Wolf of Shadows

~ Chapter 2 ~

"No you knock". "I'm holding the cookies", "Fine", I say and knock. As we wait Mom tells me to be nice, but stops short, because the door is being opened. It's a middle aged woman, "Can I help you", she looks at me, then over at Mom. "Isabelle", the woman says. " My Mom replies with, "Caren", "Come in, come in", she says. We go in, it's a really nice place. "It's been way to long Isabelle. I didn't even know you had a daughter." She looks over at me, "Shes pretty, what's her name?" Before my mother could say anything I did, "My names Brittany, you can call me Britt. And thank you for the compliment, but I don't agree." "Oh...well ok Brittany, it's nice to meet you. I'm Caren, me and your mother go way back." "Yes we do", replies my Mom laughing. They sit down and start talking, I'm not paying attention until..."Brittany are you going to say something?", I jump. "Sorry what", "Caren said her son is your age." Oh no no no, I really want to leave know. I'm not good with people in general, let alone people my own age, that are boys! Damn, why didn't that wolf eat me when he had the chance? That's when I heard him clear his throat, I turn around and my jaw drops.

"Hey, Brittany", he says. He wasn't just good looking, he was hot. He had bleach blonde hair, a little bit of a tan, and muscles. Yea defiantly muscles. "Umm ha Hi", is all I can muster to say. "Skyler, my name is Skyler", "Oh well then hi Skyler", he just laughed and smiled. Even if I did think he was hot, I didn't make eye contact. "Well?" "What sorry", "Do you want to come back an see my room?" His room?! What was he thinking, but I look at Mom, but all she did was nod her head yea.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ok I have to admit his room is pretty nice, but where did he go? He brought be back and just kinda walked out, and left me sitting on the bed. So I'm stuck looking out the window, which has me thinking of the wolf. I don't even hear the door close. "Hey sorry", I scream and fall off the bed. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to scare you", he helps me up, and I finally look into his eyes. As soon as I do I wish I hadn't, "You have pretty eyes", I say. They look so familiar, "Have I met you before?" He pauses for a minute, almost as if he has to think about it. "I don't think so. Unless you know we have and just aren't telling me", he winks and laughs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"He's really nice, and funny too". "Well it sounds like you two hit it off." Ok, so I know I said, I don't like meeting new people. But I'm actually glad I met Skyler he's cute... ok HOT, funny, and nice, but I'm also curious about him. He seems so familiar to me. He acted like we had met before, and his eyes just pull me in.

Later that night, around 9 I try, falling asleep since school is tomorrow. But the wolf just wouldn't leave my mind. So I got on my laptop an looked some things up on wolves. Here are somethings I found...
1. Wolves normally live, and hunt in packs.
2. There are ranks or positions in a wolf pack. Alpha, Beta, Delta, Sintenial, Elder, Hunters, Caretakers, Omegas, and Pups.
I look over at the clock and it's 11:30pm , already. Maybe I should try and get sleep. As I'm in bed again I still can't sleep, so I look out my window for the wolf. Then I realize I can see Skyler's bedroom window from mine. His light is on, how come he's not asleep?
