Chapter 1: Change

Maya's POV

"Maya! Come on! You are going to be late for school!" my mom called from downstairs.

I weakly walked down and said "Momma I don't feel very good." To be honest I felt like I was about to rip out of my skin. She felt my forehead and said "Maya go back to your room and lie down; I'll be up there in a minute."

I nodded and went back upstairs carefully; every step I took was filled with pain. I faintly heard my mom call "Jacob!" then I blacked out.

Anna's POV

My baby girl was becoming a werewolf and I couldn't find her father. I turned around just in time to see Maya fall to the ground ran to her and carried her upstairs to her room.

"What is wrong with Maya, mom?" my son asked

"Sam your sister is sick; can you walk to school today?" I asked my eleven year old son.

"Sure, mom" he replied shouldering his backpack.

I laid Maya on her bed and stoked her hair. This was the easy part soon the actual transformation would happen, Jacob better get back soon.

Maya's POV

I felt like I had the flu, but ten times worse. I just wanted it to stop, I wanted to die! I felt the pain building up inside me. I concentrated on it and made it explode out of me. I sat up and I felt myself leave my body then I crashed back into it. I growled, wait did I just growl?

"What the hell is happening?!" someone asked inside my head.

"Who is this?" I asked

"What? Did you hear me?" the voice asked. It sounded a lot like Cade, my best friend.

"Cade is that you?" I asked

"Maya? What the hell is happening?" Cade asked

"I don't know, but something tells me that our parents know what is going on. I am big and hairy and I think my dad's nickname for me had a double meaning. Where are you?" I asked

"At home, my dad is trying to get me back into my human form." Cade said.

"I'll be there in a sec; we are going to get some answers!" I thought. I then concentrated on becoming human. I finally accomplished it and quickly got dressed.

"Maya where are you going?" Mom asked as I grabbed my coat.

"To Cade's house, he needs me.' I said flatly.

"Be careful and be back by curfew." Mom said. I nodded.

I ran to Cade's house, and knocked on the door. Clair, Cade's mom, answered the door. "Maya why are you here?" she asked

"I need to see Cade, I now that something is wrong and I need to see him." I said trying not to sound rude.

"Maya, come in, Cade is going to look like a…"

"A wolf? I know lets just say my morning has been very interesting." I interrupted.

Clair nodded and took me to his room; nothing could prepare me for what happened next.
