"A Gray Wolf, actually." His voice was full of amusement. "I am one, too."768Please respect copyright.PENANApUOJJ89alI
"So that's why you teach..." I trailed off.768Please respect copyright.PENANAGFNF3HL7Z3
"Smarter than I thought you were," he commented lazily, closing his eyelids. "At a matter of fact..." My mind registered his tone and within seconds, I was filled with rage.768Please respect copyright.PENANA4F4lILJWvX
"YOU THINK THAT THIS IS FUNNY?!" I screamed. His eyes snapped open at the volume of my voice, as the school bell rang in the distance.768Please respect copyright.PENANAZErodff9rw
"Whoa, Wes," he said. "I think you should calm down."768Please respect copyright.PENANAL7vsLqi1eE
"I don't care what you think. Don't tell me what to do," I snapped and spun around towards the door. "And my name is not Wes," I added, walking out if the room. 768Please respect copyright.PENANATnmNXD9ozA
Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted him staring at me, drop-jawed.768Please respect copyright.PENANAkEmoEZgUtW
I stormed down the corridor, confused as to why all the rooms were empty. Grabbing my timetable, I checked what lesson I had. Of course. It was lunch.768Please respect copyright.PENANALxU0A6MLv1
And then a sharp blow exploded at my temple, weakening my stance. I sunk to my knees squeezing the sides of my head. Luna, please save me.768Please respect copyright.PENANAImejcphaYY
I couldn't bare it anymore... It was getting worse by the second.768Please respect copyright.PENANABripINDycN
I just wanted it all to end.768Please respect copyright.PENANA2IoRl9uMzh
Heaving myself off the floor, I staggered forward. My vision blurred and the world spun around me. I felt my legs weaken and fell forward.768Please respect copyright.PENANABqByCyXesL
I braced myself, awaiting the impact of crashing to the ground.768Please respect copyright.PENANAJIPhwIKzks
Only, it never came.768Please respect copyright.PENANABca0Pz43n8
"We have got to stop meeting like this," a voice, Liam's, said. I was suddenly aware that his arms were around my waist.768Please respect copyright.PENANAl3qAs8xjkI
"Err..." A jolt of electricity seemed to buzz through my veins, flooding my entire body. He smiled ever so slightly and scooped me up effortlessly.768Please respect copyright.PENANAFUIx8e4Jtf
"What's wrong, Weslyn?"768Please respect copyright.PENANArab4DK0Txa
"I... dizzy... can't see," I murmured incoherently.768Please respect copyright.PENANA6K4B6QeXaE
"Have you eaten yet?"768Please respect copyright.PENANAo5EnWzTYov
"No... I..."768Please respect copyright.PENANAtHntgxEkDh
"That explains it."768Please respect copyright.PENANADaMqZ1uOTX
"Explains, what?"768Please respect copyright.PENANA90uh5uWPlC
"Why you are dazed," he replied. "I'll take you to the cafeteria. Come on." Without thinking, he curled his fingers around my wrist and lead me to the corridor.768Please respect copyright.PENANArjm7bjf9q6
The moment I stepped into the cafeteria after Liam, a loud voice echoed through the area.768Please respect copyright.PENANAXeOk2XyKPJ
"Will!" a guy yelled. I scanned the room, searching for the owner of the voice. I soon found him, a dark-skinned guy racing in my direction. Within seconds, he was with Liam suffocating in his embrace. "William Moonstone, I have missed you so much." Liam laughed in response and pulled away from him. As I caught sight of his face, I knew there was something unusual about his appearance. I just couldn't quite place it.768Please respect copyright.PENANA5usyFVtes9
"So have I, Martyn." His face flushed slightly, as everyone was staring at us. "But I'm not making a scene am I?"768Please respect copyright.PENANA4T4PhKuhBW
"Of course not, you're Will," the guy, Martyn stated. "Will Moonstone does not like drawing attention to himself.768Please respect copyright.PENANAK8YBVXgZqb
"Umm... Yeah," Liam dismissed and then looked at me. "So, Weslyn, this is my best friend Martyn Grant. Marty, this is Weslyn."768Please respect copyright.PENANAEnEOrX1Ohr
"Weslyn Grayson?"768Please respect copyright.PENANAhQ1nMlBFQ1
"I'm under the impression that people know me better than I do."768Please respect copyright.PENANARhEYzBuakd
"Its famous around here, your name-last name is," he responded. "Are you sitting with us today, Weslyn?" I gave Liam a dazed look and nodded slightly.768Please respect copyright.PENANAhxJSX3tZZ8
"Yeah, why not?" I answered.768Please respect copyright.PENANAtNCI7MV53R
"I'll get your food for you," Liam told me.768Please respect copyright.PENANAsWDhJseF6u
"You don't have to-"768Please respect copyright.PENANAAaosZOwR09
"Don't be ridiculous," he said. "You're practically going to pass out. Go sit down with Martyn and rest."768Please respect copyright.PENANApZkHW2xnHq
I followed Martyn to a small dull table and sat down. 768Please respect copyright.PENANA2PfSWd4SZu
I glanced at him and at once realised what was so unusual about his features. Although his skin was deep brown and hair black like every other African boy, his eyes were gray in colour. Beautiful, metallic gray.768Please respect copyright.PENANAUYPB6oa756
"Aww... thanks, Weslyn. Though, I must admit, I've gotten that a lot."768Please respect copyright.PENANA9zpkYf9rHF
"You heard that?" I questioned with disbelief. "About your eyes?"768Please respect copyright.PENANAgdnhcYpFWi
"Of course I did," he grinned. "How are you finding Gray Valley?"768Please respect copyright.PENANAuuNQjScq6y
"Can I ask you a question?" I asked. He shrugged in response and watched me expectantly. "What are the local legends?"768Please respect copyright.PENANAimMBEmUJr5
"There are a lot of myths in Gray Valley and it has been told for almost a millennium, passed down through many generations..." he trailed off. "A lot of them are about Werewolves, which is why Lycanthropy is a mandatory lesson at our school; it makes up our history. It is said that Gray Valley was entirely inhabited by Werewolves for centuries before human settlement. The Werewolves were supposedly descended from the full-moon goddess, Luna, who was cursed by the wolf guardian and became the very first lycanthrope in the world."768Please respect copyright.PENANARaLmKVvmXl
"Why Werewolves, though? The myths could as easily have been about any other supernatural creature. It could have been Vampires-"768Please respect copyright.PENANAW9gwxXlbLG
"Vampires don't exist, Weslyn," Martyn chuckled.768Please respect copyright.PENANAwMr1xlI6Vz
"Obviously, they don't. But neither do Werewolves," I rolled my eyes.768Please respect copyright.PENANAAbCPrZhTE2
"Not according to every other citizen of Gray Valley."768Please respect copyright.PENANA0fFVAssmfz
"By Luna... You're kidding me, right?" I demanded. The expression on his face showed that he was serious. "Wait, so you believe in Werewolves?768Please respect copyright.PENANAKZmQH59CMc
"Yeah, I do." His answer was so abrupt, I didn't know how to reply768Please respect copyright.PENANA2pAsnZnvKw
"But-"768Please respect copyright.PENANARMGbACo6SR
"When you grow up with frequently unexplained animal attacks and howling noises every full moon, you can't help but believe in it." Animal attacks? Howling? Full moon? My uncertainty dissolved, as my mind began to consider the possibility of the existence of Werewolves.768Please respect copyright.PENANAPVIEWvc1Ky
And then it occurred to me...768Please respect copyright.PENANAzzvjcGW5v4
If West Grayson wasn't lying when he said that Werewolves existed, there was a minor chance that maybe he was being truthful when he told me of Gray Wolves. Could there be a chance that everything he said was real?768Please respect copyright.PENANAvhjcpuYiCy
Was there a possibility that I was the beast I saw in my memories?
