STORM To say I am distracted the whole time I am in class is an understatement. It’s been hours since I got away from, them but they are all I can think about. Being close to them like that did something in my mind and belly. I keep getting like flutters when I think about their proximity, and when Landon touched me… I could swear the whole world faded and I I couldn’t see or hear anything trapped in those grey eyes. When I came out of the haze, I could feel all of them watching us, which made me all the more anxious to get the hell away from them. I need to breathe and get my thoughts in order. Being with them, near them made all thoughts escape my mind and I didn’t want that to happen. I check my phone at the number he saved himself in it. It’s the first and only number on my phone. Just as I am looking at it, a text message flashes, and I open it. It’s Landon. He just texted me the party details, and I see it’s not that far away from my new house. And he adds a little winking

LANDON I am walking on thin ice. It’s no secret that she is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen and sexy as well. But there is something else, that’s right there but you just can’t see it yet. Like a mystery, you don’t want to know because you’re a goner once you do. Which makes all this reasonable. I still haven’t managed to make her let her guard down, but she will. Just a matter of time. There is just something about her that has all of us on edge, a certain unpredictability about her. Sure, her story checks but still, a niggling sense at the back of my mind tells me to keep my guard up with her. Her arrival into town and my parents’ death is all too much coincidental. I have experienced pain before, but my parents’ death, my two little sisters …I will not rest until I have the killer in my jaws, taste their fear when they see me coming for them. And then I will proceed to break all their bones, in excruciating pain; because I will find them, even if it kills me. And the

STORM “the only person who is going to regret this is you,”That is all I hear before I am thrust in front, and I lose my balance. I feel myself falling and I can't stop it. then my back hits cold water and I know she has pushed me into the pool.I close my eyes feeling the sting of water in my eye, water rushing through my nose and mouth.I don’t know how to swim to save my life, and it shouldn’t come as a surprise to me that I might be drowning in this pool right now the last thing I will feel is the way the alcohol in my veins is making me feel like my drowning is happening in slow motion.It is getting hard to breathe, and I am choking, but my arms and limbs are flaccid, and I can't move. A part of me lets go, and it's scary but again, freeing.Perhaps I will see my father again….And just as the thought crosses my mind, I feel hands grabbing me and pushing me up. I have no control so I just let myself be led up and once again, I feel a cool breeze on my face.Then I am coughing,

STORMIt's easy to put aside your feelings for someone when they are not right in front of you.Which is a thing I feel and understand more and more the further I pull away from the house. I was going to enjoy doing this and I would make it worth my while…That is all I could think. Blood rush through my ears and the hot emotion in my belly make me feel nauseated.I can't believe I fell into that with him. I am so stupid to think I was special or that I was somehow not as planned as I had hoped.Turns out it's true.All the good tinglings I had felt and the highness of it came down plummeting when I had finally worn my clothes and had gone downstairs to find Landon and tell him I was leaving.When I saw him going towards the poolhouse and they all got in, curiosity got the better of me and I snuck to hear what they were talking about.I had all needed to hear. It cut deep when I heard kyle shouting that I was a plan and that Landon was messing it all up. Kyle.I don’t know why I had t

STORMSometimes people don’t find justice. Sometimes, they have to take it.And I took it.That’s what makes it all so possible for me to walk through the school hallways and see some girls crying as well as the boys all looking like they're ready to snap anyone daring to come near them like a twig.I came to terms with my brain, the dark recess of my mind that is reserved for revenge. A part I never knew existed until I woke up one day and realized I was alive.Alive and alone all in this world.That’s when I knew I wouldn’t conduct and live my life as I had always thought I would. Back when my family was with me when I could spar with my dad, eat my mother's sweet food and listen to my grandmother's stories of the old folklore the old traditions of the werewolf communities.That day that I woke up hidden behind bushes, thorns all over my body and feeling like all parts of me are broken, and then I remembered what happened, life has never been the same again.I was never born this wa
