Chapter 8: A Walk in The Woods

Casey's POV

I slammed my books down in frustration. Why bother doing homework when you can't even understand it?

If I could I would just skip school together. Unlike my nerdy sister school and I just didn't mix well. Or at all. Numbers and letters just got all mixed up in my head all the time so why bother trying to make sense of it? I never could make sense of it and I never will be able to make sense of it.

The only reason I ever bothered to go to school was because of my friends and my boyfriend. Well boyfriends. I had more then one. Not that anyone knew that. Had being the key word there. Moving has taken away the only things I ever truly cared about. Friends, boyfriends, and most importantly popularity. Not that it really mattered to much. With time I'd gain all that back.

Parties, sex, and alcohol/drugs. They had all these things in a small town, right? It didn't seem like there was a shortage of men here at least. The only problem was that the hottest guy at this school seemed to only be into my sister. Why my sister?! Arghh! It was enough to drive me insane! How could my sister find a guy here before I did?!

Not that it mattered. I'd have a whole bunch of men soon enough. I couldn't stay single for long. Me and being single didn't mix well at all. I sex and lots of it. It's what I was used to.

A sudden bout of nausea hit me badly and I had to run to the bathroom. I knocked my sister out of the way to get there. She looked irritated but not surprised.

I barely made it in time. That was the third time in the last week I've gotten really bad nausea. I hoped that I wasn't getting sick. I stayed their long enough to be absolutely certain that it wasn't coming back. Once I was sure the nausea wouldn't come back I stood up carefully and walked away.

I decided that fresh air was the best possible thing for me at the moment. Even if it was raining. As I was getting my umbrella I heard a noise behind me.

I looked back and saw Buddy sitting there with his leash in his mouth. I smiled. I would never admit it in a million years to anyone but I actually enjoyed the company of my sister's dog. His blue eyes just seemed to look right into my body sometimes. I always thought he was intelligent for a husky.

"Okay come on"

He got up excitedly and followed me.

No one even seemed to notice that we had left. I was fine with that though.

I sat down when I reached the forest. I was starting to feel tired and nauseous again.

Buddy curled up right next to me and kept me warm. He kept bumping my stomach with his head and whimpering softly. A slightly annoying habit that he had picked up recently.

I just pet his furry head.

A loud noise in the nearby woods caught both of our attentions. Buddy sniffed the air as if he could smell something.

Then suddenly a large, no massive, silver-grayish wolf emerged from the woods. The wolf looked just as surprised to see me as I was to see him.

He was easily the largest wolf that I had ever seen in my life.

The wolf looked ancient for some reason. Ancient yet incredibly strong and incredibly powerful at the same time. For a second it looked like he even bowed to me. Kneeled or, well, I really didn't know to be honest.

I jumped up quickly, startled by the wolf. That turned out to be a bad move though. The nausea came back and it came back badly. I couldn't hold it in.
