Chapter Two: Birthday Party

*********Three weeks later***************

"Are you both ready?" My mum yells at me and Jaze, I smile knowing it's nearly time for the party. Shit! I think while trying to find my dress.

"Hey bro you seen my purple dress?" I send him through our link.

"Yes it's down stairs want me to go get it for you?"  I smile, and look out of the window and see a bright blue sky. Today's going to be great I think to myself. Then I remember I have not replied to Jaze.

"yes please, thanks bro" I send back. I know he has just rolled his eyes but I hear him going to get it.I watch out as the birds fly, singing their joyful songs.

I'm pull back to the present when Jaze knocks on my door, I go to answer it then remember I'm naked. Quickly grabbing my towel i wrap myself up. "Come in" I shout.

"Wow your hair looks beautiful sis" He says while pulling me into a hug.

"Happy birthday sis" He whispers in my ear.

"You too bro" I say laughing.

He gently pulls on my towel "Time to put on your dress sis"He laughs. Rolling my eyes I shove him out of my room so I can get dressed. He can be strange sometimes, he doesn't know what the word privacy means.

Once in my dress I twirl round giggling. "Come on kids times up" My mum yells. I yell back that I'm ready and set off down stairs.

When I get to the living room I look around wow amazing! I think to myself. I stiffen when I hear the door open then close. Turing around I see Toby, he's my mums friend and he's sixteen, "Wow look at the birthday girl" He smiles.

"Thanks Toby" I giggle back, Jaze saves me by asking Toby questions. I zone out and watch the sun start to set, downing the world in shades of orange and red. I'm dropped back into the real world when Jay, Toby's best friend, hugs me.

"Happy birthday". He whispers in my ear as I try to twirl around.

"Thanks Jay" I say while staring into his deep green eyes. Shyly I step back, hoping he didn't notice. I've had a little crush on him ever since I met him, I know I'm only seven now but I still very much like him. My mum and dad step into the room and turn on the music A grown up party I think.

"You ready sis?" Jaze asks through our link.

"Yes why?" I reply wondering what he's up to.Just as I go to sit to the sofa he comes into the room dressed as a big wolf. Laughter bubbles up in me until I can't hold it.

Mum passes me a parcel just as my school friends appear, everyone immediately sits down. I pass the parcel and watch until the music stops, just as it stops my brother howls and I laugh even more "What are you doing Jaze?" I ask.

"Just adding fun"He replies laughing.I love how funny and loving he is, I couldn't have asked for a better twin. I laugh once more then have to pass the parcel, the music stops on me and I yelp and open my part. I look at the little wolf in my hand "Aww cute look it's a wolf" I say.

After the games me and Jaze open our presents most are clothes with wolves on it. My parents love wolves I think. All my life they have bought things with wolves on.

Food is layed out and everyone gets something to eat. The moon rises and I have an urge to howl, my mum looks at me weirdly but when she sees me looking she smiles.

The party start wines down and I yawn "Time for bed" Toby mocks with a smile,

"Yes I guess see you later, tell Jay I said bye" I reply. With another yawn I head up to my bedroom where there is a letter addressed to me.

I pick it up but it says do not open until ten days after your birthday I just stare in shock. Rolling my eyes I put it in my safe lock draw for later.

As I took off my dress a shiver takes hold of my body and a fever begins, huffing my discomfort I climb into my bed.

As soon as my head hits the pillow dreams take hold of my body. I dream that I'm running, I don't know what from but I know I need to get as much distance between me and whatever it is I'm running from.

I glance back, the moon is full and I howl. I feel my body start to change but I don't know whats going on. A man with a creepy smile stands next to me with a knife in his hand, the last thing about the dream is that I'm a wolf.

The man thrusts the knife down upon me but I dodge, thankfully my dream cuts off before I see what happened.
