Chantel's nightmares were only worsening with time, she had a pounding headache when she woke up. She'd been reading Twilight the night before and she ended up; being chased by a werewolf in her dreams. She should probably stop reading and watching anything relating to werewolves, vampires or any other supernatural beings.

The front page of the newspaper caught her attention. Dead girl body found. Lisa Willoughby was a student from Penrose High School in Pennsylvania, but her upper body was found in the woods of Hemlock Grove. The lower part of her body was still missing.

Chantel's social was flooded with theories about the new dead girl, so many pointing their fingers at a werewolf or a animal that resembled a wolf. Then she found out Christina Wendall was the poor soul who'd discovered the body. She can't even imagine, what the girl would be going through.

"Alexa play amnesia by 5 seconds of summer." She said.

"Playing amnesia by 5 seconds of summer." The virtual assistant said as Chantel hit the hot shower, she really needed to get amnesia and forget about her reoccurring nightmares.

Chantel styled her hair into tiny braids and secured them with cute colourful butterfly clips. She grabbed her car key and headed towards the garage. The Volvo XC40 in crystal white, used to be her mother's before she brought the BMW X1 and passed her SUV to her daughter. Chantel wasn't a fan of driving big cars but Hemlock Grove was a sleepy town, so there was hardly any traffic to be worried about. She played 'dandelions' by Ruth B as she drove to school.

As soon as she got out of the car, all she could hear was the talk about the discovery of Lisa Willoughby's body. Many pointing their fingers at a werewolf aka. Peter Rumancek. This theory was going way out of hand, poor Peter.

Chantel's eyes caught a crowd of students piled up at the hallway, looking down at something or someone. Then she realised it wasn't something, it was someone—Shelley Godfrey. She was on the floor, her back pressed to the lockers, she'd covered her ears with both of her hands, tears falling from her eyes. Two assholes were bullying her, while the others watched laughing.

The one thing that Chantel can't stand were bullies, and high school was a breeding ground for bullies. She advanced towards them fumingly. "What are you guys doing?" She snapped.

"Look who's here," the blonde guy named Harry grinned. Chantel wanted to wipe that grin off his face with her boots.

"We don't know what's wrong," the brunette guy named Josh said easily. "She just started crying and shit..."

Chantel squatted down. "Shh, shh, it's okay." She comforted Shelley, who was trembling.

"Yeah. Yeah." Harry said mockingly, "big girls don't cry and you're a very, very big girl."

The others began to laugh.

"Shut up!" Chantel hissed.

"We're just trying to figure out what's up, you know?" Josh crossed his arms. "Why you mad butterfly?" He winked at Chantel.

"I'm seriously gonna_" before Chantel could say another word.

Roman appeared, "what happened?" His face filled with concern.

Chantel looked up at him, "these jerks are bulling Shell."
