Tainted Blood

Chapter 1

"dog pile!" I hollered to my best friends, Taylor, Max, Chris, and Blake.

Taylor is 14 along with me. She has ink black hair and striking green eyes. She hasn't shifted yet, but then again neither have I or any of our other friends seeing as how we shift at 16. Surprisingly, she's taller than me, making me the shortest of our group of the 'fantastic 5'.

Next, is Max as I like to call Maxy Waxcy or MW for short if I just don't feel like saying all that. He has dark brown curly hair and honey brown eyes, almost making him look like a bear. He's 15, and already at a height of 5'9. That kid is a monster and if it wasn't for me being one of his friends, then I'd probably be running from him. But I'm Ashley Fringe and I don't run from anyone or thing.

Now, there's Chris. He's the odd one of the bunch, but let him know that I told you that. Blackmail is a very useful thing if its not being used against you, and unfortunately he has some against me. A couple days ago, I 'accidently' went into his room and hid all of his cloths. but like I said, it was an accident. Anyways, he has Dirty blond hair with light green eyes. He's 15 like Max and is at a height of 5'7.

Last, is my favorite Blake. He's my cousin and the next Alpha of this pack. The reason I live with him and this pack is because both of my parents died awhile back ago in one of the wars that the king had started. He needed more warriors and sadly, both my parents were alphas not leading a pack so my parents willingly went to fight for him. The day they died, I was forced to live with my Aunt and Uncle. the Alpha of this pack, the redwood.

Back on topic, Blake, like me has blond wavy hair except his is obviously shorter than mine and is 15 instead of 14. Actually, the only real difference between us is our height, age and eyes. while his eyes are brown and he stands at a height of 5'7. I have bright blue eyes and stand at a small height of 5'4 that whenever there a chance to be made fun of it, someone always does.

Before I could even think about moving out of the way, I was attacked from all sides and thrown at the bottom of the pile. I groaned as I felt an elbow jab into my side, thank god for being a werewolf with fast healing. Otherwise I'm pretty positive that I'd be covered in bruises of all shapes and sizes. My friends aren't the lightest of people.

I heard a deep chuckle from the top of the pile and tried my hardest to send glares through everyone above me, but unfortunately, I was so far at the bottom to where I couldn't even lift my head from all the fat lards above me.

I was able to squeeze one of my hands out of the pile in a gap between Max and Taylor. Slowly, but surely, I managed to get another hand out, then my torso and finally my whole body. None of them noticed that I had squeezed my way out which caused a satisfactory grin to sneak its way on my face.

I looked at the top of the pile and noticed Max was the one on top squishing everyone to the bottom and laughing. A smirk replaced my grin and I sneaked behind Max all Ninja like. When I noticed him about to push down harder, I let out a war cry and jumped on top of him causing me to be on top and everyone else groaning from pain. I laughed some more and pressed more of my weight on Max. That's what he gets for squishing Ashley Fringe.

"get your boney butt off me," Max groaned along with everyone else. I pressed my butt down harder on him making sure to wiggle around on his back. I laughed evilly and watched them all try to move around unsuccessfully. None of them have the Ninja skills I have that it takes to get out from a dog pile.

"Awe! Is Maxy Waxcy getting squished," I cooed to him in my best baby voice. He made some sort of inaudible sound which caused my already big grin to get bigger almost tearing my cheeks in half.

"ha ha, real funny squirt, now get your butt off me," he grumbled.

I gasped dramatically at him calling me Squirt, He was just trying to get him self injured some more. Of course he would be the one to make fun of my height by calling me squirt right now.
