Maddy

"Did you do it?" The voice sent a shiver up my spine. I would know it anywhere. Whitewood. The eerie voice echoed my head. The figure only nodded. Whitewood grinned, "Good," she began to walk away.

"Wait," Whitewood turned to look at the figure. She raised her eyebrows, clearly not impressed, "You kept your end of the deal?" Whitewood threw her head back in laughter.

"Never, werewolf,"

I sat up breathing hard. Cold sweat trickled down my forehead and my chest thumped from the intense beating of my heart. I wiped a clammy hand across my forehead, noticing the ink that stained them. I had never nearly wolfed out in my sleep before. I was relieved to see my bedroom and not a damp, stuffy den when I looked around. I let out a sign of relief. It was just a dream. I told myself as I wrapped the blankets around myself and shut my eyes. But Dr Whitewood's laugh was stuck in my mind. Every time I almost drifted into sleep my dreams were contorted by her evil grin.

"She's gone, she's done, she's NOT here," I whispered to myself in a desperate attempt to go to sleep. But it was all in vein.

3rd Person

Dr Whitewood scrolled down the screen and smiled. Soon, she would have everything she needed. As soon as she had a raw DNA sample there would be nothing that could stand in her way. And she would get that soon enough. The werewolf would come, soon enough. Everything had gone according to plan. She had managed to convince the werewolves that she had moved to New Zealand and given up on her research. Really? Rebecca Whitewood? Give up on a project? No chance. And the werewolves had come running back home, when they thought they were safe. How wrong they were. Someone coughed behind her. Whitewood turned and smiled when she saw a pretty teenage girl with green eyes and straight blonde hair standing with black pulsing across her hands.

"Ah, Sophie," The girl snarled when the doctor said her name, "How nice to see you," she added, sarcastically. She looked the girl up and down, her eyes zoning in on her hands, "You'd better calm down. One video and I could expose you, remember?" she asked in a sickly sweet tone. The blood faded and Sophie controlled her snarls. Whitewood's expression changed and she was serious, "You got what I wanted?" Sophie nodded, reluctantly, "And they bought the story?"

"Every word," Sophie murmured, though she sounded unsure. She knew Maddy wasn't convinced. But she would never breathe a word to Rhydian, not unless she had proof.

"So?" Dr Whitewood shrugged, "Did you do it?" Sophie nodded, "Good," she said walking away to check the diagrams.

"Wait," Whitewood turned. Sophie gulped, "I've... I've changed my mind. Take me, leave Rhydian and Maddy alone!" Whitewood smiled.

"So now you'd risk everything to save your brother and his girlfriend. How sweet," Sophie growled, "Unfortunately, you are no good to me. Your DNA only shows up 28% wolf. That 28% could be caused by cross-contamination. I either need your brother or your precious 'care home' to have the evidence I need," Salt tears burned down the cub's face, "I thought so," and the doctor carried on scrolling through her charts.

Sophie ran out of the lab. By the time Whitewood had reacted Sophie was already halfway down the corridor and speeding out of the building. Realising that running down stairs was getting her nowhere she ran to the nearest window and leapt out. She had under estimated the fall and she tumbled to the earth trying to think of the best way to land. She rolled after hitting the ground and pain erupted in her right wrist. But she had no time for that. Aware her eyes were blazing green and her cheeks and hands had black creeping up them she ran towards the nearest woods, her head pounding from the noise of the town. Letting her nose lead the way she powered through the woods. She had to find Maddy and Rhydian before it was too late.


Maddy

My alarm clock went off at quarter to seven even though it was a Saturday. I was sprawled across my bed when I heard a tapping at my window. I ran over to the window, knowing that Rhydian was here.

"Maddy!" I smiled. He had remembered when he had come to my house in the middle of the night that time... I would never forget... "Maddy!" I blinked hard. I was still half asleep,

"Rhydian?" I replied, opening the window and drawing the curtains. He looked worried.

"Sophie's missing. I don't know where she's gone and her scent just leaves me running in circles..." I couldn't help feeling disappointed. Jealously surged through me. I couldn't bare it. I felt so guilty. Even if I thought Sophie was hiding something it didn't mean I should be jealous of her. But I was. Rhydian had come to my house to talk about Sophie.

"I have no idea, Rhydian," I shouted, slamming the window with such force I almost shattered the glass. I stomped over to my bed and flopped onto it head first. It was only then I heard the cries.
