(A/n-this takes place right after Merton gets stoned my Medusa. I saw that episode this morning (Sunday) and so I decided to write this. It's Cass's turn to narrate so the parts will probably come out quicker (I can't write Boy's POV's very fast, it's easier for me to write as a girl) Also I want to sorta explore those 'other powers' that Brother Ambrose was talking about (remember that episode?)

It was amazing. I must have the biggest tear ducts in the world. I'd been crying for three hours straight. I go away to Greece for one week. I come back, and everything is a mess. Merton turned to stone. And on top of that I find out that Tommy still had feelings for Lori the whole time we'd been dating, but that's not as important. They say I'm luck I wasn't there, or I might have been one of Medusa's targets too. I guess they're right.

"So how was Greece?" Lori tried to be cheerful that day at lunch.

"While I was over there learning about myths like Medusa, you people were over here fighting her." I said grumpily.

We all glanced at each other, then went back to poking at our food. I looked at Tommy and Lori. Perfect match I thought bitterly.

"Cass are you ok?" Lori asked me. I looked up scowling.

"I'm fine." I knew I sounded mean, but I couldn't help it. "Excuse me."

I threw my food in the garbage and left the cafeteria. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Tommy get up and follow me. I growled under my breath and made a turn for the girls bathroom. Inside I sat down on the couch scowling at the wall.

"Cass!: I heard a knock at the door.

I started to wonder what it took to get boys to understand when you didn't want to talk to them, but on one hand I did want to talk to him. So I probably wasn't giving him the best get-the-hell-away-from-me routine. He kept knocking at the door. I kept trying to under stand. I knew this, it was a love square. I liked Tommy, and Tommy like me back, but he also like Lori who liked Merton. Who knows who Merton liked. But it didn't matter now because Merton was probably dead and we didn't even know it. I mean how long could a person possibly survive being encased or fully stoned.

Almost immediately I felt the tears coming, and I let them. I tasted the salt of my tears on my tongue and cried even more. There was another knock on the door.

"C'mon Cass!" Tommy yelled. I wished I could just disappear. Disappear. In a strange way my wish started to come true. I started to shrink. It was a few seconds before I noticed, but when I did I screamed. Not loudly but enough to scare Tommy out side. Fur sprouted on my body, which was not unusual for me. I stopped shrinking and fell on all fours. I tried to scream again, but I had no voice. I looked in the mirror, what I saw totally freaked me out. I was turning into a complete wolf. It wasn't the transformation that I was used to; it was something totally different.

"Are you ok?" Tommy sounded truly worried. By this time the transformation was complete. I was wolf. A medium sized gray one. I tried to look in the mirror again, but I found that I was too short. Embarrassing really. My acute wolf ears heard the door knob click. Tommy was taking the ultimate risk. He was entering a girls bathroom. He jumped when he saw me. I don't think he knew it was me.

"Oh my god." He muttered. "Cass?"

I nodded my wolf head.

"Oh my god!" he said again. "How did…what did…who did…"

I whimpered a little, and he bent down to pet me. I was truly scared. I had absolutely no idea how to turn human again.

"Cass what happened?" he asked. I just whimpered again, trying to turn back to human. It didn't work.

"We gotta get you outa here." He moaned. I walked over to the door, gesturing for him to open it. He did and I poked my head cautiously into the hallway. The coast was clear. I walked out towards the side door. Tommy followed me muttering to himself.
