At the arrangement I told them what happened. They were both charged with rape and second degree assault. After the trail the DA wanted to go over what would happen at the trail and she also wanted us to explain some things to her. Bran came with us.

"This is my grandpa, Bran Cornick."

"Hello Mr. Cornick."

"OK you will have to give more in depth testimony at trail. They are going to bring into account that you are a werewolf and why you didn't fight back. So you will have to explain how you were born one. Also they are probably going to ask how the defendants knew this if you weren't out to the public. So we are going to go over it today because I don't quite understand some of this myself."

"OK what would you like to start with?"

"How about how she is a werewolf without being turned."

Bran explained everything she didn't understand.

"I'm going to have to call you as a witness Mr. Cornick. I'm sorry if this causes any problems for you but I see no way around it."

"That is fine. I would do anything for my granddaughter."

"Well that is good to hear. The trail is in a month so I will contact you in a few weeks to go over this stuff again."

We left the office and headed home.

"I'm sorry Grandpa."

"For what? This wasn't your fault."

"I know but you are going to be outed because of me."

"This would have happened eventually. I'm just sorry that it had to be you."

"How long are you staying."

"A few days. I have to get back before the full moon hunt. We have some newbies going on this hunt."

"I see. That should be fun."

Bran took us all out for dinner that night. I went to bed as soon as we got home because I had school in the morning. When I woke up I took a shower and had breakfast. Ben wished me luck as I headed out the door behind Jesse.

"Everything is going to be OK Phee. Just stay calm."

"I will try."

I walked into the school with my head held high after all I didn't do anything wrong. Everyone stopped a stared as I walked by. I looked at Jesse.

"They are all staring at me."

"It's OK just keep walking."

"Hey Phee."

"Yes."

"I just wanted to say I was sorry. I heard what happened and that you didn't deserve it werewolf or not. Which by the way is pretty cool."

"Thanks."

"Your welcome."

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

"Yeah I do sorry."

"Figures."

I gave him a small smile and walked away. I got to my locker and started laughing. Just as I was about to go to class, I got called to the office.

"You wanted to see me?"

"Yes sit down. It has come to our attention that you are a werewolf and we feel that it would be best if you stopped going to school here."

"So let me get this straight. You are kicking me out of school for the way I was born?"

"No not exactly. We are kicking you out for being a werewolf."

"Which is the way I was born. This is such bullshit."

"We just feel it isn't safe."

"For me or the other students? Yeah that's what I thought. You know you have never had a problem with me. I'm a straight A student. I'm calling my father."

I got out my cell and dialed my dad's number.

"Phee what's wrong?"

"They are trying to kick me out of school for being a werewolf."

"They can't do that. That is discrimination Your grandpa, I and our lawyer will be there soon. Don't leave."

"I didn't plan on it."

I hung up the phone and looked at the superintendent and principal and smiled.

"My father, grandfather and our lawyer will be here shortly."

"I don't think a lawyer will be necessary."

"I do."

We didn't have to wait long for them to show up.

"Hello I'm Phee's father Sam. This is her grandfather Bran and our lawyer Mr. Johnson."

"Now let me see if I have the facts straight. You found out that Ms. Cornick is a werewolf so you are kicking her out of school. Is that correct?"

"It's not that simple."

"Oh I do believe it is sir."

"I have the other students safety to think about."

"I am not a threat and you know it. You can't hold the way I was born against me any more than you can hold it against someone born with downs syndrome."

"Some one with downs syndrome isn't dangerous. Can you honestly tell me you aren't dangerous?"

"I was raped and beaten and I didn't fight back so yes I can honestly say that I am not dangerous. I have never hurt anyone in my life."

"We can't take that chance. We have no choice."

"Unless you want to be sued for discrimination I think you do. If you kick her out of this school I will sue this school district for discrimination and pain and suffering on behalf of Ms. Cornick. I don't think you want that."

"How about we do it this way? How about we let the student body decide whether I stay or go? They are the ones I'm around all day."

"That sounds fair to me. What about you?"

" I suppose we can do it that way. I will have the teachers take a vote in each class and have the secretary tally it up."

While they were doing that I waited in the office with my dad, grandpa and the lawyer. It took almost an hour to count the results. They recounted them twice to make sure they were right.

"Well here are the results. It was 70 to 30 in favor of you staying. I guess the other students don't seem to be afraid of you."

"Well then I will just head to class then.
