Hungers Chapter (3)
Kassie's view
I suddenly was hit by wave of guilt. Sitting in 4th period I was only two seats from Jen. I was the first one in the class room, seven minutes till it started, but I could already see through her thoughts that I had upset her. I knew she loved Lyle and I had said it flat out that he liked me. It wasn't my fault that guys liked me better, but I still felt another ping of guilt.
For some reason guys are attracted to me. Maybe be it is the piercing yellow/blue eyes, or my charisma. I don't know but the reason the pack guys loved me was well I'm sexually mature, alpha female , and I basically have developed written across my butt. I have a slim figure, plump lips, high cheeks, and fiery red blonde hair that traces my diamond shaped face. "A beauty to with hold" I had once been called.
I still had a couple minutes till class was supposed to start. Bored with this thought I put my head on the desk and tried to sort my thoughts out… that lasted all of three seconds. My head shot up and my eyes went glossy. Another of my 'talents' was self-consciously at work. I saw Mason walking, he went into the bathroom. It was dark and no one else was around. He suddenly felt he wasn't alone and turned to leave. A gray and white wolf stud at the exit blocking his way. It continued to walk toward him, growling.
Without knowing what I was doing I was suddenly on my feet and running down the hallway at un-human speed. Invisible to them, I lifted my noise to the air, and then remembered I didn't know his sent. So instead I looked into his current thoughts. A blue hallway, locker R108, R110, R112, R114…
"Great," I mumbled under my breath, and still moving too fast from the human eye I spun around heading back toward my 4th period English.
Lockers R200, R198, R196 passed me, "Just a little faster Kase." I told myself.
I was soon at locker R102, R104, R106. No one was in the halls except for a boy with light brown hair.
"Ugghhh!" I groaned and he turned around. Suddenly it clicked, and just in time, he turned back around. He was about to go into the bathroom where Lyle waited. I found my voice and a last minute plan came to mind. I ran toward him and stopped a few feet short.
I took a deep breath to calm my nerves, "Mason?"
He turned back around and took a step forward, "Ya?"
I took another step, "Hey, I'm Kassie!"
"Kassie" he repeated and I bit my lip. I liked the way he said my name. It rolled of his tongue like it was natural, like we were old friends. "Can I help you Kassie?"
I was about to reply when I saw the white paws of Lyle.
My plan changed. I closed the two feet separating me and Mason. I placed myself in front of him and the bathroom, wrapped my arms around his neck, and kissed him. My eyes glazed over again and the future changed before my eyes. I saw paws retracting from the shadows, a human face crying tears of pain. The face was Lyle's and his thoughts were still centered on Mason's death. But for now they weren't, though that will probably change soon.
When my vision ended I realized Mason had placed his arms around my waist and was kissing back. His tongue parted my lips and danced along with mine. I pulled away from him and stared into his green eyes.
He smiled, "I really like this school," I nodded.
"Hmmm… me too" I closed my eyes as he talked.
"Umm… so I don't mean to be rude, but what was that for?" He gave a dazzling smile, and put his arm behind his head like guys do when their uncomfortable.
Because if I didn't you would have been killed by a jealous, self-riotous, egomaniac werewolf!
"What?!" His calm face faded and his eyes were as big around as quarters.
"Ummm… did I just say that aloud?" He nodded. "Crap!"
He took a step backward and I opened my mouth, just to be silenced by the appearance of Lyle.
"Actually she is telling the truth," Mason took a step back and I placed myself between him and Lyle. I thanked god, or whoever that was up there, that still no one was in the hall. Looking at my watch I realized that would only last another five minutes.
"Lyle, if you're planning on doing this, we only have five minutes." He nodded and gave a growl in response. I heard Mason's heart speed up in reaction. Crap, Lyle is planning on finishing this now.
I took a defensive stance and focused on Lyle's thoughts.
"Get out of my head Kassie! He knows too much!" I shook my head and copied him as he begun to slip his clothes off.
Mason was confused by this but I whispered to him that it would be fine.
"Mason, when I say go I need you to stay behind me, but to hang a couple feet back." He shook his head and I showed him the images of Lyle changing from a boy into a wolf. That snapped him into submission.
Once our cloths were removed my claws grew longer and my pelt grew thicker. "GO!" I yelled at Mason. I was soon a wolf in seconds. I saw my reflection from a mirror on the wall. Mason stood behind a red/ orange wolf in shook, as a gray and white wolf circled the other.
Lyle lunged at my flank and I turned last second, all ready of seeing his move coming, and sent him flying into the wall. He stood and shook himself off as he got ready for another attack. I jumped on top of him as he flung himself toward me. Smiling a wolfly grin I dig my claws and fangs into his fur. He lay on the ground motionless, and my smile grew wider. That is until his next thought hit me, right before it went into action. He shot up off the ground and ran toward Mason.
I quickly spun toward the wolf and threw myself in front of him. His momentum sent us both crashing to the ground in a snarling mess.
"One minute I heard Mason say over our snarling." And with that I jumped on top of Lyle and inflected a bite I knew wouldn't be fatal, but would certainly bring a large amount of pain. More than enough pain for him to phase back, and more than enough to end the fight.
With thirty seconds to spear, we both bolted into the bathroom.
"Crap!" I was in human form, but with my hurry to escape the halls I had forgotten my cloths. I hit my head against the stall, when I heard Mason's footsteps.
"Umm… I think you might need these," He handed me my cloths over the stall door and ran out of the girl's bathroom. "Also you might want cover that wound up with something."
"Thanks," I said as I got changed and headed out of the bathroom. I found Mason waiting outside.
"I don't want to be pushy or anything," He said as the halls started to fill up, everyone going to 4th period, "but would you mind explaining what the heck just happened?"
"I will but first we have to get our schedule changed."
He cocked his head, "why?"
"Unless you want to have reenactment of the pass five minutes, I don't want you alone with him. You're going to have to stay close to me also. Because the rest of them are gonna hear about this and they probably won't be too happy with what you know." His face was skeptical but he nodded.
"So," he said looking down at my arm, which was now dripping blood, "What are you going to do about that?"
I covered it with my other hand, "Oh ya, well I can't exactly go to the nurse. So I'm gonna have to ask you a favor."
"Sure" He said not even knowing what my thoughts were.
"Could I barrow your jacket?"
He nodded and slipped it off, "So now I get a favor, right?"
"Whatever you'd like." I said hopping it would not be: "Leave me alone."
"You said you'd explain this to me, right?" I nodded, "Well why not over dinner?"
I raised my eyebrows and he bit his lip, "Wait, you do…"
"Are you asking if I can eat food?"
He nodded seeming ashamed, "Well?"
I laughed, "Yes, yes we do."
hmmmm... did you like it? Please review and tell me what you think!!! And if you still don't think that Lyle is the bad guy yet... I think you are reading a differant story than me.
