Chapter 2: Freak

Ethan's POV

"What do you mean it's gone?" Grayson whispered.

"I mean it's gone. What else do you expect me to say?"

"Let me see." I lifted my shirt. "What are you gonna do now?"

"There's nothing I can do. I don't think there's a cure for this type of stuff."

"What if you're some type of like mythical creature?"

"Like what? A werewolf?" I chuckled.

He looked me dead in the eye. "What if..."

"Grayson. Those things aren't real."

"It's a full moon tomorrow. I think you should stay inside. Locked up in like a box or something."

"I am not a werewolf."

"Then how did your wound heal so quickly?"

"Luck? I don't know."

"Ethan. Wounds don't just heal that quick. Do me a favor and listen to me for once in your life. Stay inside tomorrow night. Please." he begged.

"Fine. But if nothing happens, that's just me proving to you that I'm not a freaking werewolf or any other mythical creature."

"We'll just have to see about that."

Mia's POV

"How was school today?" my dad asked me at dinner.

"Not too bad. I met a few friends. They seem pretty cool. But everytime I become close with people, they get taken away because we have to move again so." I shrugged.

"This is the last time we're moving until you graduate."

I looked at him in shock, "are you serious?"

"Yeah." he smiled faintly.

I was filled with excitement. Maybe now I can actually live a normal life. Maybe have a love life. I'm so relieved that we're done moving.

"Thank you for the meal, mom. But if you guys will excuse me, I have homework to do." I stood up and walked to my room.

"Ah ah ah." my mom stopped me, "are you forgetting something?"

"Oh. Right." I awkwardly chuckled and pushed my chair in.

Ethan's POV

The following morning, Grayson and I went to our lockers.

"Did you hear that howling last night?" people by our lockers asked each other.

Grayson looked at me.

I don't even recall falling sleep. I woke up in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere. I don't even know how I got outside. Could it have been me?

The bell rang and we walked to English.

I saw Mia walk in, "morning." she smiled.

"Morning." I replied.

"Okay, everyone take your seats. Now I think you were thinking you'd be having so much fun and half ass your work this senior year of yours. But let me remind you, this class isn't easy, so I suggest you actually try." our teacher said. "Miss Vanderwaal."
