The three woke up the next morning. It was 6:30, they got up early to get to school before anyone else to talk to miss Martin about changing their timetables to keep Harlow safe. Lydia already gave her mom a heads up about this.

"Come on, eat breakfast on the way." Liam picked up the girl and Theo grabbed her breakfast. They got in the car and set off for the school. No one got here this early. Ever. So it was quite quiet.

"Come on then. We gotta go talk to someone." Theo said to the girl while getting her out of the car.
"Why?" She asked tiredly.
"We gotta change something with school to keep you and everyone else safe. Wanna walk?" She nodded her head. Theo put her down and held her hand to keep her close.

Liam opened the doors and they walked directly to the principals office. Liam knocked on the door and miss Martin answered inviting them in.
"I've heard a little about what's going on but not enough to understand how to help you guys."

"We need to change our timetables at least until this is all over. But maybe until the end of the year." Miss Martin looked at the confused.
"And why is this?" She had noticed the little girl but knew that would be explained at some point.

"Tara is after us and Harlow here. We can't leave her without someone to protect her. And everyone supernatural is busy. So we need to have an alternating timetable."
"thaat can be aranged but it also means more work out of school to keep cuaght up. i can do alternating days or half a day each. which ever is easieer." the boys looked at eachother and nodded.

"alternating days. two week roter. me on monday wednes day friday on week one then tuesday and thursday on week two. then theo on.the days im not" miss martin nodded.
"ill get you them first period today liam." liam nodded.
"thank you." they got up and left the office. people would be arriving soon and they didnt feel like confronting them today.

they sat in the truck. liam waiting for the others to show up then theo would go somewhere with harlow. Time went passed quickly. People started arriving. Some with friends some alone. The pack turned up in groups. Mason Corey and Alec then Nolan and Gabe.

The three were in their own conversation in the truck. None paying any attention to anything else. Then there was a knock on the door. They jumped.
"Shitting hell" Theo said. Liam hit him for swearing in-front of Harlow. Out side mason was laughing at them.

Liam rolled down the window.
"Did I actually scare you guys? Even Theo?"
"Yes now shut up about it." Theo grumbled.
"HA never." Mason laughed more. The others made their way over to see what the commotion was about.

"What happened?" Gabe asked first.
"I scared them."
"Even Theo?" Nolan questioned skepticly.
"Yes but I'm my defence-" Theo started before someone cut him off.
"No defence. You were more scared than me." Liam said and everyone laughed. Theo wouldn't admit it but it was funny.

"Anyway, the bell's about to go we haven't got enough time for a whole conversation." Liam got out of the car. Walking round to the other side. Theo had put harlows window down.
"I'll see you later." He said with a smile
"Bye I see you later." Harlow replied with an even bigger smile.

"Bye, I don't need to tell you to keep her safe."
"No you don't." Liam gave Theo the best hug he could considering one was in the car the other was not. Liam waved at Harlow one last time before setting off with the pack.

"Where do you want to go? We got until liam get out of school." Harlow thought for a minute before replying.
"Can we go to the woods? It's nice and quiet there." Theo smiled at the girls answer. He thought it was nice how a four year old thought that. It was different.
"Sure." They set off for the woods. It was a nice sunny day. Warm aswell. Perfect for a walk in the woods.
