APUI: Volume 1 - My Life as a Werewolf

Chapter 15: The Forest Is A Surprising Place

Sorry I have been on an island that I cannot identify for security reasons and had no wi-fi for 6 days!!! And I got 3G once for like a minute on this really tall mountain but it was only enough to tell me I had 15 notifications... which is a lot for me...

I also got really bad blister/cuts on my heels and then I cut open my toe and it bled on my shoes before I noticed and I also stepped on a stick that spiked my foot (with the worse blister and cut toe) but didn't draw blood and then I was rolling down a sand hill and I hit my less bad blister and made it bleed all over the back of my foot before I noticed. Smiles...

< 💣B POV 💣 >

I carried my life out as normal but I knew Emmy was getting weaker everyday and she constantly craved her mate. At school I hung out with Ash, Abbey and Lora. We went shopping, trained and just generally hung out and became really close. Every time I saw Jackson we would pretend that nothing was wrong and nothing happened but we both knew that was a lie. Jackson kept it up with his sluts and apparently started 'dating' Amili again on Wednesday. On Thursday a guy came up to me and asked me out. I admit that he was cute but he so wasn't my type. But I am here for revenge and I couldn't pass up on a offer to make Jack jealous so I said yes for dinner on Saturday.

My studies were all really easy and I could do my homework quickly. Which meant I had spare time. I know that most people love spare time but I absolutely hate it. I just roam around and I don't know what the fuck to do with myself. At boarding school I could loiter or do extracurricular activities like dancing, singing and music. I also did combat training (it's not a werewolf school but combat is still offered) , extra academics, rock climbing, some sports and anything else that took my fancy and could fit into my schedule. In Evergreen I was feeling as lost and bored as Grace had felt, seeing as she has that same problem. On Thursday afternoon I decided I was going to pick three activities to do. I decided that on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons and all Saturday I was going to generally dance and learn the syllabus I was up to. Because Evergreen is such a small town it doesn't have a dance program of its own. That's why we have the internet. The next activity I decided on was fighting, partly because it's compulsory in this pack, twice a week, and partly because I need to know how to fight if I ever go rouge or run into some rouges. I was going to attend pack training on Wednesday and Friday afternoons and do my own combat, sometimes with Chris and Ash, on Monday afternoons. Finally I decided that Sundays were going to be my adventure days. This is when I could go and explore the forest, climb mountains (and trees) , scope the area, maybe do some cross country running and basically do whatever I want. I could of course alter my schedule slightly for friends and other activities.

After a afternoon of battements and échappés I fell asleep reasonably quickly. on Friday I woke up groggily as always and decide to go on a run before school. I used to hate and scrutinise running but it's a useful thing to do if you are a werewolf. I didn't turn into my wolf because I knew she might be too weak to run so I ran in human form in the forest.

I'm not a runner but being a fit werewolf I run pretty well. I only ran 5km at non race speed so I didn't get too tired. At race speed, like if I was being cases by rouges, I can run 2km in less than 5 mins but I get kinda tired at the end. I did this approximately 5km in half an hour because I was jogging. when I was almost home I heard some rustling behind me. I sniffed the air but I couldn't sense rouges. "who's there?" I asked. The rustling got closer and I heard a twig snap to my left. Suddenly, out of the trees burst a...

Dog?

The dog was a border collie but it looked in really bad shape. You could easily see it's bones even through its thick furry coat. There was blood on it in various places and it was limping. It also looked like it had something wrong with one of its eyes. My heart melted for the poor creature and my heart only melts once in a blue moon. I cautiously walked towards it but it growled at retreated. I had to get it help and for that I had to get it to food and medical supplies. this time I bent down and crawled towards the dog but it backed away again. Okay time for plan B.
