• My name is Alice, I have chin length hair that is colored a light brunette, green eyes and freckles all on my face. My skin is white as snow, I was one of the tallest people in my class till last year when everyone grew. I was a pretty normal high school kid un till that night when I meet Liam moss .I ran out of the house with the voices of my yelling parents behind me. With my book, blanket, and cell phone all stuffed in my messengers bag. I went into the woods. I walked until I was at a large clearing. I had been here many times before. I stopped; it was getting dark. I sat down and took out my book and read until it was too dark to read, then I took out my phone and blanket out of the bag. I wrapped myself in the blanket and looked at the time on my phone; it was nine twenty-eight. I dialed my friend Alex’s number. I waited for her to pick up the phone. The phone rang twice, then she answered, “Hello this is Alex.” I was relived that it was Alex and not her parents. “Hi, it’s me.” My voice sounded terrible. “Alice! Is that you? Are you okay you sound horrible! Where are you?” she sounded very worried. Alex was a very close friend, but she acted as though she was my mom. Alex was short, with a slim frame, with long hair she had dyed black with a few strand of her naturally brown hair showing through, her eyes were a very light hazel color. She was always on me about my grades, judging my boyfriends, all the things a mom would do. “Yea, I’m perfectly fine mother,” I said in a sarcastic voice. “I’m in the clearing, calm down, I was gonna stay out here tonight, and was wondering if you wanted to come out here” she didn’t hesitate to answer “Which clearing?” My voice was a lot happier now, “The one next to the stream,” I shivered. “Oh and please bring some heavy blankets, it freezing” There was a pause, “Okay, I’ll be there in a sec!” I could hear a smile in her voice. “I’m gonna call Katie to see if she wants to come.” She agreed and we said our goodbyes and hung up the phone.
    The next thing that I did was call Katie’s house. The phone rang several times, before Katie picked it up. “Hello this is Katie, who is this?” she asked in a very sophisticated voice. “It’s Alice, I wanted to know if you wanted to come to the clearing with me and Alex?” I waited for a short amount of time. “Okay, then what do you want me to say?” I paused and thought of a solution. “Hmmmm…what if you say that your coming to my house?” It was quite for a second, “Okay, I’ll try but stay on the line alright” I waited. Then Alex came up from the path. “I brought the blankets! What’s up?” I pressed my finger to my lips motioning for her to be quiet. “I’m talking to Katie” We waited in silence. Katie picked up the phone. “They said that it was cool, what do you want me to bring?” I paused and thought for a moment “Umm… pillows, water and food,” Alex cut me off ,“No food. Just water” Alex pulled out a assortment of snack food. “okay just water.” She sighed into the phone receiver “Alright I got it” she hung up. Katie was another friend of mine who was the average height of an average high school student. Katie had shoulder length dark blond hair her eyes were blue green and everyone flirted with her even if she didn’t notice it.
    Alex and I sat in the clearing until a loud growl came from my stomach. We both burst out laughing, she tossed me a bag of chips and beef jerky. I put the jerky in my pocket and started to eat the chips I munched in silence, then Katie walked up from the path and almost tripped. She came over and dropped the pillows and her bag next to Alex. Katie had an angry look on her face. “What’s wrong with you?” She asked. “Do you know how many times I tripped back there?” Alex and I stared at her for a moment “I’m guessing a lot” I said Alex laughed. “So what are you doing?” Katie asked. “Just looking at the stars.” I replied no one said anything after that.
    We all wrapped up in our blankets and put the pillows under our heads and stared at the sky. The last thing that I remembered was a wolfs howl piercing the night air , then I drifted to sleep. I woke up the next morning with Katie and Alex still asleep, so I decided to walk down to the stream. I stumbled the entire way down to the water. When I finally got there I sat down. Then I heard a whimpering noise. I turned my head and saw a wolf with dark red fur. I was I little scared when I first saw him. Then I saw that the wolfs leg was hurt. I didn’t want to approach him because I was afraid it would bite me. I was very shocked when I saw it was coming to me. I petted his head. He wagged his tail a little. At first I thought that he was someone’s pet. “Hello my name is Alice, please don’t leave from this spot.” I turned and ran as fast as I could back to where my things were . Katie and Alex were still asleep “laziest people ever,” I thought. I picked up my blanket and shredded it into strips. Then I ran over to a tree and looked for the straightest branch I could find and snapped it off the tree it was on. I ran back.
    The wolf hadn’t moved. “Hi again.” trying to keep eye contact with his vivid, indigo, colored eyes “Wow, your eyes are beautiful” I said. He seemed to smile. I thought I was going crazy. I took the stick and broke it in half. “Okay this might hurt, but don’t bite me” I took the injured leg in my hands I felt his leg and them found where it had broke. “Oh great, you have a clean break, so that means it’ll be twice the fun to fix it now.” I held his leg in my hands, I took a deep breath, and got all the courage I could. The next thing that happened was two yelps one from the wolf and another from me. Mine was from the noise the bone made; when it went back into place, and his was from the pain. Quickly I took the limbs and held his (now fixed leg between them) and tied it in place with the blanket shreds.
    “Sorry, I had to do that.” I reached into my pocket and took out the beef jerky from the night before and ripped it in half. I gave half of the jerky to the wolf, and I just held the other piece in my hand, staring down at it. “So… where did you come from?” I asked him, looking down at the other half of jerky in my hands. “Wow, I’m absolutely insane. You can’t even talk and I’m asking you questions.” I paused “If it matters, I don’t think your crazy.” He spoke with such an elegant voice. I looked up in shock to see that the wolf ;that was lying beside, me was now a boy, laying on his stomach with short, dark, red hair and vivid, indigo eyes. He wasn’t wearing a shirt, he had on blue jeans, he was bare foot, and was wearing my splint on his right arm. These were the last things I saw. Then I became dizzy and fainted.
    I regained consciousness when he splashed cold water -from the stream- on me. “What’s going on!” I demanded. “Let me explain, my name is Liam, my foot was caught in a bear trap, it broke, you fixed it, you fed me, and oh, thanks for the complement on my eyes” he winked. I was puzzled.” Ummm…how where you a wolf?” I asked, waiting for a reply. “Oh, I am a werewolf, but not how you may be thinking. we turn into wolves when we want or when our emotions get to us. And we don’t eat people.” I was lost. “ Okay, give me a minute,” I said, I walked over to a tree and hit my head against it while chanting “Wake up Alice, you’ve fell too far down the rabbit hole,” he grabbed my shoulder “Stop that!” He demanded. “It’s not a dream and you haven’t gone insane.” I looked at him, “How did you get, all, well?” He looked at me, his hands balled into fists and he was shaking, “My dad finally made me snap! I ran off and I wandered into that bear trap. After that I was so mad at myself I couldn’t calm down.” He stopped shaking and looked at me, “Then I ran into you, I don’t know why, but you calmed me, You didn’t run, you stayed and helped me in that condition. Thank you.” He smiled and hugged me. “Liam … Can’t breathe.” I said tapping his back. He released me and blushed, “Yea, sorry about that.” I gasped for air, “It’s okay, I guess we’re friends now?” His smile grew bigger, “ I guess so,” he said with a great confidence in his voice “What do you want to do?” He asked.
    All of a sudden I remembered that Alex and Katie were still asleep. “ My friends, what if they are looking for me?! How long have I been gone!?” Liam looked at me then reached in his pocket and took out a phone. “You haven’t been out more than thirty minutes.” I looked at his face and smiled, he smiled back, “I would have never thought that werewolves actually existed.” Liam’s face grew cold, “Wait till you hear about the rest of us creatures” I paused gathering my thoughts “there’s more of you?” now I knew I was insane
