I stood outside the building for a while. I really wanted to see her, so badly. I climbed inside from the window. She was sitting on chair near her desk, writing to Roselyn, her dead sister, again I was sure. Then she raised her head to look at me. She smiled.

«You know you can’t enter in, that way. What if someone sees us?», she complained laughing. I knew she liked it, even though she was complaining.

«Then, we’ll say… That we don’t really care about their stupid rules», I replied hugging her and leading her to her bed.

«What do I do with you?», she asked sarcastically. I laughed softly.

«Come on… Let’s get a little crazy, it’s boring in here» I told her and I brought her in the top of me.

«Not tonight. I'm pretty tired from school and stuff», she answered. I smiled. I didn’t leave the bed.

«Well, are you going to stay for the rest of the night?», she asked.

«Only if you want me to», I said while chuckling.

«I do», she smiled and hided her face in my chest.

«Good», I replied. She laughed. I smiled back to her. I was happy. I really felt like the happiest person in the world. I didn’t want anyone or anything to ruin this night, even though it wouldn't be the crazy night I had imagined in the beginning.

After a while she fall off me and turned her back to me, so then I realized that she was asleep. I stood up from the bed and headed her desk. I read the letter.

Dear Roselyn,

                 Things are getting better. The kids in this school aren’t making any fun of me, because I’m an orphan. David was right, after all, huh? You should have been here to see his full of happiness eyes when I sat next to him and behind Levine in English class.

                  Also, do you remember Laura? The girl I told you was making me feel better after your death, but then she committed suicide? Well, I think I saw her opposite the school in the woods standing and staring at me. Probably it was just another illusion.

                    You have no idea how much it hurts, or how much I miss you. Well, I do. I hope you’re good up there. You can see how it is going in here. I really miss you. Well, I guess you already knew that. Tell dad I said hi...

                                                                                                                        Xxx,

                                                                                                                      Emma

                    
I was a little confused about it. I thought Emma, had told me everything about her. But I didn’t remember her telling me anything about any Laura. It was confusing. I’d ask her about it in the morning.

I couldn’t fall asleep tonight. I took one of her books to read, I was pretty much bored. I took one called the Maze Runner. I loved these series. I had seen it in movies with Emma and Levine multiple times it was one of our favourite movies. Emma was the one always crying for Newt’s death. I was the one who always made her feeling better after that, and Levine was the one always who made her laugh after the movie.

I started reading the book. When she woke up, I was already done. I took the letter in my hands and read it again. I heard her steps next to me.  She hugged me.

«Good morning», she said kissing me. I kissed her back.

«Morning», I answered. She smiled, with that angelic smile of hers. But I wouldn't fall for it this time. I looked at her on a really serious and worried way.

«What?», she asked worried. I could sense that she knew she had done something, but she didn't know what that something was.

«Who’s Laura?», I asked her. The smile disappeared from her face faster than I thought it could. Just by looking at her face I knew that she didn’t want to talk about it, but still I was feeling like I should of known that.

«You read the letter, didn’t you?», she asked me back with a straightforward way. I nodded.

«Actually, Laura is a person I never talk about...», she began saying while walking towards her bed.

«But you wrote about her in your letter…», I replied. She closed her eyes, she really didn't want to talk about it.

«Roselyn would understand why I did. But I… I can’t avoid it anymore», she replied. «Well, Laura was actually my best friend after Roselyn’s death. She was the only one who made me feel a little better and less suicidal. She knew me better than I knew myself», she smirked again in the remembrance of those, happy for her I guess, memories. «But…», as soon as she said that “but” the smirk ended. This killed me inside.

«But...», she repeated, I noticed that she was trembling now, seh couldn't say it out loud, and so I decided to not let her.

«She committed suicide. I read it», I reminded her. She smiled at me again as if I was the most valuable person in the whole world, and the tremble stopped.

«Yeah, she died a month after the murder of my father and Roselyn. I was alone since then. And two years after that, when I was ready to do the same you showed up», she said laughing but also crying in same time. I smiled then too. Tears fell from her eyes, and I wiped them with my hands while they were on their way to her cheeks.

«And I changed everything I know the rest of the story», I replied. She smiled again and the tears stopped falling.

«You got to go now. It’s breakfast time. They’re going to punish us both if they find you in here», she said. She was right... Ugh! Stupid, orphanage's rules...

«Going. See you at school», I smiled tenderly. I jumped out of the window and took a look back, to have an eye contact with her, she closed the window and she was looking at me from inside her room. She suddenly turned around, and I guessed that someone had entered her room. Then I saw her talking, so there was definitely someone in the room.

I ran into the woods, so that I wouldn't get caught up, and be in trouble again. I noticed that this once I was running faster than I thought I could. This confused me a little, but I didn't give any matter to it...

These days strange things had been happening. Like yesterday, I couldn't even taste the food I was eating. And no, I was pretty sure that it wasn't depression or something like that... How could I have depression anyway? I was in the happiest mood I could have ever been! Or it could of been an illness. But I don't think so, because I didn't feel sick.

As I was running I spotted a huge rock in front of me. I climbed at it, jumped off the other side and I landed on the grass. I thought I saw a red light through the bushes in front of me. It looked like a pair of two, super strange red eyes... We had an eye contact for a moment, with whatever the hell was that thing on the other side of the bushes. Their seemed so mysterious, as if they had told me something and I was supposed to keep it a secret.

I ignored it and ran home.

I climbed through my window, so that nobody would suspect that I was missing this whole time. I took my bag and went downstairs. Even though I had entered through the window, I knew that I fucked up...  because Ailina was already waiting for me next to the door.

«Did you go at Emma’s tonight?», she asked once she saw me coming out of my room. She had checked on me of course! I nodded.

«How was it?», Mr. Barton asked showing up from upstairs. I felt really embarrassed. Did I really have to report this?

«It was awesome...», I replied slowly. Ailina looked on the clock and acted as if she understood what I meant. She didn't really... I would use the school as an excuse to leave this conversation.

«He’s right. More details later. He has to go to school», she explained, I nodded again. Thank God! I was sure that they would forget about this right a way. I ran downstairs.

«Goodbye», I said as I closed the faded door behind me. I took my bike and rode it to school.

I could feel the morning air, even hear it, which relaxed me by the way...

This ride was so relaxing everytime. I was alone, and I didn't have to care about... well, anything!

I arrived at school in about 10 to 15 minutes. I met Levine and Emma, sitting as always, sitting at our table. I walked towards them, to go and meet them.

«Hey! Remembered our existence?», Levine asked on his usual sarcastic tone.

«Sorry, I had to go somewhere, so I didn't actually sleep», I apologised. He raised his eyebrows. Emma laughed. Levine looked at her and then back to me.

«Yeah I think it’s pretty obvious where you were», he said. And of course Levine knew! Why wouldn't he anyway?

«Got to go to class?», I asked  him. Levine looked in his small, black and trendy clock and then raised his head again.

«Yeah», he said. Then he stood up and touched my shoulders with both of his hands, which made me feel like he was going to kill me or something.
                               
«See you later», I said to Emma and she smiled waving back to us.

That hurt. Like a lot. I felt like she was saying goodbye. And I of course don't mean a temporary goodbye... I mean a permanent one. And I didn't want to say it back...

«So...», Levine laughed at me in his sussy tone, getting my attention from whatever the hell I was thinking.

«Am I in trouble?», I asked Levine.

«In a huge one», he said. I get it. Please don’t please…

«What are you going to do now? Punish me?», I questioned sarcastically, while laughing.

«Oh, my friend now you’re going to tell me everything!», he replied as we entered in the class.

I told him about everything about what happened yesterday, except from the red sign. Why should I tell him about that anyway? It wasn't even important... It was just a strange pair of red eyes... It wasn't something, it could also be an illusion so, I thought it was not important to share it with him... And so I didn't.

The rest of the day was just a normal day. Similar, just like all the others.  Levine and I were walking towards our lockers.

Levine was my best friend. We were together since when I still can remember myself. He was a pretty good student, much better than me anyway, even if I was also good he was a way smarter than me.

He was also my almost roommate. If that counts we’re always together till the nightfall. We're pretty close to each other, like... Like brothers...

We headed our lockers and took everything we needed, whatever the hell that was...

I was actually thinking about yesterday. I couldn't get it out of my head... Why would Emma hide that thing about her friend Laura from me? Was it something important or she just didn’t wanna talk about it? I thought she trusted me more than everyone...

And while I was thinking of that I saw the red light again. But this time it was a lot different. It felt awfully painful... So painful, that I thought I was straight up losing my mind. I started hearing heartbeats and steps, all the conversations that where taking place all around me. I closed my eyes in pain and bent over. Then, I could smell things that I really shouldn’t be able smell, but I didn’t open my eyes.

I felt like I had this great desire, to kill... I could even picture anything around me, covered in blood. I wanted to run away now, so that I wouldn't hurt anyone, but something pulled me out of all those thoughts. A voice...

«David?», I heard Levine's voice calling me. I looked up at him and even the slightest part of this feeling disappeared.

«What is it Levine?», I asked him kinda angrily once I came back to normal. He glared at me.

«I thought we were going to the restaurant, didn’t we?», he asked me and he pointed with his finger to where I was heading. I wasn't paying any attention to where exactly I was going during this... Feeling or whatever the hell that was, but I was heading to the bathroom for a reason I didn’t even know.

Levine looked at me terrified. Was I losing my mind? Probably, but I didn't even want to know what would happen if that were true...

We headed the cafeteria and Levine didn’t even say a word. Not a single comment. This was really strange since it's Levine who we're talking about. He always has something to say. He hates to remain silent. Though there was also this other chance that he hadn't noticed anything. Which was not really possible but... It had chances to be...

Maybe all this just happened in my head, and not in real...

«What the hell is wrong with you today, dude?», he asked me once we sat on our usual seats, with our food placed on the table, where we were always waiting for Emma. Come on, seriously? I thought he didn't notice anything... And now I had to explain it to him and... Fuck...

«Nothing, should something be wrong with me?», I asked turned the question to him, but even I could say that I sounded A BIT nervous... Just a bit...

Levine glared at me with a grimace. It was the look that said “It’s so obvious!”.

«Ok, I don’t even have the barest idea what is going on with me. It’s like so confusing. I can’t get it», I tried to explain. He was nodding while I was talking, which showed me that he was paying attention.

«Why don’t you go to Mr. Barton’s like right now? He’ll understand that you're not feeling good and maybe he's the only one able to help you. I'd tell you to go to the school's nurse but first she's not as capable as she should and second I don't think she can help you in anyway», he suggested. He was right. I should probably pay a visit to my adopted father's clinic and ask him for an advice...

«Yeah that’s exactly what I'm gonna do», I replied nodding. He smiled at me in his kind of innocent smile. I knew he didn’t do anything, but definitely something was going on.

And he knew...

Emma showed up then she took her seat next to me. I stood up, I got ready to leave and I saw that puzzled look on Emma's face.

«Sorry guys, I have to go... I'll explain everything later», I promised, mostly to Emma, because to Levine I had explained everything the best way I could right now. Ok, not the best way I could but still.

I wish I could stay there, sitting next to her, but I had to figure out what the hell was going on with me...

I ran out of the cafeteria as fast as I could.

«What is wrong with that guy?», I still could hear Emma’s voice, even though I was far from this room, and through all the other people's voices her voice was recognisable.

«Would you believe me if I told you that I have no idea?», Levine asked. Emma laughed.

«No, not really», she replied, still laughing. After that I couldn't hear anything since I got out of school and I run to Mr. Barton’s clinic.

It wasn't really cold outside. I was just feeling a little too weird. Like there was somebody out there with me, running by my side. But when I looked next to me there was nobody...

Maybe it's just a feeling, I thought.

And then I noticed that, I was running faster than I could again. I didn't know if I should be proud of myself or totally terrified. I considered that be that I just got faster, but I didn't think I could get that fast so sudden without even practicing, that was not possible.

Was it?

After 5 minutes I reached the clinic. It was a small building outside the woods, it was right between the woods and the town, covered in white colour. It was quite modern I should say, but the place Mr. Barton had chosen to build it was totally the wrongest place he could have ever chosen. Even if he had chose to build it on the moon, would be a less terrible idea...

I entered in the rather small building as fast as a whirlwind. Then I was standing in the reception, where there was nobody and at the other side of the room, there was a door which was obviously leading at Mr. Barton's office.

I knew there wasn’t anyone in apart from him, and I don’t even know how the hell I knew that, so I entered in.

«David? Aren’t you supposed to be at school right now?», he asked me suspicious and confused in the dame time, but he sounded more worried than he should be or more than Levine had told me.

«Yeah, but I need to talk to you», I announced him. He looked at me with a puzzled look, or actually more of trying to be optimistic...

«About what?», he asked. His voice was trembling. Fear? Agony? Stress? All of them together? I couldn't say. But I was sure that there was something wrong. Something was going to happen.

I closed my eyes. I opened them again after a few seconds. Mr. Barton kept looking at me the whole time. 

«Lately, I've been feeling strange», I started. He looked like he lost his hope. I didn’t know why, but this was freaking me out a little.

«How do you mean strange?», he asked. Should I really answer that?

«I feel like… Ok, I feel weird.  It’s like last night when I went to Emma’s I… », I tried to tell him about the red light that I saw but, I was too anxious.

«You can tell me anything you want don’t be nervous. Literally anything», he said wanting to make me feel comfortable to tell him. It actually worked.

«I can see, hear and smell things that are actually impossible to. I also feel like I have to kill someone, it happened today at school… And also yesterday as I was leaving Emma’s house I realized that I was running faster than ever and I saw… something red. Bright red could be eyes», I explained. He goggled and I could see fear and agony through his eyes.

«What? I’m driving crazy right?», I asked him.

«No, no, no, no, no! Not you, not you. It can’t be», I was confused. I couldn’t be Insane or he had something else in mind? Probably the second one, I thought, but I was worried. He stood up and closed the doors and the windows carefully. It was getting more confusing.

«What do you mean not me? What is that supposed to mean?», if before that I was confused now I was terrified.

«You need the truth…», he said.

«What truth? I don’t understand», I replied, wishing it wasn’t something so bad.

«Well, do you remember when I told you that we adopted you from an orphanage and you told me that you don’t remember a thing about it? I told you that you were too young to remember? Well, you didn’t because that was not the complete truth… Uh…  It’s hard to say… You're not who you think you’re», it didn’t make any sense.

«What are you trying to say?», I asked.

«First of all, you didn’t remember anything because it didn’t happen. The orphanage was a pretense. It never actually happened. That’s why you don’t remember anything», Mr. Barton told me. I was so confused.

«You… remember when you pretended that you were sick and I never believed you? That was because you could never get sick. All these are because you're not a human being. Not who you think you were», he told me.                         

«What am I then?», I asked wanting all this to be a huge lie.

«Isn’t it obvious? Think about it! I didn’t let you go out once a month. What night was that?», he turned the question to me. He never let me out in the… huh!

«The full moon night», I said in shock. I was the one goggling now. I couldn’t accept that. Not that. Why me? I had a nice happy life with Mr. Barton, Ailina, Levine and Emma. Why now?

«So, what are you?», he shouted.

«A werewolf», I replied whispering. A tear ran from my eye. I didn’t want this.

«And haven’t you tell me?», I asked angrily.

«I couldn’t! Everything would mess up again! The treaty, the presbyter she’d kill you, for your alpha powers! I’d mess up everything!», he shouted. I turned back to face him.

«Yeah, because NOTHING NOW IS MESSED UP!», I shouted back at him full of anger. He looked surprised.

«YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT HAPPENED!», he said.

«I GUESS I WOULD IF YOU HAD TOLD ME BEFORE!», I shouted louder. I felt the same way I was feeling in school. Ready to kill. I turned my back to him to face the Wall. I didn’t wanna do anything that I’d regret about in the future.                                          

«Calm down», Mr. Barton ordered me.

«And why should I listen to you?», I asked him. I don’t feel like I’d trust him ever again.

«Because you don’t wanna hurt Levine or Emma or anyone else», this was actually true. I didn’t wanna hurt anyone. «And you're gonna need me if you wanna learn how to control it», he completed. I closed my eyes and caress my head. I ran out of Mr. Barton’s clinic. I was so scared. Of myself, the future and just everything…

I ran home. It was the only place I could go, my room the only place that I felt welcomed. I went inside, not from the door but my window. I wasn’t good. I sat down next to the door for the rest of the day and night. I didn’t wanna talk to anyone.

The next morning I opened my phone. I needed to talk to Levine. Emma didn’t know anything so she didn’t have to be in the whole thing. Levine knew everything. And also I would need some help. Levine would be the perfect person to help me handle this.

I saw 30 missed calls. 20 were from Levine and 10 from Emma. Some of them had a voice message left. I started listening to them.

The first one was from Levine. «Hey body! You ok? Did you figure out what is going on? Ok, when you'll hear this call me alright? Bye».

The next five were also from Levine. «Hey dude. You haven’t answered to me yet, and I am a little worried. So, yeah call me».

«Ok, now, I don’t know if I'm starting to be annoying or you, but could you make the effort to pick it up?».

«Hey I and Emma are too worried. I don’t think it'd be hard to press the green bottom just to PICK IT UP! CALL FINALLY!», he said angrily.

«Hey, guess who’s it again? ME! LEVINE LEINS IF YOU FORGOT! Emma says she’s calling you too. WHY THE HELL DON’T YOU PICK IT UP? CALL! GOODBYE».

«HEY, ARE YOU STILL ALIVE? IF YOU'RE THEN I THINK IT WOULDN’T BE HARD FOR YOU TO ANSWER YOUR PHONE! IT’S SO EASY WANT ME TO REMIND YOU HOW TO PICK UP YOUR PHONE? YES? PRESS THE GREEN BOTTOM ON YOUR LEFT HAND! NO? THEN JUST PICK IT UP!», he shouted.

I started listening to Emma’s. They were just 3. «Hey, love where are you? Levine told me he can’t find you anywhere. We searched at Mr. Barton’s but he told us you left. Are you home? Are you ok? Call someone whenever you can ok? Bye», her angelic voice said and I could hear some tears run from her face.

«Hey honey, it’s me again. Please turn your phone on. I need to hear your voice. I'm pretty much convinced that something bad is happening. Please call», she said.

«Hey, sweetheart, it’s me again. Is there something going on because we’re searching you for about a day and you don’t seem to be alive. Could you please at least text us that you're ok? Even if you wanna stay alone, you can say it. Goodbye. Call», she said. I called Levine.

«HELLO?», he shouted worried. I was in trouble.

 «Hey, Levine», I replied.

 «David! Thank god! You remembered us?», he asked sarcastic.

 «I'm gonna have to talk to you.  Immediately. Do you have any time?», I asked him

«For you Bro as much as you want, but you really should call Emma. She’s so worried even more than I was. She’s starting freaking out a little… Or a lot», he commented.

«Why?», I asked.

«Dude are you kidding me? You disappeared for about 26 hours! We were all driving insane!», he said.

«And didn’t you think about searching me at my house?», I asked sarcastic.

«We called! Twice! Nobody answered the first. The second Ailina did, but she told us she didn’t saw you entering to the house. So…», he explained.

«Yeah, but couldn’t you come and check it up?», I asked again. He didn’t answer for a while.

«We… We didn’t think of that…», he said. «Ok, I’ll give the phone to Emma she wants to talk to you so badly…».

«Give me the phone!», I heard Emma’s voice.

«Wait a sec, I'm talking… Yeah, talk to her», he gave her the phone.

«Babe?», she asked. I closed my eyes so hard to open them.

«Hey Emma. I heard your voice messages. I'm fine», I answered. She was crying, I could hear this to her voice and also I could hear her tears running from her eyes.

«Why didn’t you pick up? And where the hell have you been anyway?», she asked impatiently.

«Babe! I'm fine. I'm home and I didn’t pick up, because my phone went off. I was out. Alone. don’t worry I won’t do this again», I apologized.

«Never! You promise?», she sounded better.

«Never! I don’t promise, I swear», I'm probably not gonna figure out again that my whole life was a lie and I am a supernatural creature. These things happen once in the life. Probably…

«Ok can you give the phone to Levine please? I need to talk to him», I said politely.

«Of course», she said and gave the phone back to Lev.

«Dude?», he asked.

«Hey, I need to talk to you. Just you. How much time will it take to you to come over my house?», I pled him.

«Minutes, five or less I guess. I am on my way, don’t worry I'm coming», he promised.

«Thanks», I said and I hanged up. It was true. It took him five minutes to come to my house. He arrived and when Ailina opened the door to him he ran upstairs not even saying a typical “hi”.

He knocked the door. I unlocked the door to let him in.

«Hey bro, everything ok?», he asked as I cried.

«The opposite. Everything sucks since yesterday. Do you remember that I told you I wasn’t feeling ok?», I reminded him.

«David calm down and explain to me», he ordered me. I did it.

«Well, when you asked me about what happened to Emma’s I didn’t tell you absolutely everything… After I left the house I saw a red light that looked like a pair of two bright red eyes. And also yesterday Mr. Barton revealed me something terrible. I kinda wish I was dead», I crumbled.

«What is it?», he asked impatiently. I didn’t response. «What is it? Don’t worry, you know I won’t judge. I'm not that kind of person», he insisted.

«And I… I'm…», I took a deep breathe. I let my eyes shine and my fangs got out.

«I’m a werewolf», I replied. We stayed quiet for a little.
