Manipulation

Ch 34 Frozen Alive

I was preparing myself for the worst that morning. For pictures to be posted around the school, for people to know about what we were doing. It shouldn't have bothered me but it did. So i prepared, wearing my hair out so i could hide behind it if necessary and a hoody for extra cover if needed. Angel seemed oblivious to what i was doing last night but did pick up on Lucas's scent the second she woke up. Then i was lucky she didn't notice the small bruise/hickey on my neck, barley visible, the fang marks gone. I quickly sealed it with foundation so it didn't draw attention even though my hair made a curtain over it.

But as i sat in Wolf-studies i couldn't help pull at my hair, fidget whenever someone was looking at me to closely  Emily glanced at me again, her eyes watching me carefully. But she said nothing, for which i was grateful.

My wolf stirred restlessly as someone walked past. I glanced at the persons back before going back to reading the artical about some myths and how some humans know about werewolves but they were called Lycanthrope which meant 'Human to wolf'. It was strange how some people treated us, most tried to kill the Wolves, blaming them for everything they could so they could slay us. And there were others, mainly wise women who were friend with the Wolves, using strands of their fur in potions and burning it to ward of vampires and other creatures. And others hunted us for our hearts, thinking if you took a Wolves heart you would get luck and wealth, aging slower then any normal person.

Half of the stuff was fake, like how some people thought werewolves crossing running water that has been bathed in by innocent children would kill a wolf.

Some people had weird beleifs. Some people got this stuff close to right though, some got so close got obsessed with the truth and ended up going insane cause they couldn't know they couldn't find proof and never taken sirious.

I was so emursed in some of the stories i didn't think once about Lucas, but he was still there, always in my subconscious  mocking me. I jumped when the bell rang loudly, signalling the end of class and i grabbed my things as i left for the door. As me and Emily walked out of the building and towards our next class which was also together she turned to me. "Why do you smell of Lucas?"

It was a simple, easy question, her posture calm and unalurted but i knew she wanted to jump around in excitement about news and tackle me to get me to spill everything that had happened. Her eyes glinted as she turned to face ahead of us, her cheek twitching into a smile. "I was talking to him last night when i went for a walk. We were talking for ages" i say trying not to think about what had really happened. The kisses, the bite, being pressed to each other- No, stop, don't think about it!

Of course Emily didn't eat it up like Angel had, who had instead gave me a knowing look and nodded in a way to say 'yeah-okay' but she had dropped it. But Emily was like a dog with a bone, she refused to let go unless there was something better. Emily nodded, a smirk forming on her face. "Don't give me that shit. Something happened. I know it" she paused and glanced around at the people around us, and when satisfied no one was listening she turned to me and poked my neck with her finger. She lifted an eyebrow at me and turned to walk again. "There is only two things that cause something like that. And only one of which would leave his scent of you the whole day"

I frowned at her more now and she glanced back, snapping her jaw in a biting motion and i let my hair fall forward as i felt really embarrassed  "Don't tell anyone okay?"

"That's what friends are for!" She grinned and linked her arm though mine. "Now come on or we'll be late!"

Have you ever seen the movies where the persons being followed and the person keeps looking back but no ones there? And they get freaked out? Well, i use to laugh at that, thinking they were so stupid. But when it happens to you it feels very real and very scary. Every time i looked behind me no one looked suspious, the halls were filled with people shouting and running. It would be easy for someone to blend in. Still i had that un easy feeling. As i aproched my locker i noticed Eric and a few of his friends standing a few spaces away from my locker, all talking easily  They were all Angels exept two, one being Angel and the other a small Witch girl who i realized was Nikki. Her chestnut hair was brushed over her shoulder, tumbling over her chest and onto the arms of the guy holding her.
