"A Gray Wolf, actually." His voice was full of amusement. "I am one, too."846Please respect copyright.PENANA8OxcmONsSq
"So that's why you teach..." I trailed off.846Please respect copyright.PENANAxfx0SSjejK
"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.846Please respect copyright.PENANAXCPxGQL6ln
"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.846Please respect copyright.PENANAeufyaBvw0P
"Whoa, Wes," he said. "I think you should calm down."846Please respect copyright.PENANAAEF6Ms61HJ
"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. 846Please respect copyright.PENANAy3tVQgDfzX
Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted him staring at me, drop-jawed.846Please respect copyright.PENANA00qpDoZ7VS
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.846Please respect copyright.PENANAJdHLuyPRRN
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.846Please respect copyright.PENANAvClmxFDSvO
I couldn't bare it anymore... It was getting worse by the second.846Please respect copyright.PENANATnCg3fEQ51
I just wanted it all to end.846Please respect copyright.PENANA4BCAlJLpj8
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.846Please respect copyright.PENANAMcyWMRW945
I braced myself, awaiting the impact of crashing to the ground.846Please respect copyright.PENANAUHxtRaByXi
Only, it never came.846Please respect copyright.PENANAgl4DNkauJX
"We have got to stop meeting like this," a voice, Liam's, said. I was suddenly aware that his arms were around my waist.846Please respect copyright.PENANAiRwxkVA4cY
"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.846Please respect copyright.PENANAoZqFJq8ckr
"What's wrong, Weslyn?"846Please respect copyright.PENANAstJD1dqZrm
"I... dizzy... can't see," I murmured incoherently.846Please respect copyright.PENANAezSWcXvJ1C
"Have you eaten yet?"846Please respect copyright.PENANAmj8EAXhsgi
"No... I..."846Please respect copyright.PENANAIwXcd5J2rJ
"That explains it."846Please respect copyright.PENANAAdB8fJBZt4
"Explains, what?"846Please respect copyright.PENANAWKtNCjuYSA
"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.846Please respect copyright.PENANAF0pJ6OUBml
The moment I stepped into the cafeteria after Liam, a loud voice echoed through the area.846Please respect copyright.PENANAASsEh4HfAe
"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.846Please respect copyright.PENANALzJS4swAkZ
"So have I, Martyn." His face flushed slightly, as everyone was staring at us. "But I'm not making a scene am I?"846Please respect copyright.PENANAMOg0q5nuiE
"Of course not, you're Will," the guy, Martyn stated. "Will Moonstone does not like drawing attention to himself.846Please respect copyright.PENANAns1uJcMEDo
"Umm... Yeah," Liam dismissed and then looked at me. "So, Weslyn, this is my best friend Martyn Grant. Marty, this is Weslyn."846Please respect copyright.PENANA6Dv3Dqh1KR
"Weslyn Grayson?"846Please respect copyright.PENANAaE2XtXng4v
"I'm under the impression that people know me better than I do."846Please respect copyright.PENANAEJMZY8uRvN
"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.846Please respect copyright.PENANAFRvrSyUODL
"Yeah, why not?" I answered.846Please respect copyright.PENANAFPf3ssqpr7
"I'll get your food for you," Liam told me.846Please respect copyright.PENANAPDKGZLjfGv
"You don't have to-"846Please respect copyright.PENANAOm1jbJbR56
"Don't be ridiculous," he said. "You're practically going to pass out. Go sit down with Martyn and rest."846Please respect copyright.PENANAC7sziBoose
I followed Martyn to a small dull table and sat down. 846Please respect copyright.PENANAiNRsMqmtQf
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.846Please respect copyright.PENANAqMNOo2i9xj
"Aww... thanks, Weslyn. Though, I must admit, I've gotten that a lot."846Please respect copyright.PENANA6m03PyKCIZ
"You heard that?" I questioned with disbelief. "About your eyes?"846Please respect copyright.PENANAs2la791oZ8
"Of course I did," he grinned. "How are you finding Gray Valley?"846Please respect copyright.PENANAPKlYqzqx7w
"Can I ask you a question?" I asked. He shrugged in response and watched me expectantly. "What are the local legends?"846Please respect copyright.PENANA3u5KH6tdCE
"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."846Please respect copyright.PENANAQVS0r9VVTe
"Why Werewolves, though? The myths could as easily have been about any other supernatural creature. It could have been Vampires-"846Please respect copyright.PENANAtoZ1NtphqF
"Vampires don't exist, Weslyn," Martyn chuckled.846Please respect copyright.PENANALgoAWxJdpQ
"Obviously, they don't. But neither do Werewolves," I rolled my eyes.846Please respect copyright.PENANAJecupcRIT0
"Not according to every other citizen of Gray Valley."846Please respect copyright.PENANALmIUPSeYDb
"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?846Please respect copyright.PENANAGMQBF8qZpG
"Yeah, I do." His answer was so abrupt, I didn't know how to reply846Please respect copyright.PENANAp5yW755moy
"But-"846Please respect copyright.PENANAq5R75LHIoo
"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.846Please respect copyright.PENANAqk2684zm58
And then it occurred to me...846Please respect copyright.PENANAWQE2tQrk0x
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?846Please respect copyright.PENANAtl7g0c18xC
Was there a possibility that I was the beast I saw in my memories?
