《Soulmates/ Jolby》Chapter seven
Advertisement
Colby wakes up on the couch with Jake leaning on him. The TV is still playing, and the others are still downstairs. While laying his head down on the armrest, Colby hears a knock on the front door.
'Who could be knocking on our door at fucking 7:30 A.M.?" He grumbles in his mind.
Whoever knocked on the door, knocked on it again but this time it was harder and there were a lot more. Colby stands up to go get the door, and notices the roommates are waking up.
The knocks on the door continue, "I'm coming! Calm down!"
Colby opens the door and doesn't see anyone. He's about to close it when something pulls on his sweatpants. Colby looks down and sees a little girl, about 5 years old.
"Can I help you, sweetheart? And how did you get through the gate?" He asks. Suspicion is clear on his face.
"I need your help. I'm lost, sir. Oh, I climbed it." She replies with a sweet smile.
"Okay, love. Come on in and we'll try to find your Mommy and Daddy."
Colby leads the little girl into the living room where all the roommates, and Kat, are now sitting up and talking. Once Colby walks in with the little girl, everyone gives him a questionable look.
"Who's the Hobbit, Bro?" Corey asks with a laugh.
"This is- " Colby looks down at the little girl.
"Sarah." She replies.
"This is Sarah, and she's lost. I thought we could help her."
Everyone starts to ask Sarah who her parents are and where they are.
"Well, my parents are dead. I need you to help me find my Alpha." She grins at the nice people in front of her.
"Alpha. . .?" Sam asks, confused.
"Yeah. I was separated from my pack. If I'm away from my pack or my Alpha or my pack for too long, I'll get sick and go to sleep for forever. Well, that's just what Alpha told me." Sarah replies, hopping a bit on her feet.
"Is this true, Colbs?" Jake asks suddenly.
Colby, still being in shock that this little girl is a werewolf, says "uh. . . Yeah."
Coming out of his shock, Colby gets down to Sarah's height. "Sarah, I'm Alpha Brock , but you can call me Colby. And these people are my pack." Colby goes from left to right, "Aaron, Devyn, Corey, Sam, Kat, and my mate Jake."

Sarah looks at all of them, and smiles.
"Nice to meet you Brock Pack."
All of the roommates smile at her, but soon start to ask how they could possibly help to get her Alpha back.
"I-I don't know. That's why I need help."
"How about we discuss it after some breakfast? I bet you're starving, sweetie." Kat says while holding out her hand for Sarah to take.
"I'm very hungry." Sarah's stomach growls in response. Everyone starts to chuckle at her.
Everyone piles into the kitchen and sits down. Aaron starts to make everyone breakfast while the others get to know Sarah a bit more. Many questions come at once.
"Where are you from?"
"What's your Alphas name?"
"What's your favorite thing to do?"
"Have you seen Gary?"
"How old are you?"
Sarah didn't even looked shocked at the amount of questions, she just leaned back in her chair and answered all of them.
"I'm from California, of course. My Alphas name is John. My favorite thing to do? Hmm, running in my wolf form. I don't know who Gary is, but I'm sure you'll find him soon. I'm 5 and half, it's very important that you include the half." When she's done, Sarah smiles slightly at all the roommates.
"Nice, kid." Colby says with a smirk.
Sam looks like he wants to ask something else but holds back from it, until Sarah notices and tell him to ask his question.
"I was just wondering, how long do we have to find your Alpha?"
"I have four days, so four days I guess."
"Holy shit." Sam says shocked.
"Okay Guys, food is ready." Aaron says, interrupting.
After everyone ate, they all noticed that Sarah was starting to get tired by the way that she kept dozing off while sitting down. Sam suggests that Sarah can go sleep in his and Kat's room.
They all look over to Sarah and see that she has fell asleep, with her head on the table.
"I got her." Corey says while laughing a bit.
Corey takes Sarah up to Sam's room and leaves after turning the light off.
"She's out like a light." Corey says when he gets back to the living room.

"Guys, what are we going to do?" Jake asks from his spot next to Colby.
"The best thing for us to do is be there for the little pup." Colby says.
The group talk some more over what they could do for Sarah, but they can't figure out a solid plan.
While talking about an idea Devyn had, the group hear Sarah scream from Sam's room. Everyone gets up and runs to Sam's room. When they get there they notice that Sarah is hyperventilating and holding her chest.
"Sarah! Are you okay, Pup?" Colby asks frantically while getting up next to her.
"I felt it! I felt the pack bond leave me!" She cries while looking up at Colby.
Colby looks at Sarah with a look of sympathy, and pulls her to him for a hug.
While the two werewolves are hugging, the others are confused.
"I'm sorry to interrupt, but what is the pack bond and why is she so sad that it is gone?" Aaron finally asks.
Colby sighs before answering. "The pack bond is a bond formed between your pack, it's so strong that you can literally feel it inside you. Sarah has lost her pack bond, and the only way you can lose a pack bond is if you lose your Alpha. So, Sarah here has lost her Alpha."
The group, finally understanding, move over to give Sarah a group hug.
"So, now that your Alpha is gone what are you going to do?" Sam asks Sarah.
While sniffing the little girl says, "I don't know. Probably become a lone wolf."
"Now, Pup, we can't have that." Colby says with a smile.
"How about you become one of us?" He adds.
Sarah smiles at Colby, "I would love that, Alpha."
"Does everyone agree?" Colby asks the group in front of him.
While everyone said yes, they all felt a powerful pull in their stomachs.
"Welcome to the pack, Sarah." Colby says with a smile.
The laughter coming from the living room was loud, and you could tell everyone was having fun. The roommates were all laying around watching SpongeBob, and just spending time getting to know Sarah.
Out of nowhere, Colby sits straight up and starts to sniff the air.
"Do you smell that, Pup?" He asks Sarah.
"Yeah. . .it smells like dead bodies." She replies.
"Vampires. . ." Colby says more to himself than to anyone else.
"What are they doing around here?" He asks.
"Hunting?" Sam asks.
"Maybe. . ."
Colby stands up and starts to walk around the house. He gets to the last room on the top floor, and is about to go back downstairs when he hears glass shatter; he starts to run downstairs with his werewolf speed. When he gets there everyone is on the floor.
"Is everyone okay?" He asks everyone in the room.
"Yeah, but I think they took a few people." Aaron says.
Colby starts to look around the room, and when he realizes who was took, he stops breathing.
"They took Sam, Sarah, and J-Jake." He barely gets out,
If Colby wasn't the alpha and didn't have to keep calm, he would have dropped to the floor. The vampires not only took a pup from his pack, but they took his mate AND his best friend.
"We have to find them." Colby growls.
Sarah couldn't hold her cries in anymore. She's alone, and she misses her Alpha. Sarah starts to cry, but stops when she feels a hand on her arm. Startled, she looks up only to find the worried face of Sam.
"Sam!" She says while hugging him.
Sam chuckles at her reaction to seeing her.
"Hey! Don't forget me!"
Sarah looks next to Sam to find Jake.
"Jake!" She smiles at him, and gives him a hug.
After hugging Jake, Sarah moves in between both of her pack mates to find some comfort.
"I'm scared. I wish A- I mean, Colby was here." Sarah says to both boys, while being in the middle of their arms.
"Us, too, Pup. Us, too." Sam says while rubbing circles on her arm, and Jake doing the same on her other.

Kellan Klein is an ordinary college student with an average, if traumatic and painful past. Everyone grows up grappling with depression and anxiety that seem to be genetic in a house with parents that, while loving, fight all the time and have weird ideas about what kids should and shouldn't do, right? Everyone deals with bullying, racism, judgement on their romantic inclinations and their family's economic status and just general shittiness, right? All of Kellan's friends sure did, and for all of them, entertaiment media were a welcome escape from their painful, dreary lives. After all, who wouldn't want to sail the seas with Monkey D. Luffy and the Strawhats, or help Meng Hao con increasingly powerful and influential people, or join Cecil Harvey and his friends on their weird journey to save the world, or make friends with Peter Parker while pretending to not know he was everyone's favorite wall-crawling superhero? Kellan certainly wanted to, and while he pursued college to seek out a career he saw himself enjoying, something felt inexplicably empty about his life. So when a decidely sinister force kidnaps him and the prettiest man he's ever seen saves his life and offers him his wildest dreams, Kellan becomes the shopkeeper of a mysterious, dimension hopping shop, complete with a system that helps him acquire items. abilities, materials, and other cool shit to stock it with, as well as some other neat perks. Will Kellan become a boring overpowered MC, like the kind from web fiction that he reads to sate his boredom? Will he keep his generally kind, sweet nature despite the shit he's gone through and will go through, or will he inexplicably become a scary, violent, irrational arrogant douchebag? Will he use his newfound abilities to explore the multiverse and improve the lives of himself and others, or will he become his own antithesis, a purely mercantile jerk obsessed with money and profit, with no concern for anything that doesn't help or hurt his business? Find out in The Curio Shoppe! Author's note: Please suggest possible setting he could visit in the comments. I'll gather ones i'm familiar with, and at the end of every arc, a poll will be held to decide the next location he visits. There will be polls for other purposes, and I might not always go with the poll winner if I feel one of the other options is more fun to read/write about. I will not use the settings of other RRL writers without their permission.Do not ask for that, unless the author in question gives permission. Most settings he visits will be slightly AU in some way or another, but please remind me if I drift too far from canon unintentionally or characterize a character wrongly. This work will eventually fit all tags I selected once he visits universes suited to those tags, so don't ask when or where a given tag is coming. I do not own the cover art, it belongs to Nicholas Belanger Thiel, and I will stop using it if he asks me to. Kellan doesn't look like the old man on the cover, though once he acquires a disguise-type ability he may occasionally use that appearance. The tapir, however, will be a thing, as despite looking like a failed attempt at an elephant, tapirs are cool and this dragon finds them to be kinda cute. The art, along with more of Nicholas's pieces, can be found at https://www.artstation.com/artwork/51bXz
