The rain pounded down on the dirt road. The leaves blew in all directions around my feet. It was a crisp early Monday morning. I was dressed in my uniform and had decided to take a walk before classes began. I used to do this all the time, but lately walking alone wasn't something I found myself craving.

I kept a firm grip on my umbrella, not wanting to loose it to the strong winds that blew this morning. Things had been so different lately. The full moon was creeping closer and closer with each passing day. I was starting to worry as to how I was going to show Reid the change. I had not change is so long, I hoped I still could.

As for the witches' powers...well I was starting to get the taste for it. Its kind of fun throwing magic back and forth. I smiled at the fun Reid and I had been having. We spent a lot of time together now. I never thought of us as "dating" we were just friends...with a few benefits.

I laughed aloud, my voice carrying away with the breeze. I picked up almost a skip of happiness, suddenly wanting to get back to Spencer.

I had spare first so I didn't have a class till later. Reid had his swim class with Caleb and the boys today after lunch. "Hummm ... maybe I'll pay him a visit"

From behind me a twig snapped. I froze turning around slowly. I caught a sent... a familiar sent.

"Ulf?" I said quietly.

I herd another tree branch snap and Ulf jumped down form the branches. I knew the rest of his friends were around as well. I could smell then to but decided to keep quiet.

"What are you doing here?" I snarled dropping my umbrella.

He stepped towards me. "Just wanted to see if the rumors were really true. Just wanted to see if MY Vivian was really a witch."

"I'm not your Vivian!" I sapped turning to walk away form him.

He was quicker then I was leaping in front of me blocking my path. I turned around deciding to head back the other way. As I turned I came face to face with two boys...neither of witch I recognized.

"Who are...?" I started

"Vivian if I were you...on the night of the full moon. I would stay inside, because... well if we were to say catch you and you're...warlock out. Well we might just be inclined to show him what a Loup Garoux can really do." Ulf paused reaching his hand into his pocket.

"O...wait we already have." He said holding up a necklace. Reid's necklace. The string was broken and I could see what looked like blood mashed into the black string.

I growled, feeling my teeth lengthen into sharp k-nine's. "If ANY of you...touch him I swear I will kill you all!!" I prepared to let the wolf take over, but instead I felt a newer power take hold.

1My eyes glazed over in a haze of violate flame then erupted into jet black. My left hand tensed up and a think clear ball of pure power sat there in my hand. Awaiting my control. This was something I was begging to love about this power. The ability to control something so strong. No wonder it's so seductive.

I smirked at the looks of fear that crossed the boy's faces. Only Ulf still stood still, a blank look on his face. Okay stupid ass, it's your funnel. I thought.

I let the magic flow through my hands and strait towards Ulf. He was quick, but not quit quick enough. He collided with my power. Knocking him backwards with bone shattering strength. The only thing that stopped him form flying through the air was the tree that he hit.

I heard a sickening crack and saw his hand go up to his ribs. He was gasping for air and looked like he was about to pass out. The other's that had gone form two were now a huge group of maybe twenty or so. They all went over crowing around Ulf.

I took this as an opportunity to get away. I reached down to grab my umbrella and Reid's necklace. I studded it for a second, tears welling up in my eyes.

"You better hurry on home Vivian. Wouldn't want you to find your blond son of Ipswich in any sort of... pain now would we." Ulf snared through clenched teeth as he struggled to sit up. I looked around at the band of boys and noticed a few of them had bloodstains all over their clothes and mouths.

They smirked through bloody smiles, licking their lips with wolfish satisfaction.
