I was badly shaking by the time I transformed back into me. I couldn't stop myself from shaking. And to add to all the horror I started sobbing horribly loud and violently. I wasn't used to being so weak, so vulnerable. I just had to face the truth. I was a werewolf. I couldn't believe my self. What is this insanity? I just shuffled to my window chair and stared out. I stayed that way and watched the sun disappear and the moon appear than the moon disappear and the sun reappear again. I could see every detail of the outside. How I longed to go running fre- WHAT THE HELL. Since when did I LONG to run frigging freely? I heard a knock on the door at about four thirty a.m. I didn't say anything. I just... couldn't. My mom walked in and gasped. "Scarlet, where are your clothes? You're going o catch a cold, baby. Have.. Have you been awake all night? I couldn't do anything. I didn't even turn around to look at my own mother. At that moment she disgusted me. I knew that she didn't do anything wrong. I doubt she knew anything about this and even if she did I doubt she could've stopped it. " Sca- Scarlet. Are- are you okay. Come on baby. Talk to me." my mom said in q shaky voice, letting out a sob at the end. How could she have the nerve to cry? Wait no, I'm causing this. " I'm- I don't think I can go to school today mom. Don't cry." I croaked with a sigh at the end. My mother nodded her head vigorously and went to get me a robe. When she put it on me, I leaned back into the wall of the window chair and closed my eyes for a little. I'll be downstairs I you need me, okay baby?" she said softly pulling a strand of hair that I didn't notice out of my face. I just barely was able to nod. I listened to her walking away and surprisingly heard her walking all the way downstairs and even heard her fall down on the... Couch? I heard it creak from her weight not that she is fat but the couch is sort of old. I even heard her let out a sob as if I was right there next to her. I guess with wolf shifting comes enhanced vision and hearing. I let it go and let her have her own privacy because I was sure that she would never ever want me to know that she cried even though she does it a lot, thinking that I didn't hear her. So I just sat down and watched the sun disappear and the moon appear again. I was only interrupted by mom leaving food next to me that I hadn't touched. I just looked outside and kept on watching. I would sometimes just listen to my mom doing things. At one a.m. I heard her toss and turn than she got up and went to her window where the home phone was. She took it and grabbed her phone book and called someone. She was whispering so I had to actually try this time to hear her. "Billy, help me. I..I... I don't know what I did. I must've messed up big time for her to do this... She's not eating and she's just sitting on her window chair. She didn't go to school or sleep for two days. And when I found her like that yesterday, she looked disgusted at me and you could hear it in her voice as she spoke to me through gritted teeth. It was as if she was controlling herself from jumping up and clawing my eyes out. Oh please help me, Billy... Yes she has a best friend... Are you sure?... Thank you Billy. Thank you so much... Yes, yes I will. Bye." she said in-between sobs and everything. I didn't even register anything that I heard. It came into one ear and flew out the other. The only thing that I registered was how she described me acting towards her. I truly am a monster, aren't I? Oh, well. When the sun rose completely and it was about 7 a.m. My mom walked in wearing a ladies suit for work. "Hey, baby. Are you feeling okay? Do you feel like going to school today?" I just shook my head. She nodded and tears started threatening to spill onto her cheeks. I felt bad for making her cry but I was in no mood to be nice. Well not in the least actually. " I can call someone to stay with you if you'd like, or I can stay?" I just stared out of the window not wanting to answer her because I knew either way she'd start crying again. So I stared at the window my back towards her for a long time, about ten minutes. So I didn't even pay attention if she left or didn't but by the end of the ten minutes I had registered it in my mind that she left, because she couldn't have stood there for ten minutes straight without moving or making noise because my mom was really clumsy, no offense mom. So at the end of the ten minutes I turned around to look at my alarm clock. I was surprised to look straight into a grey jacket. I looked up into my moms grimacing face. Tears outlined her shirts cuff and her face was overflowing with nonstop tears. Her mascara and eyeliner was smudged all over her eyes. She honestly looked terrible. I looked straight into her red and puffy eyes that were crying nonstop and had the sudden urge to just hug her and comfort her. She never wanted this for me, so I cant chanel my bitterness to her. She doesn't deserve that much. Hell, she didn't deserve all the untold bad things from her past. This probably reminded her of them. I slowly stood up and just stood there for exactly ten seconds straight, then I attacked her in a tight hug. "Mo-mom. I- I'm sooo sorry. I didn't mean to m-make you cry." I said, only realizing that I was sobbing at the end. My mom hugged me back with even more force and sobbed loudly into my shoulder. "B-but things are going to be different now. I- I- something came up, so I have to do things differently. Just trust me. Can you trust me, mom?" I said, pulling away slightly so I could look straight into her eyes. My mom stopped sobbing but tears still kept falling uncontrollably and I guess my eyes did that too. She lifted her hands to flatten my hair and take my face in her hands then she put her hands on my shoulder and said, "Yes, Scarlet Jennifer Johnson. I trust you with my whole life, and I know you'll make the right decision." In a confident voice and a smile. We hugged each other and smiled back like idiots. "So are you going to school, or- you don't have to if you don't think it's good at the moment." My mom, the one that flusters over education, said. I took a deep breath but shook my head. "Not yet. But when I'm ready, I'll go back. I promise." We hugged one last time until my mom said that she was late and she had to change her clothes. "I bet I look like a buffoon right now. And trust me you don't look any better. Go take a shower." She said when I laughed at her. I tried to look mad at her but I was too happy to. When she finally left to work and I finished my shower and stuff, I went outside and drove my red CR-Z Honda to the natural forest that was on the outskirts of Rhode Island. It was about ten miles away but I just had a strong urge to go there. When I got there, I jumped out of my car and ran into the wilderness. As soon as I hit the ground I transformed. It felt amazing, way better than the first time. I looked at my blazing orange paws. I went to a lake on all four legs and saw my reflection. I honestly thought my reflection was beautiful. I looked like a blazing ball of orange fire. I looked like the sun, to tell you the truth. I ran and ran and ran until I reached the edge of Rhode Island as a whole and was meant by the ocean than cornered the edge of the U.S.A. I quickly changed back and jumped into the water. This could be a good experience. When I got into the water, I realized I was naked. "humph, I'll need to work something out for this, because I can't go around naked." I said out loud to the little fish surrounding me. I got out and transformed and ran back to my car. If anyone could've even caught a glimpse of me they'd think I was a meteor on earth, or maybe a fire ball thrown across the forest. They wouldn't be able to distinguish me as a wolf. Yah, I was that fast! So when I could sense my car was near I had to stop because there was a clearing and something was… glittering… like a twenty carrot diamond. I headed towards it and saw a glittery human standing in the middle of the forest. He was facing someone and I could sense it was a human, like him. wait, what was that smell? It smelled like a donut with way too much sugar piled on top. At that moment it registered in my mind that if there are wolves than there must be….. vampires. That scared the crap out of me, but when the bloodsucker turned around and looked straight at me, all my fears vanished and I knew what I was destined to do. I stared into his scarlet eyes, no pun intended. "Oh, I didn't know that this place was taken." The bloodsucker said with an evil smile. "Well it is!" I tried to say but it came out as a bark. He seemed to understand because his smile turned into a smirk of disgust and anger. And then in a second he was gone. I followed his scent the second I realized that he was gone and ran after him. After a second of running I could see him in my peripheral vision. I ran and ran until, BAM! I caught his arm in my mouth and pulled it out. He seemed bewildered that I was even there, but I didn't waste a second attacking the rest of his body. After he was torn into shreds I transformed back and got wood and started rubbing it with a rock. After a few seconds there was a big spark, that lit the wood on fire I put it on the pile of body parts and watched as it turned into ash and the wind blew it all into separate directions. The wind put the fire out all by itself. So I jogged to my car and opened the trunk to get my extra sundress and underwear and stuff like that. I went behind a tree and got dressed. I was wearing my orange sundress that complimented my honey blonde waves. I opened my cars windows so the cold air could float in, but surprisingly I didn't get as cold as I used to. I guess the warmth came with the transformation. I could get used to this. So when I got back home I climbed in through the window just because I could. Did I mention it was a three story window? But don't worry there was a tree I could climb up, not that I needed it. So I climbed in through my open window and heard a soft beep that came from my pillow. I walked towards it and found my cell phone under it beeping crazily. I opened it and it said '56 new text messages.' I sighed and shook my head then there was another beep. '57 new text messages.' I opened them and read them from the beginning they were all from Blake and Rose, but mostly Blake. Blake is my bestest friend ever since I was born. He was two years old when I was born so we would hang out all the time because our mom's used to be and still are best friends. Rose was a new edition to our group. She moved to Rhode Island from Texas two years ago. Blake and his mother moved here when my mom got pregnant. Blake's mother and mines were best friends ever since birth. Both of our mothers are single mothers. I never knew my father and Blake's mother and father got divorced when he was only a year old. He visits his father every summer in La Push, Washington. Rose had both parents, so she was the only one. Blake's mother, Sara, works with my mother, Gabrielle (Gaby)at a lawyer firm. But Blake's father, Joshua, is a doctor in La Push. Okay back to the text messages. The first fifty were mostly where are you's and are you feeling okay's? but then text message number 51 says, 'Scarlet I'm coming over right now! Blake.' Then 'Scarlet I'm almost there. Blake.' Then 'Scarlet open the door.' And that one was five minutes ago. 'come on. I no ur in there. ' that was three minutes ago. 'Open up Scarlet.' Then ' if you don't open up in four seconds I'm going to break down the door.' 'ONE' 'TWO' 'THREE' 'FOUR, open up if you want to keep your door intact! ' that one was only a minute ago. Beep! 'That's it. I'm coming in! ;|' UH-OH was all I could think. I heard a big bang from downstairs. Then another and another. I ran down the two flights of stairs as quick as I can, which was helped with my wolf speed. I ran to the door as there was a big bang that shook dangerously. I quickly opened the door to see him running straight at me and he couldn't stop. His face turned from seething semi controlled anger to wide eyed disbelief. BANG! He ran straight into me and we both fell back onto the floor, him on top of me. "Can't- breathe!" I said from under him over exaggerating. He just picked himself up onto his arms but he was still on top of me. just not squishing me anymore. He looked into my eyes and scanned my body and my face like he couldn't believe himself. Than he attacked me with a hug… STILL ON THE FRIGGIN FLOOR!:o I hugged him back and then heard him sniffing. "Blake! BLAKE! What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you crying?" I yelled, visibly freaking out and choking from lack of air. He quickly jumped up and pulled me up with him and crushed me into another hug. He was a huge dude, okay. He made me fell puny. So when he hugged me I felt like a bug being squished by a wolf. He had the perfect features. Blonde hair that is turned up at the top, so it looks sort of spiky. His hair was a honey blonde-ish kind of blonde. His skin was tanned just a bit darker than mine. We both had high and sharp cheek bones that were the main features of our faces. My eyes were a dark but bright blue, like a sapphire. His eyes were like emeralds. "Dammit Scar( scar is my nickname). Your burning up. Where have you been? What have you been doing?"he asked putting both of his hands on my face like my mom did that very morning. I trusted Blake with my life, so I was going to tell him everything. Everything means EVERYTHING!
