Chapter 7

It has been tough the past couple of weeks getting the hang of this wolf thing.

Learning to fight and track vampires was the easy part and being able to finally, not only walk, but run was amazing.

Having feeling in my body again was beyond describable.

As soon as Jacob and dad got me calmed down I just dropped to the ground and cried tears of joy and dad instantly put his arms around me and cried with me.

Everyone on the reservation was so excited to hear the news; of course not everyone knew I could walk again because I was a wolf.

We just tell anyone that doesn't know about us that it was truly a miracle from God.

Of course it was a miracle, but they just don't know how the miracle took place.

My mom prayed every night that I would get better and she was so happy God answered her prayers.

People in the tribe murmured about their doubts of me ever becoming a wolf, but my family kept hope alive even when I had already given up.

The one person I wanted to tell wouldn't speak to me.

I tried calling Liza everyday but she would never pick up.

It was obvious she thought I was a freak and I have scared her off forever.

If only there was a way I could make things right.

I have pondered over going to talk to her, but I don't want to cause trouble.

There is only so long for me to avoid her, because today I am going back to school for the first time since my accident.

When I arrive at school the hallways are filled with judgmental stares and whispers.

Rumors instantly began flying around.

There even was a story that said I had been experimented on in a lab.

I wore a sleeveless shirt to school so I could show off my new guns.

All of the girls looked at me differently now.

There was a look in their eyes I have never seen before; I think they actually think I'm attractive.

When they get around me the giggle and even the hottest of girls have begun to notice me.

A lot of them were asking who the new kid was and they have a look of shock when they figure out the new kid is me.

Crowds of them followed around me and my friends.

Leo was the only one of us who hasn't phased yet so he doesn't understand why we're transforming into ripped giants and why we miss a lot of school.

The one girl I had been looking for all day was nowhere to be found, but I knew that I was bound to see her in class.

I was kind of scared to see her in fear that I might imprint, I couldn't imagine imprinting on someone who can't even stand the sight of me.

I've heard how intense imprinting is and I don't want to feel so deeply for someone that is afraid of me.

My new seat is in the back of the class, so I can only see the back of Liza's head.

"Liza… Liza…Liza…" I whisper towards her, but she doesn't move a single bit.

I decide to write a note and throw it her way.

"Liza, I know you hear me."

She opens up the note and drops it so I write her another one.

"I know you read that, please just turn around for three seconds."

She looks at the note and raises her hand.

"May I be excused to the nurse? I'm not feeling well." She asks Mr. Smith.

"Go ahead." He says with monotony.

She walks by me careful not to make eye contact.

I have to think of a way to get out of here and talk to her.

"Mr. Smith my nose is bleeding can I go to the bathroom." I say with my hand over my nose pretending it's bleeding profusely.

"Prove it."

"I can't its bleeding too bad. I don't want to ruin my new shirt." I say desperately.

"Go ahead." Mr. Smith says annoyed.

I rush down the hallway and head into the waiting room of the nurses office and see Liza is sitting there with another girl who blushes when I make eye contact with her.

Liza still hasn't looked at me but it's not going to stop me from trying to explain myself.

"I know you hate me and probably never want to speak to me again, but please just give me a chance to explain myself, that's all I'm asking."

Once again she just looks at the floor and makes no response.

"I'll be waiting outside if you want to talk to me before you leave. If not I understand, I just want a chance to explain myself. Please…I'm begging you, just give me five minutes."

It seemed that I had been waiting outside for forever, but her car was still there so I knew she hadn't snuck away and left yet.

She walked out and walked right passed her eyes never leaving her feet.

I watched her as she continued making distance between us.

She was a few feet away when she stopped.

"Make this quick." She says unemotional.

"I know what happened the other night had to scare you and you think I'm a monster but I'm not. I turn into a wolf to protect people not harm them. I would never hurt anyone. Nothing about my personality has changed only my physical characteristics. I really care about you and I want us to continue to be friends. Please just have an open mind." I plead with her.

"How could we ever be friends? It's because of things like you that I no longer have a brother. There is no way an animal is smart enough to attack and run unnoticed like what attacked my brother. There had been rumors of giant wolves in the woods before he was attacked. It had to be one of you that killed my brother. How could I ever be friends with someone who is a murderer?" She says shakily.

"It wasn't one of us that killed your brother. The way you described the attack, quick and stealthy and a clean bite to the throat, that could've only been one thing, a vampire. I know this sounds crazy but they are real, they are the reason we become wolves. I swear to you that I'm not lying." I say dropping my head and running my fingers through my hair.

She turns around and walks up to me.

"Look me in the eyes and swear on my life that it's true. I have no reason not to believe you, yet. If you really care about me then you'll tell me the truth."

I looked up at her and my eyes widened in an instant.

This was the real deal; I've never felt this before.
