Warm Blooded (Still in writing/editing process)

Slowly the excruciating pain spread through my body. Starting in my head, then moving down through to my toes. I felt as if he was being ripped at from every direction possible and that there was a fire burning in my heart. Slowly as the fire spread the pain eased. I now knew that I was no longer human.

A couple of years earlier...

As I woke up from the nightmare that never left me I couldn’t get the picture of the wolf telling me to come, out of my head. Every night as soon as I got to sleep the same nightmare always came: Me running and running from nothing and a wolf telling me to come. I have no idea why this happens but I am not game enough to tell anyone because they will think i’m crazy and make me see a shrink (shrinks are the reason I am writing this now) . Everyone already thinks i’m crazy because of where I live let alone the fact that I dream of a wolf every night. 

So anyway a little bit about me. Basically, I have had the worst childhood ever. I was abandoned by my parents at birth and I have no memory of them. I was found by Sam and Ben (my step parents) in the middle of a forest alone in a shopping bag probably left there to die!!! They took me back to their house where they were living at the time. About 5 years later we moved to our house on Elm street. To everyone at my school this is known as the haunted street!! I haven’t told anyone where I live for this reason and never have any friends over at my house. School is my savior, it is the place I can go where I feel normal. 

Chapter 2

The bell rang as everyone jumped out of their seats and headed towards the lockers. The end of the day was always like this, everyone keen to get out of this place. Today especially was a rush as most of the popular guys - including me - had football training. This was the only other good thing about my life. Being on the football team, being tanned and having pretty good muscles made me pretty popular at school (if only they knew my life outside of school.) 

On my way home from football training, I felt as if I was being followed. Every time I looked behind me there was nothing there. I walked inside still with the feeling of being followed and as I looked behind me for one last time I caught a glance of a girl with wavy blonde hair and jet blue eyes running away in the distance.

That morning as I woke up, there were no nightmares - all I remember dreaming about was the girl with piercing blue eyes. Once I was ready I met up with James and we walked to school together. As we were sitting in our english class Principal Tonkins walked in with a new student. As soon as I saw her eyes, I recognised her from the previous night. She was the blonde girl with Jett blue eyes. 

“Everyone I would like you to meet Skye,” said Principal Tonkin.

Principal Tonkin showed Skye to a seat near me and I couldn’t help but stare. She was beautiful and a mystery, my kind of girl!!

That morning went very slow and by the time break finally came I was outta my mind with curiosity about this strange girl. Two questions were whirling around my head: Should I talk to her? Should I not? A strange urge in me drove me towards her table. Even though I did not want to, I could not stop my legs from walking towards her table. Next thing I new I was standing directly across from her.

“Hi,” She said in a kind of husky voice.

“Hey,” I said watching her stare down and not look up at me.

Awkward silence passed over us as we just started at each other. Finally she broke it and said, “Ok what do you want?” “I know somethings bugging you.”

At that moment I felt as if my body was taken over and I was not me. I felt as if someone else was talking for me.

“were you following me yesterday?” I asked.

Skye stared down at her food again not making eye contact and looking embarrassed.

“Yes?” I asked.

Instead of answering me Skye got up out of her seat and stormed off. Knowing I had gone too far the day I stormed off the other way.
