CH.1
Rhydian's POV.
It's been almost 1 year since I've last seen Maddy Smith. Her and her family were driven out by Dr Whitewood. There hasn't been a day that has gone by that I haven't thought about her. I miss the way she would scrunch up her nose whenever she got mad at me, only to show me her wolfish grin later. Memories are all i have left of her.
I remember my promise to her when she left, that I would find her when I'm older. I attend to keep that promise, but maybe even sooner. My heart is shattered and empty without Maddy in my life. Tom and Shannon are worried about me, ever day I get farther and farther away from them. I guess without Maddy my life is just dull. At first Tom and Shannon saw how depressed I was and invited me to their Friday rituals of popcorn and movies. We stayed over at Shannon's house and would watch all my favorite Horror flicks, but nothing cheered me up. Eventually I got up and told them I didn't feel well. Obviously they could tell I was lying, but at this point I couldn't care less.
I walked out the front door and ran into the woods. Everywhere I went I thought of her. Our tree we would sit out by after school, our runs through the streams, and the day Maddy had math exams and was about ready to wolf out in front of everybody. While deep in though, somehow I ended up at Me and Maddy's Tree. I could still smell her scent etched into the trunk from long ago. I went to sit down and slid down the base of the tree. Then what seems like impossible, I cried. Me, Rhydian Morris crying. Maddy's Departure was to much to bare, for what seems like hours I sat near our tree and wept silently. Finally after a while I decided I had to see her. I bent down in the grass and tried to use eolas.
There! I saw her! I saw a glimpse of Maddy sadly laying across a boulder, while i saw other WolfBloods playing in the background. She wasn't crying but looked on the verge to. Maddy was sorta staring of into the distance which was odd for her. I wondered what she was staring at? Then I saw it. Out into the distance was an Oak tree identical to the one here in Stoney bridge. Even with the same thick branch that extended over like an awning. "hmm" I though to myself, "that is a little creepy that it's almost identical to the one I'm under right now.".
Then a girl with long tangled red hair bounced over to Maddy. I recognized her immediately as Jana, Ulriks daughter. "Maddy", She said slightly angry "Why are you not enjoying yourself with the pack? Samson just brought us back a buck." Jana said with a frown. "I don't feel like it right now" Maddy replied. For some reason Maddy said this with little attention and Jana noticed this. "Come on maddy, ever since you left you've been acting all depressed and stuff! You need to forget about Rhydian, you're with your pack now-" At the mention of my name, Maddy jumped up and cut Jana off. "YOU KNOW NOTHING OF ME AND RHYDIAN! I LEFT MY FRIENDS AND EVERYTHING I KNOW AND LOVE FOR THIS!" Maddy exploded suddenly. Her temper sure has shortened. Right then Jana's eyes turned yellow and her veins starting to turn black. Maddy copied Jana and her eyes lit up with a fierceness to them. Well this won't end well. "Ever since you left you can't forget about that stupid human world!" Jana spat, "Maybe you are just a stupid tame" At this Maddy veins went completely black and in an instant turned into a wolf. Maddy then started attacking the female Alpha. In a moment there were three more wolves circling Maddy. Then right when they were about to pounce, Maddy turned and sprinted into the woods.
Crap! I tuned out of eolos and sprinted back to my house, I sprinted into my room and was preparing to help Maddy. I needed to get to her. What would happen if Ulrik gets to her? Oh Maddy, what have you gotten yourself into?
