She had taken all off the necessary precautions so that history wouldn't repeat itself. After the first New Moon, with Faye's help, she built a cabin in the middle of nowhere and she went there to either think or when the New Moon came around.

They weren't supposed to be there. Who goes camping in the middle of nowhere?

The brown-coloured wolf was running in the woods surrounding her cabin when she came across two scents that didn't belong there.

She followed the scents and found a tent not far from where she first picked up the familiar fragrance of humans and noticed a man sleeping inside from the tent's door which wasn't closed properly.

She crawled, stealthily, over to his sleeping form and noticed the woman lying next to him, her back to the man.

'How dare they step into my territory!' She snarled as she crouched down, a growl rumbling from her throat as she acted on raw instinct.

She took two lives that night. It wasn't the first time that her teeth got bloodied and it wouldn't be the last.

The man was the first to get intimate with her teeth and claws as she mauled his body. His screams caused her to growl in approval.

His companion was quick to wake up and her terrified green eyes locked with the wolf's blue eyes just as Tori lunged. Her death was quick but by no means painless.

With a satisfied howl, she lay down and after licking her paws clean she fell asleep.

The sun beaming harshly against Tori's eyelids woke the young girl the following morning. Reflexively she licked her lips, humming pleasantly at the taste covering her lips.

Tori stretched her muscles and looked around the clearing she was sleeping in, eyes widening in realisation. Blood and body parts covered most of the green and she felt bile rise up her throat. She swallowed, cringing at the acidic taste it left in her mouth and stood up, deciding to leave the remains of the humans to other animals and make her way back to the cabin so she could shower and get ready for school.

An hour later, blood free and dressed in hip-hugging black jeans and a purple top with black and purple shoes, she was driving Faye's motorbike to Hollywood Arts and made a mental note to thank her and return the bike. During the ride to school, her mind wondered back to Friday night and the kiss that had taken place in the car in front of Jade's house.

Tori arrived at school forty-five minutes late and, after giving a lame excuse to Lane, was off to her Music lesson, or what was left of her music lesson.

"Miss Vega, nice of you to finally join us." Her music teacher greeted.

The singer hardly reacted, a nod the only movement that showed she had even heard him, her mind get going between the kiss with Jade and the two campers she had mauled.

She took the only free seat and that was next to Jade since everybody was already with their partner.

"Hey." The wolf calmed down once she was next to her, Jade's scent doing wonders for her mind, even if she still wasn't ready to ponder why.

"Hi." Jade's voice was cold, unfeeling.

"Any ideas for - our song?" Tori asked, a yawn interrupting her mid-sentence.

Jade sighed "Monster by Skillet?"

With an agreeing nod, two girls spent the last ten or so minutes left of the lesson dividing the song.

The classes leading up to lunch flew by for Tori, who was hardly paying attention. Her mind replaying last night's blood bath and also the first human she had killed.

It was two years ago, her first new moon. She had felt an urge like no other to shift and give herself over to the beast within. During her run she had come across a homeless man, curled up in an alley, a cardboard the only protection from the cold pavement. His bleeding arm wound had attracted the wolf's attention and soon his arm wasn't the only part of his body bleeding. She had felt nothing until she woke up the following morning, covered in dried blood and pieces of human flesh in her mouth.

"-ri! Tori!" The brunette blinked, tearing herself away from the memory of her first kill and flinched back when she saw how close to her Cat's face was.

'Wait? Cat? When did Cat get here?' As she looked around her thoughts changed as she realised she wasn't in her science class anymore but at the lunch table with everyone, apart from Jade and Beck (who had chosen to sit with them despite his and Jade's break up the previous Friday), looking at her with worried expressions on their faces. 'When did I get here?'

"Sorry, must have spaced out for a minute." She could tell no-one believed her but they let it go and for that she was grateful.

"Have you got your song for Wednesday?" Robbie asked when the silence became too much.

The half-Latina smiled, or tried to at least, and nodded "What about you and Alex?"

The puppet master nodded "We both agreed on My Immortal by Evanescence."

With the conversation over, the shifter had nothing to take her mind off of her thoughts. When the flashbacks got too much, she stood up and without a word made her way towards the parking lot but not without catching Jade's worried gaze first.

She straddled Faye's bike and drove home. Once she arrived, she turned off and climbed off the bike and made her way inside and up to her room, calling Faye on the way up.

Her back pressed against the wall as soon as she was inside her bedroom room and the cold helped her breathing slow down. Tori sunk to the floor and hugged her knees to her chest as the wolf side of her told her not to care and the human side of her tried to come to terms with the fact that she had taken another human life.

A knock disturbed her from her thoughts and she whimpered.

She heard the door opening, followed by an arm wrapping around her shoulder. She turned in her friend's arms and buried her face in her shoulder as she let go of everything that was on her mind.

"I'm a monster." Tori whimpered, wishing the images in her mind away.

When the tears stopped she explained everything that had happened since Friday night. When she had stopped talking Faye pulled her into a hug and held her tightly, silently reassuring her that everything was going to work out the way it was supposed to.

"You're not, you had no control over what happened." Faye whispered, pulling away enough so that she could look into the other girl's eyes.

"I know, i know." Tori shook her head, pulling out of the embrace and starting to pace, "I, I liked it this time. I liked the taste of their blood on my tongue this morning, me not the wolf. I don't want to be a monster."
