Tori's POV
Today is a special day it's the last day before I start at my new school at Hollywood Arts. I went for a night run in the forest not far from my house to help settle the butterflies in my stomach. I am super nervous about this school. Will I make new friends easily? Will they like me? Just so much is freaking me out. I'll have my bigger sister there but that's not that much help she can be annoying at times.
I love going on runs in the night the way the cold ground feels on my paws. Yes, I said paws, I am a werewolf. It's a rare family curse that somehow I got stuck with. I am the only werewolf in the family I guess everything just lined up perfectly and I was born one. The curse can pass many generations sometimes and show up randomly the last werewolf in my family I know about is my great-grandpa. My mom would always tell me about these amazing stories of him that at the time I thought were just fairy tales. But when I turned fourteen I learned how real they are, that was the first time I turned.
Now before you ask I don't turn only on full moons I can turn anytime I want. My mom warns me though that if I don't turn for a long time the wolf in me will be itching to get out, but I'm not too worried because I love turning when I go on my night runs. I honestly cannot touch silver it burns like you wouldn't believe, and I have all the perks of a wolf while still being my normal Tori self, heightened sense of smell, amazing hearing, and am stronger than any human.
While on my run I went further down into the forest than I have ever been before just full on sprinting loving the way my muscles felt as I pushed them as far as the could go to run as fast as I can. I came to an immediate stop as I caught a whiff of the most amazing smell I've ever smelt in my life. It was a perfect mixture of Coffee and Vanilla. There was someone else out here I had to get home before they found me. I wanted to stay so bad to see who it was; I felt drawn to the person but had to get out of there.
When I made it to my back yard I changed back to my human form and grabbed the clothes my mom left out for me when I got back and changed. As I made it inside my house my mom was just about to head to bed.
"Hey Tori, How was your run?" She asked me
"I had to come back early I smelt someone on the path."
"They didn't see you did they, honey?"
"No…" I said as I thought to myself "but it was the weirdest thing I knew I had to get out of there quick but it was hard to concentrate and no matter how hard I wanted to run away it felt like the wolf wanted to stay"
"That's good honey, now go get some sleep you got a busy day tomorrow" she said as she made her way up the stairs to her room.
"Night mom!" I yelled as she made her way up the stairs. I soon followed and made my way to my room and collapsed on my bed. 'who was that tonight' I thought to myself as I fell asleep
