"A Gray Wolf, actually." His voice was full of amusement. "I am one, too."851Please respect copyright.PENANAI9VQK5EgS2
"So that's why you teach..." I trailed off.851Please respect copyright.PENANAouMFcEA8EN
"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.851Please respect copyright.PENANARoXOUg4XHP
"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.851Please respect copyright.PENANAogwhATJ4UF
"Whoa, Wes," he said. "I think you should calm down."851Please respect copyright.PENANAsd9eCvggOy
"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. 851Please respect copyright.PENANA4AjLPCbNw5
Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted him staring at me, drop-jawed.851Please respect copyright.PENANAsCaj8Mp4i6
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.851Please respect copyright.PENANAznZBYPwG6p
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.851Please respect copyright.PENANAxAApjXoNRv
I couldn't bare it anymore... It was getting worse by the second.851Please respect copyright.PENANAglTBsbPfVc
I just wanted it all to end.851Please respect copyright.PENANAgdFPUPXFhA
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.851Please respect copyright.PENANAwhwya7WWJl
I braced myself, awaiting the impact of crashing to the ground.851Please respect copyright.PENANA8Z5JB0sOck
Only, it never came.851Please respect copyright.PENANAwZN8PEoelh
"We have got to stop meeting like this," a voice, Liam's, said. I was suddenly aware that his arms were around my waist.851Please respect copyright.PENANAQQL0KxM0Vh
"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.851Please respect copyright.PENANAKtTRzuVZ4i
"What's wrong, Weslyn?"851Please respect copyright.PENANA3mPNmdfjib
"I... dizzy... can't see," I murmured incoherently.851Please respect copyright.PENANAWgnGkjYtMt
"Have you eaten yet?"851Please respect copyright.PENANAYo4VPqTUDC
"No... I..."851Please respect copyright.PENANAvG6cIPiNYj
"That explains it."851Please respect copyright.PENANAvV0UdWYxRG
"Explains, what?"851Please respect copyright.PENANAhIeCNWHtAD
"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.851Please respect copyright.PENANAdl592piXkY
The moment I stepped into the cafeteria after Liam, a loud voice echoed through the area.851Please respect copyright.PENANAGcfy9mhdzd
"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.851Please respect copyright.PENANApjdQhaAmTO
"So have I, Martyn." His face flushed slightly, as everyone was staring at us. "But I'm not making a scene am I?"851Please respect copyright.PENANAei4ghrokeJ
"Of course not, you're Will," the guy, Martyn stated. "Will Moonstone does not like drawing attention to himself.851Please respect copyright.PENANADDhLENeCHa
"Umm... Yeah," Liam dismissed and then looked at me. "So, Weslyn, this is my best friend Martyn Grant. Marty, this is Weslyn."851Please respect copyright.PENANAvxaeCeWHXZ
"Weslyn Grayson?"851Please respect copyright.PENANAk8WBhug6i5
"I'm under the impression that people know me better than I do."851Please respect copyright.PENANA6sjcH3Meig
"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.851Please respect copyright.PENANA3t00UvODcG
"Yeah, why not?" I answered.851Please respect copyright.PENANAOjWudjSxmA
"I'll get your food for you," Liam told me.851Please respect copyright.PENANAgPk8BGvLde
"You don't have to-"851Please respect copyright.PENANAKts38VGDig
"Don't be ridiculous," he said. "You're practically going to pass out. Go sit down with Martyn and rest."851Please respect copyright.PENANAU7NN1pbzoH
I followed Martyn to a small dull table and sat down. 851Please respect copyright.PENANAACgqD2lDBo
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.851Please respect copyright.PENANAb3bYwJDhEC
"Aww... thanks, Weslyn. Though, I must admit, I've gotten that a lot."851Please respect copyright.PENANAWcZz7y5Dbc
"You heard that?" I questioned with disbelief. "About your eyes?"851Please respect copyright.PENANAgmdnGmpZg7
"Of course I did," he grinned. "How are you finding Gray Valley?"851Please respect copyright.PENANAM7F9OxGUjf
"Can I ask you a question?" I asked. He shrugged in response and watched me expectantly. "What are the local legends?"851Please respect copyright.PENANAZMJ5JzF3FR
"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."851Please respect copyright.PENANA6CIjz0sEiu
"Why Werewolves, though? The myths could as easily have been about any other supernatural creature. It could have been Vampires-"851Please respect copyright.PENANAmTxP4TEnUK
"Vampires don't exist, Weslyn," Martyn chuckled.851Please respect copyright.PENANAyV3gBtbnIq
"Obviously, they don't. But neither do Werewolves," I rolled my eyes.851Please respect copyright.PENANAAJEOIe9RQC
"Not according to every other citizen of Gray Valley."851Please respect copyright.PENANA6qTU77yjp8
"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?851Please respect copyright.PENANATC7XAvAfq3
"Yeah, I do." His answer was so abrupt, I didn't know how to reply851Please respect copyright.PENANAz2bbRdkyXZ
"But-"851Please respect copyright.PENANA81HiPDboNY
"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.851Please respect copyright.PENANAxqOOP9qYD8
And then it occurred to me...851Please respect copyright.PENANAyIISej4yvZ
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?851Please respect copyright.PENANA7b5WyVUluY
Was there a possibility that I was the beast I saw in my memories?
