me. Humans and my kinds can't mix. She put her headphones back on and for some unknown reason I reached over and pulled the cord and they fell back out. 'You know who I am right?' I wanted her to know, I didn't date and I most certainly didn't talk to humans for more than a sentence. 'Yes you hunter, Not God. Me Max.' She raised her eyebrow at me; beautifully rounded and framed her dazzling eyes. 

 

 'Ha your funny' I said in a dry tone. A monotone free of emotion and feeling. I breathed in deeply and felt her pain, something was missing . Maybe something was taken from her. 'Yhea everyone knows everything I get it.' The pain was deeper, underlying her fear.'You know if you went away I wouldn't mind.' She too was able to hide her feelings. She grinned at a broken and sad attempt at a smile. She stared into my eyes deep and unyielding but not like she saw me, a faint smile broke her lips. I wondered what she thought so happily about. She let out a sigh of breath, her whole body seemed to relax. And then the bell rang and ruined her whole relaxed demeanour. She went to leave and enter the class room; even if I couldn't have the last word I opened the door and watched her stiffen slightly but walked in regardless. 

 

She quickly entered the room and sat at the back, damn it how will I ever.... not going to finish that sentence I just quick stepped and sat at the back next to the window facing the woods. I glanced over to Max and saw she was scribbling quickly across a page of paper. A couple of minuets later she looked up relieved and happy. I just had to see what she had written. I quickly moved and grabbed the paper off of her desk and began to read...

 

I will always stand thus belong. Wow she was surprisingly good. I looked down and stared down at the poem that was so obviously from a broken point of view. Screaming silently, with these words at those that have done her wrong. Telling them how she wouldn't normally say something so... it was to late for an apology. She'd so obviously been the child left to cry, it was evident in the stone that became her face. But she was right she did belong into this plain human world. Her writing held such meaning and told such a story, it was weird I'd never had a spare moment being surrounded by my overgrown family. I looked up and saw her pouting I grinned and raised an eye brow in response. Her breathing spread up and she said something to quiet, that and I was distracted by her cute pout.

 

The paper suddenly flew from my slack grip. I looked over to where Max was sitting only to find the page fall into her hand with no prompt at all. Almost as if she had asked it to. She blushed and looked away giggling. What was she ? I looked down at my hands in confusion, next time I looked up her eyes followed the movement of something outside. It took me a few minuets to realise that the rapper she was looking at some how defied gravity and the wind but most of all logic.

 

I looked at this simple human girl amazed. She's was grinning until she noticed me staring, she closed her eyes as if in pain. The room suddenly became electrified by her energy. She kept glancing at me expectantly, expecting me to scream she's a freak or something, instead I took the laid back approach. I leaned all the way back in my seat stretching and tensing my muscles, even I had to admit it was a cheat move but I caught her looking. I chuckled watching her face turn the oh so bright colour of scarlet as she once again turned to the front. As soon as the bell rang she ran no sprinted from the room.

 

I sighed, forty five minuets. I rolled my eyes and left to find my second. Chase, he was more like a brother than my best-friend. I'd known him since I was seven, he and his mother had moved from their last pack... not that either of them would ever tell me what the reason was or probably ever would both were suborn like that. Of course he was outside kicking around a ball with the rest of the pack that was my age, one day it would be my pack, not just something I took over in a time of need but something I have made. Chase was smaller than me with dark hair in many ways he was my opposite I was much stronger but god dammit he was much faster than me. The game continued to play, well at least until the rain began I was glad at least the path was no longer icy. 

Rain, rain go away. I don't want to be cold today....

 

Chapter 6

 

I slowly came more and more into consciousness as one after another drops of something fell onto the exposed side of my face. I dug my face deeper in my arm wanting so bad to just stay asleep. The more I seemed to ignore the problem the more it challenged me to move. Eventually I stood in the dark forest, clouds covered the sun and rain blocked the few rays that had managed to seep through the fluffy cloud barrier. My heart steady beat as I stretched, my phone interrupting me as the annoying alarm told me it was time to run back. 

 

Replenished as I was, I was still weary of a dark forest. I had ten minuets to run, it only took me five to get here but I was blindly running then. Every voice in my head screamed for me to run, forests could be dangerous cautiously I jogged, rain drenched me but I slowly made my way across the broken twigs and larger wood, rock or mud created hurdles. 

 

As I came into view off school I put an extra burst of speed nearly face-planting the opening door. I stopped and for the third time that day I was going to fall on my ass yet again, well until two arms shot out and caught me mid fall. I stared into light green eyes, eyes made of pure laughter and happiness. Immediately I liked him 'Hello Maxine' he told me, his smile was genuine not sarcastic nor fake. I took a step back, out of his embrace and into the cold airs. His dark blue shirt and jeans were well warn and snug. He wore his black boots half way done up and a old beaten up brown leather jacket. I shivered involuntary and he swept me into the slightly warmer hallway. 'Chase I wouldn't get too close this chick; she knocks into chicks and rubs her ass in public.' came a cheery voice I gasped and shot an annoyed look at Ann.

 

'Hey you walked into me and I so do not! Remember it was me catching you... ' At her look I sighed and admitted 'okay, okay it was me rubbing but I swear it was my back not my arse.' I pleaded looking between Chases green eyes and Ann's laughing ones. 'Anna-bell you can be awfully cruel. Don't listen to her Max, we all know she secretly scratches hers too, plus i don't mind any chick that rubs against another' Humour lit his kind face. 'Thank... hey ! I told you I don't and eww no! Im completely straight, sorry Ann i know its a shame.' I nudged him cruelly and winked at Ann 'what's with all the water?' he asked ignoring my little shove pretending to be not affected. ' I have Ablutophobia' I told him coyly.

 

Anna-bell snickered but chase looked confused. I cocked my finger and made the come here action. 'It means I don't bathe wash or clean anything. I use the rain to wash me' I told him sarcastically he looked stunned and I laughed to myself as I walked away. ' Your nuttier than squril poop max' Ann mock shouted after me.

 

Luckily for me I had gym next! I grabbed my bag from my locker and headed to the big room opposite that appeared to be the dining hall. It was an encove with three doors, one reading boys, another reading girls that lead up the stairs and the third reading gym. Time to get my funk on I thought and grinned to myself.

 

Mixed class, lead to mixed feelings...

 

 

Chapter 7

 

I quickly changed from my soaked clothes, leaving my already wet ones dry on the radiator. In my bag was an old top that i had always worn when running. It was white with 'Mondays Suck' i loved wearing it on every day but Mondays so today was brilliant. I don't know what weird school starts on a Thursday but i couldn't be bothered to ask. I also grabbed the tight black bottoms i had thrown in the bag also, they came up to mid calf because i pushed them up. I loved these because they showed off my well defined calf muscles from all the running i have always done. I put back on the high topped trainers i had been wearing before. They were only slightly damp but with the holes that riddled them i was surprised - and i really need new trainers. They were grey and pink and fluffy inside i loved them. When students off all sizes, genders, hight and colour gathered around a bouncy woman wearing shorts that i'd blush when even think of wearing them. Shoulder length blond hair and a shirt that said 'Berry' across the front.

 

'HELLO, you lazy bunch! Laps and then well begin, grab your headphones and begin with no moans and i may even finish with a game of basket ball.' She wasn't much older than us probably around twenty - twenty three or something but she was bubbly and full of energy i instantly thought she was epic.

 

Students pulled faces but grabbed iPhones, iPods, smart phones etc. I grabbed my iPod happily and searched for my running play list. As She got out and a clip board we all lined up and prepared to run, stretching out muscles and taking sips of water we placed in the middle of the room. I put my head phones in and pressed play Immediately after she counted down.
