit! You're right! Not again...why do I always tend to get lost?

Of course I did.

Oh man....

damn...and now? I looked around in a bit of a panic. I actually hadn't paid attention to where we were walking. Such a crap!

Bo looked at me questioningly with his wonderful hazel eyes and wagged his little tail.

Oh Bo... what kind of situation did I get us into just by my clumsiness or rather my inattentiveness? I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair in desperation.

I had already walked quite a distance with him, there were quite a few forks and they all looked the same. Which is why I just stopped and thought about what I should do best.

Bo has meanwhile made himself comfortable on the floor and is waiting for any reaction from me.

You dumbass can't even use your cell phone because you left it on the dresser next to your bed to charge.

I could smack myself on the forehead for my behavior, but that wouldn't do us any good in the end.

And after a few more minutes, while I was still thinking, I heard a few voices.

I turned around and saw two girls. Before I could say anything, Bo started to run towards the two of them.

I followed him and also approached the two.

They were petting little Bo when I joined them.

"Hey...um...I got lost and I don't really know how my little friend and I are going to find our way back home. If it isn't too much trouble for you, could you please show me the way?" I pulled myself together and said these sentences because I was someone shy and under other circumstances I avoided speaking to strangers. But it was necessary because I didn't want to put little Bo out there all night with me.

The two look at me alternately and scrutinize me. I did the same and looked at them closely.

The difference was that after a moment I felt awkward. Since the two in front of me are pretty pretty and even a bit intimidating..

I thought I always looked normal. There are always people who are better looking than you.

My parents, Heather and a couple of my then-boyfriends often said I was really pretty, but still...it didn't really change anything because I was pretty shy.

The two in front of me look really nice, but since I don't know them and I don't know what makes them tick, I prefer to stay quiet and wait and see what they have to say.

"Hey you... well I haven't seen anyone get lost here.

It's really an achievement to pull it off. I've never seen you here before either, are you new here?" One girl breaks the silence first.

"Yes, I moved here to my aunt's today and was supposed to walk the dog." I pointed to Bo, who has meanwhile thrown himself onto his back and is having his stomach scratched by the other girl who is squatting next to him.

"Achsoo is that... well then..." came from the girl, who was still unknown to me.

"Where do you live?" it came from the girl who keeps scratching Bo's stomach but looks at me curiously.

"I live at 505 S Francis St I don't know if that means anything to you... if it helps, when I wanted to go to the woods with Bo it only took five minutes from there..."

"Bo?" Both asked at the same time and then looked at each other laughing.

They seem to be good friends. It would be nice if I could also find friends here who have the same thoughts as me.

I interrupted the two and explained to them who Bo is. Then they laugh again. I laugh with them this time.

And it's like the ice is broken between us. Because a few seconds later, one of the two introduced himself and the other.

"Well that's a really fun name for the little one. My name is Kimberly by the way but just call me Kim and the girl next to me that Bo scratches her tummy all the time is Jolene but you can call her Jo as it's everyone do it. In fact, I think I know where you live. Your aunt isn't Heather by any chance?"

"That's exactly what my aunt is. I'm Katharina, but you're welcome to call me Kate. Nice to meet you. How do you know my aunt?" I also introduce myself and ask where you might know my aunt from .

Now it was Jo who answered my question. But she still scratches Bo. Which makes me smile. "That's a nice name! It suits you. You're absolutely beautiful, by the way."

At the same time she winked at me.

"We are also pleased to meet you Kate. Your aunt is the author par excellence, everyone who knows anything about books knows her here. She is also really friendly and to make it short I live across from her." Jo laughs Come on.

"I also live across the street from her, by the way. And she's really great. Kate you look really pretty, apart from the fact that you're staring at you like a lost deer." Kim answered again.

Her words made me blush a little. I look down, embarrassed, and mumble a little "thank you" to myself.

"You look stunning."

The words came out of my mouth faster than I wanted and we started laughing again.

We talked and fortunately hit it off right away. Both also go to my new school and they also offered to accompany me to school on Monday.

We stood in the same place for over an hour when it slowly started to get dark.

We completely forgot the time. Also, we would have kept talking if Bo hadn't started growling.

Kate that wasn't Bo! The growl came from behind. And as if such a small dog could growl so monstrously!

I look behind me in shock, but can't see anything. One moment after the other, Bo actually started to growl. But it sounded much quieter than the first growl, which confirmed Daisy's statement and the first growl could not have been Bo's.

I look at Kim and Jo desperately.

Both look at each other briefly. I couldn't read their looks. Shortly thereafter, they turn to me.

"Kate do you have a leash for Bo? I think we should go now." Kim whispers to me.

I nod and pull the leash out of the front pocket of my sweater. I put Bo on the leash and Kim and Jo were about to run when we heard a creepy growl again.

It came from the right and behind us. Before I could react, Kim grabbed my wrist and looked me in the eye. She'd given me a what-are-you-waiting-for-Kate-come-let's-quickly-get-out-of-here look at me.

We finally hurried and, thank God, arrived unharmed.

I thanked them both and we made a time for Monday morning.

Now I lay in my bed. Snuggled up under my soft blanket and Bo is lying next to me.

I cleaned his paws in my bathroom and didn't mind when he lay down next to me. I was actually very happy to have him with me.

I reviewed the whole day or the afternoon until the evening and wallowed in my thoughts.

My arrival was wet. And I was annoyed by lightning and thunder.

It was my favorite meal.

A very embarrassing meal.

And a very weird trip to the woods.

Although I have new friends now.

But I still couldn't really realize what was going on towards the end...or even explain it to myself...

I kept wincing at each growl on the way back. There were so many... And I had never heard anything like it before.

Luckily Kim and Jo were with me. They kept trying to calm me down. Or they helped me when I almost stumbled... and I would.. unfortunately several times....

I stared at the ceiling for a while.

And came to the conclusion that I would go into the forest again tomorrow. Apart from this incident, it was very nice there....

With a little smile I fell asleep at some point.

Sunday

I do not get air.

And why? Because Bo is on top of me.

Omg Kate! Do something!

It's okay. Daisy, calm down. Of!

"Bo...hey Bo wake up..." I wanted to wake him up as gently as I could, because it breaks my heart to wake him up. It just looks so cute. Alone how he opens his eyes and wags his tail right away...omg....so need...

If he kept lying on you your heart would eventually get squishy... so don't call me cute or cute...

Daisy sometimes you're really obnoxious. I shook my head and approached my closet.

I decide on gray sweatpants and a black top, which I put aside. I go to the bathroom and freshen up first.

Although I had planned to go into the forest, I was still a little tired from yesterday. Which is why I spend most of the morning on my bed.

Bo is no longer in my room. He's probably with Mom or Heather...

_________

So here I am now. In the forest again. But this time I know the way. And I've also decided to memorize everything in the area here so that I don't get lost again and again.

I bet you'll get lost often. Or fall as clumsy as you are. Or twist your ankle while you're jogging. Or hey maybe the Creepy comes along and eats you up. That would also mean my end. But YOLOOO

Very encouraging Daisy. Thanks. Annoyed by my own inner voice, which as so often is so kind to me - NOT, I can't help it and roll my eyes.

I jogged for a while. So far it's going pretty well. I'm really proud of myself that nothing has happened to me so far. It's almost a miracle. Especially since Daisy didn't name a few of them for nothing. In fact, I'm really that clumsy and fell down while jogging because I tripped over something. Or I once sprained my ankle in physical education class, although I only ran a little faster.

Well, as the saying goes, what's not, can still be~

Daisy just be quiet! Before any of this actually happens!!!

And before I knew it, one of the things that Daisy loved so much happened.

A strange feeling spreads through me and it feels like I'm being watched.

I try not to let it show. But after 5 minutes it didn't get better, it got worse and I felt like I was being followed.

A few branches snapped behind me. But I didn't want to turn around...I was too scared for that.

It lasted a moment and then I got on my feet and ran as fast as I could. I was only a short distance away and then I had made it out of the forest.

I can't believe I made it!

Omg I got it somehow. I'm out of there.

YAY I'm out of breath now and almost panting, but it could have been worse.

I am so exhausted that I support myself with my hands on my knees.

"Hey Kate, what are you doing?" a female questioning voice sounds.

I know that voice!

I raise my head and see Kim and Jo.

"H-heee ." I knew I sounded like I was about to die. I was still pretty out of breath. I felt the heat in my body. My hair, which I had previously tied in a tight ponytail, was now very loose and some strands were already sticking to my face. I probably look like something else, but I'm just glad I made it out of the woods unscathed.

The two look at me worried. Then they look at each other and exchange mysterious looks again.

When I felt like I was under control again after what felt like 10 years, I tried to improve the situation a bit.

Since the two had been silent for some time and there was a strange stillness in the air.

"But v-maybe I was just imagining it. I mean, there's a good chance I'm just being paranoid..." I joked, laughing here and there to lighten the situation.

"Well, as long as nothing happened to you..." Jo started and stopped when she took her mobile phone out of her trouser pocket. Her gaze suddenly becomes strange.

She looks over at Kim. Back to me. to her again.

"Um Kate? Kim and I have to go somewhere... But it was nice to see you again. And I'm glad nothing happened to you..." she looks at me apologetically.

"Okayyy. Yes, I was happy too. See you tomorrow. I would love to hug you, but unfortunately I'm wet from the whole race hahahah... just feel pressed by me haha." I explained to the two and we laughed briefly until we parted ways.

I just want to take a shower right now...it's all I can think about...

I spent the rest of the evening preparing for tomorrow. As I snuggled into my bed, I noticed Bo making himself comfortable next to me. I stroked him, wished him good night and then fell into a peaceful sleep by my standards.

_________

Pov Kim

"Jo, isn't that Kate? Up front? Who looks like she just ran a marathon?" I ask my best friend.

"Oh jeeeh you're right..." it comes from her.

I could tell she was worried.

"Let's not paint the devil on the wall... maybe things aren't so bad and she's just unsportsmanlike," I try to calm her down. Yes...no...that backfired.

I got a dirty look from her. If I had to interpret it, it would say something like Are you-fucking-serious?!!!

I just shrug.

We approach Kate, who is still leaning on her knees with her hands.

"Hey Kate what are you doing?" Jo wants to know worried. She sounds neutral to others, but I know she's concerned.

We only met Kate yesterday but there's something about her...

I can't blame Jo for caring about Kate. If I take a closer look at her, she looks really done. Hope nothing bad happened to her.

Now you're worried too.

Oh...damn...what the heck...then that's the way it is.

_______

And it came as it had to come.

Kate is pretty out of breath. She ran for her life earlier. The poor. I really feel sorry for her. She just came here yesterday and then this!

Her feeling was right because someone had probably been following her.

She just doesn't know.

As well as. She's just a normal girl.

Jo and I looked at each other. Not only is she worried, so am I.

You can't just go after a defenseless girl! She's really pretty and she radiates something indefinable, but she doesn't deserve that...

These stupid idiots just can't control themselves! That pisses me off! Those wretched perverts! God I'm already at 180!!!

Jo probably notices how my pulse quickens, because her look looks slightly panicked.

Damned! I need to pull myself together... but how?!!!

Just think how you will ruffle whoever dared to molest an innocent girl...

Okayyy... it works again...

Now Jo looks at me with an omg-thank-god-you-have-calmed look.

I just sighed and turned my gaze to Kate. She's calmed down a bit now. Her cheeks are still slightly red. And her braid is already very loose, some of her long brown strands falling in her face. She still looks pretty battered.

_____

Omg.. I can't believe it.

This girl is just without words... I can't figure it out.

Now she's trying to make us believe she was just being paranoid.

But why is she doing this? Why is she trying to downplay the matter? She has no idea that someone has actually followed her, but...

"Well, as long as nothing happened to you..." Jo started and stopped when she took her mobile phone out of her trouser pocket. Your gaze becomes strange.

She looks over at me. Back to Kate. to me again

Well, who can that be now?

I can't interpret that look.

Unless it's... Hmmm

Oh no... not like that...

"Um Kate? Unfortunately, Kim and I still have to go somewhere... But it was nice to see you again. And I'm glad nothing happened to you..." She looks at Kate apologetically.

She was probably sorry Kate had to go through that. Jo probably wanted to tell her that she was sorry about all this and that she could contact us at any time if anything happened... I thought so too, but it's not a good idea.

We can't reveal to her directly that we know what kind of idiots there were in the forest and that we also belong to it...

I better say something...

"Okayyy. Yes, I was happy too. See you tomorrow. I'd love to hug you, but unfortunately I'm wet from the whole race hahahah just feel pressed by me." She says goodbye, embarrassed, and laughs.

Oh... hmm well that's how it works.

She's just so sweet, so warm and innocent. That's when I realized... she really just talked it down earlier to calm Jo and me down. She didn't want us to worry. Omg! This girl is sugar!!!

We all laughed for a moment before we parted ways.

We stand there for a moment and wait while she continues to walk the road until she turns off at some point.

"Yeah, what's going on? Where do we have to go? Please don't tell me..." I started.

I didn't want to say what I was thinking. Luckily I didn't have to, because Jo shook her head.

"Don't worry it wasn't him..." She stopped and sighed. "Not him....but Kyle...you're not thrilled with what's been going on around here lately...and want us to take care of it." she finished her sentence. And points her head in the direction of the forest.

"That's perfect Jo. You have no idea how much I want to kick their ass! We're all excited about what's to come... but I just don't get how some people lose control like that... I mean Hallooo how horny you must be that they're stalking Kate in broad daylight! Or yesterday!!! We were there and if we hadn't been there they would have done something else to her Grrrr!!!"

I was in my element now and noticed my eyes light up.

"I believe you immediately Kim.

I mean they not only attacked the innocent Kate, but also Bo!! An innocent dog!!! Is it still okay?! I feel the same way, they should just pay for the fact that they behaved so disrespectfully!!! Above all, it would have been noticed immediately if they had killed Kate... After all, she is Heather's niece. The niece of such a great author...", Jo describes and at the end looks stunned in the direction of the Kate had gone.

I have to smile. She's also angry about Bo. Dogs are extremely sensitive to us werewolves, but we consider them family because they are so devoted and loyal. That's probably why Jo is so upset. And because he's just cute.

I noticed how her eyes sparkled now, too. Nothing could stop us now. "Well then, nothing stands in our way! Let's stir up some naughty pack members who don't know their place!!!

_______

Said and done. After we transformed, everything happened very quickly. We were able to locate them and rebuked them with a little force.

In hindsight, they were even sorry. In the end Jo even felt sorry for them. However, I don't. They should know their place! The culprits were new and young pack members. They didn't control themselves very well, so they withdrew here.

They found Kate absolutely gorgeous and couldn't control their lust, so they growled incessantly.

But the idiots didn't mean anything bad for her. They said....

But I knew better.

These lechers would have pounced on her and torn her to shreds. She was fresh meat in a wolf's eyes.

Still, they had to follow the rules. And rule number ONE is NOT to harm people!!!
