Finally its last day of school, six weeks to do nothing. Hey wait, that’s kind of boring i think I’ll go hiking. 5 minutes to the bell. I’ll go say goodbye to everyone so i can leave when the bell goes I’ll start with Jane a weird but friendly girl there's something about her but can’t put my finger on it oh well.
"Hey Jane" i call she comes bouncing over and says cheerily
"what?"
"See ya” i say she rolls her eyes
“The bell doesn’t go for another 5 minutes' she replies.
"I know” i say "i just want to leave when the bell rings"
"Oh" she says" what are you doing that’s so important"
“I’m going hiking in green wood” then i see something that startles me worry has covered Janes face so i asked
“What’s wrong?"
"It’s dangerous in there” she replied.
“How do you know?” I ask.
“Never mind just don’t go in there at least not this arvo" she practically begs now this is what always weirded me out she warned me about stuff where i couldn't see any danger but i normally would listen to her but this time i wanted to prove that nothing was wrong so i lied and said
“Ok"
"Good" she says. Then the bell rings and i put my stuff away and hurry home. Finally home for six weeks and a nice hiking trip ahead of me i put my hiking gear on. Luckily i can walk to green wood mum would say i either go with my dad or not at all. Oh well i start my short walk to green wood. When i get there i can’t help feeling guilty for lying to Jane i walk on, five minutes later i have the funny feeling I’m being watched when i turn around and there’s a big grey wolf staring at me. It howls. I start running and it follows quickly catching up. Then i hear loud vicious barking there where now two large wolves the black much larger than the grey. The grey stepped back the black one standing in front of me protectively. Huh this didn’t make any sense then a boy my age came into view he walked past the death staring wolfs to me and asked
“Are you ok?" he was strange he had one green eye one brown.
"Yeah who are you" I answered.
"I’m Jarred" he replied.
"Garreth” I told him.
"Oh black magic talks about you a lot" How does this black magic know me? Unless . . . but it couldn’t be black magic was always the name of her werewolf she always draws.
"Who’s black magic?” i ask.
“The really big black one" he points to the one that was protecting me earlier. I look at it. It has the same markings as one in the drawings does.
“Is that a nickname or her actual name?” i asked.
"Nickname, Her actual name is Jane Caletti" he says.
"Oh" i say. Then i hear Jane call out
"Now he knows my secret get him out here" Then the strangest thing happens. The grey one retreats as if Jane had just won the fight, strange. Jarred turns into a normal sized wolf, That’s weird the other 2 where oversized.
"Why are you so small and Jane and the grey one so oversized" I asked, confused. Jarred replied
“I’m a runner, the smaller someone is the faster they run same with wolves the bigger the strongest like Jane she’s the biggest in the pack”
"Really?” i say. Then i realize that Jane is right next to us she looked at me and said
"I told you so"
"Ok, ok. I shouldn’t have lied, but you should have told me you were a werewolf" I told her.
“Actually it’s too dangerous for mortals to know. Now get on my back or you’ll have to try and keep up and that would be really hard” she replied.
“Oh, ok" so climbed up onto her back and we started to run. We were running when i heard an extra sound of paws hitting the ground. I looked to my left and i saw the grey wolf jump. As she approached i noticed one of her paws was out and that it would scratch me, but i had no time to react. I felt pain shoot threw my left shoulder and heard the tearing of fabric. Then i heard Jane howl. The grey wolf kept running in seconds she was gone then Jane stop so did Jarred. I hoped down off her back and sat down near against a thick tree. Jane was tearing fabric off my shirt and wrapping my shoulder and quietly saying sorry to me. She was close to tears, i couldn’t see the problem it was just a scratch from a werewolf. Oh. Now i could see the problem. Jane turned to Jarred and she asked
"How long till he passes out?”
"He looks fairly light headed already. So fairly soon" he replied. Then it went black and i couldn’t see but i could hear and what i heard startled me. Jane was crying, i wanted to say it was ok but i couldn’t do anything it was torture.
