Chapter 2
Talking to the neighbours
After getting home and throwing me school bag on my table, I was hungry the snack at school wasn't enough to satisfy me. Grabbing a jacket I went outside and walked toward the Conservation Park. The journey was calming as I skipped along, only until I reached to gates did I turn into a wolf. Every day here at 4.00 the keepers feed the wolves, so I use this opportunity to grab some food. The keeper can't count how many wolves are here since pin pointing what wolves have bred with whom. The smell of the meat drove me further, toward the clearing were it gets taken. As I reached the clearing the strange shiver ran up my spine, but my hunger took over and soon I was digging into the meat I had stolen. While I was licking the blood from my paws I saw that five new wolves were digging into the meat. One as white as I but all over, a grey with a scar on its chest, a dark brown that looks quite young with bangles on its right leg, a chubby yellowish brown wolf wearing a collar, the last stayed close to the chubby one and was a blue colour. They were all so beautiful but I was drawn to the white one, and its hypnotizing yellow eyes. When he looked my way, I jumped up and turned away. Although I want to stare at him, a little longer I've been here too long, and I know that only wolf-people like me can breed. It would be really difficult and like wired. Besides I'm more human than I am a wolf. I turned an began my journey back.
Once I got home and back into human form, I decided I wanted to lounge on the patio. Making my way to my bedroom I decided to read out there. Grabbing a book from the self above the desk next to the door, I skipped outside through the double doors opposite the bed. Once I stepped outside the heated breeze flowed around me warming me up. Taking a deep breath of the fresh air I sat on a chair under the house's extended roof. I began to read but my mind was elsewhere flickering from Kiba to the strange yellow eyed mysterious white wolf, as if they had a connection. Sighing I decided I better put the book down since I wasn't reading it. Looking at the mountains and forest area ahead of me, I thought of how a wolf-person like me would feel. Because they don't coop themselves up in human form. ""Hay Cheza." I turned to the voice of my neighbour Gabriella she was smiling at me as usually. Gabriella is well let's just say a very happy and very girly girl.
"What's up, I haven't seen you in a while?"
"Well, my folks took me on holiday and I bought like LOADS of new clothes bags and shoes. Soooo, I need to get red of what I don't need to make room for these new ones. So here" She threw a bag of clothes shoes and bags at me, now I may not be girly but I know when I see something I like.
"Thank, Gabbie. There gorgeous."
"Gabrielle, Time to eat." Her father called
"Well I gotta go, have a look through it. Any thing you don't like; even thought you should like it all, you can give to charity" Waving good bye she strolled into her house.
Looking at the bag in my hands I thought well, Time to take the new look for a spin. Digging through the bag I found a dress and heels to match that I fell in love with. The dress was red and crumply, it was strapless and the crumple went from the middle out and down. The shoes were also red and quite similar to the dress at the front. I put them on and walked over to the mirrors to see what the look like. I gasped at my reflection the dress hugged my body in all the right places and the shoes lifted me from the ground. I twirled around on the spot and smiled. I sighed knowing that, I was never going to have a reason to wear this.
After trying on all the other clothes I found that the red outfit was my favourite. I took a glance at the clock and saw that it was late. When my doorbell rang. Sighing I got up and went through the rooms toward the front door. "Hello" I said when I opened the door.
"Hi, I know it's late but I wanted to tell you that the house, the one next to yours that's not mine?"
"Um, yeah it's closer to mine than your, and nobody lives there."
"Yep that one, well somebody bought it, you have new neighbours"
"So, why did you come to tell me at this time, I thought you were having dinner?"
"Couldn't eat after they to me there taking me out early tomorrow and you know I don't go to your school. Plus my parents surprise me a lot so I might not even come home tomorrow, well goodnight Cheza"
"Night Gabrielle, see you when I see you next" She giggle at my comment and left. Closing the door and turning off all lights as I made my way back to my room. I went outside to look at the house that has just been bought. Then I heard voices coming from the house.
"It's nice here I think we can settle, as long as we keep our cover."
"Whatever you say leader." I stared at the house I think more than two people were in there. As I walked back into the house I thought I saw a dog's muzzle, or maybe a wolfs. I must be tired, maybe they just have a pet dog, I have to be seeing things. Stretching my arms I went toward my chest of draws and took out my pyjamas, closing the curtains on the door I got changed and got into bed taking of my collar and kissing it. I started dreaming.
I was running along a white wolf, our fur gleaming in the light, while the white snow hid him. Only his eyes would be seen, a yellow glow beside me. He ran ahead, and sat on the snow looking up and closing his eyes. I tried running toward him, he opened his eyes and turned away. After taking a few steps he morphed into Kiba, and his brown hair fell over his eyes. He beaconed me toward him, I walked toward him. He clasped my hand in his and leant forward hoping to kiss him. He whispered my name; and then I fell from his grip plummeting through a black void all he did was watch me intently as I fell.
