Something About Being A Mate... Whaaat?

Chapter One.

I take a deep breath and hold it in. What the hell am I doing out here all alone? If Sister Mary found me gone, I'd be in some serious trouble... So ask yourself again, Ashlyn. Why are you out here?

I let go of the breath I was holding in, "Far out, Ash... What are you doing?" I whisper to myself.

My feet are still leading me across the small town and towards a lake. I've never done something like this before... What exactly is this? Wandering from my dorm, when it's past midnight.  I've been warned that there are supposedly things out here of a night time, that wolves drink by this lake. Perhaps that's why my feet are walking to the lake on there own accord. But I'm so curious... This is my once in a life time chance to actually see a wild wolf.

I can see the lake from where I stand now, there's fog rolling over the water and I can feel the fog drifting between my legs.

Okay, feet, you can kindly stay put now. I am hidden by bushes and it's so foggy that possibly nothing could see me anyway.

I crouch down and knead my hands into the dirt. I look around me, listening to every sound. But I can't hear anything at all... I sigh, smooth Ash. Real smooth... Seriously, you'd really believe useless rumours?

I stand up and move towards the lake with my hands tucked into the pockets of my ripped jeans. I kick a stone into the lake and listen to it hit the water. I slouch over from the breeze and walk to the edge of the lake. I stare down at my own reflection, my long black hair is up in a messy bun, as it usually is and my face is clear of any make-up. The tip of my perky nose is a bright red and so are my cheeks. Usually I don't consider myself beautiful or even pretty. But somehow, in this moonlight and my distorted reflection staring back at me, I feel Beautiful, unique... My hazel eyes are shining brightly and they have a sparkle as if I've just recently done something exciting. I wish I could feel this way everyday. Is a boyfriend supposed to make you feel this way? Because the only time I ever feel this beautiful is when I'm looking at myself through water of a night time.

I look away from my reflection and spin around. Shivering from the cold, I force my hands to pull my hood over my head and place them back in my pockets. Well, there goes that plan of seeing a wolf tonight, down the drain. Now to just hopefully get back to my dorm without being caught.

"Hey!"

I almost stop dead on my feet... I'm only two blocks away from the Nunnery, I'm so close! I walk a little faster.

"Stop right where you are!"

I can hear his footsteps thumping against the pavement and I can't help but squeak a little. This can't be happening...
