Omega

"Luna! Luna! LUNA!" Toby was calling me, but it was impossible for me to answer. This was because I was buried in pure, white snow. I was cold. Powerless. I tried to answer. My mouth was filled with snow, like a soft ice block without flavouring. Then at that moment, a strong, warm arm pulled me up, out of the snow - it was Toby. "Where did they go?" Toby sounded sincerely concerned. It wasn't like the boys hadn't hurt me before. Toby had never even worried about me. Before I turned sixteen, he treated me like I was his best friend.

"Luna, I'm talking to you. Where did they go?" Toby noticed I had run away with my thoughts, as usual.

"Sorry, I wasn't concentrating. And to be honest, it doesn't matter. Since when have you..." I stopped myself and started walking back from the woods.

"Since when have I what?" I could hear anger building up in his voice.

"Just forget it, Toby. I'm going home. Alone."

"Fine, I'll forget it but I'm not letting you walk home alone."

"I can do what I want. I'll see you later." As I made my way to the out of the woods, Toby grabbed my arm.

"It's too dangerous. Just let me walk home with you, please."

"Toby, I've handled myself for sixteen years now, I've walked in and out of these woods by myself hundreds of times. You're acting weird and you have been since my birthday so if you don't mind, I'm leaving. ALONE. " For the third time, I attempted to make my way out of the woods. This time with no interruptions. Usually, Toby and I walk on top of the hill together. This time it's just me. Why did he keep saying it's too dangerous for me to walk home alone? Why has he been acting weird ever since I turned sixteen? There's too many questions and not enough answers... ugh.

___________________________

I still haven't found out why Toby's been acting strange. I haven't talked to him since the other day. I have made the decision to follow him tonight and see what's up.

________•8 hrs later•__________

Toby is going through the woods alone. He knows exactly where he's going. I'm following far behind and struggling to keep quiet when he stops and meets several other guys. As they step into the moonlight, I notice he's talking to Jake, Lucas and Caleb - aka 'the boys' who pushed me over the other day. It's almost impossible to understand what they're saying until Toby raised his voice. "Do you understand? You can't treat her like that!"

"Dude, stop being so freaking protective of her! What's gotten into you? Luca sounded angry.

"You don't understand 'dude'. She's one of us now and everyone needs to learn to respect her. I want her to feel welcome." I could feel the anger in Toby's voice.

"You just want her to get Luna status, and we all know why. I don't think YOU understand that she'll start off as the Omega, because of her physical status, she's so weak." Jake sounded like he knew it all. What did he mean I'll be one of them? My name IS Luna... What is Luna? My physical status? How dare he! I'm not weak! Omega? I thought that was only in fish oil.... I'm so confused. Then, they were gone. Literally. I couldn't see them anywhere. All I could see is four wolves. They looked hungry. They looked at me. Crap, I thought. Just when I thought they were about to attack me, they ran in the opposite direction. Suddenly I connected the dots.
