Sally Jane

Chapter 1

I heard the sound of their bones cracking and shifting but I never expected this to happen to me... Could it happen to me? I felt myself wonder, is this truly my calling to be a werewolf? I felt my bones begin to crack, break and shift. The others around me were already shifted and were waiting for me to take my shift for the first time. But my shift felt different, I felt faint and light headed then I felt myself fall. When I came to the others were standing over me in their human forms with worried expressions on their faces. I looked up at them they parted when they heard my mother and fathers voices, my father walked over to me "Are you okay my dear? " My mother spoke next; " Of course she's okay Kris." I looked back and forth between the two of them passing the question " Why is everyone staring at me?" I saw my parents faces cloud over as they tried to come up with an explanation.. Finally they both said "It's better that we show you" They took me back into the house and into my room and walked me over to the mirror; I had deep black fur and crimson eyes, where as in my human form I had light brown hair and dark brown eyes. I shifted back with some difficulty as I was very tired. I sat on my bed as my parents stood. I spoke in the quietness " Mom, Dad? Why do I look that way?" My mother Ella replied " Your a wolf that is destined to be mated with one not of our race." As soon as those words came from my mothers mouth I took off into the woods, not bothering to shift.

I ran all the way to a clearing where I caught a whiff of a species I'd never smelled before. I then turned in the opposite direction only to find my path blocked, by the most gorgeous person I could have ever laid eyes on. His dark brown hair looking a tad messy his eyes gleaming as if he already knew me from somewhere else. My eyes locked onto his I felt my heart pound and goosebumps form on my skin. His hand moved as if to put away a weapon, but I hardly took notice. Before I even realized what was happening he vanished a note appearing where he once stood; it read:

" You have the most beautiful eyes and you are as beautiful as an angel if not more beautiful.... Come meet me at the edge of the woods tonight at 8:20pm. Signed Kaleb Nichols " The goosebumps disappeared in a rush of heat, I walked back home my mind on his most handsome face.

As I walked through the door my best friend Breanna tackled me to the ground in a tight hug she said in a worried voice " WHERE WERE YOU IVE BEEN WORRIED SICK!" I replied " Geez I was only gone an hour or two" Breanna " No, you were gone for 2hours and 30minutes!It's 5:30pm!!!!You ran off at around 3:00pm.." I mumbled " Dang I'm sorry....." My best friend replied " oh Danny was looking for you.. He's in the library..." " Thanks Bre.. I'll go see him now, I replied." When I got to the library Danny looked up from a pile of books; he exclaimed " SAL!!" He jumped up and pulled me into a large hug.. I choked out " Dan your suffocating me" Danny, " sorry... " he looked down as if hurt that he had nearly knocked me out.. Just as he looked down my best friend passed by and I saw his eyes dart up and himself blush. I whipped around to see Breanna's form disappear behind the kitchen door. I turned back towards Danny and said " Dan why do you always turn red when you see Breanna?" I thought to myself " I knew that I made a mistake to date him when everyone warned me that he was a cheating player" Danny replied " Oh it's nothing babe, I swear there's nothing going on between me and her.. I swear on my life Sal." I reply a little harshly; " THATS IT YOU LYING PIECE OF SH1T!!" I slap him hard across the face and see tears gush down his face.. Danny " I told you there's nothing going on with me and Bre!" I hear his heart start to beat fast.. I reply aggravatingly; " Yes, there is Danny.. There's no point in lying I hear it in your heart beat and see it in your eyes, Dan..." I hear Danny sigh.. Danny, " Yea there is something going on I just didn't want to tell you and break your heart... I'm sorry" I watch him leave the library and go back to his room.... I walk out of the library and wander the halls...As I walk back to my room depressed I glance at my watch and notice it's 7:59pm and that I'd lost track of time wandering the halls....
