New to Town - Prologue
#1 of New to Town
I finally finished updating this old story, and am happy to post all current chapters. This story is not finished and is still going on, I just wanted to update this before posting new stories, and adding to this one.
I hope you all enjoy this one, it was an old one that fell through the cracks and just never got worked on. But now that I am back into writing it's joining the rest of the team!
Chase gave a little sigh as he pressed his face against the passenger side window, wrinkling his nose as the unfamiliar neighborhood blurred by. "This bites...I'm not going to know anyone here..." He said with a touch of sadness in his voice. This was wolf's third move, the last one had occurred on his 15th birthday and sure enough this one had happened a few weeks after his 16th. His father promising that this was the last move, the company had given him a permanent management position.
The old wolf driving; John, looked over at his son and patted his leg firmly. "C'mon bud, I'm sure you'll meet some friends in no time." His father smiled, Chase smiled back, but frowned looking out the window again.
"If you say so..." His ears perked up as the car passed by a group his age, some a little older maybe, he dismissed the thought with a shake of his head and slumped against the door. His father pulled into the driveway of the new home, just as the moving van had left, boxes resting inside ready to be dug into. Chase grabbed the small suitcases that the truck didn't take, and began walking inside with his dad.
Instantly Chase asked "Where's my room?" as he looked around, finding only the room where his father's things were stored. John grinned and opened what Chase had mistaken for a closet, only to reveal stairs leading up, instead of shelves.
"Go on up." He father encouraged him with a smirk.
Chase made his way with his bags, and found himself in the attic, but instead of a damn and cold room, the floors were carpeted, and the whole room was comfortably warm, all his belongings were on the floor and bed in boxes. "Wow! Cool!" He said in awe, taking in the scene.
His father chuckled. "It's soundproof too."
Chase grinned and tackled into his dad with a hug, nearly knocking the man back. "This is so cool! Thank you, thank you!"
The older wolf smiled, coughing some. "You're welcome. Now then, I'll leave you to your devices. I have a meeting to attend, and I told them if I arrived on time I would be there. I got to get ready."
"Work stuff already? But we just got here...And I'm not too big on staying in a strange new place by myself..." He said with a pout.
John patted his son on the shoulder. "C'mon, you're sixteen. Prove to me you're responsible to man the fort, and I'll take you to see that horror movie you've been talking about. There is a theatre nearby playing it this weekend.
"Nightmare on Elm Street?" Chase asked with a tilt of his head.
"That was it."
Chase smirked and puffed up his chest. "You can count on me, father of mine! Let someone mess with me. I'll show em!"
His father watched with amusement and chuckled. "Awesome. But don't stay up too late. You DO have school tomorrow. If I didn't register you right away, we'd have to wait a whole month. The bus stops right in front of the house at 7:00 A.M on the dot."
Chase groaned at the thought of school. "Ookay. Try and have fun with your business friends." To which the wolf replied that it was unlikely and left after a hug. Once gone, Chase occupied his time with a video game after setting the system up.
Getting lost in the game he checked the time and swore, it was midnight, he had to get to bed. He placed the controller away and shut the systems off. With a yawn he stripped his clothing away and crawled under the blanket, nuzzling the pillow and falling asleep.
