The Haze

Chapter One-Welcome

"seriously she failed me" Thalia screamed across the long, wide classroom, everyone turned to face her with confused expressions on their face "well maybe if you spent more time studying then you do turning into a wolf you might actually get a good grade for once" Kaylah said in a sarcastic tone "shut up I cant control it" Thalia snapped back in a slightly agitated tone "hey T calm down no need to oh-oh hey Shiya" Kaylah said slightly worried now "hello Kaylah and Kaylah's mutt" Shiya snickered as she said this "No Thalia don't" Kaylah screamed. A rush of anger flushed over Thalia and suddenly with one powerful jump Thalia's human body transformed into a graceful, towering jet black patterned wolf "oh really wolf girl you don't intimidate me" Shiya said.

"RUN!" Kaylah screamed at the people round as they fled for the door, Thalia's towering wolf figure began to snarl at Shiya "Watch this" Shiya yelled and with a powerful burst of energy Shiya jumped into the air and transformed into a large, tan, thick skinned cougar. However, this was no match for Thalia's speed, wolf instinct and strength. Thalia attacked her with skill and strategy she towered over Shiya who was now trembling with fear. the wolf in Thalia had taken over. Thalia looked into Shiyas terrified eyes and spoke to her telepathically "you shouldn't have done that kitty" "Ladies get up now" the principal Mr Wilkinson said "My office immediately" he said. The tone in his voice made Thalia's spine shudder. Thalia looked down and began to take over growled at the cowardly big cat that she towered over, she used every inch of her self control not to kill Shiya. Thalia began to think about the wonderful girl Shiya used to be and what a great friend and companion she was bubbly, kind, loud and exciting but they were all qualities she had lost overtime. Thalia arose and centred herself, scowled at Shiya and changed back to her human self as did Shiya. "Ill see you after this ok" Kaylah said as Thalia walked by with an angered look on her face "yeah." Thalia answered rudely.

The girls entered the large grand principles office and sat down at his mahogany stained desk paired with gold fixtures awaiting their punishment. His brow furrowed and his silver glasses slide down his nose and magnified his fierce eyes. His stern look pierced they're very being the tone of his voice could wake the dead. They had seen him angry before but not like this, this was different. "Ladies I'm from neither of your clans but even I know you must be cautious there is a never-ending war between your two species of Spirit animals. I understand that your both descendants of the founding families of the Shadow Clans. There is a history between the two of you an unfortunate one it is. You're getting older and your elders are sadly dying off but they have passed on a prophecy to your generation it states that soon there will be a war and a very savage one indeed. Just remember you're not alone" his words lingered in the air like a bad smell "we're sorry" Mr Wilkinson Thalia and Shiya said in unison "you get one more chance to prove that you should be at this school" he said sternly "yes Mr Wilkinson" Thalia said "yeah Mr W I fully understand" Shiya said with a perfectly vicious smile "you two are dismissed" he said finally, as the girls stood up he shot them a final stern glance.

Thalia rushed out to see Kaylah and her light in life Ash "hey there" Kaylah said cheerfully "hey" Ash said "hey" Thalia said as she jumped onto him, he caught her easily, they stared into each others eyes and blushed profusely. Kaylah stood there awkwardly twirling her black, silken hair and wondering when all the flirting would end "are we still going shopping?" Ash asked in a sweet soothing tone "yeah for sure" Thalia replied "hey lovebirds can I join?" Kaylah asked "yeah that sounds good" Thalia said as she gave Ash a cheeky smile "I love you" Ash said as he placed Thalia gently on the floor "I love you too" Thalia said as she reached for his hand he quickly accepted the request and held her smooth, gentle hand. All three of the seventeen-year olds walked down the long, winding, empty, bland school halls there was rickety cork boards, crooked posters, vandalised lockers and busted drink taps. Ash grabbed the handle on the busted door and opened it. The sun instantly blazed down on them as they followed a tilted, broken concrete path through the parking lot all the way to Kaylah's silver Lamborghini.
