Werewolves//Book 1//

Chapter 2. Found Out

Natsu's scent was intoxicating, not that I was with him for most of this week. I was in the top sets with Levy, sometimes Erza. I only saw him during classes with my form, like Physical Education, or P.E. The boys were running laps around the courts as a punishment for annoying the teacher so much and the girls got to do what we were meant to be doing, badminton.

Levi was on the other side of the court as we played, trying to hit each other with the shuttle. Let's just say I got more hits than her. I looked over to the side to see the boys running. Natsu was way ahead of them, by miles! With the bug crowd, Gray and Gajeel were at the front of them.

"Lucy, stop staring, we have to carry on." Levy sighed as I quickly looked back. I held the racket at an angle and served the shuttle. Levy hit it and we carried on until the shuttle made us go so far back. "Should we go a bit forwards?" She asked.

"No, I need to hit you!" I hissed at her. I hit the shuttle with a smirk as she let it hit her. It scraped against her forehead and I ran over to the nets. I could practically smell the blood from ages away. 

"Sorry, I'm going to go to miss for you to go wash it." I said before running off. Talking to the teacher, I noticed Levy had sat at the edge of the court. She was gathering up spare shuttles no one bothered to use again and threw them back if needed. She walked out as out teacher gave her the signal to go. I took over her position and twirled the racket on the ground.

It's not easy having a great sense of smell sometimes. I could smell the stench of everyone nearby 10X an average human could. I laughed as the boys at the back fumbled over each other, they were getting tired. It was pretty funny to see, but the boys at the front weren't, well, they were beginning to, I think.

I could feel the body warmth of my friend on my arm and I turned around. She had got herself a little plaster, a little over dramatic, and was smiling. "We don't have to play, she said!" She laughed. "Woah..." She said as she looked at Natsu. I guess she hadn't seen him run yet.

"Is he on the running team?" She asked me and I shrugged. He could, and so could I. He was enjoying himself way too much for a punishment. Maybe because he was further ahead than the others. Humans weren't made to be like that forever, sooner or later he'd get tired and slow down to become last. 

"He's grinning like a maniac, do you think if the teacher noticed, they'll give him a worse punishment?" I asked her. She shrugged. Then, her eyes widened. She jumped up and walked closer to the back of the court, to get a closer look at the boys.

I followed her like the loner I am.

"Lucy, look at the boys in the crowd and look at Natsu." She pulled on my sleeve. I sighed as I looked at them. The ones in the crowd were running like normal. Gray and Gajeel looked like their legs were going to give away any moment. The other boys were already giving up. I looked at Natsu. He was running backwards, looking back at the crowd. His hair was being swept back by the wind and he was running like it was normal.

I got it.

He didn't show any sign of fatigue.

"Should we tell the teacher, he might pass out!" Levy panicked. I didn't know what to say, I looked through every possible reason why he was like this. Does he want to ditch Maths next lesson? Does he want to pass out like she said?

Another thought rushed in my head and scowled at the idea. It was a very far off idea, he'd never be a werewolf. I mentally laughed at my idea. He smelt nothing like any werewolf I had got a whiff of. Well, there was a scent I didn't know was.

I looked down, noticing his jumper he was meant to be wearing since it was Autumn. I crouched down and took a hold of it. I must look like a creep by doing this. I brought the dark jumper to my face and smelled it.

The familiar scent of sweet wood and smoke made my legs go wobbly. I tried to get the other scent. It was a weird blend of...

I dropped the jumped back on the ground and looked back at the boys with Levy. For more than one reason.

So no one would think I'm a weirdo for sniffing a boy's jumper.

And to get a closer look at the werewolf I had just found out.
