A Delinquent School? Seriously Dudes? But I'm a wolf...

Chapter 3- Who the hell?

Chapter 3- Who the hell?

“Dude that hurt!” I glared at the back of Dereks head as he sat innocently in his seat. I picked up the paper airplane, throwing it at his head with more force than he had used, but nowhere near my full strength.

“HEY!” His eyebrows furrowed up as he turned to me. We were in Home Economics. What the hell are a bunch of teenage delinquents going to do with Home Economics skills?! Apparently the teacher had had the same thought as she’d left like a minute after the lesson began and still hadn’t returned.

In this lesson I was with Derek and Anna, who were sat in the seats in front of me, and kept gazing a little too lovey dovey into each other’s eyes.

“Dunno what you’re on bout Derek” I mumbled, looking around the room innocently.

“Yeah, she didnt do anything babe. It’s just you” Anna smirked at him, casting me a quick wink.

The bell rang, signalling the end of the day, and I sprung out of my chair. “Woah there girl!” Anna laughed, pushing her long chestnut hair behind her shoulder. “Where ya heading?” I sighed. “back to my room” “Guess I’ll see ya again tomorrow then” She smiled at me, before grabbing her bag and dragging Derek out the room as he laughed a “See ya” over his shoulder.

I rolled my eyes. Young love.

I got back to my room without running into anybody..unwelcome.. No one here in ward C seemed to be as ‘troubled’ as I had first assumed. No rapists at least. No murders. I shuddered. Well other than me that is.

I shook of the thought as I slid the key card into the door, unlocking it, and walking into my room.

Whatta day that was!

I took of my shoes and lay down in bed, not bothering to change. That was an exhausting day! But even so, I was glad I still had my freedom so it’s worth it. I slowly drifted off to sleep.

I felt my eyes spring open at the noises outside. It was still early, considering I fell asleep at no later than 5. The sky was a deep blue and the clouds filling the sky made it obvious that it was soon to rain. I inhaled deeply. Breathing in the wonderful scent of the forest beyond my window.

I climbed out of bed, knowing the night was too beautiful to waste in sleep. I flung myself up onto the window, shifting instantly, as my back paws propelled me off the window ledge, landing agilely a few meters away from the building.

I scraped the dirt with my strong paws, grinding in my razor sharp claws. My death black fur blew in the wind and tickled my nose. This was my stronger, more beautiful form. I was a magnificent creature, with death black fur, and blue tips on the ends of my ears, marking me out from the rest of the wolves I’ve encountered. But although I was now stronger, more beautiful and no doubt more powerful, this was also my more dangerous form. Not only for myself, but everyone around me.

Since that..I shuddered, remembering that night. Since then, my wolf has never taken control of me. I know how to calm her now. Yet still, I can’t help remembering what she did. What I did.

I shook my head, clearing the unwanted thoughts from my head, as I ran on into the forest. The smell of rain filled my nostrils as a rogue drop fell onto my nose.

Soon the rain was splattering down on the ground around me, leaving my fur soaking and splashing in my face.

The rain was a relief. I could feel my muscles tighten, and relax, as I sprinted through the forest, faster than the average car would dare to move. I let out a blood curdling howl as I ran into the night. My wolf smirked, as I ran freely, flipping over low branches and pummelling over logs.

What the fuckk? I spun around to the noise of snapping twigs behind me, but no one was there. Gah! Now I’m getting paranoid. Not that ya can blame me but still!

Wha? I spun around again. Okay this is getting kinda weird now.

I glanced around me, my senses on high alert. Why would someone be out here at night? I was miles away from the ‘school’ so it couldn’t be a student, so why would someone be out here?

I strained my eyes, looking far into the distance. My eyes landed on a black splodge in the distance. I moved closer, allowing my eyes to zone in on it.

I leapt back in shock, as I realised what it was. A wolf.

As I was staring at it, I felt as if I couldn’t run away. It was bigger than me. Much bigger. It would easily take me out in a fight. I wouldn’t even be slight competition for it.

Yet I couldn’t run.

Something about the wolf was pulling me in towards it. I took a step forwards before restraining myself. What the fuckk am I doing?! I can’t go up to a random wolf in the middle of the night?! What am I gonna say. ‘Um hey dude. I dunno if you can understand me or not but please don’t eat me’ Hah. Yeah that would be a great thing to do. Note the sarcasm?

Yet I couldn’t begin to pull myself away.

The wolf was beautiful. With death black fur that appeared to sparkle in the rain, with unusual blue streaks falling through its fur.

I pulled my eyes away from the wolf before glancing up at its face.

I leapt back a few meters as I saw the wolf’s eyes. They were an amazing blue-black with flakes of silver. The wolf caught my gaze, but before I could respond to the action, it disappeared. Sprinting off into the darkness.

I shook my head, allowing the rain to splash into my eyes. What the fuckk was that about?

And how the hell did I not know there was another wolf around here?

Man I need to pay attention more if I don’t want get myself killed! I should go. Yeah. Now. Before I get into any more trouble. For all I know that wolf could be running along to its little wolf buddies, ganging them up to come eat me.

Sure wolves don’t actually eat each other, but who knows what they’d want to do instead.

The thoughts stirred in my head as I spun round, sprinting at full pelt, wanting to get back to the safety of my room. Away from here, where I was open to attacks from anyone.

Yet as I retreated, I couldn’t help feeling a little sad. Stupid I know. Why be sad that I didnt get killed by a no doubt blood thirsty killer. No. It’s stupid.

I increased my speed as the window came into view.

Using the speed to propel myself up and bouncing off the wall onto the third floor window ledge, I landed in human form, before climbing through the window and into the safety of my room.

I pulled on a baggy grey tee before climbing into bed and wrapping myself tightly in the warmth of the quilt.

Yet still I can’t help but think of that wolf. It was amazing. Just so beautiful, yet it had a sense of strength and power to it that, although the normal reaction to this would be to run, for me it drew me in. Oh shitt, what the hell is wrong with me? Do I want to get myself eaten by wolves?! Gah, I need to sleep!

As I drifted off to sleep the last thought on my mind was the blue and black wolf.
