Set after 3 months of series 2
Maddy scampers through the clustered woods, yearning to see Rhydian's face again. To the feral wolfblood, three months without her alpha had been too long. Now is the day to change it.
Half an hour later, Maddy sniffs the bitter air, picking up Rhydian's rustic scent, that makes her heart skip twenty beats. Soon, Maddy Smith approaches the medium grotty school building. The wolf flows through her elasticated veins like tidal waves, acknowledging she has been in the wild for too long. But Maddy strides on.
(Meanwhile...)
Rhydian Morris sighs, his heart aching, wanting to see Maddy again. Maddy and Rhydian weren't big performers, so it was doleful for Rhydian to stand in the hall, feeling completely alone. The 3k's chatter to themselves, flaunting their looks towards Rhydian, hoping they attract the depressed wolfblood,who just wants his Maddy back. Suddenly, Rhydian's heart experiences the sleek intense impulses he cherishes every single day, smelling Maddy's pinewood scent. His wolf leaps for joy. Rhydian grins to himself, ecstatic that him and Maddy will be together once more.
"OI! LEEK BOY MOVE!" bellows Jimi, who thrusts Rhydian onto the grimy floor. Rhydian yelps, not realizing that Jimi staggered up to him. His wolf begins to erupt inside of him, but over the months he has managed to control it; for Maddy's sake and Mr Jeffries - when he does have that mental breakdown. With strained breathing, the wolf dies down ( not literally). But Jimi's fury expands.
"I said, leek boy move. We have chosen your part, you can be the floor." Jeers Jimi in an acid voice. He violently kicks Rhydian, hatred glistening in his eyes.
"Yep you suit the part." Badgers the bully, everyone bursts into laughter. (Miss Paris has gone to attend to Liam with a bleeding nose) Apart from two, who lurk in the quickly silence engulfs the room. Rhydian sniffs the air. Maddy's tranquil scent. Glee fills the wolfblood's heart. Jimi lunges back fearfully.
Rhydian cranks his head (still scrawled across the floor) to see Maddy Smith, growling,looking venomous with a arched back. Her face is covered in mud, and still wearing her crumpled t - shirt, though speckles of blood and splatters of mud smothers it. But no jumper, and her tattered tie is gone. Rhydian (and the rest of the miserable malicious class) also notice Maddy is bear footed, and her hair is drooping across her face, thin clumps grow in her rich brown chocolate hair. Maddy trots stealthily to face Jimi who oblivious to them apart from Rhydian (Shan and Tom) Maddy is in wolf mode.
"Oh look who's here. Rhydian's little pet." Insults Jimi. Rhydian snarls slightly, anger nestling in his stomach for Jimi calling Maddy his pet, even though she may be part wolf. Maddy gnarls, deeply vexed.
Swiftly Maddy bolts towards Jimi, she springs off the cold ground, jumping over Rhydian, her skull gently skinning the decrepit roof ( well the head master is one thousand two hundred and seventy nine!), Jimi lets out a mangled scream, before the wild wolfblood lands on his muscular shoulder, they both topple to the ground with a loud THUMP. Frantically, Rhydian darts towards Maddy, who is clawing Jimi, the wolf pulses through her vein, Jimi squawks like a crow. As the drama class all gather together, watching the fight break out. Rapidly, Rhydian hauls Maddy off Jimi with some effort. Clasping her strong shoulders, he hurriedly escorts Maddy out of the way. (towards the end of the room), as the class still linger near the popular idiot (Jimi..).
Rhydian places Maddy on the acting mats,and she curls up in a ball, her breathing fluctuating, as she fails to steady herself. Rhydian kneels beside her.
"Mad's remember when I couldn't control my wolf, and you said to think of lying in a meadow, I must admit it is it worked." Murmurs Rhydian. Maddy relaxes, hearing Rhydian's voice. Maddy's head perks up and she smiles, overjoyed.
"It did work, and when are my ideas lame?" Questions Maddy,innocently.
"When you try to have a fight with Jimi in front of the whole class." Utters Rhydian.
"But he was insulting you! Coming back, it's just different." Mutters Maddy. A shiver crawls down her spine. Rhydian Morris nods, comprehending. The wolfblood's stand, gaining pins and needle as a result. Rhydian stares into Maddy's glossy eyes, feeling her love.
"Mad's I'm glad your'e back." But the wolfblood (Maddy) doesn't have time to reply, instead the bell jingles vigorously, causing Maddy to jump. Rhydian starts to chuckle, resulting in a playful push. As they trot out the big classroom.
A few minutes later, Maddy and Rhydian walk down the cramped corridor. Questions buzzing in Rhydian's mind.
"Mad's, why did you come back?" Mumbles the boy.
"Because Rhydian, I want to come back... Because I want to help get rid of Whitewood, and live my life normally, Mam and Dad are still in the wild, they let me go - to prove that I can sort this mess out." Reasons Maddy, with such determination, it makes Rhydian simpers. Rhydian slips his clammy hand into Maddy's cool one, not wanting to let go.
"So, where are Shan and Tom?" Maddy asks, wanting to know where her mundane friends are. Rhydian tenses, and glances at the floor nervously. Maddy halts her body to face Rhydian .Though still clenching his hand more than ever.
"Maddy, I don't know." Confesses Rhydian, a pained look showing on his face. Maddy frowns perplexed.
"Well, lets go and find them then."
"No Mad's. I'm not part of their pack any more." Adds Rhydian gruffly. Sadness echo's in Maddy's heart.
"What? Why?" Maddy looks in Rhydians eyes, baffled.
"Because, when you left, Shannon could not deal with the guilt, of. Of still having the wolf files on her laptop." Explains the wolfblood. Maddy growls.
"She deleted them though. I saw her click the button." She mutters, astounded.
"No! Maddy, she may of deleted them, but Shannon deleted them in the recycle bin, Shannon can access the files whenever she wants, I tried reasoning with them to delete the files, but Shannon and Tom wouldn't listen, they won't delete the files, because you weren't there and Shannon hated the idea of letting go off her life!" Yells Rhydian, gritting his teeth. Maddy shakes her head, betrayed, furious that they could even take advantage of Maddy no being there and not listening to her Alpha.
"So what do we do. We need those files, or it will be another problem on top of everything else!" Exclaims Maddy.
"Agreed. But lets just get through one day, instead of planning months, anyway I still owe you that date." Concurs Rhydian smiling broadly, Maddy laughs, and lets go of Rhydian's hand. Lunging in, Maddy pecks Rhydian on the flushed cheek passionately, before darting into their favorite place;the woods. A smile curls on Rhydian's lips, as he pursues Maddy, loving every second of it.
