Chapter IV









"I'm sorry, Makia, please understand."

"Oh, I understand. You're afraid that I will endanger the students, but Chiron, I have no where else to go."

"I am not afraid that you will endanger the students, I'm afraid the wolf will. I am sorry, Makia I can't help you here." Chiron looked down helplessly. "I wish I could help you, but I have to put the rest of them first. I'm so sorry."

"What if there was a way to calm the wolf down or something?"

"I don't know Makia."

"How long do I have to leave?"

"I'll give until the next full moon."

"I understand..."

"Untill then you are confined to your quarters after supper."

"Yes, sir." I stood up slowly and left his office. When I stood outside of his office I found Xena

" So what did he say?"

" He wants me gone before the next full moon. I don't know what to do." We started to walk.

"Wait!!" Xena said stopping me.

" You actually told him!?"

" Well, what else was I going to do? I am a danger to everyone. And even if I lied to him, he would keep on extra special eye on me during the full moon. Eventually he would find out."

"You got a point. Oh, Herc was looking for you. He wanted..."

"Hay, Makia!" Xena and I both turned around to see Herc running down the hall. He was trying to catch up with us.

"See ya later." Xena whispered.

"What? Your not leaving me?!"

"Jason wants me to hang out in his room tonight. To..um..have fun..."

"What!?" Xena walked away.

"Hay Makia."

"Oh hay...Herc...What's up?"

"Well I was just wondering if You were up to working on the poem tonight."

"I don't know Herc. I've had an awful day. Besides, Jason and Xena are going to be 'busy'... I don't want to interfere. In fact, I don't want to be in a 10 mile radius."

"I know, that's why I was hoping we could do it in your room."

I stopped dead in my tracks.

Is he for real

"What?"

"The poem, your room...hello? Are you sure your ok?"

"Wha...Yes...I'm fine...I'm just out of it. Like I said. Bad Day."

"Are you sure?" Herc's face was full of concern. He placed a hand on my arm.

"Yes, I'm positive. Besides, how's Ashley anyway?"

"Oh, didn't you hear? She went back home today. Her brother Endevi is takeing her place.

"Endevi! Coming here?!"

"Uh, yeah..."

I was excited. Endevi, like Ashley, was a really good friend of mine. Before I became a werewolf I used to live near them. He and I used to rough house all the time. The bad thing was the fact that Endevi bit me. Yes, Endevi was a werewolf. Rumor was that Endevi knew how to control the wolf during the full moon. He could also transform outside of the full moon in full awareness of himself.

"This is great! When will he get here?"

"I don't know, A few days?"

"Great!!"

"Well, anyway, Can we?"

I lifted an eyebrow.

"Can we what?"

Herc sighed and growled. "The poem, Makia, the poem....!!"

"Oh! Right! Don't fuss at me, I told you..."

"Yes, I know, Bad Day. "

"Uh, yeah, um stop by in a few. I gotta clean up a bit."

"Ok, See ya later?

"Later..."

I can't believe this...!!!
