Feeling alone, I didn't try to find Jake. I wandered around and caught glimpses of Shifters. None were in Wolf form, but they were there.

You've done it. Conner doesn't like you. You upset his mate. What'd you do?

I simply told her I hated being a shifter. She's human, and she got emotional. Really, it wasn't that big.

Well, I'm not coming out like that. I'll make snide comments. I laughed at his plan.

No matter what you do, you will be murdered every day,

I know. Just keeps popping into my plans. So where are you. Maybe we could do some work outs.

I'm on the edge. I'll meet you by the cafeteria in five.

Kay. Bring your lighter.

Never leave without it, sadly. I started over to the cafeteria. When I got there, Jake was waiting for me with a cup of water.

"Had to go inside. Where do you want to do this?" He asked.

"In the back. Let's try not to bring attention to ourselves." I told him, smirking.

"Yeah, you're a pro." He told me.

"I try not to brag." I said grinning. We sat on the ground. I took out my lighter. I clicked it on and the flame came out. I stared at it until it started getting bigger. Soon I dropped the lighter and the fire was in my hand . I rolled it around, and stared at it some more. I took in a breath and it got small then I let out a big blow and it ignited. Suddenly, Jake's water covered the fire, before it could hit his face. I smiled.

"Aw, I was looking forward to scorching you again." I told him.

"Never again. I just got my eyebrows back." He told me smiling. He moved the water towards me. I expanded my fire until the water and fire were mixed together. We separated our elements. I played with fire while Jake played with water.

"Try making it into ice." I told him. He gave me a determined look. He focused hard and the water started to ice over.

"Nice!" I told him. He smiled and lost concentration.

"Alright, let's see these raging flames." He told me. I gave him a lazy look. "Just try. I know you've been practicing." He told me. I split the fire and held it in two hands. I closed my eyes and pictured the flames in my hands, taking over my arms and becoming big. I squeezed my eyes, then opened them. The fire crept along my arm, but wasn't big.

'You're getting there. Don't worry." Jake told me. I gave him a long sigh.

"I hate this. I wish we didn't need to practice. I hate having to control our abilities." I told him.

"We know what happens if we don't. When we transform, they could over take us and kill us. We need to control them. On top of that, I have to go through it alone." He told me.

"I'm thinking about going at it alone." I told him.

"What! You can't." He told me. "You'll..." He cut short. "You don't want that." He told me. I shrugged and got rid of the fire.

"If the fire doesn't kill me, being alone will. No guy wants me. I'm going to be alone anyway." I told him. "It's a win, win situation." I told him.

"No it's not. Because I lose. I lose you. Don't think about yourself. Think about how you'll hurt me and dad. Dad. He's already lost mom. He can't lose you." He told me. We both stood up.

"I hate you. You make a reasonable plan seem rash." I told him.

"Glad I know how to make a point." He told me. He gave me a hug.

"I'm scared." I told him.

"I know. I am too." He told me. When we parted I wiped away a stray tear. "So we go to Wolford for a few weeks. Until we change. They say they have people to help us." He told me.

"Great. A specialist." I told him.

"Come on. It could be fun. We could mess with them." He told me. I smiled a little bit.

"That's my sister. Now lets get back before I make enemies too. I can't be seen with you." He told me.

"Oh please. I can't be seen with you." I told him. We smiled and walked to the front of the cafeteria. We walked back to the center where people were gathering. Lucas was in the center, with a list. Kayla wasn't far off and I decided that they were mates. It wasn't hard to decipher who was mated with who. I stood by the back with Jake.

So boring. Telling us what to do. Jake said smiling at the front.

I can't believe they take pride in this. Look at Brittany. She's pissed at me. Oh, and the Conner dude. Fight me. I shook my head at them.

Haha. You think he's gonna beat me up?

Yeah. Sucks to be my brother.

Lucky for you to be my sister. Let's go. This a waste of time.

Yeah, and then they tell us we win a million dollars. I grinned. We moved in sync, turning around and walking away.

"And lastly. Connor and I will be taking a tour with our new members. Jake and Kelly. They come from southern California. Let's welcome them." He said. We turned around and smiled.

So much for escaping. I told him.

Eh, so we get praised. They have it so easy.

Just makes us stronger. We'll get through it.

I hope so. He gave me a sad look and I couldn't give him anything back. There was no recorded shifter making it through this kind of shift.

"We won't be far from each other." I told him. The crowd went onto some other news. We left everyone and went to do our own thing.

Jake went back to his cabin, and I went to my cabin and took out my oreo's. I ate a few then put it back. I went into the bathroom and took a hot shower. I got into pajamas and decided to go to sleep early. I closed my eyes, ready for the nightmares that were constant.
