Slowly Gareki opened his eyes. It was dark and cold. The only light source was the moon.

The moon? gareki thought. wasn't it day time. Gareki looked around himself and noticed he was still in the woods, laying on the dirty ground. He sat up slowly But as he did this he felt a horrible pain to his shoulder.

He groaned. W-what happened to me? Gareki pulled away the black jacket he was wearing away from his shoulder and saw a painful looking bite mark. Gareki gasped why was it so big-. Gareki remembered what had happened to him. He ran away from school out of anger. Then the woods started to get foggy and then... And then a wolf... at least he thought it was a wolf jumped out at him and bit into his shoulder.

Gareki breathed out as he put his hand to his head, Trying to think what that wolf was. There wasn't suppose to be wolves in this town none that he had heard about anyway. Gareki covered up his bite mark And got up off the dirty ground. How long had he been knocked out here It was the afternoon when he ran away from school but now the moon was out.

Shrugging it off gareki walked the path he had when he entered the woods.

Gareki walked up to his house still holding his shoulder to try and ease the pain, It helped a little but was still painful. Looking at the front windows the lights were still on. Great gareki thought. His parents were going to freak. He didn't know what time it was but he just knew they would.

Once gareki opened the front door both of his parents were standing in the family room. Dad with a phone in his hand asking questions of where he was to the school, and his mother pacing back and forth. They both stopped what they were doing when gareki stepped into the house his face blank.

Gareki where have you been! they both said in unison.

We've been calling the school and the bus system and they both said they had no clue where you were, and not to mention you got in a fight at school on your first day. Gareki's dad said.

Gareki do you not know what time it is, it's 11:00Pm at night what were you doing. His mom said.

I was... If he told them the truth they wouldn't believe him, It was best to keep the wolf bite a secret. I was in the woods after school and I got lost. It was a lame lie but it was all he could think of.

His dad sighed. This is very disappointing. why were you in the woods in the first place and why is there a woods area so close to your school?

I like to go outside and I thought it would be cool to check out the woods near school. Gareki lied No way in hell did he like going out side in the town they lived in it was always sunny and hot. Only sometimes it would rain.

Well please try not to do something like that again. You almost gave me a heart attack. Mom said. and wash your clothes before you go to bed she said noticing the tiny specks and spots of dirt on them.

Alright. gareki said heading up the stairs to his room. Once he was in he closed and locked the door. Then he pulled off his jack and shirt they were both in the way of his wound. Walking up to his mirror the bite was red and bleeding. Quickly gareki walked into his bathroom picking up a towel from his closet he dipped it into water and whipped down his wound.

Gareki groaned at the pain as he whipped the blood away. Next he cleaned it with peroxide. then cleaned that off and wrapping it in gauze. Gareki changed his clothes into black shorts and a tee-shirt then climbed into bed.

Then slowly went to sleep. That's when the nightmare began. Gareki found himself in the woods again it was foggy still but this time the moon was out shining brightly. the same dark shadow ran past him. Gareki tried to get a closer look but every time he focused on it, it would run away fast. If this was that same wolf it couldn't have been a wolf. wolves weren't that big or fast. The dark figure kept running in circles around gareki the fog around him getting thicker. It felt like the entire woods was spinning in circles but gareki was still standing in place. The wind picked up blowing his hair and clothes. What the hell was happening. He had to be dreaming this couldn't be real. Then all together he heard wolves growling, howling, fighting, and barking. The sound of it all was loud in his ears like they were really close. The wolfs dark figure was still running in a circle around gareki. He was getting dizzy just seeing it run past him. Gareki fell to his knees with both of his hands on each side of his head. His pupils constricted into tiny black balls. And yelled.

shut up.

shut up!

...SHUT UP!

And then everything went quiet. It was dark gareki opened his eyes and squinted as the morning sunlight hit him. Where am I. he said he reached down at his covers but didn't grab anything. Looking down gareki noticed he was laying on the floor...How the hell did I-. The night mare that's the only answer for it. He looked around but his bed was all the way in the corner of his room and it was perfectly made, If he had fell then the covers wood have been slanted to the side. He was sure that he covered himself with them last night.

He sighed and looked at his clock. He had to get ready for school. Getting clothes out of his closet he picked A black shirt with a red under shirt, Grey shorts, and Black and white VANS with a white line on the side. Gareki walked inside his bathroom and took a look at his wound it was still red and the teeth marks were changing into scars. He cleaned it off quickly and rapped it.

Once he left his bathroom something shiny caught his eye. Gareki walked over to his dresser and picked up the object. It was a holy cross neck lace, Hanging by a chain. He remembered his mom had got it for him for his last year birthday present. Putting the necklace around his neck. He walked over to where his book bag was suppose to be but then remembered he left it at school when he ran away.

Gareki ran his hand into his messy black hair remembering the two jerk bastards that made him run. what the people at school did to him yesterday he would have to deal with it again. He clenched his teeth together thinking about it. Why the hell do they treat me like this. Gareki said through clenched teeth. He was so made all of a sudden. why? Sure he had been made at the way they treated him before but he had never been this upset about it. First the dream and now his anger. Jeez what a morning he said to himself.

Walking out of his room and closing the door. Gareki walked down stares to the smell of bacon. It hit his nose hard. Gareki gasped almost falling down the stairs. What was up with his nose he could smell the bacon so clear. It was weird. shrugging it off gareki sat down at the table and ate his breakfast. Usually gareki ate all of his breakfast but this time he only ate the bacon. He stared at the pieces of toast for a long while. Until his dad looked up and said you might be late for the bus if you just sit there staring at your food gareki.

Gareki finally looked up slowly. I'm not hungry and with that he pushed the plate of toast away got up and headed out the door.

Once he was at the bus stop the 3 teenagers were there staring at him. One of them said aren't you the loser who ran away because of a fight, the whole schools talking about it. He laughed and so did the other two.

Gareki had had enough. Moving from school to school because of his parents jobs. Dealing with the way other teenagers treated him. The anger he had felt that morning came back full force.

next time how about you run back to your old school- the guy was interrupted by gareki rushing forward and grabbing his shirt collar pulling him face to face.

How about next time you mind your own goddamn business and stop worrying about what happens next to me. Gareki said shoving him back making him fall. Gareki swiftly turned towards the other two. And you two stop being fucking followers. god I swear you people act like you don't have a mind of your own. Gareki yelled.

The two of them backed away. Calm down we were just joking. one of them said.

Don't mess with me like that. Gareki said glaring fiercely at them. They backed up again. C-calm down your freaking me out.

Gareki stopped. What was he doing. He usually just ignored these kinds of things. Gareki gave them one last look and turned around crossing his arms, acting like nothing happened. The rest of the bus waiting was quiet.

Gareki stepped into the school and once he did students began to stare.

Just great. He thought. As he walked to his locker. Turning the knob to his combination lock. He opened it and Grabbed his schedule. Today he would be Having gym for first period. Grabbing his gym bag he closed and locked his locker. Right after he closed it the 2 jerks he saw yesterday were standing there.

Humph We didn't get to finish our talk yesterday. the blonde said grabbing gareki by the shirt.

We don't need to talk..Get out of my way. Gareki said grabbing the blonde jerk's wrist shoving it away. Gareki walked past them continuing to gym class. The teenagers in the hall way were still staring at him and whispering to each other. Just ignore it gareki thought. Already getting angry again. The gym was the easiest place to find in the school it was always by the cafeteria. When gareki stepped inside He immediately saw the two jerks that got on his nerves. These two were in his gym class.

That's just perfect. Gareki thought sarcastically. walking in and sitting on the bleachers with rest of the class. The gym teacher was a man he looked like he ran track everyday. He had Red hair and blue eyes. His expression was serious, But he spoke in a friendly voice. alright You all will be playing dodge ball today. we'er all going to play this game fair. Saying that I've had a few students who had grudges against each other and them playing this game with those people didn't turn out good. So please keep the violence out of the game. And with that he blew his whistle and said for every one to get dressed.

The class separated into the boys locker room and the girls locker room. Inside the boys locker room there were lockers and stalls to change in. Gareki remembered the bite mark on his shoulder. He didn't want anyone to see it. He went inside a stall and changed into A black tee-shirt (the sleeves were cut off) and black shorts, and the same VANS shoes.

He hoped the bandages weren't showing. As he walked out of the locker room he felt someone grip his bitten shoulder. Gareki clenched his teeth at the pain And looked behind him and saw one of the jerks.

you better prepare yourself me and my friend going to kick your ass at dodge ball. The brunette said walking ahead of him. Gareki glared at his back as he left.

The students were all divided into two groups of 5. Gareki had a total of 2 girls on his team and 3 boys counting himself. The other team had 3 girls and two boys aka the two jerks.

The gym teacher threw the balls in the middle. Lets play fair then he blew his whistle.

This is it. Gareki's eye pupils constricted then he ran fast towards the middle of the gym grabbing two balls He waited for an opening on the other team. The game was all about hitting the opposite team with the ball and they would be out. But you also had to help your own team. No way in hell was gareki helping his own team, in the end these people would still treat him bad and they still would even if he helped them no matter what. The only person he was going to keep in the game was himself no one else.

The other team pulled there arms back and threw the balls hard at gareki's team. In gareki's eye sight it was all happening in slow motion.

Gareki moved the two balls in his hands in front of him throwing the other teams balls back by hitting them with his own. Two of them hit the girls on there team and they were out of the game. Gareki's team grabbed the balls off the ground and threw them at the other team. The three of them moved out of the way in time. Then threw balls at them hitting three people on gareki's team. They were out. Two basketballs flew from the opposite team aiming at gareki but he swiftly side stepped and it hit the other guy on his team instead.

Like gareki had told himself he would keep himself in the game no one else. Now the players were 1 of 3. Gareki was the only person on his team now facing 3 people on the other team. He still had the two balls in his hands.

The other team threw there balls at him. Gareki moved his head to the side the ball went by in slow motion. He ducked at the next one. and the last ball he moved to the side missing it by an inch. Pulling his arm back he threw one of the basket balls at the other team and hit the brunette jerk. He threw the other ball at the girl. They both were out. and now one of the jerk bastards was left standing.

Your not gonna win this. The blonde jerk said pulling hit arm back and throwing it at gareki fast. Gareki didn't have any balls in his hands and the other basketballs were to far to grab if he took his eyes off of the blonde jerk he would for sure get hit by another ball.

The ball was close now. He needed to win didn't want to be humiliated for another thing. This was pay back. Gareki reached forward as the ball came inches to his face and grabbed it.

The blonde jerk was shocked. W-what...But thats not fai-!

It is fair! Gareki said throwing the ball supper hard into the blonde stomach making him fly back and hit the wall behind him. The blonde jerk fell to his knees unconscious. Every one in the gym stared at him in shock. Gareki stared back making them flinch and look away. He was used to that.

The gym teacher walked up to him and said. congratulations your the winner... the only winner which I haven't seen that in a while. try to be more careful next time you could seriously hurt someone. Gareki gave him an uninterested look. The gym teacher looked away quickly anyway everyone get dressed Then he blew his whistle.

Gareki was back at home. He was doing the last bit of homework he had. It lasted him till night time. Why did highschools give out so much homework? He tgought.

Gareki stopped what he was doing after hearing a noise. He dropped his pencil and walked over to his window. He reached out and pulled away his curtains. Once he did the moon light drifted into his room. He covered his eyes. After a minute of adjusting to the brightness. He stared up at it.

He gasped as he saw it. Immediately going into a trance he heard the faintest sound of a wolf howling. And then Gareki climbed out the window Heading towards the woods where the wolf was calling him to. It felt like a dream.. But was really reality.
