Wolf Ways

Chapter One

The soft grass locked the pads of my damp paws, the curling blades of grass nearly touching my moonlit tail. As I slowly came to a stop, I heard a distant howl, my developed wolf ears picking up the words with ease.

"When the night has early come,
The one will follow,
When the wolf comes to escape it's shadow,
The one will follow,
When the Five have come together,
The one will follow."

"Liz, get up. Time for your first day at a new school!" Damn. "Mum, do I have to? I mean, everyone else is probably too ahead in subjects and I'll be behind." "You have to. I'm not giving you a choice. But at least they won't be ahead of you when you have to kick their butt!" Why are mum's so persistent? "Fine, you win me over this time." "Ok then Liz, its 'bout 7:03 now, we got to go at 8:00, ok?" "Right mum." As mum walked out, I crawled out of bed, over to where we bought the stiff uniform just yesterday.

Just as I came out of my green bedroom, mum suddenly came in, looking as stunning as ever. "Wow, mum." "Liz, when you're older, you'll understand." "Mum. Not a little kid anymore." She gave me a cheeky smirk.

As we were pulling up to the school, mum gave me a hug goodbye, and sent me on my way. Straight into hell. After, (as I had studied the entire map of the school) I went straight to the office. "Umm. Hi, I'm new, do I just go, or..." The woman at the desk was listening intently. Just waiting for me to show any signs of weakness. "Yes, your name?" "Liz Sigil" Ok... Is that your full name?" Dang. "Oh, sorry, it's Elizabeth Sigil" "Ok! You are in...class 7S. It's in the Library, do you need me to show you where it is?" "No I got it." Walk. Don't run.

Walking in, I could feel the strange, hostile atmosphere grow, somewhat. Closing the creaky door, I felt someone slam into it. "Urgh." I turned around to find a boy with shaggy light brown hair sitting on the floor, his books and pencil case splattered over the white marble floor. "I'm sorry, I didn't think anyone was behind me and..." I stuttered. "Are you new?" He quickly responded. "Um... yeah" "Well, that explains it. I'm Sam." "Right. I'm Liz." I helped him pick up his things than I quickly tried to find a seat, whilst Sam quickly sat down somewhere in the middle of the class. Great. Leave the new person alone and scared. When I almost found a seat, a short-ish woman wearing a tight dress walked in and asked me something. "Excuse me? Are you in 7S?" "Yeah, I mean, I think. I'm new" "Right. Come here and I'll introduce you to the class." "Settle down everyone!" the teacher yelled "We have a new student today," I stood up and "Umm, hi, I'm Liz, and I guess I'll be in your class from now on." Everyone seemed to eye me off, all groups except one large group turned their heads. As I slowly walked away from the front, I saw the one face I had remembered. Sam.

Luckily, everyone greeted me with smiles, all except one. Sam. Urgh, always that one person. A girl with black curly hair greeted me, "Hi! I'm Tia, this is..." After listening to just about everyone introduce themselves, I casually went about my work.
