The WereGirl and the WereBoy *ON HOLD*

Chapter 7

Eva Bourne as Claire Sullivan

Julie Anne

I finally get back to Tom's house with my mom's jewelry box in tow. I need to avoid him though, just till I can get the bruises covered. I jog to the front door and turn the knob sliding the door open with ease. I slip in and put his keys on the small table next to the door then run up to my room. I can see my door and I smile with joy. Right as I go to open the door a dark hard reaches it first. Shit.

"Julie Anne you're home!" Tom said excitedly. Placing his other hand on my shoulder. 

"Ya just got back. I have to go now I'll be down for dinner later." I say not turning to look at him.

"Are you okay?" He asks starting to slowly pull my shoulder back so I face him, but I beat him to it.

"Ya I'm fine just need to go to the bathroom that's all." I tell him. 

"EW TMI!!!" He yells as he turns and runs down the hall. I laugh and enter my room.

I place my jewelry box on my dresser and go to the bathroom pulling out my make up. I start to cover the small bruises on my face and my hands. I go to my closet and pull out a olive green long sleeve shirt and some black yoga pants. I sigh when I know all my bruises and scraps are covered. I never thought in a million years this would become my life. Living away from HIM and actually being able to explore and not be locked in a room. This is all so new and I can't wait to meet new people and maybe just maybe have new friends. 

I hear a howl coming from out in the woods, so, I turn and walk out onto the balcony. I watch the tree line when I see a large black wolf staring back at me. My eyes widen in shock and I quickly go back inside my room. I slowly, trying not to panic, walk down stairs and find Tom.

"Tom I think I am going crazy." I whisper to him afraid of how he might think of me.

"What do you mean, going crazy?" He asks

"So I went onto my balcony and I saw this huge black wolf standing outside near the tree line. It was bigger than any wolf I have ever seen." I tell him.

"Oh really? You did?" He stammers. I think I just saw worry pass through his eyes.

"Ya."

"Oh um well you might have just overestimated the size, I am pretty sure it was just a normal sized wolf." He says not looking at my face.

"Okay whatever you say Tom." I knew he would think I was crazy. Who wouldn't? I'm the abused girl from a different town, who has only been here for a few days. Actually almost a week. So that means school should be starting if I am correct, tomorrow. Oh no school starts tomorrow. 

I have always wore black or grey to school. They have just been my colors. They make me feel like I'm not noticed or seen, and I like it that way. I would always come to school with bruises and scratches but it didn't phase me. It had been my life and I was willing to accept it. Now, however, my life was different. I wasn't stuck with my abusive step father and his sons, I wasn't living my life in a basement. I could actually have friends now. The only problem is, I am still going to the same school I have always gone to. So that means tomorrow I am going to see Josh and Ethan, my step brothers. I don't know what will happen if they see me. Knowing how they have always been, I know that there will be name calling and all that maybe a few punches, who knows. The one thing I know for sure is that, this is my last year and I won't have to deal with it anymore. 

I go to my closet looking through my clothes, I pick a pair of black jeans with my black Nikes and a dark grey long sleeve. I put them in my bathroom and walk over to my bed collapsing face first. I don't know if I am mentally ready for tomorrow. I am so drained from today that I decide not to have dinner and just go to bed now. 

{The Next Morning}

BEEP BEEP BEEP

What is that god awful noise! 

I turn toward the obnoxious beeping and open my eyes slightly. Oh. It was just my alarm clock. Wait, why did I set an alarm again? Oh right, school. I press the off button on my clock and slowly peel myself out of my comfy and warm bed and shuffle to the bathroom. I do my business and hop into the shower and wash my hair and shave. The warm water feels nice on my sore body. Reluctantly, I climb out and wrap a fuzzy towel around my small frame. I turn and see the dark purple bruises all over. *Sigh* Why did this have to happen? 

I pull on my clothes, brush my teeth and hair and let it just rest in it's natural place. I pull out my cover-up make up and conceal the bruises as best as I can. I slip on my Nikes and go down stairs to grab something to eat. 

I walk into the kitchen and towards the big bowl of fruit sitting on the large island and grab an apple and pull out a stool. I wonder how today is going to go. I hope Josh and Ethan don't find me. Maybe I'll make a friend, probably not. Huhh.

My thoughts are disturbed by the yelling coming from outside. Curiosity gets the best of me and I walk toward the back door. To my surprise, it is wide open and a small crowd has developed in the yard. Not wanting to get any closer then I already am, I stay put on the porch.

"YOU ARE NO GOOD FOR THIS PACK FATHER!!!! I JAX JONES CHALLENGE YOU ALPHA WILL JONES FOR SPOT AS ALPHA!"

"Oh son, how stupid are you. Letting your anger get the best of you. You will only destroy this pack and you know it. I advise you to back down."

I can't see anything but what do these two mean? Pack? Alpha? 

"I WILL NOT STAND DOWN FATHER! GRANDPA WOULD'T HAVE WANTED THAT!"

"This is about your grandfather! Are you kidding! That man was a no good lier and cheater. He stole from this pack and weakened it."

"HA! You believe that father? I think that is your cover up for what you did under your father's nose. You sack of shit!"

"THAT IS IT! I ACCEPT YOU CHALLENGE YOU UNGRATEFUL SHIT HEAD!"

"Bring it on old man!" 

I hear a loud slap and a growl coming from inside the circle of people. The loud clap of a hand on a body brings me shivers and I have to turn away and go inside, and I run into a beautiful girl in the process. Next thing I know my butt is sitting on the wood floor.

"Oh my god I am so sorry! I shouldn't have walked so close to you! Let me help you up!" The girl squeals.

"It is no problem it was just an accident. It was my fault too. I shouldn't have turned around so fast." I state as she pulls me up off the floor. My brown eyes meet her almost grey ones. She is beautiful, light brown hair frames her slender face perfect. Her light red dress and black heels show her body in the most perfect way. She looks amazing. 

"Hi, I'm Claire! What is your name?"

"My name is Julie Anne."

"Well it is nice to meet you Julie Anne but I have to go get my little brother or we are going to be late on the first day of school. Sorry for running into you, see you later!" She waves strolling out the back door toward the large crowd of people.

"Hey Claire! Can I catch a ride with you guys?" I ask realizing that I don't have a car or a ride.

"Of course you can just meet me up front I pull the car around!"

Well maybe I will have a friend after all.

Chapter 7 y'all! Sorry for such the long wait! School got really stressful there for a second! I will hopefully update again this week! Love you all enjoy this chapter!
