I love the wild, the feeling of the air rushing past me as I run through the forest every morning. But recently a certain bear of a boy was interrupting that peace. Barry Rabe whose running path had crossed over mine about a month ago and ever since then I've been feeling weird as he runs in front of me shirtless.

I can't stop thinking about him and it's making my skin all fizzy. I was mulling over this as I walked up my driveway, noticing that my mother's car was gone yet again. Ever since I came back she hasn't been able to cope with the fact that I'm not the same little girl she used to know. Monroe gave me some tips about being a functional wesen in society after the trail was all over and everything clamed down a little bit but I still miss living in my tree house and just being free.

I've been feeling weird for a few days now and not knowing if it's a wesen thing or a puberty thing is making it extra hard to figure out how to make it go away. Getting the phone out of its cradle I decided to call Monroe to see if this was another thing that makes up being blutbad.

"Every year around spring we get the urge to mate with pretty much anything and you would have been too undernourished when you were in the woods you to start this cycle. Now it's very important that you stay home and don't let anyone in cause any day now your body will flood with hormones and you will wanna claw your skin off if it means getting some rest from it all" he explained. The thought of being that out of control again was making me anxious on top of the weird things I was already feeling.

"I'll tell my mum I have the flu or something, I think I'm running a fever anyway" I sigh, chewing my nails.

"It will only last a few days, just try and ride it out"

"Thanks for telling me all this" I told him before saying my goodbyes and hanging up.

It was day one and I got top marks for faking having the flu, the raging fever my body was wracked with helped, and luckily my mother thought it was because I went running in the cold every morning.

"I have to go to work and I will be home at six and will make you some soup for dinner, rest up" she said as she rushed out the door for work and left. I heard her leave and I just sighed in relief.

I had shut all the windows and doors to keep the smell of any wesen who happened to pass out but it was still hard to not feel trapped in my own house and the hormones rushing through me and were not helping.

I decided to watch some TV but the only thing that was on was stupid infomercials or old 70's reruns and the boredom was driving my insane. Looking around for some movies or something to watch I felt the sweat dribble down my spine and all I could think about was getting out of this house and running through the forest like I use to before home meant dinner at six and using soap when I wash. It made my skin feel tight and hot like tiny bugs were running under it and the house felt tiny and cramped and if I didn't leave now I would explode.

Scratching at my arms I decided a nice hot bath would help calm me down but I couldn't even get up the stairs before I fell to the floor after my muscles went into overdrive and my legs gave out from under me, aching like mad.

My face would not stop woging and turning towards the front door I could smell the most amazing scent. Pulling myself up I saw Barry standing at the forest edge bordering our house looking in worse shape than I was. The next thing I knew he was banging on the front door like the world would end of he didn't get in.

I grabbed the phone and called Monroe with shaking fingers but my brain wasn't working so I just tossed down the phone and the last thing I remember was turning the lock on the door and twisting the knob.

Please review. I'm editing this so hopefully it will make more grammatical sense and have less spelling mistakes.
