"Mr Moonstone, you are late." A man stood with his arms crossed over his chest, reading some sort of list with his gaze. 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVFNtkjiQX
His hair was dark; almost black and fell in messy curls. And unlike most history teachers, he wasn't particularly old. He seemed to be in about in his late twenties and looked nothing like a regular teacher. 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6RyoS0dXI
"I will not let this go. Stay after class to organise detention."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2DEhEJlak
He glanced up from the paperwork on his table and my eyes widened with shock. It was his eyes. They were the colour of raging storm clouds and made an icy shiver run through my spine.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ704xSxtfHZ
"And who are you?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjMkm87Hzw
It took me a second to realise that he was addressing me. Even when I did, I found that I couldn't reply. My whole body was filled with unjustifiable fear and my voice had disappeared.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLm6GfA8gL
One of the students snickered and I spotted the other boy from the bus, Bryan, smirking at me. I remembered exactly what Liam had said about him...910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1nHqt32uu
"You deserved that," he sniggered loudly.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpRvcODLFy
"Mr Mitchell, shut up," Mr Grayson roared. "Mr Moonstone, who is this little girl?" 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzvZy3mg7g
Little? What was it with people at Gray Valley calling me little? I wasn't even that small.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL3js46H3U
"This is Weslyn Grayson, Mr Grayson," Liam filled in for me.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAiDqOTp2d
This was Mr Grayson? His eyes narrowed at me and his mouth was set in a straight line. I subconsciously felt myself mirror his expression. 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvH66rtNxKF
There was something about him... Painful... I tried to recall where I recognised him from, only for intense force to bury itself into my head from both temples. My teeth bit down on my bottom lip to suppress the yelp that was threatening to surface.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKotzz4EZRq
"I'm going to ask you to stay after class, as well, Miss Grayson," he gritted out. Even in the midst of extreme anguish, I couldn't help but notice how angry he sounded. "Now both of you sit down." 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1F4FaTKr0I
The second he turned away to write on the board, the pain evaporated, perplexing more than I could manage.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbxkKvmOaT
"Is he like that... all the time?" I asked, my voice still shaky from the aftermath of the pressure on my skull. 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOn0nbwYDx
Even my usually flawless vision was hazy. I slipped into a desk in the last row after Liam and dropped my head on the table.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnlgiZ0LDW
"More or less," he retorted. "But we should probably shut up. He has the better hearing then most people think."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXvaNLdxMc
"Thank you for complimenting my hearing, Mr Moonstone." My mouth fell open. My Grayson was all the way on the other side of the classroom and yet he heard every word we said.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Zjry9GwUJ
"See?" he mouthed.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCLZvYlLCp
"For the love of Luna..." I whispered.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7wxeFCOHc
"Excellent, Miss." I looked up to meet the gray eyes, unsure whether or not he was talking yo me. "Yes, you, Miss Grayson. You knew our discussion topic even though you're new and arrived late. Would you like to repeat what you said for the rest of the idiots who don't pay attention in my class?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUis1d3nUwg
"For the love of Luna?" I repeated uncertainly.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzgA8Sdh6S
"And do you by any chance know who this infamous Luna is?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgMelmMvy5
"Some kind of celestial being?" I took a guess. His eyebrows shot up and a low growl escaped his mouth. "I think..." I trailed off. 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedub2rBcE1
Like I had told Liam, before, I had no idea where my catch phrase came from; only that my mother had often used it.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3O8qWaQvc
"The Angel of the full-moon," Liam interrupted from beside me. I shot him a grateful smile. "She was cursed by the wolf guardian and became part wolf; the original lycanthrope."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXUdDrTnL3
"Well, except for the fact that I asked Miss Grayson and you answered for her, thank you, Mr Moonstone. At least now I know someone pays attention to Mythology," his voice loudened. "As for the rest of you morons, why aren't you taking notes?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhgHiWx4g9
A hush went through the class, as the students leant over their books to make notes.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdBUOikbjk
"Thanks," I told Liam. "How did you know that?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPLguFuUXV
"It's like Mr Grayson said," he responded. "I was brought up with the local legends."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3U9fxJsFug
"But I don't get it. Why-" The school bell rang cutting me off and dismissing the class. Why was Gray Valley so into werewolves?910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzTDWNxjef
He stood up and glanced at me. "We have to go second lesson, what subject do you have?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPG7fuTFKJ3
"Senior Latin," I frowned. "In Room 15."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mqs4JMYtF
"Room 15 is just across the corridor. I've got Senior Hebrew, so I'll see you later, yeah?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9P5gZdr6Q
"Er... yeah."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh44y9KmIaD
He gave me one last smile and left the room, leaving me alone. By Luna. This school was getting worse by the second. Why did I have to move to Gray Valley in the first place? Grabbing my exercise book off the table, I made my way outside.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjodfdCX48
"Where do you think your going?" Mr Grayson's voice was full of authority as he stepped in front of me, blocking the doorway. "I thought I told you to stay after class."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSgEasW3Uj
"You let Liam go," I pointed out. "Besides, I have second lesson, Mr Grayson."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhayS9DbVOt
I ducked under his arm but he clasped his fingers around my wrist, forcing me to stop. The contact made a prickling sensation creep up my spine and I bit my lip.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zqDVtrGbG
I sensed it. I sensed it from the very beginning. The rush of emotions I felt at his touch made it obvious.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aUU0f08A4
