DISCLAIMER: I don't own Wolf Childen. I only own my (currently) nameless OC. Enjoy ^^

I don't know what to do anymore, I'm being called in two directions and now I have to pick one or the other. It all started with that damned school.

"Ame. Please go to school, at least this once," my mother begs me. Sinking to the ground in order to match my height, that of a human childs.

But I'm not a child.

And I'm hardly human.

I look past her, toward the forest, where Sensei waits for me; the same place where the leaves whisper as they fall to the moss at the base of the trees inhabiting the area. Where the animals wait for my guidance deeming me next fit to lead. A prince needed by those he is to lead.

My mother shakes my shoulders slightly, and my attention is no longer fully focused on the forest.

"Ame, for me."

I no longer find a will to outright ignore her anymore, and I can't say no.

"Okay."

She gives me a smile, the one she always uses, and heads to the car.

"I'll drive you there before I go to work."

I'm stuck in this Godforsaken room, bord out of my mind, thinking of nothing except what I could be doing in the forest with Sensei. Would we be hunting or foraging today? Would we observe the animals of the forest? Maybe we would simply work on endurance.

Whatever it was that was planned for today was definitely better then sitting in this chamber away from nature, surrounded by these warm bodies.

I continuously stare out the window in the back of the class, wishing more than anything to shave away this fake skin to be the wolf that I am. How does Yuki sit through this all day? Does she not feel an urge to change as I do?

I remember what Sensei told me.

"She is no wolf."

Sensei is never wrong, but I feel this may be a first. She's probably distracted, that's all.

I am finally dismissed along with the rest of the school, however I linger behind in order to avoid the enclosing mass of bodies squeezing through the doors of the building.

They all move so achingly slow that I begin to feel the itch to rip off my skin and tear through the crowd, racing to the glorious forest.

I bite my lip, gripping my arms tightly in order to control myself. My sights settle in the window and I move toward it in order to open it and make an escape before anyone starts asking questions.

Before I know it my fangs have popped from my gums and my lips are bleeding as I try to pry open the window.

It doesn't move and I let out a rare growl of annoyance.

The window is so swiftly opened in a matter of seconds I hardly realize what had happened until I see a girl standing beside me.

She stares at me.

"Thanks," is all that's said before I jump out the window, spriting to the woods and changing as soon as I'm at the edge, out of sight of the humans in the area.

I thought of turning back, just to get a glimpse of the girl that helped me, but I didn't really have a reason to.
