"The moon arises and the beast will come out..." I thought about it in my own words... Then I listend to him run away, his feet uneven and heavy on the ground, so unlike a normal human. I said the next words aloud. "Oh. My. God... I know what he does... is... will be..." I tossed my hair back in a pony tail and ran homeward, leaping over the rocks in my way. I told Dad that I wouldn't be home for a few days or would be in school. I needed to drink. THe thirst was burning through my throat and out of my skin. I hunted that night. and went to school in the next few days... Adam didn't realize, I guess, that It was the weekend. Silly him. Well, now I know that it was a lie. I would slip into school during the day, and slip him notes without him seeing me, I would run so fast, a blurr to even a vampire like me. And I would tell him to meet me. Here in the meadow, and I would tell him what he needed to now know...

I rushed through the woods, heavy panting, paws connecting with dirt, knowing my way easily. Idiot. .. there's no school, you were meeting her on saturday! Gah why did I say that? . . .I hope I made the right choice. I leapt into my window and my skin sowed itself back on. I watched it for once, knitting in places, criss cross and in and out patterns. I looked up and Scotty stood in my door.
"Where you been crazy?" Hate it when he calls me that. . . I sighed and could only answer.
"out. . ."
"With?"
"The girl. . ."
"From the school yard?" I nodded, crossing my own arms. "What happened?" He knows. . . All of us are in touch with something. Scotty can tell lies or not the whole truth. I can tell the right path (It's why I'm such a good tracker) and so on and so forth.
"Noth. . ."
"What did you say?" His voice grew loud.
"Couldn't say it if I wanted to. . ." I whispered and went to bed.

After the note was in place in Adam's notebook, I disappeared from school, heading to the meadow. I hunted a few animals to pass the time, hoping Adam would really come tonight. But there was something that was tugging in my stomach, something saying to me to just leave, and not to meet him here. I had my fill for the night and it was only a hour or so that he would show if he got the message.

I found the note when I got home and I had just enough time to get to the meadow. I grabbed the jacket and was out the door but Brandon and Justin were waiting. "Where you goin'?"
"Meetin' Jesse from school." I put on my jacket and tried to walk past them, they stopped me.
"You haven't said anything about us have you?"
"Not like I could. . ."
"You know what we mean Adam." Bradnon said.
"No. . .k?" They split apart and I ran to the meadow seeing Jesse standing there. "Jesse. .. why weren't you at school today? What's goin' on?" There's no way she got it. . .

I took my time in telling him everything. "I was thinking about what you told me and had to take care of personal stuff..." Yeah, feeding. "I know what you are... you're a..." I choked on the words. "You're a... werewolf arn't you?" I should tell him what I was too, but the thing was, we're mortal enemies. Okay- I'm not mortal. And Adam can't know that, even if a vampire is extremely uncommon, he can't know about the lengends of the blood-drinkers.

I shook my head. "I never thought you'd guess it. . . so what're gonna do now that you know?" I hoped she wouldn't do anything but say it was ok. With my luck though my family would have to move and the old onse would have to devour her. Don't like the sound of it but it's the way it would have to be if we were exposed. . .

"I can't be you're friend. I can't be near you. Its not that I'm in danger, but so are you and I can't risk your life at any cost. I'm sorry. I'm running away if push comes to shove. And you need to stay away from me. As far as possible. I'm not affraid of you, but its my secret and I can't let you know at all." If I could cry, I would have been. "I'm... so sorry, Adam..."

"I'm sorry but. . . if you can't live with the secret then. . .the old ones need to speak with you." Eat more like it. . .but we can't risk it. I took a step forward. "And even if you can what could possibly happen? I'm almost invincible, have nine others to help me and have huge claws with fangs. . ."

Fangs? He has freaking fangs? Wow, but mine have venom and will kill him! if he knew about me, he'd run off, he would have too, my temptations are too big and would eventually take toll on me. "Look, I can handle it trust me, but I can't stay here. Don't worry though, 'kay? I just can't be your friend and if I stay, well, lets just say that things would turn out very badly..."

"How am I supposed to not worry when you're telling me we can't be friends? That I'm in danger. . .I can protect myself. . ." I sighed. "But I won't force anything. . .to bad. . .wish I knew what we had could have been." I ran then. . .I couldn't understand why but I needed to.
