A/N: Sorry for the short delay, I've been working. But hey things are finally starting to move along. I hope you enjoy.

It was the same in her other classes- everyone stayed away from her even the boy who the day before was so eager to talk to her. The gym teacher as well didn't seem to trust getting near the young teenager. The class started on their first sport-something easy for everyone-badminton. Alexis didn't see how it was the easiest sport there were some people who were having difficulty keeping up. Trans was paired up with the second best student in the class. It was the boy from the day before.

The two of them were going at each other with everything they had. Many of the other games had already ended and the class stood around watching the fierce competition. Alexandria had learned that the boy's name was Joel that his favorite sport was hockey and his favorite team was one based in Canada, which one Trans didn't hear.

Their game kept going until the five minute warning bell sound and everyone started for the locker rooms to change and shower. Alexis put her racket back in the storage closest before heading back out to the forest.

"I heard Randy was dead."

"I heard she just put him in a coma."

"And I heard he faked all of the injuries." Another girl said. All three were from the group that had mocked Joel's attempts and befriending Alexis.

Trans scoffed. Wolverine told me that he allowed me to get my frustration out. He knows me enough to tell me if I killed the boy. Wouldn't he? Frowning, she shook the thoughts from her head as the woods surrounding the mansion came into view.

She headed straight back to the same tree. Taking a deep breath she let the different smells assault her sensitive nose. That same damn half smell again. It may be possible that a wolf pack is raising a human child but that's rare and the scent is only that of one wolf. Shrugging Trans climbed into the tree. Leaning with her back to the large trunk, she sat looking out into the surrounding woods, breathing in the silence.

A muffled snap of a twig jolted Alexandria from her trance like state. Turning her agile frame she adjusted her sight to see the forest floor below. A lone gray wolf sniffed around the base of the tree. Trans' eyes narrowed into silts. Damn. I'm to high up to get a good smell of its scent. Carefully she climbed down to the next tree branch to get a better sniff and sight of the wild animal.

With no success on the lower branch, she moved down to another, now only about ten feet from the wolf. Trans' entire body stiffened as the wolf turned and looked up at her. Repressing a gulp, she started back into the amber eyes. I know its not a good idea, but I was raised by these rules- the rules of the wild. We're trying to prove who's more dominant. It's a challenge of authority. But can I really take on a wolf? I may have a slightly higher healing rate than others may but still… The only way I could win is to try and change it…

Another smell came into the woods. Both the human and animal broke their gazes to look towards the entrance before the wolf took off. Alexis frowned, leaning back up so she didn't fall off the tree branch.

"What do you want, Wolverine?" The man stared up at her, glaring.

"Get your ass down here and go eat." The man didn't wait for her to answer before heading back for the mansion. I'm not really all that hungry. It's only been about two days since my last meal. Shaking her head, brown bangs crossing in front of her face, she jumped out of the tree landing right where the wolf hand once stood. Standing slowly, Trans looked around her three hundred and sixty degrees before heading out of the woods. This whole wolf business is getting old and Wolverine didn't even seem to register that one had even been there.

Walking back towards the mansion, the teen kept looking back over her shoulder; the feeling of being watched ever present. Shaking her head and cursing at her own stupidity she walked into the mansion. She headed straight to get food just like Wolverine had told her to do, even though her stomach had yet to empty from her midnight snack two nights before hand.

As she entered the room, everything fell silent, with some of the kids staring at her and the others not. Low whispers filled the room, and Trans gave a low growl as the words reached her ears. Looking at the food available she frowned. Nothing good. Taking a whiff of the food, her frown only deepened. The meat's not cooked right. Another growl left her throat and a few of the students closest to her screamed causing everything to fall silent again.

Storm walked into the room and stopped when she saw what was going on. Alexandria turned to the woman.

"You want me to eat huh? You expect me to eat that shit? That sandwich was better than any of the crap here-" Logan walked into the room carrying a piece of thawed meat wrapped in tin foil. Without a word he threw it at the teen.

Trans turned slightly and caught the meat nodding her head in thanks. Glaring back at Storm she walked out of the room and back towards the woods- all of the past memories of the wolf and suspicion in the back of her mind.

Stopping at the edge of the woods found a place to cook the meat. Brushing all of the loose dirt away, she went in search of sticks to make a fire with. Within minutes she had a small fire with the meat cooking over the fire. She allowed all of the fat to fall away from her dinner.

It didn't take long for Trans to have a full meal. She ate her fill and put the rest away in the foil. At least here, I'll be able to have food again the next day instead of either having to leave it or eat it on the run. Shaking her head she brushed the dirt over the dying fire and headed back inside.

No one was waiting for her and for that she was thankful – the thought of having to face someone else again today was playing havoc with her short fused nerves. She put the meat in the freezer to keep it cold enough to reheat over a fire later before heading up to her room.

She pushed the door open with enough force that it came back to hit her in the side of her face. Putting one hand up, she stopped the wooden door and walked into the room ignoring the girls around her. As she neared her bed she noticed the absence of her small pile of clothes. All right, who wants to die now?

"Um… excuse me?" That voice. It sounded just like the girl that came to the gym. Turning around she glared at the girl. She was wearing her night clothes- a simple pair of pink shorts with a white tank top. "They moved you. Storm wants to see you too. She'll probably know where your new room is." She said weakly before walking away quickly to avoid any wrath.

Short of stomping her feet she walked out of the room, right down to Storm's office. She shoved to door open making it slam into the wall to get the woman's attention. Her arms were folded one on top of the other, her eyes narrowed into slits as her body radiated killer intent. The intent of a wild animal who's authority had just been challenged by someone less than themselves.

"Why the fuck did you move me?" She demanded. Storm looked up at her calmly.

"I've moved you into a teacher's room. It is fitting on your position. Only you will be sharing with someone else still, but only one person."

"Who?"

"Me." The reply came from directly behind her. How did I not here him? She gulped to herself and turned so her back was to the door, so she could face both Logan and Storm.

"You can't be serious." Frowning, she let her arms fall back down to her sides. "I'd rather sleep outside."

"Frankly, sweetie, we need someone to help you adjust and Logan is the best person for that. I've already spoken to him on your behalf and with everything else he's done for you, he said he'd take you in for a while." He agreed to the whole thing? Is he really that tame now?

"Fine." She grumbled and shoved past Wolverine, her new roommate and headed up the stairs. It wasn't hard to track down the man's room- it reeked of his smell. She stood outside of the room, looking at the mess in the middle of the room from making room for another bed by the window. She growled before walking in, wishing she could turn down her sense of smell.

"It's not that bad." Logan stated as he walked in and shut the door behind him.

"For you maybe."

"You'll get used to it." He replied taking his shirt off and throwing it into the pile on the floor before lying down on his bed and picking up a beer from the nightstand. "Want one?" Alexis just shook her head as she walked over to her new bed and sat down. She glanced out the window. It was facing the same way her previous one was only one story higher.

"Now can I tell you what happened last night?"
