I am not a normal guy by any means. First off, I have a temper like you wouldn't believe, like blackout rages that end up with me beating people til they went to the hospital. Never knew why I did this to be honest, but I just had to. Of course, natural side effect I tell you, I was placed into Juvie because of this. Yeah, not my finest moment.

Oh I should tell you that My name is Cas, just real quick. I'm thirteen, I stand Five four and am built like am Amazon or Spartan. I have auburn hair and brown eyes, no freckles or blemishes. I have really, really nice skin. Okay, description over, now you should be able to imagine me in your head just fine.

Okay, so others ways I am not normal... lets see... I am prideful as hell and very spiteful. After being put in Juvie at nine for beating my fifteen year old foster brother until his ribs, left leg and wrist were broken, I realized that I had to get some reign over my temper... this may have been a bad choice. Turns out I am really smart and really spiteful, so I started pranking people to punish them. Funny thing, I am a bit too good at it and ended up putting six kids and fourteen staff members in the hospital. I may have caused a Stomach bleed after slipping someone a lot of laxatives...

My bad.

Which leads me to the next odd thing about me, I struggle to care. It took a few shrinks to help me with this, but apparently when I fell justified I willdo anything including things that can be justified as evil. I didn't agree with this at first, but my shrink showed me a list of the injuries I caused... yeah it hit me pretty hard then. I was horrified with what I did, at least partially, so i started attending Yoga, temper classes, deep breathing exercises anything I could. Turns out I can crochet with the best of them, and I am a pretty decent poet. All things I use to distress. Of course, I only found out about crochet after I stabbed someone with the needles, but I digress...

So, yeah, I am the King of over reacting and spite but I am trying to relinquish my throne. It was hard, almost impossible...

And then I found out my weakness, the one thing that helped me more then anything. I love kids. Yeah, who knew right? Well you see I tried to escape juvie and was running when I found a few kids bullying a little boy, and well I may have beat them badly but not enough to put them in the hospital. The Kid mattered most to me... i held him close and kissed his cuts and bruises and just stayed until the Juvie can took me in. My shrink was there but he actually let me stay with the kid til his parents came.

I never did get to see the boy again but meeting him changed me... I never wanted to be a bully like those who hurt him, or those like him. I didn't want a child to be as afraid of me as that kid was his bullies.

So I worked on my temper, on everything actually. I worked harder on my class work, took all of my management classes seriously and did absolutely all I could to make myself better.

If only I knew... how worthless my efforts would be.

" Calm down Cas, you don't want to hyperventilate." Cas just nodded, trying to focus on calming down as his Law Guardian, Dave, said. " Listen kid, I know this is hard but you have to be calm and ready. You've cleaned up your act, taken all of the courses on anger management, started making care packages for charity, taken all of the kids in your Detention center under your wing. You've earned your freedom."

Taking a very deep breathe, Cas sat down. " I know... I just... this is a lot for me. I really, really want this."

Dave just smiled at him kindly, honestly proud of him. He had known Dave for years, the man had practically given up on him until he started to grow up. The man had taken on a nearly fatherly role for him, encouraging him to do and be better. He helped him get into anger management despite his last attempt resulting in him putting two other kids in the hospital. He didn't deserve it, but the man had helped him anyway.

" Thanks, Dave... I, Wait, do you hear a dog?" They both turned towards the sharp keening of a dog, howling loudly. It got louder and louder, huffling along as the sound got closer. The sound made Cas itch, a horrible shudder down his spine. And then it vanished, leaving only the odd sensation of fear in the air.

Dave did't seem to notice the fear, he just shrugged. " Probably a dog got in, last year a few cats managed to get into the building. Birds are always being found in the chandelier during the winter."

Cas didn't believe him, something seemed wrong... but he kept his smile, waiting for his chance to get into the Judges court.

""""

"... Probation for the Next eighteen months, two thousand hours of community service and continual anger management and therapy sessions. Can you agree to this?"

The Judges offer made Cas gulp, but he still managed to nod. " Yes, Ma'am."

Dave stepped forward. " It seems fair, your Honor."

" Very well, you may fill the paper work upstairs with the Probation office. You are dismissed."

Shaking, Cas followed Dave out of the Courtroom with a smile that practically split his face. " Thanks, Dave!" Cas squeezed the man into a hug, actually making the man gulp. Pulling back, Cas scratched his head sheepishly. " Sorry, I forgot I had that Adrenaline thing!" He truly did forget it, but apparently he had a condition that made him produce a lot of adrenaline so he was really, really strong all of the time. Of course it also gave him a really bad temper... so, pros and cons may not be all weighed out.

" It's okay, I get how happy you are. You just got your diagnosis, which really helped your case you know. You proved that it wasn't entirely your fault, Well, that and your diagnosis of Bipolar disorder. It may be what really let you win your case kid."

A little shamed, Cas looked away. It was recent but in addition to that adrenaline thing, he diagnosed with a severe case of Bipolar disorder. It, when mixed with the adrenaline thing, explained his blackout anger. It made it a little easier to forgive himself for all he had done, and gave him some hope that he wasn't so worthless.

" Yeah, I figured... anyway, what now? I mean we are going to sign me out of Juvie, but I don't have anyplace to live."

Dave just smiled at him. " That's not true, I may have arranged for you to attend a private school, it gives us more time for you to find a more permanent summer home. It was hopeful, I admit, but definitely worth it."

" ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" Loud, angry howls filled the room. Cas had about a fifth of a second that to dodge out of the way before a massive hound barreled out of nowhere, ramming into where he was... right into Dave.

" DAVE!" The Man went flying with the dog, slamming hard into the ground and bouncing into wall. His hair fell off, revealing two... Horns? Cas couldn't believe what he was seeing! People screamed and fled, but an odd calm fell over Cas. The world shifted into focus, and he felt his normal anger fill his body. He felt stronger then ever and he had a target to use it against.

In a rush of adrenaline fueled speed, he barreled into the Hound, sending it flying across the room right into the wall. It actually collapsed into shadow, leaving a shadowy pelt in it's place. It so shocking, Cas didn't notice the other Hounds until they bit into his side, dragging him away right into the shadows. Cold pressure, like ripping through the depths of the ocean at mach ten. He couldn't breathe or think, just endure the horrid sensation until it eventually passed.

Then he spilled out, rolling onto the ground away from the horrid hound. Standing, despite the pain and blood, he lashed out with a kick. CRACK! The loud sound echoed across the alley he was in, snapping the damn things neck. It rolled before falling into a puddle.

Adrenaline failed him, and Cas collapsed. He leaned against the alley wall, looking into the sky. ' I am sorry, Dave... I guess I'll see you soon... I hope you can forgive me for not saving you...'

Darkness over took him for a moment... and then he heard a women's voice.

"Not now, My child, today is not your day to die. You have a great future ahead of you. I chose you for a reason after all...' Warmth filled him for a moment before he passed out entirely.
