"I AM MARYANNE," the dark-skinned girl introduced herself to us, barely a minute afterwards. I was still dumbstruck from finding out who she was and found I couldn't respond. "Who are you all?"8964 copyright protection488ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zGDiu0Wdy 維尼
Maryanne Grant was beautiful. She was beautiful in a gentle, yet fragile way. Seeing her properly, I knew that for sure. She was small; even smaller than me... Which was definitely saying something. My small size often made people mistake me for someone much younger. Even her voice was strangely soft and light.8964 copyright protection488ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99bzWBHTfI 維尼
Her dark skin was smooth and flawless, with no single mark tainting it. She long hair that could only be described as midnight. It seemed to flow forever; perhaps looking longer on her than it would on an average person.8964 copyright protection488ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5rMuyr8jw 維尼
But it was her eyes... Her eyes, that held me frozen in place.8964 copyright protection488ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXpnIeXXBG 維尼
Like all Gray Wolves, her eyes were... Gray. But I seriously doubted that it could be described in that way. Calling her eyes gray would been insult to her.8964 copyright protection488ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkCbWAxeCH 維尼
Her eyes were like quicksilver.8964 copyright protection488ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXMITJJwxA 維尼
At first sight, they were metallic... They shone with peace and tranquillity. But the longer I stared; the darker it became.8964 copyright protection488ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj3eAWvCK2 維尼
There was something sinister lurking beneath her beauty. In fact, it was more than just sinister... It was deadly.8964 copyright protection488ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ7eyLZ47e 維尼
I didn't quite know what it was, but there was something about her that was strange. It was as if her slightness and beauty was only a facade... A facade that I couldn't see through.8964 copyright protection488ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdiZAeV7zQ 維尼
Liam was the first to break the silence. And when he did, it made my attention return to the present.8964 copyright protection488ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dEHTllxPs 維尼
"Mary... It's me, William," Liam answered, a smile filling his face. "Can't you tell, anymore?"8964 copyright protection488ＰＥＮＡＮＡliu3Vfhi5O 維尼
"Will?" she inquired, her face full of shock. "Is that really you? You've grown at least half a metre taller."8964 copyright protection488ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9HAON28ZB 維尼
"Well, that's what happens when you leave a Gray Wolf during their adolescent years," he teased. "You haven't seen me since before I was 10, Mary. Of course, I've grown." She, too, smiled and for a moment the dark glint in her eyes vanished. "This is Bryanna but she prefers-"8964 copyright protection488ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFNJy30ZWZ 維尼
"A Brown Wolf," she stated, the malice returning to her face. The happiness on her face had disappeared without a trace. "This girl is a Brown Wolf - no, a monster."8964 copyright protection488ＰＥＮＡＮＡcukDiK390o 維尼
Anna blinked away her tears and glanced down at Mary, her lips set in a straight line.8964 copyright protection488ＰＥＮＡＮＡamO2woza2j 維尼
"Mary-" West warned her.8964 copyright protection488ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9RoYvAsh5 維尼
"No, West," she snapped, interrupting my brother. "I want to know about this. Since when did the Grayson home accomodate mindless beasts?"8964 copyright protection488ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4furYoFpfk 維尼
"You," I growled, stepping forward. How dare she? How dare she insult my friend? Just thinking how upset Anna was, already, angered me beyond reason. "Don't you dare insult my friend!" Mary recoiled slightly, as I felt the mark on my neck burn and my eyes, presumably turned red. But then her face cleared up and she giggled.8964 copyright protection488ＰＥＮＡＮＡL94zD3hvDv 維尼
"Oh my Luna," she managed. "You're still exactly the same... Aren't you, Wes?"8964 copyright protection488ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aixDtpavB 維尼
Wes. She called me by the nickname I hated the most. Deep down, I suspected that she was doing it on purpose.8964 copyright protection488ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BlkM44O5r 維尼
"My name isn't Wes," I dead-panned, keeping my eyes fixed on her. "I'd rather you not call me that."8964 copyright protection488ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwHBviBq3K 維尼
"Still as fiesty as ever, I see." I glared down at her, annoyed at her voice.8964 copyright protection488ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IiWSMECKT 維尼
"I have no idea what you're talking about," I replied flatly.8964 copyright protection488ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxlUZoVaeN 維尼
"Will," she turned to face Liam. "From the way her mark burnt, I thought you fixed the bond, already." He nodded. "Then why can't she remember me?"8964 copyright protection488ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0opG0PKit 維尼
"It only happened several days ago," he reasoned. "Her memories will gradually return over the next few days."8964 copyright protection488ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrraS16oCb 維尼
"Well, I can hardly wait," she smirked. "I can't wait for you to remember me, Wes."8964 copyright protection488ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw9NKcJMfP 維尼
"But I-"8964 copyright protection488ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKSflJEmPA 維尼
"Mary?" a voice asked incredulously. I turned and found Martyn at the doorway, staring at her with disbelief. "Is that really you?"8964 copyright protection488ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjlhM6Vdak 維尼
"It's been a while, Martyn," she greeted. As they continued to stare at one another, Michael stepped into the room.8964 copyright protection488ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUA4Iomzs8 維尼
And for the first time I had ever seen him, he was smiling.8964 copyright protection488ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RIB6N5OLb 維尼
"Maryanne," he said quietly. With no further words, they instinctively moved towards each other, with Michael wrapping his arms around her.8964 copyright protection488ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTCziK8Vlo 維尼
"Father," she whispered.8964 copyright protection488ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1z1gBEkSw 維尼
