Hunters and Families: Birth.

Chapter 3. Ceremony.

How? Why?! What the hell?! What is happening right here and now and more questions are not present!

Somehow, taking control of himself and accepting the idea that I'm a wolf - it is a reality, I tried to stand up on his four... paws.

Hard... Very hard! I'm human, not a dog... a wolf! And I'm not used to walking on all fours! It's... it's... Well, it's just somebody's bad joke! And why the hell am I?!

Derek nervously looked at me and helped me to get back on their feet. Nodding thankfully to him, I looked around, trying to see where we are.

As grandma said, we moved near a school, or rather of the whole city, the center of which stood the same school!

I noticed it all just by looking from the top of the hill where we moved. Strange, but in the guise of wolf, I felt, saw and heard two times better than in human form. Hmm, maybe this is even something good.

- Let's go down the hill. - I suggested to my brother when he looked down with me.

- And nothing that you in this guise, sister? he asked in his quiet voice. - The school can be misunderstood, if you see in this...form.

- There's nothing I can do about it. I said to him. - Let's go down to the city, we'll be late. Get, but we'll figure out what to say.

But there is not much time. said Derek, Recalling that due to the fact that I've been out, we hardly have time for the ceremony.

Lost in thought, I looked at his little brother, then on bags, then into your limbs, I almost grinned and offered Derek:

- Get on top of me.

What?! - he was surprised. - That is?!

- Oh, come on. - with a bit of fun I replied. - Let your older sister a little bit to mess you! Besides, you're smaller than me and lighter, so I can easily carry you myself. Will be fun you'll see!

- No , no, no! - the refusal shook his head, and I'm grinning, and realizing that we don't have much time, I grabbed him gently by the scruff and threw up on me, in fear he grabbed the hair on my neck, while I grabbed into the mouth of our bags without wasting a minute rushed to the side of the school campus.

Wow! Who would have thought that this body would be so easy to run and so fast! I felt very fast and would be easy to go around any obstacle!

I would have laughed, from a sense of wild freedom, but my mouth was busy with our bags. How cool it is! Don't know how to do it, but now I was just crazy about her new body! It felt like it was always part of me!

"Almost there" - mentally I said, already seeing the city gates, which were wide open and we quickly ran into them, only by seeing the guard, which apparently did not immediately realize what it was. Again, I mentally laughed.

Quickly skirting several obstacles in the form of urban residents and animals, we soon came in sight of the school gates which Slowly closed...?! Damn!

- Hold on! - I said inaudible to his brother, and putting in more effort, I accelerated and literally at the speed of light flew in through a small opening between the gates.

Once inside, I immediately tripped over something and fell to the ground face forward, and Derek fell close together with our bags. Somewhere close he heard the laughter. Damn!

Standing on his feet and shook himself of dust, I looked at what I might stumble and saw the tail of a large lizard and a guy older than I with him, I decided to keep the profanity to yourself. It is very dangerous opponents they looked. Hmm? Opponents? I wonder why it is I decided that they are my enemies? And, okay, not before!

Approaching Derek, I helped the scruff him to get to his feet.

- How are you? You look pale. - I noticed, really saw him too pale face. I ran too fast?

Just a little not used to... - quietly said to me Derek, and I felt guilty for it. Noticing this, Derek was quick to reassure me. - But it was cool! I first rode a wolf... And felt very free! So...

Next time, I'll be careful. I said to him, mentally smiling, and a little paderewskis about his face like a submissive dog.

- And it's not Derek? suddenly I heard the edge of their new ears, almost pulling them to the side of those youngsters who were whispering behind our backs.

- Derek Brown?

- The one who is considered an outcast since last year?

- I heard that he was unlucky to become the enemy of the lance family...

Is the one that for several generations has under his command the strongest familiars in the world of Beasts?

Loser...

What a pity...

I wanted all of them to growl to keep his mouth shut and not even dare to open it, but Derek suddenly heavily shook my fur on the neck, causing astonishment to look at it and see in his eyes just the request to remain silent.

Why should you be?

- Derek? ... I looked at him, but the brother only tighter to me, as if afraid that I will break and throw at his attackers. But I had no such desire. Exactly...

Soon all the students were distracted and looked up. I, too, noticed that on the small balcony of the school building, which looked out on the courtyard where we stood.

Man. A tall man, dressed in a severe dark suit, with a frown, dark skin, dark beard to match his dark hair and multiple scars on the neck and side of the face that were visible even from this distance where I was standing. Don't know why, but this man makes me fear!

- Welcome to school Hunters and Familiars, my dear students! loud boomed the man. - I'm glad to see in our ranks new and old students! Skip all unnecessary and stupid welcoming speech and get right to the point! In this school you will not be Babysitting or doing favors! Now Dark animals become more active and more willing to break through the line between two worlds! You, as future Hunters and Familiar! The future of our two worlds need to become more disciplined and stronger! Remember, you are primarily defenders, and then the soldiers! That's it! Can go!

And why on earth, I was in such a hurry? Short speech and all? I thought we were at least the schedule gives us, and here!

You know, I do not play!
