Chapter 1

The bite

Ugh,school is a hell Chole thought. She was in her history class,trying her utmost best to not fall asleep. She looked at the clock that read 3:25. Just ten more minutes and i'll be out of this place. "Now,some things in history can never be proven. We can never be one hundred percent sure they existed. Like for example werewolves and vampires." He turned to his class for some annoying dramatic effect.

"Some say they did exist but with the existence of humanity they live in places were we humans couldn't find them or we hunted them to existent. Others say that they never existed to begin with and they're just myths." "What do you believe ?"Max,Chloe's best friend,asked. Mr Carl turned to look at Max as he pondered over her question. "That's a difficult question but ultimately I do not believe they ever existed."he answered finally.

Just then the bell rang.

Chloe shot up from her chair faster than lightning and walked to the door with several other students. Once she was out the door she waited for Max to get out. "Couldn't wait to get out of class,could you?"Max teased as she and Chloe walked out the entrance of school. "You know me. School is my personal hell."Chloe replied,taking out a cigarette to smoke. "Chloe,we talked about you smoking."Max said. "Yeah yeah. If it makes you feel better I've been smoking a lot less."she replied.

"You're hopeless."Max said rolling her eyes as they entered Chloe's truck. Moments fluttered by in silence as the two girls were in their own thoughts. "Hey,"Max said breaking the silence. "That question asked before about werewolves and vampires existing do you think that they exist or ever did?" Chloe thought about the question. "I mean,I believed werewolves existed before because wolves exist today and werewolves were half wolf half human so that means the wolves are their descendants. But I don't believe vampires existed because how can you kill someone and then they come back alive stronger,faster and for a thirst of blood?" "So you believe in werewolves but not vampires?"Max said.

"Yeah."Chloe replied. "Do you think they still exist?"Max asked. "In a world like this? Max with the way humanity and people are,werewolves could never hope to live."Chloe said. Max,satisfied with Chloe's answer,nodded and sat back in her sit.

"What about you,"Chloe asked her. "Do you think they existed or not?" "I don't believe they ever existed."Max replied firmly. "Didn't expect anything different from you."Chloe said chuckling. Max smiled. Chloe pulled up at a junkyard,their place where they would hang out. She turned off the car and they got out. It was just pass dusk. "So what do you feel like doing?"Max asked Chloe. "Other than smoking?"Chloe joked earning her a light punch on the shoulder. "Other than that."Max said. "I don't know. Maybe a friendly game of tag?"Chloe suggested a small mischievous smile creeping on her face. Max looked at her puzzled before something clicked in. "A friendly game of tag? Isn't tag normally a friendly game?"Max said. "Depends who's playing it."Chloe answered. "Haven't we grown old for tag or child games?"Max asked her. "Max,Max,Max. We choose when we're too old for tag or child games not our age number."Chloe said stepping closer to Max.

Max sighed. "Alright I guess one game won't-" "Tag!"Chloe shouted touching Max on her arm and ran off. "Hey! I wasn't ready!"Max protested and gave chase. They played for hours,occasionally cheating,before they collapsed on the ground,panting,wheezing and smiling. "I think we should get back home."Max said once she finally caught her breath. Chloe looked up and saw it was nighttime. "Yeah we should go."she agreed getting up. Max got up and they walked to the car.

Just then,a growl sounded through the junkyard.

Both girls froze.

They whipped their heads side to side trying to find the source of the growl. Chloe looked at the borderline of the forest that was near the junkyard and nearly stopped breathing.

Two piercing brown eyes appeared from the forest.

"Max? What the hell is that?"she asked. Max looked to where Chloe was looking and saw the two eyes. The creature moved from the tree line. It was a wolf but also not a wolf. It was much bigger than the average wolf and was walking on two legs. It looked at them for a long moment. "Max,on my signal run to the car."Chloe whispered. "What? Chloe you are not going to-" "Run!"Chloe shouted and dashed for the car.

Max shook her head but followed Chloe. The wolf snarled and ran to them. "Faster Max!"Chloe shouted. Max put on a bolt of speed in her run. They were getting closer to the car and for a moment Max thought they might actually make it. Then the wolf leaped at Chloe and tackled into her. She punched and kicked the wolf but it didn't do a thing. It growled and bit her on the arm. She screamed and tried to pry her arm loose.

Max looked around the junkyard until she found a bat. She picked it up then ran at the wolf and smacked it right on the head. It let go of Chloe and turned to Max. Max looked at it's brown eyes and never felt so afraid in her life. It snarled at her and leaped at her. She moved to the side,barely avoiding the wolf,and ran to Chloe's aid. "Come on Chloe!"she urged,helping her up. Just then the wolf leaped on Max. It growled and bit her arm as well. Max screamed and punched it repeatedly in the muzzle. Chloe picked up Max's discarded bat and hit the wolf in its muzzle.

It immediately let it go of Max and turned to Chloe. Not letting it get her a second time,she raised the bat and swung it at the wolf's head. It hit right on and it crowded back,whimpering. Chloe raised the bat to hit it again but the wolf bounded away.

Both girls were shaking with fear.

"Max,"Chloe said the first to recover from their attack. "Are you ok?" "Yeah,i'm good,"Max replied shakily. "Show me your arm."Chloe demanded. Max held out her arm as Chloe examined it. The bite was wasn't deep enough to cause serious injuries. It was bleeding continuously and the wolf's teeth marks were engraved in her skin. But the strangest thing was that it looked like the bite was healing slowly.

Chloe ripped off a bit of her shirt and tied it around the bite. Then she ripped off a bit of her shirt of her sleeve of her shirt and tied it around her bite. "Come on,"Chloe said. "Let's get home." She helped Max up and they walked to the car. Chloe started it up and they drove back home,neither one talking about the event that just happened or aware of the two piercing brown eyes that were following them until they were out of sight.
