I started my way down the hallways of my new school, the bright orange and black lockers reminding me of Halloween. It was hard starting out at a new place but I was happy to get away from my old home, where things I really didn't want to remember had happened. I will never forget him but I needed to forgive myself. I just entered the first class of the day when a girl with blonde hair and a curvy body came over.

"Hey, I'm Jessica!" she cheerily introduced her self; I cringed away from her fake smile. I really hated kids like her.

"Hi." I responded politely pushing past her and going towards the teacher. I cleared my throat and his eyes turned away from the tests he was marking.

"You must be the infamous Isabella!" he nearly shouted drawing all the attention towards us. Great. Blushing furiously I hid behind my hair.

"Just Bella." I told him.

"Welcome Bella to physics! My name is Mr. Banner." he didn't seem to notice that I didn't like the attention and his voice just kept on rising. "Please take a seat beside Angela." A girl in the back of the room who didn't look like she particularly like being called on either raised her hand. I watched my feet until I got there unharmed and sat down. The next two classes passed by quickly and I found my self dreading lunch.

In the Cafeteria there was nowhere to hide; there was nothing I could do. Angela met up with me as I was walking to Lunch and asked if I wanted to sit with her. I would be forever in her debt for that. As I opened the door all the talking stopped and just like I expected everyone stared. The tell-tale blush already rising on my cheeks. Head down I began to walk towards the line to get my food. I lost my appetite so I just grabbed a bottle of water.

Angela grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the table where the guys were already focused on my body. I found it very degrading and quickly sat down so the table hid everything, almost. Their chatter filled the air around me but my mind was somewhere else, I was in the place that haunted my nightmares and I started to feel sick. I took a big gulp of my water. The bell rang interrupting my inner monologue.

English was my next class and I was very pleased that we would be starting off with my favourite book. Today was just reading and I was happy for the distraction to my own life. That's why I loved reading; no matter what went on outside the pages you were always safe once your eyes started to read the black words on the white pages.

I soon found my self walking towards my truck at the end of the day. I don't know why but I kept having flashbacks. Of course he was the center of them, all revolving around what had happened. Once I got home deciding to clear my head, I threw on some shorts and a top and ran out the door, deciding I would go in the forest. It served me right and I was soon caught up in the green on green and my rapid heartbeat. I was growing tired but I kept pushing myself. You need to keep going. I was completely enveloped in giving myself a pep talk when an audible snap was heard behind me. I immediately stopped running and turned to face whatever it was. My hair was standing up though, warning me about a threat.

"Is somebody there?" I questioned out into the open air trying to sound unafraid. Suddenly a figure grabbed me from behind and pulled my back flesh against there chest. I winced because of their strength and because they were freezing cold!

"You know it's bad to be running in the forest all alone?" The voice sent repulsive shivers up my spine and I struggled to get away. "I always did like a good fight, I'll give you a chance to get away, but I'll tell you now, no one ever has." He released me roughly, pushing me away from him. Stumbling I began to run again screaming frantically. My adrenaline urging me to go faster, I felt a pull to go west and I knew I should probably head back to the house but I wasn't thinking straight.

So I followed it, and the two greedy hands grabbed me and yanked me over there shoulder. We began to move at an unimaginable pace. I screamed the loudest I ever had. And thank god for that, four wolves appeared out of the forest and the man seemed to shake in fear.

"Unbelievable." He muttered. He stood shell shocked. I'm not sure what I was doing but I began talking to the wolves as if they could understand.

"Please, help me." I pleaded with them. They looked at me with eyes to acknowledgeable for an animal. The big black one nodded his head. I once again struggled to get away but nothing seemed to help. How was he so strong? But in one final attempt to leave with piece and without getting himself harmed. He dropped me and ran. The three wolves took off but a silvery one stayed behind, growling in the direction they ran off in clearly wanting to help. That's when he finally looked at me.

I never wanted to look away, the wolf had already captured my affection and I saw myself with a man and two kids all happily eating the dinner I had cooked. What's wrong with me? It's just a wolf. He slowly began his advance on me.

"I don't taste good." I told him scared that he was mad at me for making him miss out on the chase. He snorted which sounded an awful lot like laughing. He slowly lowered himself in front of me and sniffed, scrunching up his nose. With a new found mission he began rubbing me all over. I once read about this when Renee was going through her dog training stage. He was trying to mark me as his to all the other animals by putting his scent one me. I tried to move away but he growled so I let him continue his ministrations.

Once he was finished he plopped down on the ground and motioned with his head for me to join him. I curled up around him and started to drift off to sleep. My last thoughts were on how crazy I was to be laying with a wolf but strangely I knew he would never ever hurt me purposely.
