Star's POV

Toboe and I walk out to what he tells me is called the pick-up/drop-off zone. We see his mom in what the crows told me is called a car.

"Shouldn't we wait for Kira?" I ask him as he gets in the car.

"Her grade gets out before ours, so she's probably back home already." He says to me.

The second I get to the house, I smell the most wonderful thing.

"What is that lovely smell?" I ask Toboe's mom, Kim.

"I'm making steak for dinner tonight." She tells me.

"Yum!" Just then I remember. "Hey, is Kira back yet?" I ask Kim.

"Yes, she is. Kira must be popular, she brought back a couple of friends. They're up in her room now." Says Kim.

"Thanks, c'mon Toboe." I grab his arm and take him upstairs to Kira room. "We're coming in!" I yell as I walk into Kira's room. When inside I see the two guys from the fight- Kiba and Hige.

"Hey Star, hey Toboe." Kira greets us.

"Hey, those are the little pipsqueaks from earlier." Hige says.

"Well this is my house." Toboe huffs.

"Are you guys related?" Kiba asks Kira.

"No, not at all. My friend Star and I are just living here for now. We're kinda homeless." She says, gesturing to me when she mentions my name. "Toboe and his parents are just nice enough to give us rooms in their home."

"Oh, I see." Hige says. I sit by Kira, and Toboe takes a seat between me and Hige. "Nice going, small fry." Hige says, punching Toboe's arm.

"Hey, I'm not small! Just younger." Toboe yells.

"Hey I have an idea." I say, breaking the tension in the room. "Why don't we ask Kim and Vic if we can have a little party this weekend. You know, to help me and Kira meet some more people at school." I smile at everyone, "And to celebrate are new, and better, lives." Everyone agrees with my idea.

We all eat dinner, then Hige and Kiba leave. I put on some pajamas, so they're called, that Toboe's mom gave to me and go to bed.

***Dream Sequence***

I run in my favorite field of sweet grass. As I go to the large river for a swim, I detect another smell.

"Who's there?" I bark. Just then, a large, black figure pins me down. I look into the wolf's sky blue and aqua eyes. Now I see…

"Hey there, Star." The black wolf says to me.

"Hey Kira. I realized it was you, when I saw your eyes."

"Lucky me." She smiles. "Where are we, anyways?" She asks.

"I'm not sure. But I come here almost every night in my sleep."

"Nice to meet you, wolf that is friend with other wolf." The Voice says to Kira.

"Who's there!" She growls, the hair along her spine bristling.

"Calm down, that's my friend." I say to her. "She gave me the necjlace that I always wear."

"Correct, young wolf." The Voice says to me.

"Have you ever seen her, physically?" Kira asks.

"Not time, not yet." The Voice says to us. "But I want go give the friend wolf a gift." A light surrounds Kira's neck, and appears a necklace like mine, except with a purple orb. Her eyes glow, and I can tell she is learning everything I learned about the past wolfs.

"Oh my gosh." Kira gasps. I nod my head.

"The next wolf will appear under the colors. Then expect the last wolf the same night, riding on misery." Before Kira or I can ask any questions, the land turns to mist.

I walk into Drama with Toboe. Everyone in class seems to be discussing the play. The girl from the other day with the platinum blonde hair and hazel eyes comes up to Toboe, batting her eyes.

"So Toboe," She asks him, "What part are you going out for? I'm going out for Beauty."

"I was thinking about the part of Belle's dad." He says nonchalantly.

"Oh, no that will never do!" She says with an obviously forced dramatic tone. "That is a waist of your talents. You should try out for the Beast." She looks out of the corner of her eyes at me. "So you're that new girl. Normally, I'm against the thought of a newbie performing in a play, but this one is mandatory." She shrugs. "At best, you can be an extra." She walks a circle around me. "Can you sing or dance, more so act?" The girls asks me with a snotty attitude.

"Not sure, I've never tried." I say.

"I suppose I can take pity on you." She says, letting out another exaggerated sigh. "I shall train you in the ways of the theater. First off, my name is Rosy, but-"

"I appreciate the offer and all, but Toboe is already helping me out." I say, interrupting her. She looks startled, and Toboe nods, backing me up.

"Then we are rivals." She turns on her heals, and walks away.

"Are all the girls in here like that?" I ask Toboe.

"Yeah, but only because they follow her lead."

"I have an idea." I say.

"Lets hear it." Toboe says, smiling.

"Ok class, it is time for the auditions." Miss Bowen announces to the class. After about half an hour of the rest of the class' auditions, Rosy goes up.

"I will be trying out for the part of Belle." She clears her throat and sings the song, Belle, the first song of the play that has lyrics. She bows, and strides off the stage. "Try to beat that." Rosy says, purposely bumping into me. I nod at Toboe, and we walk on the stage from different sides.

"Toboe and I will be doing our auditions together." I say to the class and Miss Bowen.-I eye Rosy.

"What a great way to end the auditions!" Miss Bowen exclaims-she motions for us to start.

"We will be auditioning for the parts of Beauty and the Beast." Toboe says. The class falls silent. We sing the song Transformation together, and to my surprise(and all the class as well) we both have beautiful and amazing singing voices. We finish, and the class claps and cheers for us-as does Miss Bowen. Then she says,

"Ok everybody, the results will be posted on Monday outside this room."
