Sorry it took so long again. Ive had a lot going on at th minute. R&R Please - enjoy x

I knew Miles had left. His scent had been wiped away by the rain a few minutes after he slammed my body against the brick wall. Suddenly I started to shiver. I was shaking so much my breath started to get quicker too. Then for a split second there was nothing. No thought, no breathing, no me. Then after that, I could feel my naked body on the wet ground, shaking from the cold, with my torn clothes spread around me...

Jake's Point Of View

I walked back into the canteen and went over to Ryan, Alex and the twins. Everybody wore frowns, especially the twins. Amelia had a few tears dripping from her eyes and Mika was chatting to Ryan in a stressful tone. Ryan looked furious, but with who?

"What's going on?" I said. Ryan sighed heavily and moved to face me.

"Alex ran off somewhere."

"What?" I said, half angry and half worried. "Why? Where did she go?"

"I don't know, outside somewhere? She just got upset that Mika and Amelia are moving to Australia." He huffed.

"You what?"

"They only came back to say goodbye."

"Well no wonder she's upset!" I growled. "Did you even warn her?"

His silence spoke wonders.

"Well at least help me find her!" I yelled, turning on my heel towards the outside picnic area, with Ryan close behind me. "You owe my wife an apology."

Our footsteps pounded against the floor, echoing everywhere. Soon the bell would ring and we would be off to our exam. The rain rattled onto the window, creating more noise. I ran faster, getting closer to the door that leads to the picnic area. I want Alexandra in my arms. What if she was in tears? She probably thought everyone was ambushing her. Poor sweetheart; I would make Ryan pay if he hurt her again!

"Jake!" Ryan's panicked voice echoed as we were footsteps away from the door. "Jake, can't you smell that?"

I was distracted, but as I took a deep whiff, I could smell it too.

Blood.

"Alex!" I shouted as we both bashed through the door. Quickly the rain began to soak through our clothes. The wind blew the smell of blood up my nose. It was mouth watering, especially seeing as I knew who it was. But this only made me sick to see the image before me.

I expected to see Alex crying, but that was it. Maybe I thought she'd fell over, cutting her knee, spilling blood on the soaked ground.

What I certainly did not expect to see was my wife, sprawled on the floor, crushed up against the brick wall that enclosed the picnic area. Her clothes were everywhere, torn and ripped. Blood ran in the water, making the aroma even more intense.

And what made me confused, and even more frightened, was that she was in wolf form.

She was absolutely beautiful. She was thin and sleek. Her fur was completely black, long and smooth, and shined from the little light that came from only the school corridor. But her body was covered in blood.

I ran over next to her and collapsed. Ryan pulled off his t-shirt and covered her shaking body. A sharp whine came from Alex's muzzle, making a large tare in my heart. I was frozen in place while Ryan did his best to warm my wife's shivering body.

"We have to get her inside, Jake." Ryan said calmly, but you could tell he was worried like hell, maybe as much as I was. I was thankful he could pull himself together. "Jake, come on, open the door ready." With a final jerk, I blinked twice and leaped over to open the door. Ryan had already picked up the wolf's fragile body and moved quickly into the corridor. We sped down to the Nurse's office, where everyone rushed to help us. Teachers and pupils swarmed around, watching us with panicked eyes and shouting with quick voices.

Shaking myself, I said, "I can take her now."

"Lets get her on the bed, Jake, so the Nurse can get a little look at her first." I said, but then paused, staring at Alex's face. "Or do werewolves need vets?"

Without another word, we gently slid Alex's new form onto the Nurse's bed and sat by her. I knelt besides her head, smoothing the fur on her paw as she whined while the nurse struggled to check Alex with me being so close. But I didn't want to be away from her. I was positive she was frightened. She had shifted for the first time, after being beaten up and left in the freezing cold rain! I would kill Miles in the slowest, most painful way possible, as long as it wouldn't hurt Alexandra.

But what got me wondering was the fact that it was somehow possible for Alex to form. After all, I had witnessed her placing her school wristband this morning, and still it was on right beside her paw. The school Wristband System was set up so that all students would be safe. The metal on the outer shape somehow prevented students to behave naturally, meaning Vampires could not extend their fangs, Shape shifters could only stay in their true form and, supposedly, werewolves could not shift. The supernatural's government scientists handed these out to the few schools that allowed people like us to attend. Was there something wrong with the Wristbands? Or was there, and I hoped to god not, was there something wrong with my wife?

"There we go – all better!"

"Thank you Mrs Snape."

"You better get this young one home." The nurse's voice whispered gently. "He seems like a keeper."

My beautiful Alex laughed lightly as she replied, "Well I'm kinda stuck with him – he's my husband."

"Well congratulations! I'll leave you two alone."

"Thanks again." And with that, I heard the nurse walk out into the corridors. Alex moved around a little as I brought my head up from the bed and shook off my long slumber.

Her breathtaking eyes fixed on me and her perfect lips twitched as the corner of her mouth moved up in a cute smile. Suddenly I was fully awake; I jumped up from my position and stood in front of my wife. She was alive. She was in human form again.

We watched each other, not making a sound at all. She brought her delicate fingers up to my cheeks and cupped my face. I drew in a long breath.

"I thought I'd lost you." I said almost silently.

She smiled timidly. "Well you haven't." She jumped off the table and waved. "See?"

I stared vaguely.

"Hello." She giggled sarcastically.

I sat down slowly. I looked her over with my tired eyes. She was wearing a dressing robe. All her clothes had been torn and soaked in the rain. I ran my fingers through my hair as my eyes moved down to her bare legs.

Alexandra grinned. "Don't even think about it."

Stepping closer to me shyly, she then frowned as I didn't sweep her up instantly in my arms like I usually would.

"Jake, you...you do realise this is still me, right?" she murmured. "I mean, I haven't changed."

I opened my mouth, and then closed it again. She sighed as she made her way into my lap and curled her body to fit mine. She turned her head to look at me.

"You're going to kill him, aren't you," She stated. I nodded slowly. "I don't even know if I don't want you to."

"Why would you not want me to?" I said angrily. "Do you not realise that you almost died tonight? Again!"

"Jake, honey, he's still my maker!"

"Yes, he is. And he really showed his loyalty to you when you where face down on the ground, bleeding to death."

Suddenly she got up and walked out the door sharply. I followed her in silence as she walked out of the doors and on her way to our house. As soon as we got inside, she flittered up to the bedroom and fell on the bed, curling up in a small ball. I joined her and ran my fingers gently down her sides. The window let in the moonlight and shone over our bodies, making them appear paler than ever. My wife was absolutely breath taking. It took all my will not to yank her on top of me as the thin robe fell from her shoulders and more of her flesh was showing.

"I'm sorry if I upset you love." I whispered, kissing her bare shoulder.

"I'm not upset," she reassured me, but didn't move. "I just don't understand."

Confused, I pulled her shoulder, turning her over so I could see her face. She was frowning but tried to smile at me.

"Understand what?"

I moved closer to her, kissing down the side of her arm, pulling the dressing robe with it. She sighed lightly in delight and brought her body closer to mine.

"He said that there is a war coming. And when it does, I'll have to pick a side because, well, he said only one species will survive." She mumbled. "What's going to happen? Is this why The Twins are leaving permanently?"

"Shh, Alex, think nothing of it. This is what he wants." I took her hand in mine and kissed it once, twice, three times. Her eyes fluttered shut. "He wants you to be worried. But don't be. If anything does happen with the super-naturals, you know I will never let you be harmed."

She moved into my body, pressing her fragile hands on my chest and leaning in to kiss me.

I'll die before anything happens to you again. I promise.

Any ideas? Good or bad? Let me know - i'm nice, i promise x
