chapter 3 I'M A WHAT???????

Jarl expected his Freshman year in highschool to be hell his first few days was filled with him being bullied but on the second week in the group of bullies he saw his best friend from grade school . . . well really his only friend he hadn't wanted to face her definitely it was the day he had brought a knife to school incase they decided to beat him up again but . . . seeing her with them made him question everything he was doing so instead he sat by the courtyard door of his first period. There the bullies found him and started beating him . . . they smelled of beer of course she'd get involved with these people. She was always talking about how her dad was a big drinker she must know these idiots through him then suddenly the beating stopped he looked up to see O'donnell protecting him he had started feeling something for her since grade school she looked back at him and saw how beat up he was she looked at the bully who was throwing the punches and gave him a right hook to the jaw then turned "Jarl Are you okay?" he just chuckled and passed out most likely because he got a few hits to the head but he also had lost some blood

He didn't know why but every time he was here he couldn't help but remember that time. When he walked the corner he was greeted with a tight hug which he couldn't help but nuzzle into it WHAT ARE YOU DOING JARL? You know she doesn't like us that way . . . are we looking too much into this? Before they knew it the bell had rung Jarl didn't think about anything but how long that hug he thought about it for the next few hours soon enough it was time he started walking home with his foster dad's words echoing in his head he then looked over at the sun and decided to run because it was an hour or two before the sun started setting. Right before the sun set he reached the door before he could decide whether to go in or sneak in the house when the door swung open inside he found his foster father. "You have a lot of explaining to do McFarland" he turned to run but his foster dad's hand snatched his arm. Pulling him in and tossing him in his bed room he sat there for a few minutes until his dad left after a few minutes he looked outside only to see a police car crap! How did I not see that? I'm so freaking blind! It was obviously his foster dad's parole officer his foster dad always became more violent when he left. He had to get out . . . fast! Jarl could always just go to the Parole Officer he is O'donnell's father after all the firs time he went to her house he saw her dad he knew who he was instantly. He knew his foster dad knew who his daughter was Jarl was scared that his foster dad would hurt her that's the only reason he didn't tell anyone not even O'donnell about his abusive dad he sighed texting O'donnell

"Hey O'donnell what're you up to?"

A few hours later she texts back "hey sorry Jarl I just had to eat dinner"

he hadn't texted back she saw him the next day at school he had walked like he always did

On his way to school he saw a fox sitting there just staring at him. He looked at it for a few minutes and thought nothing of it, so he kept moving when he saw O'donnell she looked at him, smiled, and started bouncing. (gosh she's adorable!) He thought smiling as his heart started skipping beats. He smiled and looked at her " hi" he said

"I didn't know you had a pet fox " she said nodding towards the fox that had apparently followed him to her.
He sat there thinking ( why did you follow me?)
Then in his head Jarl heard a feminine voice ask
( do you have time? I need to talk to you, It's important) Jarl shouted in alarm and O'donnell put her hand on his shoulder.
"Are you alright?" She asked obviously worried
" yeah just thought I saw my step-dad and I got a chill"
The voice said ( nice lie now kiss her and let's go) at that comment Jarl Blushed instantly the voice spoke again ( ah so you two have feelings for each other but don't know how to say it?) It was at this time when Jarl turned a deep shade of red he looked at the fox and he saw a hint of amusement. Then he heard the voice say
( oh, well hello there)
O'donnell had to ask
" what's wrong Jarl?" He sighed trying to calm down and said
" nothing, just thinking" it was at that moment . . . Jarl knew he screwed up as the second unknown voice laughed inside his head
O'donnell just had to ask "and what's that?" This surprised him so much he shouted
" nn-nnn-nothing!" Then he took off running as the fox leaped to follow him O'donnell just sat there watching him and she smiled. Then she noticed she was staring and walked off 

(you truly are an idiot aren't you?) he looked at the fox "who are you to judge me?" he said warranting a few curious looks from people that were walking by.  he sighed and sat down. what is it you needed? because I guess I'm going crazy because I can hear foxes 

the voice laughed and said (oh c'mon you cant be serious!) 

he gave the fox a weird look "what do ye mean?"

the fox rolled it's eyes and the voice said (you're a changeling idiot!)

Jarl gave her a worrying look "no I can't be, I'm a human I've gone to the doctor's office too many times . . . "

the fox rolled her eyes and said (HALF changeling you're still our prince I'm telling you this so that you may be able to protect yourself . . . to tell you the truth I am also a changeling ) she began to morph into a girl about his age 

(gladly her fur morphed into clothes) he thought to himself. he looked at her . . . he then stopped and got angered "why did you pick to turn into O'donnel?" 

the fox girl looked shocked "I thought you liked this girl I figured this form would be more pleasing to you . . . I just realized I never introduced myself" she smiled and held out her hand "my name is Jemma and you're Jarl you don't have to introduce yourself"

Jarl sighed "ok fine you're right but please change outta that form before she comes back"

Jemma obliged and ran off. O'donnel went home early that day so he wound up walking home, alone. half way home he met up with Jemma again, Jemma smiled at him and said "hi" but he couldn't care less. she got frustrated and said angrily "FINE I DIDN'T WANNA TELL YOU THIS LIKE THIS BUT HELL YOU'RE A CHANGELING!" she stormed off towards his place

his eyes widened and he was absolutely confused "wait I'm a WHAT?" he ran after her then noticed she was at his doorstep "why are you here?"

she smiled at him knowingly and said "nice to meet ya 'Bro' "

his jaw dropped
