Secrets Of The Woods: Werewolf Story

Chapter 37: Stuck with Dylan

Elizabeth Miller's PoV

It's Friday morning. The week's gone by pretty fast. Matthew's been getting training to control his wolf. I've finally been able to leave the house because my dad's been gone this whole week talking to higher up people to try and be allowed to enter the private property if they think a dead wolf body is there. I've been doing a lot of research about wolves. They are very close to being on the endangered list. Morgan was able to call there friends to come in town and start building the fence. So hopefully they can build that a lot faster then just a couple people.

I head into school and go to me, Zoe, and Matthew's meeting area. It's away from most kids so we can talk in private. Also even though Matthew's trying to not be popular anymore kids are obsessed with him because he stood up on the lunch table and kissed me. Which also makes me popular. Which is not what we want. I learned that James is best friends with Tom. Tom's dad is the principal so James never gets in trouble or anything put on his record. I like being with Matthew. We aren't official or anything. Just going with the flow and seeing where this goes. But we haven't been able to get together because my dad hates him and I was pretty much on house arrest until my dad went out of town. Also Matthew's been training most the time I've been able to leave my house so that makes things harder. But I know he's doing it for a good reason.

Matthew and Zoe are already there. I ask them "Why do you guys look so tired?"
Zoe yawns and tells me "This idiot woke me up very early because Morgan called him."
Matthew tells me "My cars been at school. Me and Zoe have been driving back and forth together. I needed a ride to the house. Mason wasn't doing good. They thought a blood transfusion from me would help do I did. Then we drove here."
Zoe says "Surprisingly we are still early. I thought we would be late."
I ask "Should you really be here if you just donated some blood?"
Matthew shrugs and says "I feel fine."
Zoe says "It won't kill him. If he feels bad he can go home early."
The bell rings so we all head off to class.

Schools pretty boring most of the day. It's just taking notes, doing work, trying not to fall asleep, and trying your best not to goof off. When the bell rings I'm excited because it's finally lunch. I got the first couple classes out of the way so now I'm good. I head to our lunch table after getting my lunch and sit down. Matthew and Zoe also got there lunches and are sitting down. Zoe asks "When does your dad get back in town?"
I tell them "I'm not sure. He never said. He just said he's gone all week."
Zoe rolls her eyes and says "Dylan's coming over again."
Dylan comes and sits down with us. He asks "What'd I miss?"
Matthew tells him "Nothing interesting."
"Why do you look so tired? Did you go to a party without me?"
"Nope. I just stayed up late doing homework."
"Wow. I never thought I'd hear those words come out of your mouth."
"Really?"
"Yep. You've never enjoyed doing homework. We'd do it all the time at my house together while watching TV. One does Math, the other Science, then we share answers. And so on. It worked because we did the same classwork but different class periods."
"Not for English and History."
"Those classes aren't hard."
"Whatever you say."
I tell them "We are doing a photography project and we need people to take pictures of. Would you guys like to be our models?"
Zoe says "It's me and Elizabeth doing it. You wear and do whatever we tell you. Shouldn't take too long."
Matthew says "Sure."
Dylan asks "That includes me?"
I tell him "If you want."
He says "I'm in!"
Matthew asks "When and where?"
Zoe says "We could do it at my house. The woods are right behind it and my parents are obsessed with gardening so we have different options there."
Matthew tells us "That works. I live right next to you. Dylan knows how to get there."
I tell them "Just give me the address then I'm good."
Dylan asks "Do you want us to bring clothes? Or do you have some outfits?"
Zoe yells them "I got plenty of outfits for you guys. We had to pick from what outfits our teacher has. That way she can control what outfits our models wear."
Dylan asks "So? Today right after school?"
We both nod our heads in confirmation. Zoe's phone goes off saying she has a message. She tells us "Mason's feeling better. He's been sleeping most of the day. But he's awake now."
Dylan asks "Who's Mason?"
Zoe tells him "You know the private property?"
"Yeah. Who doesn't?"
"I work there when the owners are gone to keep the place clean and tidy. Mason is one of the owners. He came back from a trip and hasn't been feeling well. His sister texted me saying he's doing better."
"Why don't we do the photoshoot there? There's so many more options to choose from."
"Because they had friends come in town. And Mason hasn't been feeling good today."
"Ok then. I guess you just don't want us to see there house. There's rumors it's huge. Perfect place for a party."
"There house isn't for parties. It's for there friends or family to come visit for a while. That's why its so big. They bought it from someone a lot older. It's more of a vacation home for friends and family then it is for parties."
"Then why do a couple people live there full time?"
"Because they help keep the place clean. Some of them don't live there full time. They travel for work or to go see there families and friends."
"Then why do they need your help keeping it clean?"
"I help keep it clean when most of them are gone. It's a giant house and takes a lot of work to keep it clean. Why are you so interested in it?"
"Sorry. I guess I really started drilling you with questions."
Matthew tells him "It's her job. She doesn't know everything about the place."
