Chapter 5

I whipped around to see Mason standing still, with a questioning look playing on his face.

"I could ask you the same thing." I avoided the question, eyeing him. "I asked you first." he told me, raising an eyebrow.

"Just you know, taking a stroll." I innocently responded.

"In the woods?" I nodded, "Yup, a nice walk in the woods, you should try it." "Maybe I should. Can I join you then to experience this?" he questioned. I internally groaned. Can't leave me alone for a minute can you Mason.

"Sure. But why are you here?" I repeated the question I asked not to long ago.

"Going for a run." he replied. "In the woods?" I mocked. A smirk appeared on his face. "Yup, a nice run in the woods, you should try it."

I rolled my eyes, "Maybe I should." 

But I could've sworn I heard him whisper to himself, 'looking for a vampire.'

I looked at him. Does he know we exist? What is he's a werewolf?

"Take a picture Rose, it'll last longer." he winked. "If I did I'd burn it immediately." I retorted. "Don't gotta be so mean Rose. I have feelings too." he pouted, putting a hand over his right side of his chest.

"Hey idiot, your heart is on your left." I laughed.

He rolled his eyes, laughing with me, "I'm different." "Okay Mr. Different, I gotta go home now so..." I said walking away.

"Wait!" I stopped, looking back. "Why don't we take a nice longer walk in the woods?" he cheekily asked.

"I suppose." I said, looking at him.

"I suppose that means yes?" he smiled with a raise of an eyebrow. I turned around, changing my direction from out of the woods to deeper in to the woods.

"So do you have a boyfriend?" he suddenly asked. I quickly shook my head. He showed his famous smirk. "Any crushes?" 

I rolled my eyes, "Aren't you desperate?" It was my turn to smirk.

He looked down, shoving his hands in his pockets. I suddenly heard a sound. "I hear something." I muttered. 

He looked at me oddly, "I don't hear anything." 

"Come on Mason. Let's go see what it is." I pulled him with me. I stopped abruptly, Mason walked into me.

"Hey! Watch it!" I said, patting my hair.

I was hearing the sound even closer now and I saw red eyes lurking out of the bushes. Oh no. Not again. 

I stepped back slowly, "Mason, let's get out of here." I whispered.

The werewolf jumped out at me, but with my quick movement, missing me. "Rose!" Mason yelled and he turned into a werewolf.

My eyes widened, he's a freggin werewolf!

Mason and the werewolf were really biting at each other until the whining of the other werewolf and it slowly retreated back into the bushes.

Mason turned to me and I shuffled back.

Suddenly, the football team came running out. "Mason! We sensed you wolf out and attacking and.." a guy, I think his name is Brian said, trailing off when he saw me. 

"and.. Scarlet Rose is here. You wolfed out in front of her?" he panicked.

I looked at Mason,then at the guys, still in complete utter shock. Mason turned back human saying, "Someone from the other pack came attacking her. I don't know why though. She's human, we only attack..." he spaced out watching me but shook his head.

I let out a sigh. He's dumb for a werewolf, he's suppose to sense my vampireness. 

He gave me his hand which I accepted. "So let me get this straight right, " I began when I stood up.

"Y'all are these big dogs that you would call werewolves." I said and they all nodded. 

I nodded, "Right, cool. Nothing bad about that. Really normal." I commented sarcastically but inside I was frustrated that I hadn't realized sooner.

So great, they're werewolves. This isn't good for me, whatsoever. If they find out I'm a vampire  that wouldn't end well.

"Yeah, that and everyone at school is a werewolf." he said slowly.

I let out a breath, "Even the-" he stopped me, "Even the teachers." "Wow." was all that I could muster out. This is fantastic. 

"Yeah, must be strange being the only human." he chuckled. 

"Well you got the only part right." I muttered. I nodded, "I, um, have to go.." I told him, backing away. "Wait!" Mason stopped me, holding my hand.

"Dad!" I screamed as the the werewolf bit into his neck.

I snapped back to reality. Mason's kind killed dad. "Rose? Your eyes are orange?" he stated, but it came out more like a question.

After all that of course I'm scared. I shook my head, stepping away from him, then running away. When I reached a safe distance, I dashed home, fearful that Mason would run after me in his werewolf form.
