"LOOK OUT!"

The next thing I knew I was on the ground on the side of the road with someone on top of me. It was Charlie, he was laying on top of me and he was in human form. He had knocked me out of the way of the biker, and was now on top of me. Just then a car slowed to a stop next to us, and three girls looked out the window. I looked over at them and noticed that they were some girls that I went to school with. I looked back at Charlie and saw that he wasn't wearing any clothes.

That's right, when he transfo- wait... Shit! All these girls are looking at me!!! Wait maybe they are concentrated on him. Maybe they didn't notice me! I wonder if I could get away now.

But before I could get up and run, Charlie was already sprinting into the woods, holding his backpack so that he was somewhat covered. At that point I got up and ran a different direction into the woods.

"oh my god... I don't believe what just happened, I hope those girls didn't notice me." I jumped on to my feet and ran in the opposite direction of Charlie.

Now that I was in the woods I calmed down a bit, I sat down on a tree stump. Oh god, I'm positive that they saw me. Fuck. Ugh how am I supposed to explain this to the kids at school? Well I'll probably have to change schools, because there is no good explanation... Well I better find Charlie.

I started walking in the general direction of where Charlie ran.

THE PHONE, THE PHONE IS RINGING!

Shoot, that's my phone.

THERE'S AN ANIMAL IN TROUBLE!

I pulled my bag off my back, and searched for my phone.

Damn this bag is bigger than I thought! Ugh I really need to change my ring tone. WHERE THE FUCK IS MY PHONE!? Oh... It's in my pocket.

I pulled my phone out of my pocket and answered it quickly.

"hey hun."

Oh it's my mom. Why is she calling?

"uh, hi mom"

"hey um I have something to tell you, and I know you probably don't like hearing this over the phone but... There is this guy that... I've been dating."

"WHAT!?" I shouted.

"I know, i know. I'm sorry he just make me happy, and he's so sweet and-"

"mom that's great!"

"y-you really think so?"

"yeah! It's good for you to be able to start over with someone new!"

"oh well I'm glad you think that!"

"yeah of course!" I picked up the bag and started walking again.

"oh and I wanted to ask a favor of you."

"yeah what is it?"

"um well he has a son, and he has a tennis tournament about an hours drive from where you live. I was wondering if he could stay with you for about a month."

"a-a month!?" this can't happen! He might find out about Charlie, but if I just say no she'll be suspicious.

"yeah we're really in a tight spot here Jade, and I was just wondering if you could help us out here."

"..."

"Jade?"

"y-yeah, it's fine. As long as he's potty trained."

"oh of course. Perfect, thanks hun you're a life saver."

"yeah sure, no problem." ughghh why did I say yes!? This is gonna be hella difficult.

"alright he'll be flown down in two days." so soon!?!? Oh my god. Ehh but I can't cancel now.

"a-alright."

"thanks again, bye."

"yeah uh bye."

SHIT! This is bad! How am I gonna pull this off? Do I just tell Charlie to go live in that cave again? No I couldn't do that to him.

"hey" a voice seemed to come from no where. "Who said that?"I looked around, but couldn't see anyone.

"hello?" I half whispered.

"who was that. Who were you talking to, on the phone?" the voice questioned me again.

"w-who's there?" I stuttered. By this time my whole body was shaking.

what if it was one of those creepy people who followed girs around in the forest, and then chopped them up and ate them! OH SHIT this is bad I've gotta find Charlie! I started  walking quickly away.

"HEY! where do you think you're going?" The voice said louder. Suddenly a dark figure jumped down in front of me. I nearly ran into it, but stoped just in time. I looked up to see whoever's face it was who was stalking me. I looked up to see Ludo standing over me.
