The halls of Oconto Falls high were crowded with many faces. Kayla walked in front of the others as whistles and cat calls earning them many glares from Doug, Shaun and Ryan.
"Why do they do that?" Kayla asked Shaun beside her.
"Don't bother about that Kayla their just acting stupid" Ryan assured her.
"Yeh stay away from them they're perverts" Shaun added as he took her by the hand and guided her to their first class.
"Okay…I'll see you two at lunch" Kayla called back to Rachel and Doug behind her. They were a year higher then the rest of them so she wouldn't be sharing in classes with them.
Ryan, Jimmy, Shaun, Stephanie and Kayla walked into the large classroom and stood in front of the class.
"This is boring" Kayla told Jimmy and Shaun beside her. Her arms crossed against her chest and small pout shown on her face,
"Don't worry angel everything will be fine" Shaun promised as he snaked his arms around her waist and pulling her closer to his chest. Taking in her sweet and calming sent of lavender mixed with honey and vanilla. 'Hn she's so addictive' Shaun though.
"Angel?" Jimmy questioned with a small eyebrow raised in curiosity.
"Yeh what's with all the pet names, first it was babe in the car and now you call her angel"
"Hey I don't need your permission you two, I can call her whatever I want…Tucker calls Kayla Angel why cant I?" he retorted back childishly slowly releasing Kayla from his arms.
A small growl escaped Kayla's lips as she walked across the classroom from the arguing males. She sprang onto the teacher's desk and stood in a crouch position. The class became silent at once as all their attention turned towards Kayla.
"Ok let's get this over with, I'm Kayla. Me and my 'brother and sisters' will now be attending Oconto Falls high. Guys introduce yourselves" she told the boys and now shocked Stephanie as she quickly tried to regain some composure.
"Hi I'm Stephanie nice to meet you all!!" Sakura squealed
"Hn Ryan"
"Shaun"
"Hey! Jimmy" Jimmy said as he raised his hand in a small greeting towards them.
"Okay that's all of us any questions?" she asked the class as many hands were raised in the air.
"Do you have a boyfriend" a boy shouted out in interest.
"No comment…next" she scanned the classroom as she looked upon boy snacking on a packet of crisps in front of her.
"Okay how about you?" she pointed towards him.
"where did you guys move from?"
"Well we mostly traveled around Europe for a while until we settled down in the highlands of Scotland."
"Why did you guys leave?" Kayla's attention turned towards the next speaker. He had short brown hair. The long claws peeked through his sleeves and large canines protruded from his mouth giving him a feral like appearance. His scent was strangely different compared to the others as she could smell a small trace of animal blood on him mixed with the smell of wolf. 'Something's different about him he's not like the others' she thought to herself as she looked towards the others behind her who seemed to be thinking the same thing.
"What's your name?"
"Cameron, now answer the question why'd you leave?" he repeated.
A small look of sadness fell on Kayla's features as the harsh memories began to unfold once again in her mind.
Flashback
The anger and fear tainted their once happy home as the flames engulfed the house. Burning every last piece of furniture and memory to dust. The peaceful life once had, was now broken into pieces at their feet as they fought against the blazing fire that seemed to surround them.
"DIE MONSTERS…may you burn in the cinders of hell where you belong" The angry mob shouted from outside as the house burned. The shouts and screams throughout the house making Kayla hold tighter onto the crying tucker in her arms.
"COME ON KAYLA WE HAVE TO FIND A WAY OUT" Shaun shouted so he could be heard above the angry mob as he led her through the house the cellar.
"Angel I'm scared"
"sshhh its ok don't cry just hold on okay"
"Why do they hate me?" Tucker sobbed as he held tightly onto Kayla as she ran through the burning house.
"KAYLA LOOK OUT" Anthony shouted as she pushed Kayla out the way of a wooden beam that fell from the roof creating a large hole in the floor where she once stood.
"How could this happen we didn't attack any of them" Rachel screamed as she ran through the cellar. The cellar tunnel was made in the time of the war where the family could escape out of the house safely underground and lead them into the forest. Silent tears ran down Kayla's face as she looked back at the broken down now in flames lighting up the darkness that surrounded them.
"If only they could understand" Kayla whispered
"They'll never see what we really are, their only human, they fear us." Shaun whispered back in her ear. Holding her close to his chest as he rubbed her back soothingly to stop her from crying.
"Come on we can't stay here" Anthony said sadly as they took one last look at the broken down house in the distance.
End flashback
Shaun stepped in front of her taking notice of her change in attitude and answered the question for her.
"We left for family matters that do not concern the likes of you" he glared at the class making them all feel uneasy in their seats.
Kayla looked up at Shaun giving him a reassuring smile before she walked to the back of the class to choose her seat. The others soon followed and sat at the back of the class.
…………………………………..
To Kayla's relief the first two periods flew by as she quickly exited the classroom deeply in her own thoughts. 'I wonder how Stephanie is? did they find the work as easy as I did?, did the class ask them any questions?' the questions in her mind all seemed to unfold as she quickly walked through the corridor. Unaware as she bumped into a hard chest in front of her, dropping her and the boy books on the floor.
"I'm so sorry I wasn't looking where I was going ", she quickly said to the boy as she kneeled down to pick up the fallen books.
"Hey it's ok it was an accident". He had bright ocean blue eyes, brown short hair and a goofy grin plastered on his face. Holding out her grin towards her.
"I'm Lucas Veness, you must be one of the new students" he replied.
"Yeh, I'm Kayla nice to meet you" she introduced herself as she shook his hand.
"I heard from the principal that you guys reserved the hall for your band at lunch."
Yeh we're cold sweet crimson you can come along to watch if you want?"
"Cool I'd like that, Shaun told me about you guys playing. Is it alright if I bring some other people along?"
'Would the guy mind' Kayla thought to herself. He seemed different in her eyes compared to the others she thought as the scent of wolf and blood became visible to her senses. 'That sent I've smelt it before…but where?" she thought. Something wasn't right.
"Kayla…Kayla" Lucas repeated waving his hand in front of her.
"Wha…oh yeh sure, sorry I have to go…bye" she quickly said as she walked away from the puzzled Lucas.
…………………………
"Finally lunch, I thought this day would never end" Rachel moaned as she walked hand in hand with Doug. The others trailed behind the loving couple as they walked into the lunch hall and sat down at a corner table.
"Well at least we get to play after lunch"
"I guess your right, but come on. If people think we're all related they'd have to be blind" Ryan said taking a small sip of the pig's blood in front of him.
"And plus that would mean Doug is dating his sister" Shaun stated as everyone looked at him in shock.
"Eww Doug's sleeping with his sister" Ryan added pointing to the couple. Unknown to the others Doug's anger began to rise as gripped tightly on the metal container. 'Deep breaths Doug, I will not loose control and embarrass myself because of these idiots' he thought to himself.
"Eww think of the children" Jimmy pointed out as Kayla went into a fit of giggles and Shaun choked on his drink.
A small vain began to make its self known on Doug's forehead. Stephanie noticed that Doug's appearance seamed to become very dark. His eyes were closed as he tried to regain some self control. Stephanie tried to quickly ease the situation.
"Eh guys…-"
"The children will probably be defaulted somehow. But I guess Anthony would be proud to call himself a grandpa" Shaun said as he put away his container. The others began to snicker at the though of Anthony surrounded by grandchildren pulling at his hair and slowly driving him insane. 'Hn the perfect revenge' Shaun thought to himself.
"Eh guys…." Stephanie repeated as she tried to warn them about the seething Doug.
'Don't listen…Just keep calm and count to ten…one…two….three' Doug thought as his nails dug into the palm of his hand drawing blood.
"Eww incest" Kayla said randomly as her and the guys burst out laughing.
"Guys…run!!" Stephanie shouted at them as they now looked at the now dark aura that seemed to surround him. Killer intent was shown on his face.
Kayla gulped down a peace of apple she had been munching on.
"Time to go Kayla!" Shaun said as he quickly dragged her out of her seat and began to run for their lives.
"Come back here you bastards!! Just wait till I get my hands on you. I'll make sure you won't be able to walk for a month!!" Doug shouted as he darted out of his seat after the fast retreating Kayla, Shaun, Ryan, and Jimmy. Leaving a worried Stephanie and Rachel behind at the table.
