Days passed me by as the nurse would come in, check my vitals and give me pain medicine. Thankfully I was off the heavy stuff and was able to stay awake and have conversations with my mom and visitors. Chairman Cross and Uncle Toga happened to be the ones that stayed almost the whole day while I only got to see Zero right before visiting hours ended. All thanks to those night class students needing prefects to keep them ,and the fangirls, in check.

I was currently hugging said silver haired boy goodbye while the nurse held the door for him. "Tomorrow I can come early. It's Saturday though so it wont be too early." He joked and I nuzzled into the joint between his neck and shoulder. "Yeah yeah, get some rest sleepy head. I'll see you tomorrow." I giggled as he ruffled my tangled hair. Once he was out the door, the nurse sen me a knowing smile and all I could do was blush and dip my head.

"Mia, I'm so happy that you have someone special. That you trust him so much, even after your father..." My mother sighed out. I was glad we got to share a room and that we would both be released at the same time, thanks to a little chat from the Chairman to the head nurse. My mother and I had plenty of time to talk now that my father was out of the picture. We talked of where I would be attending school, what courses, hobbies that I want to pursue and of Zero. I was able to tell her that he has become my support in life, who keeps me stable through the rough parts. And Just as sleep forced me back into the world of dreams, mother said one last thing that I can never forget. "No matter where you go in life, it's always better with love."

When I awoke, the nurse was getting some clothes ready for me. Her rosy smile was already on her lips when she saw my sleep filled eyes. "Good morning, Mia. Sleep well?" She asked, holding up a new green shirt with black sleeves. "Time to get ready, you and your mother are being discharged today." She smiled and helped me get dressed. My shoulder was still very sore and tender to the touch, so the shirt was a tedious task. Once dressed, I was led down the hall and joined my mother, the Chairman and Zero. "There you are, sleepy head. It's good to see you up and about." The motherly man said as he graced me with a gentle hug instead of his bone crushing affectionate one. "Alright, I don't know about you but I am out of this hospital!" My mother said in mock anger. We all laughed and followed the lady out.

Home sweet school. Zero, Chairman, mother and myself all tumbled from the car and went our own ways. Me following Zero, mother wandering the grounds and the Chairman to his office. "Zero, did you see anything the night we were attacked by the wolves?" I asked, peeking up at him to read his reaction. "See anything? What, like a person or something?" He said, thinking back to that night. "Hmm, I don't think so. Why do you ask? Did you see something?" I simply sigh and shake my head. No need to worry the boy, God knows you both have been through enough. Maybe it was all in my head. I mean, a werewolf? Those don't exists...Do they?

Walking to the horse barn, Zero grins as he hears Lilly calling for him. "Come on, the horses need a good stretch." With that, we walked into the barn and grabbed a saddle each. "I think a ride would be good for the both of us." Zero said as he placed the saddle on white Lilly. I walk slowly down the hall of horses and picked a gray mare named Tally. "Come on girl, lets take a walk." I whispered in her ear and scratched her muzzle. With both horses saddled, Zero led the way out and to the forest.

Crunching over leaves, the horses slowly walked through the trees with Zero and I on their backs. Thankfully, there was no growling of howls today. Though you had a feeling there wouldn't be any while the sun shines. -I can't believe a pack of wolves were on the school grounds. I hope they didn't stick around and hurt someone else.- I thought as we went though a small river. " Mia, how about we stop here and let the girls rest?" I heard Zero say, snapping me from my thoughts. "Sure." I nod and dismount Tally.

We both sat at the foot of a large oak tree and watched to clouds roll across the blue sky. "Hey look, that one looks like a leaf." I said, pointing at a maple leaf looking cloud. Zero laughed and pointed at another. "That one looks like a star." I smiled and again pointed to another. "A flower!" "A shoe." "A...piano?" I questioned as a piano shaped cloud drifted over the sky. We both laughed and fell back against the roots of the tree. The sun lazily made it's way from east to west and soon both Zero and myself were snoozing in the sun shine.

I woke up as the sun set and the sky grew dark. "Zero...Hey, Zero...Wake up sleepy head." I said, shaking the sleeping hunter awake while rubbing my eyes with my free hand. The boy soon opened his violet eyes and let out a loud yawn. "Man, did it get dark or what?" He said as he gave a stretch to his shoulders and back. "Yeah, I guess we were pretty tired for some reason." We both stood up and retrieved the horses from the stump they were tied to. The moonlight hit my skin and I felt a chill run through my body, freezing me to the spot. Tally got spooked ad reared up as a burning pain shot through my gut, doubling me over on my knees. I heard Zero yell my name and I felt his touch on my shoulder, but everything hurt too much to know what he was saying.

I felt claws rip through my nails and large fangs grow in my mouth, shoving all my other teeth elsewhere. My bones felt like molten metal as they reformed. I yelped in pain and it came out as a howl instead. Panting and shaking, I felt the pain melt away and was able to focus on Zero's frantic voice. "Mia? Can you hear me? Come on, it's alright. I'm here." I felt a twitch on my head as I turned my eyes to him. "Zero?" I tried to say, only it came out as "Grorr?" Zero shook his head and patted my head. "Sorry, I have no idea what you said. But lets go get Chairman to see if he can help." I nodded and slowly stood up, eyeing my now torn clothes as new body. Something swished behind me and I swiftly caught it to see that I had a tail. I gave a yelp as the claws and large snout were soon noticed. "What the heck?! It was a werewolf!" (arroaow?! Grr arff araraf!)

A few things took my notice as I padded through the woods back to the school. One, I was still my normal height. Two, the horses were terrified of me. Three, I could understand the animal language. Not that they had anything useful to say or anything. But, a squirrel running by yelling "NUTSNUTSNUTSNUTSNUTS!" Made me laugh. "You might want to stay in the trees...Just in case someone is talking with him." I nod to Zero's suggestion and stay in the shadows while the silver haired boy walks towards the Chairman's office.

It was dark and chilly tonight, at least I have fur now. Keeps the cold out and the warmth in. I sighed in boredom as I waited fro Zero to come back. Minutes slowly tick by as I watch the silhouettes of the Chairman and Zero in through the window. Thankfully, they left the office as were soon coming my way. My ears flicked back as I stayed put behind a tree. "Mia?" Chairman said as he tried to look through the shadows. I growled lowly and stepped out, hearing The chairman gasp when he saw me. "Oh, Mia. What happened?" He cried as he enveloped me in a hug. I gave a whimper and flicked my ears towards Zero, my eyes telling him to help me.

Once detangled from the motherly Chairman. Zero launched into what happened during our ride and suggested what might have happened when the wolves attacked. While the two male conversed, I simply sat on the ground and waited for them to end. They never did, they just kept talking and talking and talking. I sighed and shook out my fur, somehow I was a murky gray color than my messy black. Standing up, I simply walk away in search of my mother. -Maybe she can help?- I thought as my padded feet silently fell on the leaves, somehow.

The scent of daisies and moss greeted my nose and I followed the smell. Thankfully it was my mother, I never noticed how pretty she smelled...well, there is a good reason why smells were not on my important list. I ru the back of my neck and let out a soft growl, hoping not to scare he too much. Mother turned and gasped at me. "A-a werewolf? What do you want here, where is your pack!?" She yelled while backing up. I flicked my ears back and whine, sitting on the ground I gave her a huff. "I'm Mia, your daughter." (awrara groawawa) My mother just looked at my, confusion clearly on her face. I growled and pulled at my torn shirt, hoping she would recognize it.

A few moments later, my mothers eyes lit up with understanding. "Mia!" I was once again engulfed in a hug, but this time I gently patted my mothers back. "Oh Mia, the wolf attack. You saw it didn't you, the leader of the pack." I nodded into her shoulder and sighed, at least my mother could understand me to a point. "Does Kaien and Zero know? What about your Uncle? Come on, lets see what they can do." She said as she easily pulled my to my feet and drug me back to where I left the men.

"Kaien! What are we going to do? My daughter cannot be chosen, she knows nothing about the wolves!" Mother yelled just as the two males came into view. The Chairman yelped and fell back when he saw my mother. "Ja-Jari, lovely weather we're having." The Chairman cried, hiding behind Zero as my mother stomped up to him. "I thought since there was vampires here the wolves wouldn't come, but look what happened! She's bitten and has had her first turn, please tell me you at least had someone look into the wolves." I was so confused as my mother yelled at the Chairman.

Zero looked helpless as he was made to shield the Chairman from Jari's wrath. I gave a sigh and stepped between them. Everyone was silenced as I looked between the two adults and one teen. " Uncle Toga needs to help out too." (Urr aro grrr barara hoaw) No one moved and I knew it was simply because they had no idea what I just said. I nodded my head in the direction of the teachers dorms and started heading that way. "Oh, she wants to let Toga in on all this." Zero mused and quickly caught up to me.

Needless to say, Toga was pissed to be disturbed and to see me as a werewolf. Everyone started to yell at each other with accusations and explanations. I gave an annoyed huff and claimed the couch as the adults talked of what to do next. -I guess they will explain when they realize that I have absolutely no idea what they are talking about- Another huff left me as I placed my head in a clawed hand...er, paw. Zero soon joined me, heaving an exasperating sigh. "This is getting no where. But, it seems that you getting turned isn't just a random thing...The wolf...chose you to be his...uh...mate." My brain fizzled out with this new information. -Mate? As in...No. No no no no no no! There is no way I am letting anyone do that.- I let out a feral snarl that effectively silenced the room. "Oh no, Zero told her." My mother groaned as my fur stood on end. -I will personally kill any dog that dares to try.-
