It had been two weeks since Scarlett had gone to Ben about what she had seen in the woods. Since then, he had made the call to get them inspected and that morning, he had gotten the information he'd been waiting for.

"Hey Scarlett?" Ben walked up to the girl after classes, as she was putting thing into her locker.

"Yeah?" Scarlett turned to look at the King. She looked tired, bags under her eyes, but other than that, she seemed fine. Ben knew she was doing well in her classes, not the top of her class, but she was passing. She and Audrey spent a lot of time together, much to Jane's chagrin, as she had just managed to get in Audrey's clique after years of work, and this new girl just got to jump into it.

"Are you okay?" He asked, worried.

"I'm fine." She answered quickly. "What's up?"

"I just wanted to let you know, the inspector came by the morning, he finished his sweep of the woods."

"Yeah?"

"And he didn't find any wolves. He did, however, find evidence that a wolf had been out there, but he says it looked like it cleared out recently, have you seen one since?"

"No." She admitted. "But I haven't been looking out into the woods much."

"Well the good news is, you're not crazy, there were one out there, but it's gone now."

"And he's sure it's gone?"

"Very, very sure. He is the best we've got, Scarlett, and if the wolf was still out there, he would know it." Ben assured her. Scarlet nodded slowly, looking thoughtful.

"Good… Great." She smiled. "That's probably the best news I have heard in a long time. Thank you." She dropped her bag and hugged the King. He seemed surprise but hugged back.

"No problem, Just remember, if you see anything, tell me, I take it all very, very seriously."

"I will." She promised, nodding rapidly. "I will." She picked her bag back up and headed down the hall. Ben reached out, closing her locker for her, as she'd walked off and left it open.

Scarlett ran down the hall and towards her dorm. No wolves. The wolves were gone. She could relax, she could sleep. She opened the door to the room, throwing her bag to the side, she practically dove onto the bed, closing her eyes as she sank into the soft mattress. She was only there a few minutes before the door opened again and Audrey came bounding in.

"Hey Scarlett." She sing-songed, going to her own bed.

"Hey Audrey." Scarlett replied, her voice muffled by the bed.

"How were classes?"

"Awful, as always." Scarlett answered, sitting up. "But I got great news after class."

Chad asked you out?"

"What?"

"Nothing, what news?"

"Ben said the inspector finished searching the woods, the wolves that were there are gone now." She smiled.

"You were like, crazy worried about that wolf thing, what's up with that?"

"My family has a history of problems with wolves." Scarlett pointed out.

"True." Audrey nodded. "I guess that makes sense but like… you haven't been attacked right?"

"Right… I just have a weird paranoid fear, you know?" Scarlett shrugged. Audrey looked thoughtful."

"Well I'm glad you got such good news, now maybe you'll sleep, you're starting to look insane." She informed her friend.

"Thanks." Scarlett, rubbed her eyes.

"and yet despite that, Chad seems very, very interested."

"Yeah, right." Scarlett laughed. "Prince Charming would never have anything to do with a Country girl with a fear of wolves and a face only a mother could love at this point."

"This Prince Charming seems really into a Country girl with the worst eye bags I've ever seen in my life."

"Thanks, Aud."

"No problem Scar." Audrey grinned, walking over, she sat on Scarlett's bed. "Tell me about the Country. You always avoid talking about it, I want to know what it's like."

"It's really nothing special, I promise. Grandma and I lived on Edon Farms. It was a huge space of land, at least it felt huge when I was a kid, as I got older I learned it was actually pretty small compared to what some other farms had, but whatever." She shrugged. "We had some chickens, an evil goat, all the fun stuff." She crossed her legs up on the bed. "I promise you Countryside isn't all that interesting." She shook her head.

"But I mean, you grew up there, there had to be something good about it."

"Oh, there was a lot of good. I really liked it there. I loved waking up early, feeding the chickens, helping Grandma bake her bread and her pies. I liked going into town for sodas or when we had the occasional event, like the County Fair. That was always fun. It just… I don't think it would be considered interesting compared to what you have going on around here.

"What's a County Fair?" Audrey asked. Scarlett smiled and proceeded to explain to her roommate all about the County Fair and everything that went with it.

By the time the girls had finished talking it was almost midnight, and they were both exhausted.

"I'll shower in the morning." Scarlett decided.

"Me too." Audrey agreed with a yawn, she got up off of Scarlett's bed and headed for her own, the two had stopped talking long enough to get something to eat and change into their pajamas, but now it was late and they were both ready for bed.

"Hey Audrey?" Scarlett pulled the blanket down on her bed, about to get in.

"Yeah?" Audrey paused, looking back at the girl.

"I'm really, really glad I got you for a roommate."

"I'm glad you did too."
