Chapter One
"Alright class." The English teacher at Banes Town High school called out. "This weekend's group essay will be about interesting stories of the town's history" The large group of students went quiet for a little while to write down the information on a piece of paper somewhere.
"You may only be in groups of three and the essay is due Monday. It must be three pages or more." Everyone groaned in disgust. "And" the teacher continued "whoever creates the best essay is awarded 25 extra credit a piece." With that being said, everyone was satisfied and went back to their usual chatter.
"So" a girl named Amy started "what are we going to do ours about?" Katy and Alana just shrugged, and for a while they all sat in silence thinking about a topic. Suddenly Alana spoke up. "How about we do ours on the story of the werewolf in the woods?" "Yea but that's fictional." Katy replied. "She didn't say it had to be non-fictional either." Amy answered both of them "I say we do it".
So the next day the three girls decided to head into the woods and see for themselves if there was any evidence of any person even living there. Katy stood at the end of the woods and looked at the other two. "I'm not so sure about this." She swallowed hard as she stared through the trees. "Oh come on, it's just a walk through the woods. You seriously don't think there's a werewolf in here do you?" Amy rolled her eyes impatiently. "Let's just go in and get it over with".
Amy walked ahead into the woods continuing on. Why did Katy have to ruin the fun for everyone all the time? After she calmed down, she noticed the other two had been very quiet the whole time. "You know you guys could say something right?"She turned around to see how far they were behind her, when she didn't see anyone at all. "You guys?" She called out, suddenly feeling very scared. "Where are you?" A surge of anger rushed through her all at once when she realized what had happened. "KATY!" she screamed. Why did she do this to her? Whenever she got out of these woods she swore she was going to have quite a few things to say to her. Suddenly she seen something large and black move out of the corner of her eye. She turned her head sharply, her heart beating quickly. Was that a wolf? She seen it again out of the other eye and jerked her head the other way. What was that? What was going on? She started to feel a prickling sensation on the back of her neck, and very slowly she started to turn around, and what she saw when she turned almost made her scream.
A boy about her age stood in front of her, wearing ripped clothes and cuts on his body. His hair was a mess, shaggy and dirty and his brown eyes shone with an un-natural glare. "What are you doing here?" He growled. "I...I…I'm trying to do a report for sch-school." She stuttered under his piercing glare. "You need to get out of here." He muttered. "You're not safe here". "But I need to do this report for school." She persisted "you wouldn't happen to know anything about the legend of the werewolf would you?" Some unknown emotion flickered in his eyes. "You're trying to learn about the legend of the werewolf at school?" She nodded "yea do you know anything about it?" "I do. But if I tell you, you cannot leave." "I can't….leave?" And in front of her eyes, he transformed into a wolf.
She couldn't move her body as if she were rooted to the ground. Then the feeling in her legs came back and she turned to run. She sprinted as hard as she could. Then she felt her leg being pulled back and she fell face first into the ground and blacked out.
