Thank you for all the reviews.
The shrill of my alarm clock rung deep in my ears alerting me that morning had arrived to quickly but as the memories of mere hours ago hit me full force my eye flew open as my heart rose up a beat. Drawing in deep breaths to try and calm down I groggily got out of bed nearly tripping over myself when I caught a glance of myself in the mirror behind my door. Where i was once a small five foot four skinny sickly rake my body had morphed in to an astounding one I never thought i could acheive with out exstensive steroids. Muscle wrapped around long toned limbs that made me stretch to a tall six feet eight chestnut brown haired woman. My once dark brown eyes frightened me as I gazed in to them seeing clear haunted brown eyes that had a gold ring around the iris however, that weren't what frightened me. It was the reflection of a white similarly tall wolf with black lines where my deep scars tore in to my own skin. Jumping back a small part of me filled with excitement that I couldn't help agree with a little even though it would mean a further difficult life.
Finally dressing in simple torn black skinny jeans and a 'v' neck t-shirt that hid my scars I ran down the stairs after grabbing my phone only to find Noah through an apple at me which I grasp easily with my new senses. Combing my hair with my fingers so it's not as unruly I grabbed my large lunch Ms Puckerman put together for us before chucking it in my backpack and exiting the house with Noah behind me eyeing my warily. His strong cologne clung to the back of my throat as I jumped inside his truck pretending to gag every time he reached over to play with the radio or start the truck. Gagging again I forced a smile when he tried to wrap an arm around me pulling my close to his side however my flinching away spoiled the moment leaving me to jab him in the side where he was ticklish. Squirming and fidgeting his boisterous laughter filled my ears calming a part of me inside.
He could always calm me but then again all brothers could, especially when I first joined their family. Noah would always quieten me when I had a nightmare in the middle of the night, I don't know which entry way he'd use, either the window or the door, but he would wake me and let me cry until I fell asleep next to his overheated body. He's my best friend and brother even when he shouted at me and attacked me, whereas most people would be pissed at what had happened I could now understand why he'd gotten angry because now I was going through what he was. He was pissed at being a monster because now he would have a hole inside him that only a soul mate could fill and until them he would feel completely alone until he could find his. Losing his father only worsened that hole for when you lose a parent that's a werewolf it also creates a void that cannot be filled.
Pulling up an hour later due to our slowed speed the minute he pulled in to his usual spot I jumped out of the truck giggling, as I heard him chase me around the truck chuckling to himself without a care in the world he didn't seem to notice the rising panic swirl within me. Ignoring the loud whispers of the busy student parking lot I stupidly glanced behind me melting happily at his uncaring smile however seeing the cocky look in his eyes I knew what I'd done wrong because a moment later I was on my back with his loud laughter shaking his bulky shoulders. Offering a hand to me I begrudgingly let him pull me to my feet all the while grumbling to myself, grabbing our backpacks we separated to our different cliques although mine was on my own and left to begin our day a fake smile etched on my face. Due to not fully being at school through freshman year no one here knew who I was except maybe the teachers that marked the work Noah brought home every year while I was healing mentally and physically.
"Hey, do you sing?" An African American large girl said politely in tight blue jeans and a baggy glittery top.
"Wanna join our glee club?" A boy asked in a very classy suit with a hippo broach clipped on the left pocket.
"Glee club?" I asked warily utterly confused.
"It's a place where we sing and dance basically." The girl said in a condescending voice.
"Sorry I don't do either." I smiled apologetically turning to walk away ignoring the painful memories trying to escape the tiny box I filed them away in.
"Stupid bitch." The brunette boy snarled lowly causing my back to tense up as my anger flared up trying to take over my body.
"Okay we are only going to do this once, I will NOT be joining this glee club y'all are talking about so please don't you dare utter another horrible word about me or else I will be getting physical." I growled walking down the hall leaving two obvious gossipers behind me with mouths agape.
"Hey they were only trying to be nice and recruit you." Smirking I glance back seeing a giant man child that was obviously coddled as a child however at the size of him I wondered if he was one of us.
Humming lowly I scented the air only getting a nose full of cologne, perfume, deodorant, sweat and blood. Gagging I understood why Noah wore so much as to block his nose, filing that thought away for further use tomorrow I turned to look at the tall man with short brown hair and an average build. I could take him down easily but knowing Noah and Ms Puckerman wouldn't agree I took in a deep breath regretting it before trying to calm my tense body.
"Yeah well I don't do nice so scatter boy." I snarled leaving him fuming behind me until his large paw like hand physically turned me causing rage and fear to fill me at the thought of a man like my horrid father.
Growling I used his strength on him combined with my own to slam my fist in to his face then kick him so I twisted out of his grip before advancing on him again although two familiar arms wrapped around me pulling me back. Chuckling I allowed him wiggling him off when we got to the lockers not one for being tied down because of the memories were sure to come out if I let a man hold me to tight for too long. Noah knew this which was why he didn't come after me as I stood beside him glaring hatefully at the man on the floor that was obscured as parts of my mind filled his face with one I knew to hate with all that was in me.
"Come Rachel let's get you to class." He said gruffly glancing back at the whining crying man on the floor that now had students around him laughing as teachers tried to help him up.
"Thanks Noah." I whispered keeping my head down as we walked to an English class room that smelt like daisies.
Kissing his cheek I couldn't help chuckle when he blushed and grumbled about being a badass as he walked away. Taking a seat at the back I watched as the day progressed not bothering to take notes since it all seemed to stay in my mind although I did take out my note book to randomly doodle sweet peas, honey and lilies a fading scent that was absolutely divine as I struggled to single it out. Gazing outside I took in the rusty park opposite the school along with a few houses that looked loving and homey which instantly made me green with envy.
As the time ticked by I went through classes pretending to take down note or ignoring people trying to talk to me about Flint however the moment the bell rang for lunch I was out of my seat before everyone else dancing around the other students to get to me locker without getting someone else try talking to me. Chucking my things inside said locker when I slammed it open accidently I was hit by a cold burning sensation that rippled throughout my body and for a split second I was decked into memorises I never wanted to experience again. Growling lowly so the humans wouldn't hear me I jumped on the intruder my bloody ripped fists repeatedly punching the struggling built boy until yet again those stupid brotherly arms pulled me off the ass hole shoving me towards a nearby toilet. Bashing people out the way I rammed the toilet door open tearing my ruined Tommy Hilfiger white shirt off me and throwing it in the bin. Grumbling under my breath the door slammed its self open revealing a highly pissed off blonde lady with short hair and a wizened face while she wore a navy blue track suit.
"Listen up newbie it's either you join my Cheerio's or be expelled choose wisely." She snarled pinching the bridge of her nose as her eyes took in my pale scared muscled body.
"Do I have to wear a skirt?" I huffed holding down a growl as I faced the woman uncaring that I was only wearing a laced black bra.
"No but it would mean your scars may be on view." She said with a hint of pity in her voice as she looked down up in to me eyes.
"That's fine, what would I have to do?" Taking a sly breath a smirk tugged at my lips due to the hint of werewolf blood in her veins.
"Come to practice after school, you'll see." Nodding she left allowing me to get rid of the icy red slush that was running down my barely there abs.
Cleaning myself up I took out my phone texting Noah the news in which he came through running to me with one of his black smart shirts in his hand smiling sadly at me. Tugging it on we left going to lunch together while I told him the news, his laughter filled the halls as he told me that this Ms Sylvester was an evil woman that'll work her cheerleaders to death. Groaning I couldn't wait for this afternoon. Oh ho wrong I was, staying in my NBA shorts and white t-shirt since I had gym last I met a bunch of girls and a couple boys on the field only to get screamed at through a megaphone.
"Alright you lazy babies let's get to work." She snarled shouting to get in to three groups and start doing three different exercises.
Two hours later our many exercises were done and we only had two minutes for a break which didn't last long as a whining freshman made our break nonexistent. With her doing one hundred sit-ups we finally got to doing six different perfect routines that we had to do countless times since the freshman joined late and she had to get it right. Throughout it all my eyes took in two specific cheerleaders one of which was acting breathless and tired like myself and another that was obviously her mate and was unaware of it, the werewolf was a long blonde haired girl that had long toned athletic limbs almost like myself and clear blue eyes that resembles her wolf fighting for freedom. I knew why for my eyes must've resembles my own for our wolves loved this hardcore exercise for it gave us an adrenaline rush, sensing her eyes on my own we glanced at each other shock swirling in her blue eyes.
"Since Quinn Fabray couldn't grace us with her presence today it seems you're done for today, now get lost you're stinking up my field." She growled leaving us to shower and grumble about the pain thriving within us.
Acting like the rest I left to shower however I stayed silent not bothering to whine since my body felt as if I had a mere warm up. Bumping in to someone I mumbled an apology walking on however a fist pushing me in to the nearby lockers stopped me from my journey as a burst of a claimed mate filled my nose. Smirking I looked down in to a rage filled dark brown eyes of the Latina girls were bitching about, catching the eyes of the blonde werewolf I saw her shaking her head almost without movement. Raising an eyebrow I allowed the Latina to continue threatening me about bumping in to her so with a smirk I turned on my southern charm.
"I'm terribly sorry ma'am." I smiled innocently making sure that my southern accent was on full which caused her eyes to darken "It won't happen again I promise." Gently pushed her off of me I went to take a shower hearing her stuttered voice behind me,
"Y-yeah just don't do it again or I'll kick your ass." She tried to snarl.
Chuckling I tore off my shirt forgetting I was surrounded by keen gossiping students however sucking in a slim breath I entered my stall beginning to rid the rest of my clothes and clean myself off fully. Sighing in content as boiling warm water ran over my body I leaned forward a low rumbling emitting from deep within my chest to low for human ears while silent tears mixed with the water. I always hated crying and no doubt I always will however as guilt, fear and a hollow ache tugged within me they kept falling even as the girls all around me began to leave for their homes.
'Stupid lucky humans.'
