As soon as I was on the main level, I walked towards my art class where my bag was waiting. I sank into my seat and pulled out my sketch book and started drawing the wolf that I had seen Friday night. I didn't care what Dakota said, that thing had been there and was the size of a horse. I pulled out my prisma colored pencils and started adding detail of the alley and finished the wolf. I drew in the garbage cans that I had hid behind that night after those drunks had left.

By the time I was done, it looked almost exactly like what happened that night. A frightened girl with a blade against her neck with a blonde male on top of her and the other two males behind him, smirking. In the background was the wolf, teeth bared and brown eyes narrowed. I heard the bell ring and I went back to perfecting the wolf as students started filing down the hallways and entering their classes.

"Leo, you are truly a talented girl," Mr. Hancock smiled as he came into the class room. "That drawing is very detailed for one being so dark."

"Thank you Mr. Hancock," I smiled then he walked over to his desk.

Dakota and Todd came in and I ignored them and went back to drawing. The tardy bell rang and Hancock took roll. I could feel Dakota's glare and Todd's curious gaze on me as Mr. Hancock told us that today was a day to catch up on any assignments that we hadn't turned in then went back to his desk and sat down.

"Leo, you are a really good dancer and I love what you did to your hair," Todd gushed flirtatiously and I narrowed my eyes on my drawing.

"Todd, I appreciate your compliment, but stop flirting with me," I spoke evenly, not even looking up. "As for you, Dakota, stop glaring at me, it's starting to piss me off."

"What are you drawing?" his even tone made me want to punch him.

"Just something from memory," I shrugged casually and shifted so my sketchbook was at an angle, the top leaning against the desk so neither of them could look.

I finally finished it towards the end of class and closed the cover and set it on the desk so I could put my pencils away. Dakota grabbed it and started flipping through the pages and I growled in my mind. I stood up and walked around the desk so I was behind Dakota and slapped him upside the head and grabbed my sketchbook back then slid it into my bag and walked up to Mr. Hancock's desk.

"Can I help you Leo?"

"I was wondering if I could leave early to get over to the pool," I smiled at him. "I have several things that I need to get from my locker before fifth hour."

"Of course you can," he smiled back and I walked out.

At my locker, I grabbed my weapon bag and gym bag then walked to the pool. I locked everything in the locker after I pulled on my one piece black swim suit. I French braided my hair down my back as the bell rang and I walked out to the pool where Mr. Newman was coming out of his office.

"You did great with the drill team today, Leo," he smiled as he marked me on the roll.

I smiled then dove into the shallow end and swam under the bulkhead and to the deep end. I emerged from the water and heard several cheers from the class's flirty boys, Eric being among them. They jumped into the water around me then came up and complimented me on my dancing during the assembly. The compliments turned into splashing and water wars.

I dove under the water and grabbed two of the boys by their ankles and pulled them under then grabbed the other two and then changed my position so I could get out of the circle of boys. Something hit me in the back and I spun around and saw Dakota inches away. His eyes seemed to turn brown and I frantically tried to swim away but he grabbed me by the waist and pushed me towards the bottom of the pool and under the bulkhead. I kneed him and tried to get away from him but he was stronger. His fist connected with my stomach and I coughed, dragging in water. I stared at him wide eyed and his eyes turned back to blue and he seemed panicked as he pulled me back towards the surface.

I coughed and pulled myself out of the water on the opposite side that the other students were on and coughed up some water. Dakota pulled himself out next to me and hit my back to get the water out. I spun and pushed him back into the pool then ran across the bulkhead and the four boys that had been playing with me earlier, pulled me into their arms.

"Leo are you okay?" Mr. Newman came to me and put two fingers on my neck to see if my pulse was okay. "What happened?"

"I don't know," I coughed and Eric handed me a water bottle. "Ask grumpy over there."

"Dakota," Mr. Newman turned on him as he pulled himself back out of the water.

"One of those boys accidently kicked her and she hit her head. I went to help her and she swallowed some water," he spoke calmly. "After that she started to panic a little and I pulled her back to the surface."

"Okay, Leo, go get dressed. I want you to go to the school nurse and make sure that nothing is damaged."

"I'm fine," I spoke as I walked back to the girl's locker room.

I showered and dressed in a tank top and sweats and tossed my other clothes in my gym bag as well as my swimsuit that was wrapped up in my towel. I slung my things over my shoulder and walked out of the building towards my car.

"Leo, we need to talk," I heard Dakota call and heard him catch up to me.

"What is there to talk about, you attacked me," I snapped as I unlocked my car and slid my things into the passenger seat.

"No I didn't…"

"Your eyes turn brown, you punched my stomach, you made me start drowning under that bulkhead then your eyes turn back to blue, maybe you just some psycho. First that stalker now you," I muttered as I opened my door, but Dakota closed it and made me look at him. "Leave me alone Dakota."

"We need to talk. Why are you being so cold? What happened?"

"Meeting you happened!" I snapped, pushing him back. "Your constant mood changes are giving me a headache and your glaring irritates me to no end! Why can't you just leave me alone?"

"Leo…"

"Don't give me excuses Dakota," I growled, cutting him off. "I've had enough of listening to lies and excuses."

His hand came up and he pinched the bridge of his nose as he took a deep breath. I crossed my arms and glared at him as he stood like that but soon I got impatient and turned around and opened my car door and slid in and started the engine. Dakota came closer and got in the way so I couldn't close my door.

"I'm sorry, but you deserve the truth. Pull out your sketchbook to that drawing you were working on in class," he whispered and I narrowed my eyes at him as I opened my bag and pulled out my book and turned to the page. "I was wrong to laugh at you that night when you were already in a stressed situation. Truth is I did see the wolf…"

I stayed quiet and glared at him, waiting for him to continue.

"I know you want to believe me and I could prove I saw that wolf, but I can't do it here. Tonight at ten, go to the bridge that is to the west of your house. Meet me under that bridge and I'll give you my proof, but you must promise to not freak out."

"Why?" I growled.

"Look at my eyes then look at the eyes you drew in that picture." His eyes turned brown and I stared at him for a few seconds before looking down at my picture. Their eyes seemed to be the same. "Can you see it? I don't want to lie to you anymore."

I blinked in surprise and looked at him. I could see something lurking behind his brown eyes before they changed back to blue. He sighed and stepped back so I could close my door if I wanted. I stared up at him and saw that he seemed to be in pain and his hands clenched.

"If you wish to truly know then meet me tonight," he whispered before walking away.
