----

Chapter 1 : The beginning of a new life.

"Come on Flitch, let's go !" said a fourteen year Virgil Grissom Tracy to his best friend James Flitcher.

"Coming." said Flitcher. Everyone who knew James Flitcher called him Flitch, Flitcher or Flitchman. The bullies even had gave him a nickname, Fish.

Flitcher was eleven when he met his best friend, Virgil. He didn't care that his best friend was the son of a billionaire, Virgil just was like him. Classed as a nerd. But then a nerd with money. Virgil wasn't like his brothers at all. They where all popular. Scott because he was the jock of the family, John because he looked cute when the girls look at him, Gordon because of his practical jokes and his swimming and well Alan… He was cute because he still was a little kid.

Virgil stood there waiting for his friend to come. They where going to a cool party that was in the woods. Virgil had to whine to be allowed to go to the party. After whining so long, Jeff had said yes to it.

Virgil and Flitcher went with their bikes to the party. "I just can't wait when we get there…" said Flitcher.

"Yeah," smiled Virgil happy.

After a while they reached the house where the party was. "Wow…"said Flitcher amazed. "Do you think it's bigger then your house on the island ?"

After Virgil's mom died, Virgil's dad had stayed in Kansas for a few years. When Virgil was ten years old, he had moved with his family to their own island that was called 'Tracy Island'.

Virgil grinned at his friend. "Come on." he said and walked with his friend to the house.

"Hey Fred." said Virgil when he saw the person who organized the party. He had red hair like his brother Gordon and was around the sixteen years old. They knew Fred from the computer class they had with the kids from a year higher. Fred was a person who was Popular, but also a nerd person when it came to computers.

"Yo Tracy, Flicthman," said Fred with a smile. "Nice to see you on my party."

"Yeah, thanks to invite us, Fred." said Flitcher. "Are there already some chicks around here ?"

"Sure thing, Flitchman." said Fred. "Just look around and you find every girl from school you like."

"Awesome !" said Flitcher happy and went looking for some girls.

"Hey Virge," said Fred when Flitcher was gone and turned to Virgil.

Virgil looked up at Fred. "Yeah ?"

"There's someone for you here." said Fred with a smile. Virgil looked confused at and looked at the sofa when Fred had pointed to it.

On the sofa was a girl sitting alone. Virgil stared at her when he saw her. It was the girl Virgil always looked at when she placed their table when their eating in school. She always would smile at him when he looked at her while she wasn't paying attention to her friend when their where talking to each other. Virgil always would melt when she smiled or even winked at him. She had that fine blond hair that would shine in the sun when it was a sunny day.

"Amanda…" said Virgil on a half whispering / talking voice.

Fred smiled and pushed Virgil a bit to let him go to the sofa. Virgil looked at Fred who just smiled back and nodded to him to just go.

Virgil swallowed and walked to the girl on the sofa. "Hey," said Virgil a bit quite when he stood next to the sofa.

"Hey," said Amanda with a smile. "How are you, Virgil ?"

"Fine," said Virgil with a smile. He loved when she talked to him alone. "Can I take a seat ?"

"Sure," she said and let Virgil take a seat next to her.

"So…how are things going ?" asked Virgil when he sat next to her.

"Oh fine," said Amanda. "We're recruiting some new girls who want to be in the cheer leaders team."

"Really ?" said Virgil. "That's….Great."

Amanda smiled. "I've heard you still are playing the piano."

"Oh yeah, I…I just love playing with the piano." said Virgil. 'Dammit ! I'm doing it again.' thought Virgil.

Every time when Virgil was talking to Amanda, he would stutter and say different thing then he wanted to say.

Amanda laughed a bit and smiled at him. "Your silly, Virgil Tracy." She said. "Silly, but cute."

Virgil smiled bright. She finds him cute !

"So how is it going with you ? I mean in love life." said Virgil.

"Fine. Me and Duncan are a couple." said Amanda.

"You and Duncan are a couple ?" repeat Virgil.

"Yeah." Smiled Amanda.

"Oh…That's great." said Virgil a bit sad.

Amanda didn't notice the sad smile of Virgil and just smiled. "Duncan !" she suddenly said happy when she saw her boyfriend.

Virgil looked up and saw a boy coming to them. He was bigger and wearied a football team jacket. "Hi honey," Duncan said. "Move over, geek !"

Virgil sighed and moved away. Duncan went sitting next to his girlfriend. Not even a minute, they started to kiss each other in front of Virgil's face. Virgil growled a bit, before getting up and going away from the sofa.

Virgil went to get something to drink. After a few hours, Virgil was dancing with some girls he knew and tried not to look at Amanda or Duncan who would stop at every song they didn't like to kiss each other.

When the party started to end, Virgil and Flitcher detected to go back home. "Thanks for the party, my friend." said Flitcher to Fred.

"And thank you for coming to it." said Fred.

Virgil and Flitcher smiled and went to their bikes. "Hey, are you two with your bikes here ?" said Fred suddenly.

"Yeah," said Virgil. "Why ?"

"Just don't go in the forest for using any short cuts." said Fred. "There are some rumors of people disappearing in the middle of the night and the next morning nothing was find back."

"Don't worry, Fred." said Virgil calm. "We'll do."

Fred nodded and watched his friend drive off on their bikes.

"You really don't believe him, don't you ?" asked Flitcher when they drive away.

"Not really," said Virgil. "But we better do as he says, you never know."

Flitcher nodded.

After a while they where surrounded with forest. Virgil had noticed that the animals who would come out at night where acting a bit strange. Like if their where scared of something. Virgil shrugged mentally off him and continued driving back to his friends home.

Suddenly they heard some growling. "What was that ?" asked Flitcher when they pulled over.

"Don't know." said Virgil. "It's can't be your stomach, because you already have eaten."

Flitcher stick his tongue out at his best friend. Suddenly another growl came, but this time it was closer. "Okay…."said Flitcher. "I think we better go further now."

Virgil nodded and drived further with his friend. What they didn't know what that two yellow eyes where following them and had them as their target. Flitcher and Virgil didn't noticed anything when suddenly, a beast jumped on Flitcher, knocking him of the bike.

"Flitcher !" yelled Virgil.

"Virgil !" screamed Flitcher scared. "Help me !"

Virgil jumped of his bike and ran to the beast. Virgil had grabbed a wooden stick that was laying on the ground and started to his the beast with it. The beast turned to him, showing his true length. The beast was bigger then it looked like and looked like a wolf. Virgil looked at it, showing that he was a bit scared. The wolf growled and slammed his powerful claws against Virgil, causing a big wound on Virgil's chest.

Virgil felt down on the ground. He saw how the wolf had bitten his friend in the back and ran with away in his mouth. "Flitcher !" screamed Virgil.

Virgil grabbed himself up and ran to his bike. There he took a lighter out and used a stick and the small bottle of alcohol that he had gotten from the party. He ran after the wolf and before he attacked it, he did some alcohol on the stick and set it on fire. Virgil waved it in front of wolf. The wolf growled angry when Virgil did that, dropping Flitcher on the ground. The wolf tried to attack Virgil, but stopped and ran away.

Virgil sighed and picked his friend up. "Virgil…."said Flitcher in pain. Flitcher was in a worse condition.

"Shh, everything is gonna be alright." said Virgil to his friend while holding him.

Me: Muahaha, I love it when I just stop in a chapter like that. Yes I know, you can't drink until your 21, but hey, their in the middle of the land of no where and there aren't cops so, you aren't going to tell me you would drink a of alcohol when you got the chance. I mean, then their aren't allow to eat even cocktail, if you know it's made with Whiskey and Cognac.

Most of the idea's of Virgil letting stutter and let him say different things then he would like to say, came from listing to the song When you say nothing at all.

Why I didn't say the length of the beast was because I don't know how you say it. Here in Europe, we say 2 meter…As soon I have find out how you say it in American / English way, I'll change it.

Hope you liked the first chapter of True Forms and I'll see you again in the next chapter.
