Some boys played lacrosse on the field during lunch break. From the very front row of the bleacher watched Brett and I them. Aside from the boys yelling and few birds chirping, the world seemed quiet.

The sky was a mundane shade of gray. I looked at the boy beside me. Endless space was left empty between us. Enough space to be filled by another person. He got his lunch box in his lap. The food was left untouched and cold.

"Are you just going to keep doing that?" He said without looking up.

"Doing what?" I continued to watch the game.

"You know what." He kicked the ground.

Theo formed an alliance with Deucalion to over trone Scott. What I could not understand was why he did not kill the alpha himself. The man was already attached to The Dread Doctors machine thing. Deucalion was defeated. Theo could easily take him. Did we risk our life for another lost cause.

"I don't have a choice." I came to a conclusion.

"You always have a choice." Brett quickly answered.

He was starting to get impatient with me. It was hard to do anything about my situation, my hands were tied. Disobeying someone as obsessive as Theo would only lead to my very end. Not everyone has the privilege of being strong their entire life. The privilege of being a real werewolf, with a real alpha.

"What do you want me to do?" I looked at him.

His eyes opened up. The frown on his face faded. "You could leave."

"And go where?" I shook my head.

"Satomi, she would take you in. Anyone who tries to hurt you then would declare war." He suggested.

I got up. "Maybe that's what's coming."

Brett got up too. His figure was significant taller than me.

"You going to die doing this. You're killing yourself for what?" He raised his voice. Brett rarely yelled.

"And if I don't stop this thing, this beast. Everyone will." I got walked closer to him.

"Scott will take care of it."

"Scott isn't good for shit." I cut him off.

Scott only takes care of things when it is too late. When everyone is dead. Scott is just another stupid teenager. Just like us. Eating lunch, watching lacrosse games.

My chest was closing up. Lately, no matter how much I breathed, nothing was enough.

"No matter how it ends. It will end soon enough." I walked away. The anger that builded up in me, it vanished.

I stormed in the school. Waited in an empty classroom for the class to begin. The room was dark. Darkness followed me everywhere.
