Shapeshifter

Chapter Seven: Thank You

I opened my eyes and sat up, yawning and stretching, then looked around my room. Sam was laying next to me on the bed, still sleeping and I smiled and laying down again, resting my head on his chest. I moved closer to him and drew patterns on his chest with my fingers but stopped when his hand grabbed mine, and he chuckled. I gasped and looked up to meet his eyes. "Sorry. Did I wake you?" I asked.

"Yes." He said.

"Sorry." I whispered, sitting up. Sam sat up too and looked at me, making me blush and look away. I was still in the clothes from yesterday, he was Sam. We had moved to the bed and I fell asleep in his arms forgetting about the storm that had raged on throughout the night. It was quiet now that it was morning, thankfully. I grabbed my phone and looked at the time. "Shizz! We're late for school." I stood up quickly and looked around for my school shirt. Where did I put it? I growled and walked to Leo and Sebastian's rooms, pounding my fists on the doors, one by one. "Get up! Come on, lazy bones! Get out of bed!"

"Shut up, Cj!" Leo shouted with a groan. Sebastian's door opened and he rubbed his neck and yawned.

"Who died? Who's dead?" He asked. I guess everyone didn't sleep too well with the storm.

I pounded my fists on Leo's door again. "Leo in a minute if he doesn't get up. We have school!"

"Who cares?" Leo growled.

"Don't make me come in there and kick your wolfy ass."

"Alright. Alright. I'm getting up. I'm up." I shot an apologetic smile at Sam, who stood in my bedroom doorway. I waited a few minutes for Leo to get up and when I didn't hear movement in his room, I opened the door and folded my arms over my chest.

"Leo!" He sat up quickly.

"I'm up." He said quickly. "Don't sacrifice me to Satan."

"I think Satan will give you back to me." I muttered, walking into my room. Sam said he was leaving and going to the pack and he'd meet us at school. I nodded and he left. I found my shirt in the corner of my room and got ready, brushing my teeth and hair after I was dressed. I grabbed my bag and we all got in the car.

The first two periods went by agonisingly slow, I didn't have Leo, Sebastian or Sam in either of the two classes. It was boring as hell and I couldn't wait to see them. I walked to our spot and looked around, waiting for the others to turn up. I had told Sam to meet me here and hang out with us now that his friends were jerks. They always were jerks, but after he and Zac fought, Sam chose to join us. It was still The Shadow Trio, we just had another person. So, The Shadow Trio plus one.

I grabbed out my phone and woke the screen. Where were they all? "Is this her?" Someone asked from behind. I turned around only to be pulled into a hug. Leo, Sebastian and Sam stood behind the girl who was hugging me, with Becky.

"Uh, hi?" I asked in a high pitched voice. She started squeezing me and I glared at a laughing Leo and Sebastian. The girl pulled back and cupped my face, kissing my forehead.

"Oh my god, Elise. Stop that." Becky groaned. Elise looked at Becky then back to me, stepping back.

"Sorry. Hi, I'm Elise. Thank you for helping my sister yesterday, with Zac. Where is that bastard? I'll give him what he deserves." She said, cracking her knuckles.

"It's alright. And I suggest you don't go after Zac." I said, raising an eyebrow.

"I'll make him run off with his tail between his legs." She said and I couldn't help but laugh quietly. She was definitely a character.

"No, really. Don't. We'll end up involved and I'd prefer to stay out of it." I said and I looked at Becky. "Oh and Becky, what you said about sensing more then just a horse in me, you were right. I'm a shapeshifter. I can shift into whatever animal I want." She smiled and nodded.
