Seven Hours Later

'Ugh. Five classes with Madi and only two with Alec.' I thought to myself as I put my homework into my backpack and slung it over my shoulders. I was now waiting for Alec. I wanted to see, very badly, what he wanted to show me.

'Hurry up, Alec!' I cried in my head and a yelp of surprise came from me as a pair of hands blocked my vision.

"Calm down." He whispered in my ear. It was Alec.

"Only because you asked so nicely." I giggled.

"Good girl. Now, because you're so good, you get to see something spectacular." He said. "You know the woods by your house?"

"Yeah." I replied, raising an eyebrow after he turned me towards him.

"After I drop you off, meet me where the woods meet the backyard. It'll take me a while to get there since I'm going to go back home then come to you." He said.

"Why don't you just show me right when I get home?" I asked. I was really confused.

"That would ruin the surprise." He said.

"Ohh…" I said. I was still extremely confused. He didn't say another word about the subject as we started walking to his car. We got in and he started up the car. We pulled out of the parking lot and headed for my house.

"It'll take about thirty minutes to an hour for me to get there. Thankfully it's nice out and you won't freeze your pretty little body." He said as he looked at me for a brief second then looked back at the road.

I stayed silent for I had no clue what to really say. I was still confused as all hell.

We said nothing for the rest of the ride to my house. After he pulled in my drive way, I stepped out of the car and was about to shut the door when he called out, "Remember, thirty minutes to an hour. Oh, and Ally?" I looked back into the car. "I love you."

"I love you too." I said and shut the door. He pulled out of my driveway and I watched as his car disappeared.

'Thirty minutes to an hour.' I thought to myself as I made my way into my house and straight up into my room. I could at least get some if not all of my Spanish homework done.

I sat down at my desk and plopped my backpack straight onto it. I pulled out my Spanish book and my Spanish packet. I knew Spanish really well. I never had to open my book and soon enough, the packet was done. I looked at my clock. It was 3:37.

'Time for me to head outside.' I thought to myself as I put my Spanish homework back in my backpack. Then I took out my Pre-calculus homework I could do after I saw Alec.

I got out of my desk and walked out of my room, down the stairs and out of the house. I went to the backyard and to the edge of the woods. No one was here yet. I sat down on the grass and hoped someone would come soon. I started picking at the grass, like I would do while I was little when I got super bored. I guess it was a habit I never broke.

Footsteps caused me to look up from the piece of grass I was tearing apart. Alec was emerging from the woods. I stood up and he motioned for me to sit back down. So I did. Then he did something I had never seen before. Alec shifted to a wolf.
