Alex's POV

"Kayla, we need to leave. I don't want to have to drag you home. And just because we didn't bring our phones." I complained. We were at this party for New Years, and well let's just say it's 2 in the morning and I want to get home. It's Saturday night and not to mention it's new years eve which is also Kayla's birthday.

"Okay! I give up, we'll go." Kayla sighed. Her reddish brownish hair falling into her face masking her golden brown eyes. I rolled my sapphire eyes in irritation while grabbing my wallet and coat. "What!" she exclaimed.

"You are impossible." I stressed, I grabbed her stuff and pushed it into her arms. She sighed and followed me out into the night.

The sky rumbled, threatening that the rain was coming. We started to walk faster, and then the sky broke out in bright lightning and loud thunder. The rain poured down and drenched us to the skin. Then, just for a moment, the moon broke through the clouds and a tall animal-like figure ran past and stopped in front of us. It's silver fur turning white in the moonlight. I finally figured out that animal was a wolf.

"What the heck is that?" Kayla whispered, and I just stood there, mesmerized. It seemed like it was beckoning us to go with him.

"Do you want us to follow you?" I asked, feeling completely insane for talking like the wolf was a person.

The silver wolf nodded his large head and walked away. We walked slowly at first, but then it started to walk faster and soon we were jogging at a fast pace. Then we were coming up to some woods, the wolf just strode in and expected us to follow him into the dark woods. We continued to jog while dodging roots, and trees. We were starting to get chilled from lack of warmth and wet clothes.

"Can we go back, I am so cold." Kayla whimpered, I widened my eyes, normally she never complains like this. What was making her act like this?

"Our best bet is to follow this thing and hopefully we will get warm." I said, not wanting to admit that we might be lost and having to spend the night in the cold Washington forest. Then the forest thinned out and we slowed into a giant clearing, where the wolf was stopping towards the middle of the clearing. I turned around in awe, not knowing how Kayla was feeling.

Kayla's POV

The first thing I noticed was the giant pond in the middle of the clearing. The wolf was standing in front of the pond, and we slowly approached it. Then this mysterious mist started to rise from the pond, and before I knew it Alex was out cold laying on the ground.

"What did you do to her?" I screamed at the wolf.

I turned to Alex and started poking her with a large stick I found on the ground.

"Alex… are you alive…" I started to question but then everything went black and I fell to the ground by Alex.

When I woke up in the morning Alex wasn't there. 'I wonder where she is.' I thought.

'I'm over here' I heard her voice in my mind and thought I was going crazy.

I looked around and by the pond I noticed a 6 foot tall black and gray wolf staring at me with it's crystal blue eyes.

I tried to stand up on two legs but immediately fell back down on to all four legs. that's strange I thought. Ok I guess I'll just have to walk on all for legs like a dog. Slowly I made my way over to the pond.

I really need a drink, I thought. I bent over to get a drink when I saw that my refection in the water wasn't me at all, but a big white and blue wolf with piercing red eyes. I screamed but it came out as a howl.

'What's wrong with me?'

'We were somehow turned into wolves' I heard Alex's voice in my mind again.

I turned to the big black wolf and stared trying to figure out if it was Alex or not. 'yes it's me' she spoke in my mind. 'I can hear any of your thoughts that you want me to hear, any others thoughts will just remain unheard to me. It's sort of like talking mentally.'

'wow' was all I could say'

Then the silver wolf emerged from the woods 'your parents were once the leaders of our tribe, now that you two are of age it was time for you to return to your true form.'

'Wait…' I said 'Alex and I are sisters?'

'Yes' he spoke mentally 'the day after you, Kayla were born your parents went to fight in a battle. That night they were killed. You two are the heirs to your parents kingdom but we had to keep you safe so we decided it was best to turn you into humans and keep you safe until you were both 16 in human years isn't it true that your birthday was yesterday on new years day?'

'Yes' I replied 'one question though how did you turn us into humans?'

'Those necklaces that you have, the hearts as long as you wear them you can control your transformations, without them you will be stuck as a wolf. They were designed to let your choose your form once you turned 16.'

'Wow' Alex said 'I can't believe that this is really happening'

'Me either' I said

' That big castle over there belongs to you.' The silver wolf motioned his head towards the big stone castle

'Wow' Alex and I said together.

'This area that you are in now is home to the werewolves, it's magical borders keep us safe from vampires and any other mythical creature that may want to harm us.'

'So do we just stay here from now on?' Alex asked

'no it is best that you continue going to school and getting a good education, you should continue living with you parents and try to come here as often as you can.'

'We will' I promised.

I thought about myself in my human form and soon I was again a human. Alex did the same. I looked in the water one last time and saw that my hair was white with blue tips and my eyes were red. Alex looked pretty much the same except that her hair was black with gray tips and her eyes were now crystal blue.

"Well this isn't noticeable at all" I said sarcastically. It was kind of nice to be able to speak out loud again.

"We'll just say that we dyed our hair and got contacts." Alex suggested.

I simply nodded and we walked home so we could get some rest before we had to go to school tomorrow.
