Traumatic, that was the only way to describe what happened to Sky. It left Sky hyperventilating. Cassidy had asked sky to go to a dug store to get some more soap and shampoo. As he was walking from the store to the car park an old lady, who was not paying attention, ran over him. Sky was rushed to the nearest hospital, all the while hyperventilating.
Sky was lying on the white hospital bed when Remus and Sirius came in. Cassidy had come in earlier to see him but She had to go to work. Sirius sat on the bed by sky's head while Remus sat by his chest, so sky could see him easily, and entwined their fingers. The tension was heavy until Sirius had to break it somehow.
"Are you ok?" He asked softly.
"I have broken my leg and I had a panic attack, you tell me if I'm ok," came Sky's moody reply.
"Sorry," He apologized when he realized how mean that sounded.
"It's ok," came softly from Remus, "We understand how much this hurts you."
"No, nothing can ever excuse me for yelling at you guys when you just want to know how to help."
He sighed softly and ran his thumb over Remus' hand and picked his head up and Sirius moved so that sky's head rested in Sirius lap. That was how the doctor found them when he entered the room. The doctor had fiery red hair, but soft brown eyes to offset the harsh hair color. His skin was pale, an unusual trait in the Phoenix area.
"Sky," He said, "You have a broken leg. Luckily we were able to reset the bone and put a cast over it. We plan to keep you here for a few more days and the lady who ran you over is paying the medical bill."
"Thank you Dr." Remus said before the doctor left to continue his duties to the hospital elsewhere.
Eventually Remus and Sirius had to go, but when they did, they promised Sky they would see him the next day and tell the bookstore what happened to him. Sky closed his eyes mournfully when it was time to sleep.

A young boy with plumb eyes and almost white blond hair sat softly under a tree in the extremely small yard. He learned earlier that year that when he sat under the tree and did not get in any one's way, they would not bother him. Sky already knew he was different from the rest although, his eyes were the obvious sign of that. He had gotten his eyes from his mother. He missed her still...
Sky felt the melancholy build up in him and sighed, to get all of it out, he supposed. Sky felt a body sit down next to him softly. Sky took in a deep breath and preparing for the damaging words before he look at the body next to him. Red eyes were the first things he noticed. The honey blond hair was the second and Sky felt his heart clench at the sight of it. It was so like his mothers. The young girl had lightly tanned skin and the dress she wore was a soft mauve. She smiled at sky and Sky couldn't resist smiling back at her.
"Hi, I'm Cassidy. I've been here since I was five. Who are you and how long have you been here?" she asked softly, her voice as light and melodic as the chimes of bells in winter.
"I'm Sky and today marks my first year of being here," replied a sad Sky.
Cassidy smiled at him softly and placed an arm around his shoulder. "You poor kid, the first year is always the hardest, but it'll get better."
"I don't believe that," Sky told her softly, "It can only get worse because of how different I am."
"One day your life will be full of laughter and sweet voices," She said to Sky, her voice and beautiful as always.
Sky smiled at her and leaned back against the tree, his hands behind his head. He never realized that there were people watching them. This was because Cassidy usually kept to herself, never going out of her comfort zone, which was being by herself. What would cause her take interest in someone who hadn't been here that long? What they didn't know was that the wolf in her felt safe around Sky. Sky smelt calming and Cassidy like the loyal wolf she was inside, wanted to be around that in the orphanage surrounded by people who smelt like metal and raw meat.
Cassidy looked up when she heard footsteps approaching. The kid that was coming toward them was a little bulky. He had runner's legs, thick a full of muscle. Cassidy had to swallow hard in order to forget the wolf that made up at least half of her personality. That wolf wanted to go after the kid and see how fast he could run. Of course that would be a bad idea seeing as they were in a school playground and Cassidy would never purposefully expose herself to all the hate that being a half werewolf would be. No one but a crazy person would attempt to tell others. Cassidy was already nervous about telling Sky about her furry problem that came at both half moons.
"Hey, snowy, what cha doing with my girl?" The eleven year old asked. How Cassidy loathed the kid. He believed that he should be the one dating Cassidy even though whenever he asked her out she declined. Could this guy take no for an answer?
"I don't think she's your girl. She declines all of the date offers and she never talks to you. She's hardly your girl. As for me talking to her, I can talk to who ever I want so why don't you just leave us alone," replied Sky.
"No way your dork, she's my girl, she just likes to keep to herself so why don't you leave?"
"I'm not leaving because she approached me and started talking to me. It would be rude of me not to reply or just walk away."
The eleven-year-old boy bristled with anger before walking away from them, so as not to attract attention. Cassidy smiled her thanks at Sky and rested her head on his shoulder. Sky wrapped an arm around her, not minding that she was leaning against him. Sky already knew he was gay so it didn't bother him that Cassidy wanted to be close to him. He smiled softly down at Cassidy. Little did young Sky know that Cassidy would treasure the memory forever. After all, Cassidy became the only person Sky smiled at all for many years.

That night had been the second full moon and Sky was nursing the claw marks on his shoulder. Cassidy told him not to worry about her, that she would get back the room they shared by the time the sun rose and that Sky should not fallow her, but did Sky listen? No, never when he was worried about his best friend. Sky had gone with her to the out of city bounds that the first orphanage they stayed in bordered. Sky watched Cassidy become a wolf and he watched her attack him in something akin to panic. When Cassidy cut him she calmed down and looked at him with apology in her eyes. Sky instantly forgave her. How could he stay mad at the one thing that kept him happy some days.
Sky helped her when she became human again. He carried her to the room that they shared and helped her heal some of the cuts she gave herself before Sky could stop her. Sky had smiled at her as he took care of his own cut that she had given him. The next morning Cassidy apologized to him with tears in her eyes. Sky smiled at her and hugged her close to him. Sky couldn't imagine his life without her in it, as a friend or no. She was the first person he opened up to after all and vise versa. He could never stay mad at her for long.
"So Cassidy, how do explain what you are? I know your not exactly a were wolf," Sky had asked her.
"I'm a half werewolf," She began softly, "I turn on both half moons. On each one I feel only about half the pain a full werewolf would feel. I can turn into a wolf and back whenever I want without it hurting. The only time that I have no control is again on the half moon. The wolf in me takes up about half of my personality that is why I had stuck to myself before I decided to get to know you. I have less control over the wolf in me, and what it can and can't do in public. That eleven year old at the playground, I wanted to see how fast I could get him to run because of his runners legs. Heck, I wanted to chew on those legs. I approached you because you smelt different. You didn't smell like metal and raw meat, you smelt kind of like rain. It's difficult to describe."
Sky had smiled at her and their friendship had only grew strong from that day since all their secrets came out. That day, the agreed never to keep secrets again.
