            Howls filled the night.I sighed, this kept happening . I didn't know what creatures were howling, not dogs, that's for sure.I did a little research and found out hat no one owned a dog.Weird, huh? They always answered with,"They deserved freedom,  animals are not pets."

           I was just very scared.I sighed and shoved my headphones on my head letting All Time Low drown out the howls.I smiled, Missing You is playing. One of my favorites.I continued packing. I didn't have much.Only my clothes, cameras, and pictures. I didn't have friends.I tried my best to be ignored, and yet, I'm being adopted.

          Not that I'm complaining. I love this place, but c'mon,  who wants to be family-less.I sighed and packed my memory cards into my little bag.I looked around my little apartment like room.The orphanage was an apartment complex with a mansion next to it.The mansion was for people who didnt want to have their own apartment.

         The apartment complex was for preteens and teens.We had many orphans here.There were many deaths here and people seemed to be extra slutty here.I sighed.

         My apartment was simple.I had a bed in the corner next to the window,  the covers were neon green the pillow was black, and very cool for the hot summer nights.I had a small couch in the other corner with a desk and chair next to it.It was a simple little apartment.

      I finished packing and sat on the bed, looking out the window.Gosh, I love it when the moon looks like a Cheshire grin.I was looking at the forest when a small face popped up in the window.

      I screamed and threw myself back.I landed on the hard wood floor on my bum.

    "Ow," I whined, glaring at Mike as he smirked opening the window.

      "Sorry, I told you I was coming from my apartment. "

      I opened my arms,"I'll forgive you if you pick me up and cuddle with me.Alex wants to cuddle. "

      He scoffed, "Well, Mike doesn't. C'mon, "

    He pulled me up.I pouted,"But-"

    He smiled and hugged me."Just kidding, Bear." I smiled.Mike was a twelve year old orphan who was getting adopted with me.Mike and I have known each other since he was in diapers. His parents died in some kind of animal attack. I was five when he came. He would come into my room when he was scared, nervous, or mad.

     Pretty much all the time.Me and him are like siblings.He's a jerk to everyone but me, it makes me feel special. He's a cutie, with his blue eyes and black hair.

      "I just finished packing, what do you want to do?" I asked him.He was clinging to me, as we sat on the sofa.

     He shrugged then his eyes lit up."The Howling.Did you hear it? Oh my, Wolves. Its Wolves. I'm telling you Mar, it's wolves. "

    I shook my head,"How could I not hear it? It's not wolves. Its werewolves.There are no wolves here."

   I have a strong belief in Lycans or werewolves, whatever.I have read all the Percy Jackson books and many werewolf novels, I should know.I think it would make sense but whatever.

   He rolled his eyes, "What pictures did you take today?"

     I am a bit of a photographer, merely an amateur, but yes.I took out my newest camera that I bought with my job money.I worked in a small cafe owned by a nice lady in her sixties.

     I showed Mike the pictures of the forest. We spent the night talking and listening to music and cuddling, soon enough we fell asleep.

     º•º

    "I'm gonna break your little heart
    Watch you take the fall
    Laughing all the way to the hospital
   'Cause there's nothing surgery cant do-"

          I groaned slamming my hand on the alarm clock.I sighed
and shook Mike awake.

       "MIKE!"I yelled.He shot up and fell off the bed.I laughed hysterically.He glared at me and pulled my foot to stand up.I fell off the bed and landed on him.I laughed a villain laugh and stood up.I pulled him up with me and patted his head, "Sorry,"

      He glared at me but it was hard to take him seriously with his pink underwear. I smiled at him,"You are too cute! Let's go get ready." I kissed his red cheek and pushed him to the door.

     "Bye, Lex." I glared at him, he knows I hate nicknames.I rolled my eyes and shut the door in his face.I went to the bathroom to change.

     I shoved on my big black sweater and braided my hair.I didn't care much for first impressions, and I hate makeup. I was wearing my sweats anyway.

    I stared into the mirror and sighed.I'm such a freak. When I was small, the orphanage was having a party and me and someone else went to get something and we got into a car crash, my ribs had been broken, my foot was almost cut clean off, I have many scars on my arms, and I was somehow hit on my right eye and it's under developed so while one eye got a new cap my left eye, my other eye stayed the same.

     So, now I have one yellow-green eye, and a normal green eye.Its weird, I know.When I was fifteen, I got neon blue highlights. It looks awesome on my black hair.I have really pale skin, probably because this town is always cloudy.

      I smiled at my reflection and walked into my room, I pulled my bag from under my bed and left the room. I walked down the stairs and I saw Mike talking to a man.He was handsome, around his twenties. He had nice blonde hair, and bright blue eyes, and he was super tall.

      I walked in front of him and shook his hand, "My name is Alexei Mar,"

      He pulled me into a hug and said,"I'm Will, your new father." I smiled and hugged him tighter then let go. A short guy walked behind him and wrapped his arms around his waist. He had black hair and onyx eyes.

      My eyes widened in realization, "You're gay?!" They seemed scared, but nodded. I smiled my crazy smile, seeing this Mike groaned rolling his eyes.

     I pumped my fist, "Yes! Yes! YEA!!" I hugged them all and laughed.

     "I love you already!" They smiled at me. So, these are parents.Huh.I smiled again.

      He smiled and hugged me
