After working at the book store I drove to Sam's house since I was human again, at least for now. I knew that this would be my last year as a human.

I arrived at Sam's and saw no one else was there everyone must still be wolves. So I went to the drawer that said Kriss and grabbed my pajamas. I cooked some eggs and sat down in the living room thinking "What am I going to do about the girl?"

The wolves began to howl, I put my dishes in the sink and washed them. I refilled the wolves drawers. I went outside and felt the cold but it made me shiver so badly that my stomach churned and my skin was starting to turn into fur and my hands into claws I threw up and shifted into my wolf.

I went back inside and smelt something burning I saw my mother trying to cook, she was a terrible cook. "Mom what in God's name are you trying to cook?!" I said. "Oh sorry sweetie I tried cooking, I guess I shouldn't." She said. "I agree, could you go to your studio and draw or something let me fix this." I said. "Okay thanks." She said and walked upstairs.

"God what have you done?!" I whisper-yelled. I clean the pan and the stove. I get the pan and start to cook what she tried to.

Then Mom comes down and says,"Thanks and I'm going to a art party I'll be back tomorrow your father is coming with me stay safe okay?" "Okay mom have fun." I say.

When I hear her shut the door and drive out of the driveway I sigh a relived sigh. I finish cooking and clean my dishes. I head up stairs to my room and get ready for bed. I have an early start tomorrow.

*BEEP BEEP BEEP*
My alarm wakes me up in a start, I'm not use to the sound. I get up and stretch. I get some jeans and a black T-shirt and head to the shower.

Once I'm done with my shower I head down stairs to cook some breakfast. I hurry and eat, not wanting to be late.

Once finished I wash my dishes and get my backpack, and my car keys and start my car, and head to school.

Once at school, in my first period I sit in between Charlie and Melody listening to Mr. Acker the town cop tell us about the wolves killing a student named Josh and some students, in the back are wearing all black to represent his death and his sister Isabel is surprisingly not wearing black maybe she is done with mourning him.

"The wolves should be killed all of them!" Mr.Acker saids. At this I look up because, no they shouldn't be killed my wolf is there.

"What will the town do about the killings?" Mrs.Clark asks. "Well from what I've heard at the office they're organizing a group of people to shoot them in the woods.

My heart started racing no they can't do that the wolves only killed one person. "No they can't do that, only one student was killed!" I protest. The whole class stares at me,"Forgive me if I'm wrong, but weren't you attacked by wolves awhile ago?" Isabel asks.

I shrink down,"Yes, but I wasn't hurt and it was six years ago." "Why are you protecting the wolves when you got attacked by them. They killed my brother. They deserve to die!" She said. "Just because your brother got killed by a wolf doesn't mean all of them have to die. The wolf could have been using self defense." She laughed a cruel laugh," My brother wouldn't do anything to a wolf and the wolf killed him, either way he's dead." She said.

"Mr. Acker do you have evidence that Josh is dead?" I asked. "I'm sorry, but I'm no allowed to talk about ongoing investigations." He said. "Investigation?! So you don't have proof that he's dead?!" I asked. "Well if you really must know I'm not really suppose to say, but no we have no proof for as of right now he's missing." He said

"Then you don't have a reason to shoot the wolves, and Isabel he could still be alive." I say. "Do you really think so, cause I think the wolves pulled him into the woods and ate him." She said. "You have no proof." I said. She just sighed and kept quiet.

On my way home from school. I saw some police officers and people with guns heading off into the woods. I pulled over and ran out towards them,"STOP SHOOTING!!!" I yelled. "Skyler what are you doing here?" Mr.Acker asked. I said,"I live around the corner and you have to stop shooting, my friend is in there she's talking pictures." I lied. Mr.Acker stared into my eyes,"Are you serious?" "YES IM SERIOUS TELL THEM TO STOP!" I yelled. I ran into the woods telling the people to stop shooting.

Mr.Acker caught up with me and said,"What do you think you are doing, trying to kill yourself?! I'm taking you home!" I tried to get out of his grip, but couldn't manage.

As he took me home I heard a lot of gunshots.
