. “Yep, i have everything we should need.” he answered , coming down the stairs. Angel headed out the door, and to the woods. Gazzy hoped that he would be able to show her his  true self.  After angel went ahead a bit looking for plants they could use. She thought he was behind her, but she looked up and saw something that wasn't normal.

   “ What in the world is that?” she asked  herself ,“ Gazzy? is that you?” she asked  amazed.  

      “ Yeah its me” he replied , smiling at her amazement. Angel suddenly opened her wings ,and flew up to meet him.

Gazzy  eyes widened and his mouth dropped open “ what?” he said , to  make sure he wasn't hallucinating.

   Her wings didn't disappear ,” i thought i was the only one” he said shocked at what he was seeing.

Angel laughed “ me too” she said happy she wasn't the only one.  They were both so amazed  that they almost forgot there project.they quickly gathered the samples and headed home.

As angel stepped thru the door , her mom asked “ where have you been? Were you and your partner working on your project longer than expected?”  

Angel  quickly apologize “ i’m sorry i lost track of time.”

“ Did you get your work done?” her mother asked skeptically.

“ Yes mother, we did “ she said innocently .

 “Good “ her mother said .

       Gazzy was in his room thinking over everything that happened today. How could he have thought that he was  the only one. Gazzy wished he had known, before now, that there were more like him. So much wasted  time on those who weren't like him, he sighed and tried to get some sleep. Angel couldn't get to sleep either , her mind swimming with the days activities. Another person like her, someone who wouldn’t run away.  An actual friend? How would she handle this? Never before had anyone stayed, could she really have a lasting friendship?

A few weeks later, Gazzy was waiting for Angel to show up for 3rd hr., but she didn't show.  Where is she? he wondered.  Mr. Watt, their teacher, called Gazzy to the hallway.  "Yes" he said, worried he would get yelled at.  "Are you worried about Angel?" he asked softly. "Yes she is usually always here." he admitted.  "She is absent once a month. You know she is part angel and part human?" Mr. Watt asked.  "Yeah" Gazzy answered curiously.  "Well, she has another part that needs to be fed once a month." Mr. Watt said quietly.  "Oh, ok" Gazzy said as he relaxed a little.

Meanwhile, in the woods, Angel was feeding on a squirrel she had just caught, as her wolf self.  After she finished eating, she changed back to her human self. She sat up in a tree absorbing the scenery, birds were chirping and bears were munching on berries. As the sun came out she climbed down and made her way home. She decided she should stay home as her inner wolf was still hungry, and very uneasy.

Gazzy ditched his 4th hr. class and went to Angels house. Standing below angels window, he called, "Angel, are you home?"  Hearing a voice, Angel looked out her window to see who was there.  what are you doing here?" she asked, wondering why he had left school.  "I came to find you" he said "Usually you are in 3erd hr." He replied, relieved she was in human form.   "uh-huh, so, why are you here during 4th hr.?" Angel asked, amazed he was daring enough to leave school grounds, for her.  Which no one ever dose because the school will send someone after you.  "Well, I need to ask you a few questions" Gazzy said " can I come in?"  "Yeah sure." Angel said then headed down the stairs.  "Great"  he replied as he headed to the door.

As Angel opened the door, Gazzy asked "Are you part wolf or something?" "Yes" Angel sighed heavily."My wolf self gets anxious to get out, so I stay out of school for the day." she said. "It sounds like Mr. Asher Watt has told you about this?" she said questioning, praying her wolf self was ok with all this, given the wolfs territorialism.  "How did you become part angel and part wolf?"Gazzy asked, very curious about all this.

"well, I became part Angel when I was 2, but I really don't remember how. Since my dad was part wolf, I became able to change into a wolf at 17." Angel explained without hesitation.  Though her wolf voice pleaded with her to be let out spouting "he's not suppose to be here!" "No, he's my friend!" Angel argued back.  "Angel, what's wrong?" Gazzy asked, concerned and now at her side.  "Just arguing with  the wolf in me." Angel replied with ease.  "Gee, I didn't know you had a friend, you've had so many that left" her inner wolf said coyly. "Yes, he is like me, and he understands" she said calmly.  "Oh, well excuse me for trying to protect my territory from him. I'm sorry I didn't know." her inner wolf said.   "It's ok, you didn't know, you thought he was an enemy of mine" Angel replied. Wolf asked, "yay, you forgive me?"  "yes," angel smiled to herself,  "I forgive you silly, I can't stay mad at myself." "yaaay" her inner wolf cheered.

"Angel, do you want to go to the woods with me?" Gazzy asked, sensing she was distracted.   "Yeah, sure" she said smiling.  " Woods, Why? your just going to make me want out more" her inner wolf complained. "Well, deal with it because I need to be there too." Angel scolded. As they were headed to the entrance to the woods. Just then she realized Gazzy wasn't walking with her anymore. Gazzy where are you!?" she growled.  "Look up" gazzy grinned "I figured you might want to fly." "Oh" Angel smiled as she looked up, spread her wings, and joined him in the sky.

"You know, it's best to let them both out on the same day." Gazzy said. "Really? I had no idea." Angel said curiously. "Do you have another part?"  "No, but my dad dose. that's how I know." he replied confidently. "oh" Angel said surprised.  They flew for a while, silently, until Angel saw the school and stopped.  

                                                                                                                                                                    “What's wrong?" Gazzy asked.

                                                                                                                                                                                   "Why are we going to the school?" Angel asked cautiously.                                                                           "Oh, well, it's just about the end of 6th hr., and i'd like you to meet someone."Gazzy said. "Who?" Angel asked as her inner wolf wanted to come out.                                                                                                                                                                                               "A friend of mine, he just moved here from California, and he wants to meet the girl who is like us." he replied.                                                                                                                                                ” but i'm not ready to meet someone else yet” she complained,it wasn't like her to complain but meeting someone new was is different.
