Can I say a massive epic thanks to everyone and anyone who reads this story :D You lot are so epic! And to one reviewer- i am not so sure how many chapters there may be but if anyone wants to tell me how many chapter there should be then I will think over what I write- and feedback or any plot ideas welcome too! THANK YOU! Also to those guys who will watch series 3- even if you watch all the episodes or not, if Mads isn't in it, then PLEASE watch it, if she is then watch it- just that if no one watches it because Maddy isn't in it, or only in half a series or whatever, then there will be bad ratings and there won't be a series 4- and it is really popular, and there could potentially be a series 4 if we all love it- if anyone knows people who don't know wolfblood or whatever then get them to watch it- I know everyone knows this, but wolfblood is all in our hearts- and there should be a million series but it all counts down to us and the BBC, I'll shut up now but thanks...
"Maddy, Rhydian! Come on, how old are you? Calm down!" Miss Parish nags as Maddy leaps off the steps of the mini bus closely followed by Rhydian. The playfully push and shove each other, as Maddy's wolf takes over. Seeing as it is her first transformation... Maddy crashes into Rhydian and he spins her around by the waist laughing.
"What's up with you, Mads?" Tom demands, ignoring the whole Rhydian thing. The awkwardly step over to their new/old/ renewed best friends smirking.
"Nothing. I'm just excited." Maddy rapidly says, Rhydian grin grows wider. He may not be planning to spend the night with Maddy but he had other ideas.
"What's everyone doing when we get back? Mum's just hatched some chicks and you have to see them." Shannon exclaims, laughing in her geeky fashion.
"Sorry, Shan. I'm going round Maddy's." Rhydian announces, Maddy frowns slightly perplexed.
"Sorry..." Maddy excuses as she drags Rhydian to a corner by a tree.
"What are you talking about, you aren't coming over." Maddy harshly puts.
"No but if it looks like you are getting ordinary visits on a full moon Mads, no one will suspect a thing- use that brain of yours." Rhydian mutters, as he walks away; patting Maddy shoulder sympathetically.
"Oh, yeah Lee- I mean Rhydian." Tom interrogates.
"Yeah, it''s the science Tom -I need help, and I thought Maddy could help, seeing as she likes it and Shan is doing something else." Rhydian denies, feigning the worst smile ever.
"About cloning sheep and stuff. Race yer!" Maddy shouts and she darts past them, Rhydian on her heels, slowly loosing his stamina as he chases her round the 3k's in glee.
"OK that was odd, Rhydian didn't even know I had chicks and he got an A for his science mock too -even if he does look uneducated." Shannon blindly insults.
"Maybe Rhydians a perfectionist, I dunno but I want to hear about monks having their heads chopped off in that story you were going on about so come on." Tom urges.
The soon arrive to the decrepit Lindisfarne castle, Maddy reluctantly steps in, feeling her familiar sense of claustrophobia kick in. Maddy tugs at Rhydian's arm, not baring to step forward.
"There's too many people here- I have to get out." Maddy whispers, a scaly lump forming inside her bare throat. Rhydian meekly nods, they discretely leave cagily. Maddy crowds over the stone balcony of the roof and heaves in the fresh wan air, feeling the smooth breeze roll over her face.
"That night in the cellar's not looking too good now, is it?" Rhydian asks.
"It's going to be horrible! I don't know how me parents do it. It ain't natural to lock ourselves away, to weaken our wolf." Maddy groan,s resting her head on Rhydian's shoulder.
"You'll do it somehow, can't you just be a rebel again?" Rhydian responds, and they laugh. Maddy steps away as she hears the distinct sound of footsteps get clearer and clearer.
"Oh look who's here- the loosers. You two missed the best bit! Monks getting their heads chopped off, Tom was laughing his head off so I gave him a Chinese burn to shut him up- it was brilliant! It reminded me of you actually Maddy." Jimi yells as he stroll towards the couple, a distasteful smirk shines brightly on his face and Rhydian groans in annoyance- anything but Jimi.
"Well I am becoming vegetarian so, I think it is offensive 'pal'." Maddy lies, growling. Rhydian's frown lights up a bit and he chuckles, gaining death glares from both.
"Sorry Mads, your decision an' all..." Rhydian mutters.
"I thought you hate vegetarians Maddy? You love your meat- well when you were my friend, you like meat anyway. Now you've gone off with him..."
"Look. You started this- trying to blackmail us then you punched Rhydian in the face, what do you expect- just stay out of me head!" Maddy screams, Rhydian looks down to notice mild coal veins squirming up and down her hand. Hastily, Rhydian slips his hand into Maddy's and puts it behind his back affectionately, feigning a smile making Jimi cringe.
"Well I think I am going to leave before I am sick- again." Jimi maliciously murmurs before scooting off. Maddy and Rhydian heave with relief.
"And breathe Maddy."
"Well what do you think I am doing- holding me nose!" Maddy fires, letting go of her grip on Rhydian's hand.
"Look Mads, I know you are scared about it all, I would." Rhydian consoles, shrugging.
"So what what do we do? Me instinct is telling me it's too scary, to even try, to go in some crowded space and spend a night in my parents cosy den?" Maddy asks seriously, looking straight through Rhydian's soul. Rhydian looks at the clouded view, as the natural barren landscape nauseates him.
"When I was in care, I thought people around me were lying all the time. I got so angry because I felt alone, I had no friends because I chose to have none. I thought people were doing bad things, trying to make me feel upset or think in a certain way. So eventually my fear of people grew and I used fighting as a way of scaring people- that just made it worse. But I wouldn't listen, no one would want to be my friend- but I had to overcome that Mads you know?" Rhydian confessing, barely audible for any wolfblood, let alone a wolfblood.
"That must have been terrible." Maddy whispers direly.
"But what I mean is. Maddy. Imagination is far more powerful than the logical brain. I knew there was no danger in teacher pets or social workers because they were trying to help. We know there is no danger, stood on a roof, or being in a crowded room, but still the brain thinks that- your wolf thinks that or whatever." Rhydian explains.
"So how did you overcome your problem then?"
"I haven't- I still feel sick being on this roof." Rhydian says lightheartedly, Maddy remains quiet as they amble back downstairs, the wind slicing at their skin.
After an hour, it is lunchtime. Maddy and Rhydian sit with Tom and Shannon- Jimi keeping a watchful eye on the wolfblood. Rhydian kicks Maddy in the leg as she is about to wolf down the chicken leg neatly slotted in her hand. Maddy's face drops 10ft and she chucks the leg at Rhydian; only for him to drop it and for Shannon and Tom to laugh.
Casually, Maddy and Rhydian walk across the beach, hand in hand as they watch the ripples in the water shimmer like pure gold. They had stopped trying to search for the answers on their work sheet and only managed to three answers in two hours. Maddys heart is tugging at her, her wolf pumping through her elasticated veins as the energy sweeps over her like a fountain.
"This would be a brilliant place to spend full moon." Maddy states, her heart pumping desire.
"Yeah, on an island what could be safer for you?"
"Running on the beaches, playing in the ruins. It would be amazing."
"So why don't you do it!"
"Rhydian, I can't me parents are expecting me home in their private bolthole." Maddy grumbles.
"Yeah but aren't you a rebel- if I were you I would find another way of spending full moon if that's what you want. You have always let your instincts take over, why do it on the one night you can be yourself?"
"It's more than just instincts Rhydian, it's not natural for wolfbloods to lock ourselves away at night. When I was seven I skewered me foot on a garden fork, I had to wait all day for some doctor in Scotland to come over, after that I needed to escape and at night I saw something, I saw Shannon's beast. Me parents haven't told us about wolfbloods that run wild, they wanted me to go tame and years I have gone against the thought, they are trying to trap us in that den of theirs. You don't know what it's like, that instinct to be free. It's just wrong to lock ourselves away over full moon." Maddy rants. Rhydian grabs a pebble and chucks it into the crashing smoldering waves.
"I may never get what it is- to be a wolfblood an that, but I know you shouldn't be afraid of who you are! I wish I was a wolfblood, it would be sweet!" Rhydian exclaims.
"So what I refuse?"
"No- you don't do verbal action, it gets you nowhere. No you take action- you do something." Rhydian says smirking as the tide rumbles away beside their worn out feet.
(Meanwhile)
"And isn't it convenient, Rhydian staying at her place? They are so dating.." Tom grouses as he walks along with Shannon in the church, scrutinizing the place for profound clues.
"Don't start that again, Tom!" Shannon groans, only just starting to get the clan together like old times with Maddy, and now Tom had to mess it all up.
"Didn't you see that smirky knowing looking when he mentioned that he's studying with Maddy?"
"So what are you saying? They are a couple or what?"
"No, Rhydian's only just got here they wouldn't be officially a couple- just dating." Tom adamantly yells, causing Shannon to jump with astonishment.
"Tom it's been three months since he got here!" Shannon fires back, finding the next couple of clues beside her. Tom snorts with disbelief, jealously and distaste sliding of his face like hot clammy beads of dew.
"You're off your head, Shan!"
"Have you got a better opinion? "
"We're teenagers and when a boy and a girl spend too much time together they get closeish bonds, and that is all Maddy and Rhydian have simple stories to tell, they have no special thing between them or history or a dark secret they share- they just have friendly banter and are attracted to each other and they can not be dating!" Tom argues, Shannon sighs starting to give up.
(meanwhile...)
"Idiots, ahoy! What you doing, Jimi? Stealing the crabs lunch money?" Maddy shouts, as her and Rhydian saunter towards them, the wind fluttering in their sliced faces.
"They haven't got any they're feeling the pinch!" Jimi jeers, Sam and Liam laugh. But Rhydian and Maddy brush it off, no matter how rubbish the joke was.
"Very funny Jimi. Not." Maddy sarcastically replies feeling the vexed rage spit in her face. Jimi snarls, and snatches Maddy's bag off her, he flings it on the roof that is only a couple of meters high. Everyone laughs idiotically, the wind howling louder, as the sun begins to lurk in the shadows.
"Go fetch, Maddy." Jimi goads, Maddy raises her hands up casually with a face on her like she just ain't bothered. Rhydian eyes her carefully- wolfblood or not. Maddy leaps onto the roof, landing in a stable position and begins to muck around, walking humourously and hopping on one leg.
"What's she going up there for? Liam ridicules.
"Getting some exercise I think, I mean look at the size of her." Jimi retorts, even Rhydian can't hold a smile.
"Come on Maddy, don't have time for this." Rhydian groans, holding the work board even tighter
"Yeah, listen to your precious boyfriend." Jimi remarks. Maddy ignores them both and stumbles across roughly- up until she trips over and smashes to the ground, her body in a muddy heap. Rhydian jumps in horror and dashes to her side, as she clutches her ankle in 'agony'. Jimi and his cronies freeze in terror, as Maddy's cries worsen.
"Maddy, MADDY! Don't you dare move her. She might have broken a bone! Just go get help! Go!" Rhydian commands, all three boys sprint off, Sam going the wrong way at one point. Maddy sniggers as she hears the faint echo of Mr Jeffries's name being screamed out at the historian.
"Well Maddy, I think if your photography doesn't work out, then you should really be an actress." Rhydian compliments grinning, affectionately cupping Maddy's cheek.
"You too Rhydian."
(Meanwhile)
"Surprise, Rhydian, no Maddy; probably smooching on the beach somewhere." Tom grouses, the certainty in his husky voice making Shannon worry even more. The disquiet on her face twists into a cagey wily one, as they trudge outside the Church; back to the school mini bus.
"OK to soothe your pained mind Thomas about the two loved up teenagers we know as Maddy and Rhydian we will work this out. What we need is now on, we stick to them like glue on the bus, at school, after they go, we'll find evidence, or they'll get so fed up with us they have to start talking! Agreed?" Shannon concocts, Tom's face brightens up, as colour rushes to his skin their minds ticking like clocks.
"Agreed!" Tom concurs, nearly screaming.
(meanwhile...)
"You need to get to the bus really slow Mads, or we will be too early." Rhydian decides, licking his dry grubby lips in anticipation and out of habit. Maddy nods affirmatively, but doubt and anxiety churns in her empty stomach.
"Will you be alright tonight?" Maddy inquires, her sharp teeth tugging at her blood riddled lips furiously.
"Yeah, I'm not the one transforming."
"But what if you wanted to be at home and I will of messed it up for you- I won't do that to you." Maddy adamantly mutters, Rhydian laughs bashfully and rolls his strained obstinate eyes in exhaustion over this girl.
"No Mads, I promised I would be there for you, and I will Maddy. Can't get rid of me that easily as I'm not going anywhere, I'm going to make sure you get through this." Rhydian declares, Maddy leans in awkwardly and they gingerly kiss, the salt from the sea singing their eyes- but who cares?
(Meanwhile...)
Panic stricken, Jimi darts to the purring mini bus, heaving and wheezing. Sam and Liam follow behind guiltily as Timothy stands, astonished. Jimi collects his breath, before harsh murmurings echo the bus. Tom and Shannon shoot each other concerned looks to each other for an extremely long, long time.
"Maddy's hurt! She fell off a roof!" Jimi shouts, half collapsing. Mr Jeffries flings off his bag and leaps out of the bus (in human style).
"Keep everyone on the coach!" Mr Jeffries orders to Miss Fitzgerald, Shannon and Tom stand up alarmed. As the storm brews a wave of collected thoughts.
"Tom, Shannon, sit down!" Miss demands.
"But, Miss!" Shannon whines with some attitude.
"Let Mr Jeffries deal with it." The drama/ English teacher fires back. The two humans slump back on their dust bitten seats.
Mr Jeffries jogs towards the scene with Jimi and c.o, Maddy and Rhydian looking like their homework was just eaten by the household dog. The history teacher inspect Maddy's leg, with her 'wincing' here and there- Jimi turns away in shame, how could he provoked this?
"OK, it doesn't appear to be broken. Rhydian take her other arm." Mr Jeffries softly says, hauling Maddy up with great strength.
"But the tide, sir!" Maddy rapidly says, clutching onto Rhydian for her dear life.
"It's all right I told you all to be back at the bus 15 minutes early and if we hurry up, we can still make it." "Jimi, come on!" Mr Jeffries adds meters ahead, as Jimi just stands there, not sure how to act.
A few minuets later, Mr Jeffries approaches the mini bus and straps Maddy in, Rhydian close behind, Jimi jumps in as the school children gawk at him in disbelief. Mr Jeffries slams the door sharply, and gets into the front, Miss already driving ahead. The road becoming blurred and foggy as silver balls of water vapour block their way. A long oblong shape blocks their way and eventually everyone can observe it- the clear distinctive letter- STOP. Panicked yells sweep across the room, making Maddy doubtful of what she's done.
"Everyone calm down." Mr Jeffries screams, but the hollering doesn't stop.
"Sir! Next low tide, midnight?!" Kara says in a disquiet tone; Maddy and Rhydian glance at each other smirking.
"There's no way out tonight." Mr Jeffries consoles.
The mini bus parks off by an old decrepit hotel, and everyone reluctantly leaves the bus, Rhydian carrying Maddy in bridal style, Tom gawks at them like it is front page news making Shannon ridicule him even more.
"Stop looking at those two, and get your own life Tom." Shannon advises as the go into the main room where the warmth engulfs them all over. Rhydian places Maddy on a regular sized couch carefully, both of them giving each other all knowing loving glances here and there. The blinding light flickers in everyone's eyes, as boredom kicks in.
"Quiet! Quiet, please! I've spoken to the head teacher, and we've taken the decision that we are going to stay here overnight and go back first thing in the , the hotel can squeeze us all in yay! But it's going to be three or four to a gather your things, please and we'll allocate you a room." Mr Jeffries orders, Shannon and Tom sigh, feeling the buzz if sharing a room with the 3K's kicking in delightfully.
"Operation Stick Like Glue? Yeah, right! We've lost Maddy already!" Tom grouses, Shannon doesn't reply, she just sighs louder.
Rhydian gently hauled Maddy up, and they trotted out of the room for fresh air. Maddy fished out her battered phone from her pockets and they headed to near a window in relief- silence was all that they could hear. Rhydian's senses sharpened to the best ability a human can ever achieve; as Maddy traps the all important numbers on her phone whilst stretching out her obstinate leg in relief. The phone vibrates rapidly making Maddy jump, she hastily takes the call.
"Hey Mam, I can't walk can't walk, we're stuck on an island, and Jimi's on me case all of the time!" Maddy rants.
'Don't panic. You will be fine once you transform. The full moon heals almost anything in a Wolfblood. But you'll have to have to be out of the village by 8:30."
"Alright, bye." Maddy quickly responds, her heart thumping louder and louder inside her puny rib cage, her palms become sweat infested, and hot melting beads of dew trickles down her clammy forehead- Maddy has lied before, but no something as big as this...
"Wait Maddy- this wasn't a plan was it?" Emma cautiously asks, Maddy discontinues pacing back and forth, her muscles tense and her chest concave's ;Rhydian frowns and stares at Maddy worriedly, what's gotten into her?
"What are you talking about, I would never do anything like that ever. Mam, Dad trust us on this one." Maddy hurriedly replies before pressing the dial to end the call, Rhydian comes up to Maddy wearily, but Maddy takes no notices she just gawps into oblivion. Rhydian nudges Maddy's arm anxiously, but no response.
"Maddy, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, just forget it." Maddy snaps, marching off , Rhydian shrugs and smirks and Maddy walks back to Rhydian, both of them preparing for her to limp for the next couple of hours.
Everyone is allocated to a room, Rhydian and Maddy separate and Maddy begrudgingly follows Miss Fitzgerald to her cramped room. Dust stings Maddy's raw eyes as Miss cranks open the rusty door with ease. The rattling of a boiler rumbles willingly. It is the only noise there is.
"Not exactly luxurious, but if you really can't manage the stairs." Miss says, eyeing Maddy suspiciously, Maddy shoots her a perplexed glare, feeling the wolf set fire to her intoxicated veins- bliss.
"Whatever, thanks and all that. I'll be fine, miss." Maddy sarcastically remarks.
"I am not an idiot Maddy, one wrong move and you'll be walking home OK?" Miss warms, distaste spread across her face, Maddy glares at her fiercely, deeply vexed.
"Is that a threat, cause I can get you done for that."
"No, no- just saying, well enjoy Miss Smith." Miss retorts.
"I will." Maddy coldly puts, she watches Miss F stroll out of the room with pleasure slamming the door behind her, making Maddy's skin shiver. Maddy grins and dumps her bag beside her 'wounded' foot.
"Private room, job done!" Maddy mutters to herself. A knock on the door disturbs her serenity, Maddy opens it slowly, to reveal Tom smiling. Maddy smiles softly and open the door slightly wider, although Tom barges in gratefully.
"Hey Maddy, it is about you and Rhydian..." Tom begins, Maddy freezes on the spot once more today.
(meanwhile)
"There you go, boys." Mr Jeffries exclaims, as Jimi leads Sam and Liam into a spacious room beside the group. Rhydian stares longingly at the single room beside him, however Mr Jeffries edges closer to that room as well.
"So I'll go in there?" Rhydian questions rudely.
"No, that's reserved for another guest. You'll have to go in with Jimi, Sam and Liam. Off you go, your'e just like Maddy- bad attitude." Sir witters on, Rhydian groans and reluctantly walks into Jimi's room, all three of them hanging on the edge of the bed, jumping up and down making the springs creak. The laughter abruptly halts, and Rhydian shoves his hands inside his pockets- this will be fun.
"Oh, look, it's Maddy's boyfriend." Jimi accuses.
"Whatever Jimi." Rhydian says, plodding to the far corner available in the room.
"She fell because she was showing off to you! Your one true love, she hurt her petite frame just to make your feel inferior- I mean imperial." Jimi goads, Rhydian clenches his hands even tighter. Liam and Sam shoot daggers at the lost boy.
"So it's your fault we're stranded in with you." Sam blames.
"No clean clothes- I'm not just a pretty face you know." Liam adds, everyone burst into laughter (well apart from one). Jimi gets out his deodorant and begins to spray near Rhydian, his nose shriveling in disgust.
" It's not my-" Rhydian starts, but his sentence is shattered by him sneezing roughly, his throat feeling like it is on fire in a sand put.
"Oh, great! It's Allergy boy brilliant, go and sleep in the corner where the barn owls go." Jimi commands.
"You- don't get -barn- owls- in -a hotel." Rhydian says, rubbing his nose as it aches and his glands scrape against his dry throat.
"Oh yeah I forgot, your face just reminded me of one. Now scoot." Jimi retorts, and Liam and Sam start giggling again making Jimi feel top dog once more.
"Jimi can we go now, there's a games-room downstairs. I heard Shannon wanting to complain about those poor animals. Such a looser..." Sam murmurs, Jimi nods and him and his little pack strut out, leaving Rhydian to get away- that part is the easiest thing to do anytime.
Maddy taps her dry hands on her legs impatiently, as she checks her watch continuously. Quickly Rhydian zooms in the room and closes the door behind him with relief of getting away from that room.
"Rhydian -where've you been?" Maddy demands as Rhydian crumples on the bent bed.
"I got an allergic reaction to some spray Jimi was using, bunch of loosers themselves." Rhydian growls.
"Look I know we are a hypocrite, but don't let them get to you."
"OK you are a massive hypocrite now." Rhydian comments, both of the laugh, Rhydian feels the grin tug at the ends of his dry cracked lips again- always Maddy.
"I need to be out of the village by 8:30."
"OK- meet you by the boat sheds?" Rhydian inquires, Maddy's face twist into an uncertain expression.
"What?"
"OK I may not be transforming, but come on- I want to be with you for as long as possible, you are not transforming by yourself." Rhydian consoles, Maddy kisses rhydian on the lips and sighs, half smiling and rests her head on Rhydian's content glowing shoulder.
"If you say so- your'e the Alpha..."
By eight, everyone had gotten sick of Shannon's ghost story as all left the main room. Rhydian remains quiet quivering faintly, still clenching Maddy's hand so hard it would hurt for a normal human.
"You were scared weren't ya?" Maddy ridicules.
"No way, I was cold that's all, dogs are cute- ghost dogs give me the chills. Me scared- yeah right." Rhydian denies, brushing it away but Maddy raises her eye brow amusingly.
"If you say so Rhydian, but I could detect your heartbeat and it was hitting through the roof- more like smashing it to smithereens."
"OK but don't go telling Jimi, he's like James Bond on a mission- wanting to know my every move, or get me down." Rhydian whispers biting his saliva caked lip.
"They will hang around near you, follow you, and annoy you- Sam and Liam will follow." Maddy informs.
"Yeah because that's what mates do if your'e Jimi's friend."
Carefully, Rhydian Maddy go into the K's room to meet up with Shannon, who is silently packing her things away as Kara applies her minimum make up to her blemished face.
"No cleanser, no toner. My skin's going to end up worse than yours! OH Rhydian! Sorry, I thought it was Sh- no one." Kara explains nervously, ignoring the fact that Maddy Smith is standing right beside him.
"I see.."
"I can't stand being with Shannon, can I move into your room Rhydian?" Kara pleads, Maddy snarls feeling like the whole entire worlds is going to eat her whole.
"Well I am with Jimi and stuff, and you're a girl- I am a boy." Rhydian explains, Maddy rolls her eyes with exhaustion- Rhydian is never one to explain well.
"Yeah, but-"
"Shove off Kara, go back your fairy world where no one belongs!" Maddy shouts, Kara laughs displeased, and Rhydian's frown grows.
"It is complicated." Rhydian says to Kara slowly.
"So come into our room then, Shannon can get out and you can come with us instead!" Kara suggests- desperately.
"No way! I am fine where I am and oh look, Shannon is leaving anyway!"
"Good riddance to her, I don't care actually- don't want you geeking up our room, anyway it would be a geeky convention..." Kara insults.
"Bye lamebrain." Maddy mutters hopping out of the door.
"Shut up Maddy, at least I look good- I am surprised Rhydian would ever want you!"
"Know what, I am not listening to this." Rhydian yells feeling a little bewildered about what had just happened. Now is the time he wish he were a wolfblood as he runs off to find Maddy in desperate search of answers.
(meanwhile)
A deflated Tom heaves; how can he ever get Maddy all to himself? Tom lurks behind a wall, his head ticking away like an atomic bomb in silence. Suddenly a figure whizzes passed him, he reaches out to stop the person but pauses- he just noticed Maddy. His mind goes blank as he realizes that Maddy doesn't actually have a fake leg, so why would she do that? Then it occurs to Tom- so she could spend another night with Rhydian! Tom is just about to march off to find Maddy, until Mr Timothy Jeffries steps out from the murky shadows in awe, before stopping Thomas in such great authority, even Tom is a tad cautious of the soft hearted history teacher.
"Going somewhere, Tom?"
"No, sir."
"So what were you doing then?"
"I was just going to the loo, I feel closer to nature outside..." Tom hurriedly explains, Mr Jeffries shuffles back a bit, rubbing his chin with his hand in astonishment. Tom's mind goes blank again- where did that come from?
"Oh, oh right.. You may need to sign some forms about well, being vulnerable outside in your- circumstances, but I am sure that can wait.." Mr Jeffries stutters, smiling bleakly as the awkwardness sets in. Tom nods, concluding that he needs to find Shannon.
(meanwhile)
"Mads, your limp is really fake now." Rhydian calls out leaning on the boat shed, as the wind flaps in his face- Maddy halts to greet him reluctantly; like a lost terrier retreating to its master.
"You try falling off that roof deliberately!" Maddy exclaims coldly.
"I know but at least we get to spend another night here."
"Yeah even if I'll be a wolf." Maddy says, staring morosely into the night sky.
"Still, I bet I am faster than you." Rhydian challenges, smirking slightly
"Right, race ya!" Maddy shouts, before playfully shoving Rhydian and bolting off into the 'haunted' lime kilns.
(meanwhile)
"Guess what! Maddy isn't human!" Tom hisses, plonking himself onto the soft next to Shannon who is playing with her torch, temptation hitting her.
"That's it.I'm going to find them, it's a full moon and Maddy will have changed by now and I'm going to get some answers- I knew this would happen."
"What?!" Tom demands, after all he only knew because he followed Maddy, Shannon didn't...
"Oh well, isn't it obvious? Come on you must have known!" Shannon mocks, not believing her ears, although Tom;s face remains monotonous.
"No."
"Well I did, coming?" Shannon hurriedly, diverting the subject.
"Oh, no, no way- it is dark and cold, Maddy isn't stupid Shannon, look what she did last month! Mads will keep her id identity a secret, why else did she pretend to hate you Shannon. Rhydian must be on the secret too- girls like that, the whole trust thing, maybe that's it- I will get her attention by being the bad boy she wants. If Rhydian get do it so can !" Tom chunters, Shannon groans.
"She doesn't want you, and you don't want her- she's a monster. Now I am tired, and I want to find evidence tomorrow- I heard this really cool website on werewolves, I may get some facts there." Shannon concocts, Tom nods his head and they head off up to their room- all of them exhausted.
By next morning everything had changed.
"I can smell bacon, I could it a whole pig!" Maddy sharply says, as she meets up with Rhydian, Tom and Shannon. Tom and Shannon nod timidly but Rhydian brushes it off, all of them starting to leave.
An hour later, everyone boards on the rattling minibus, Maddy still feigning her injured leg. Soon enough the bus stops abruptly, and everyone saunters off, Rhydian carries Maddy and leaps off fatigued. Maddy jumps down and grins, feeling rather energetic. Shannon and Tom whisk off, as Maddy is given a stupid memoir of Bradlington high, both of them laughing and giggling, forgetting the world around them.
"So Mads, what was it like?" Rhydian mutters.
"Amazing, being a wolfblood is going to be SO great." Maddy exclaims, and Rhydian grins, still getting used to the whole wolfblood world- even if he ain't a wolfblood.
Shannon and Tom gawk at them in suspicion, both of them plotting something dreadful in their mind.
"All we have to do is give Maddy a taste of her own medicine right?" Shannon questions.
"Yeah- but how?"
"Well it's the phrase Tom- do what she did to us..."
"Shannon you are mad, you plot whilst I plot... For Mads OK." Tom snaps.
"But Tom it is the genetics, it all adds up- you shouldn't be in love with a beast!" Shannon shouts, only to get weird glaces all round.
