I left the lunch room, stomped down the empty hallways of the school and out the door. Stupid fucking fucked up little world we live in and I knew better then to have hope. I knew I'd never have the same friends like I once had before things turned south. I always thought and maybe I shouldn't have ever thought about it, but I once thought me and Isaac would always be there for each other. He lied, he broke the promise I remember we made years ago, he broke it first.

Flashback

"Isaac, Isaac come out come out wherever you are" I giggled as I looked around the yard for him

When I'd finally found him, he was curled up with tears in his eyes and a bruise forming in his face. I rushed to him and knelt down beside him only for him to flinch away.

"What happened Isaac?" I asked worried

"I can't tell you, if I do I....i just can't he said

"Let's make a deal okay?" I asked

"Like what?" He asked

"Promise each other that we're forever friends, we have one another's back even when we fight, but whoever breaks the promise then we know something is seriously wrong" I said

"Deal, but if I tell you what happened you promise to never tell anyone especially Stiles dad" he said with pleading eyes

"Deal, I promise always and forever to be at your side" I said with a bright smile

"Always and forever at your side" he said

End of flashback

I let the anger fill me as I fell to the ground my wolf fighting to come out. I didn't want to ruin one of the only sets of clothes I had but I didn't really have a choice. I felt my bones breaking and rearranging themselves into a new form. I screamed in pain as I fought it but then I let it take hold. I felt myself slipping away from my human form and into the new form. My wolf form, I growled out in frustration and anger as I heard someone approaching. My head shot up in their direction and I got in a fighting stance. That was until I noticed it was a familiar face, Derek hale.

"Your different, not exactly a werewolf but not exactly human either" he said

"I'm a shapeshifting witch" I projected my thoughts

"You can project thoughts" he said shocked

"I can do a lot of things" I said

"Follow me to the house, there are hunters out here right now" he said

"Okay" I said

I did as told and followed after him taking a path towards the burnt down Hale house. Although it wasn't my home not my real one with my family. It still felt nice and peaceful or safe to be around or inside of. I can't explain what it was or why I felt that way towards the place but I do. I felt a close connection to the place, the place that was so familiar yet so unfamiliar at the same time. As we finally approached the house he waved for me to come inside. My wolf form could barely fit through the door that's how tall I was in wolf from. An average wolf is a little shorter than a six foot tall male. A dire wolf is without standing on its back legs, is slightly taller or the same height as a six foot tall male.

Of course there is more statistics and such behind all that and further details about it as well. Although that's not my intention or point to explain all that to you at the moment.

"I know it's not the same as when we were little but it's as clean as it's getting so" Derek said

"I don't ever remember being here as a kid" I said and lay on the floor curled up

"You and Cora met in the woods when you ere kids about four years old, you had wondered away from your house and my mom Talia and older sister Laura found you, Cora was with them that day and you two just clicked" he said

"Where is Cora now?" I asked

He looked down sadly but just shook his head giving me the answer I needed. Images flashed through his head and it was hard not to look at them. When someone's thoughts are so loud or they are projecting them even without knowing it's hard to not listen to. I watched a young looking girl playing with a younger version of me. I watched the two of us running around with a younger looking Derek chasing us. Then an older women watching over us she had black hair and pretty eyes.

"Who's that women?" I asked

"That's my mom Talia Hale" he said

"Did she happen to be able to turn into a wolf like Laura?" I asked

"It passed down from Talia to Laura, the alpha position can be passed down or taken" he said

"She's in the background of some photos at home" I said

"Yeah mom always made sure you didn't wonder too far after you met them in the woods, although she helped you home anytime necessary when you went looking for Cora but she was always in wolf form for some reason" he said

"To give comfort" I said

"Probably, that's how mom was with the younger ones even the humans" he said

Suddenly I felt myself shifting back to my human from, he had succeeded in distracting me to calm my wolf down.

"Do you have a shirt or something I can borrow?" I asked

He looked up and then averted his eyes and nodded while walking off. Although suddenly I heard a noise coming from outside causing me to rush and hide. The scent was familiar though, in fact it was way to familiar it was Scott of course it was.
