A lone wolf, so blonde it looked white, was walking in the forest
with silent, graceful steps. She watched the trees swaying with cold,
blank emerald green eyes.
Her ears perked forward when she heard the screams of
someone coming from the right. When the smell of blood filled her
nose, she didn't hesitate any longer.
Eliza ran through the forest. As she came out of the woods, she
heard people yelling and screaming as they ran away from a wolf who
was attacking a young woman. She shot pass the people running and
onto the back of the big silver wolf. She bit into the shoulder of the
silver wolf, growling loudly. The wolf howled and began to buck wildly,
trying get her off its back, whenever Eliza bit into its shoulder. When
the wolf gave a hard buck, Elia went flying and slammed into a tree that
was nearby. She howled in pain.
The male wolf growled at her before turning to the people
running toward them to check on Eliza, but she slammed her head into
his side which caused him to fall. Not giving him the chance to get over
the shock of being knocked down, Eliza didn't hesitate to bite into his
throat, successfully stopping him advancing toward the people. She
looked up at the people still coming their way. He must have see them
to because he started jerking around, trying to get up. Eliza increased
the pressure on his neck, keeping him from getting up. Looking down,
she watched the light fade from his blue eyes. After his body went limp,
she lifted her head with blood pouring off her fangs, as she looked at
the people who ha stipped several feet away from the two wolves.
She blinked in surprise, before she recovered and her eyes went
back to their cold blankness. Before her stood three people she knew
very well. Eliza growled to herself. She did not want to see these
people, after disappearing. She looked at them with her cold, blank
eyes, knowing they would not know her.
After five years, she had changed alot. She was no longer a
pushover, or easy to hurt. She never ran from anything anymore. Pain
no longer hurt her.
She narrowed her eyes as they came closer. Growling, she
backed away before turning and running into the forest, without a
backward glance.

Ella
Ella gasped as she watched the white-blonde haired wolf protect
them from the large wolf that had attacked her before it appeared.
Looking the animal in the eyes, she realized that they were the same
color as her best friend's, who had disappeared five years ago. Her
eyes filled with tears as she remembered her best friend disappearing
into the forest after she caught her crush and another friend making
out behind the school. Ella still ached for her best friend.
She grimaced at the pain that shot through her arm whenever
she grabbed her wrist that had been bitten and stepped toward the
green-eyed wolf.
Growling, the wolf turned away and ran back into the forest. She
looked back to Zane and Maria. Those were the two people who had
hurt her best friend so much that she had run away.
Tears came to her eyes as the memory of the last time she saw
her friend hit her.
Ella smiles as she walks around the school, headed to her and her
best friend's favorite place to hang out. It was one of the only trees that was
behind the school, but this one was the biggest and most shaded.. She stops
suddenly and frowns when she sees Eliza with tears falling off her face .
Looking ahead of her, she sees the guy that Eliza had had a crush on for as
long as she has known her, kissing another girl. She watches as her best
friend turns and begins to run into the forest. Ella gave an almost animal-like
growl before she stomps over to Zane and Maria. Her eyes narrow at the two
lovers whenever she sees them blushing at their being caught smooching
behind the school. While Maria burst into a fit of giggles, Ella pushs her fist
back and punches Zane right in the nose, smirking happily at herself as he
fell to the ground holding his nose. Turnning to Maria, she slaps her across
the face, hard, and watched as she staggers backward and grabs her cheek.
"What the hell!" Maria yells, but Ella just glares at them before turning and
stomping off toward the school, not looking back at them.
Ella sighed as the memory faded away. She turned and walked
back to the school with Zane and Maria following behind her. She
narrowed her brown eyes in pain as she remembered her best friend.
Ella wanted to cry at the loss of her Eliza.
As she walked, she wondered, as she had many times over the
years, why Eliza left instead coming to her about it, like she had
everything else.
As the school came into view, she looked back. Passed Zane
and Maria, who were holding hands as they walked together, and
passed the place where the wolf had attacked her to the forest, where
her best friend, presumably, spent her last hours. She sighed as she
came to the school doors. Looking down, she entered the doors.

Zane
Zane thought about the white-blonde haired wolf who had saved
them. The hair of the wolf remind him of his old friend who went
missing five years ago. He missed his friend a lot and wish he could
find her. He looked over at his girlfriend, who also had been friends
with Eliza, and wondered how five years had gone by so fast. They
were no longer thirteen years old, but seventeen year old.
Zane knew that Ella blamed him and Maria for Eliza's
disappearance. He sighed as the school came into view. He looked up
at Ella when she looked back at the forest with sad eyes. He hung his
head in sadness knowing Ella must be right, that they had caused Eliza
to leave. He scrunches his nose as he remembered how Ella punched
him in the face on the day that Eliza had disappeared.
"Zane, I am in love with you," Maria says nervously, looking at him.
Zane smiles happily at her then leans over to kiss her, deeply.
Maria sighs happily and kisses him back. Neither of them notice that
Eliza is nearby.
"I love you, Zane." Maria says again, smiling happily at him.
"I love you, Maria." He says back, smiling against her lips before
kissing her again.
Still neither of them notice the small figure of Eliza as she runs into
the forest near the school. They were so busy kissing and holding each other
that they don't noticed Ella as she stomps up to them with
hatred filled brown eyes. They both blush at having being
caught. He hears Maria start gigging at the same time that he feels a fist
connect with his nose. Being caught of guard, he falls to the ground, holding
his bloody nose. Before either of them had time to react, Ella slapped Maria
across the face, too.
"What the hell!" Maria yells at Ella, as she turns back toward the
school. He looks up at Maria, still holding his nose, and shrugs his
shoulders, confused as well.
He gave a long sigh as the memory ended. He looked up at the
sky before going into the school and shook his head wishing he had
his friend back. He squeezed Maria's hand before reaching to open the
school doors for them. While Maria walked through, he looked back at
the forest, wondering about Eliza. He gave another sigh, shook his
head, and followed Maria into the school.

Maria
Maria sighed as she opened her eyes the next morning. Since it
was Saturday, she layed in bed, thinking about yesterday. Her eyes
filled with tears as she thought of her long lost friend, Eliza. She still felt
a lot of guilt over her disappearance. She knew that she was the
reason that Eliza had run away.
She had known that Eliza had had a crush on Zane, and yet she
had still gone after him. She cried softly into her pillow, longing for her
loyal friend. Wishing she hadn't been such a horrible friend, she clung
to her blanket, sniffling until her mother called that breakfast was
ready. She wiped away the tears and climbed out of her bed. She
checked in the mirror to see if her eyes were red before she walked
down the stairs. She sat at the table, sighing softly. She ate slowly,
trying not to cry, as she remembered the day she had confessed to
Zane.
Maria blushes as she looks at Zane, who was smiling at her and
waiting for her to say it. She opens and closes her mouth nervously a few
times before saying, "I love you, Zane!"
She blushes again when Zane smiles and kisses her lips, happily.
She sighs contentedly before kissing him back, excitedly. Too busy kissing
and holding each other, they didn't notice Ella until she was in front of them.
Maria gave a nervous giggle. She doesn't realize that Zane had just been
punched until Ella turns and slaps her across the face. Maria grabs her
stinging face.
Playing it off as if she has no idea why Ella had just done that, she
yells at her, "What the hell!"
Ella doesn't say anything, just glares at her before she turns and
walks away. Maria looks down and sees Zane shaking his head and holding
his nose.
Maria sighed as she got up from the table and heading to the
bathroom to take a shower. As she gets in the shower, she sniffled,
wishing she could find her friend to apologize. The hot water hit her
back as the tears started falling.

Eliza
Eliza twitched her ears as she looked at her friend, Luna. She
was the black wolf who had come to her years ago.
"You know you will have to go back, Silver." Luna said, softly.
"Why?" Eliza said, coldly.
"Look at you! You are no longer that sweet girl who have been
hurt." Luna said, softly, as she nipped at Eliza's ears. Eliza flickered
her ears as she looked at her friend, not wanting to displease her.
"If I must go back, Luna, then you will have to come as well."
She said quietly and buck her head under Luna's chin. Luna smiled
softly and nodded her furry black head.
"We will go together then." Luna smiled at Eliza.
Eliza smiled back at her old friend. They continued to walk in the
forest for several mintues in silence before coming to a stop at an old
yellow house. Eliza whimpered.
Her bones popped as she shifted to her human form. She stood
up. Looking down at her self, she noticed that she no longer had a
small chest. She looked over to Luna, noticing she to had changed into
her human form.
"This is my family's home. I know they still live here, because I
check up on them all the time." Eliza said, looking at the house with her
cold, blank emerald green eyes. Luna smiled softly as she took Eliza's
hand, giving her the support she knew she needed. Together, they
walked toward the house, both hope her family would still accept her
after five years of being gone.
