The Hidden Hybrid

What now?

I'm frozen, I can't move, I can't breathe.

They really know I'm here, but they don't know it's me. That's why they are threating everyone to see if they can draw out the hybrid, but it's not going to work. I look up and see Tyler looking at me with worry, I give him a small smile. 

"well, I think we should all leave and let someone clear this up, how about we have a BBQ?" Ezra said as he walks to the door to the garden, we all nod. Delila links her arm in mine as we walk, she leads me over to the pool chairs slightly away from everyone else.

"spatium inaudita" she mumbles under her breath.

"space unheard" I raise my eyebrows at her, she chuckles and nods "yep don't want the wolfs hearing”.

"you make it sound like wolf hearing is bad” I joke.

“well only if it’s working against you” we both laugh “are you okay?” she asks. I nod my head “yer I’m fine, it just shows they have no idea who I am, that’s why they are threating everyone, it’s the oldest trick in the book” she gives me a confused look “sending a pigs heart is the oldest trick in the book?” she questions “what? No.” she sighs in relief “it’s normally someone they grab from the village” her face goes blank; she takes a moment then questions “why do you say that so casually?” I think for a moment “well normally it’s a declaration of war, you kill someone and send them the head or the heart. Its quite an old method by it dose the trick” she still has a blank look but fear in her eyes “has that ever happened at your pack?”

“No, we are the ones that do it”.

“WHAT!”

“My pack is cruel yes but never without cause, we attack others while saving those how are oppressed, every time my father has declared war it’s for a valid reason just most didn’t agree”.

“crap, that’s still crazy that you talk about it like its normal”.

“oh, it is”.

“I’m glad you’re my friend”.  We both laugh.

The first day comes around quick after the pig indent the wolfs don’t really try to talk to us not that we mind. Me and Delila go to our first class “wolfs and witches a brief history” early so we can choose our seats and avoid the awkward walking in with a bunch of wolfs looking at us. We are the first ones there and take seats at the back. After a few minutes we hear.

“Ahh, I see someone had the same idea as us” we turn to see Malek and Peter walking up to us. “yeppp” Delila responds and we all laugh. The boy sits in the seat in front of us so we can all talk.

“Now I for one and quite annoyed at the name of this class” Malek starts and I roll my eyes “No one cares, like how out magic rooms called the witches den” me and Delila laugh “okay we didn’t agree to that” peter states “but if you look at it there’s 3 witches and only two warlocks so its kinda a witches den” Delila counters “but it’s not like the other witch is here, come on she’s with the wolfs” says Malek. I raise my eyebrows “well that probably because she’s used to being around wolfs instead of witches”

“what do you mean” asks peter.

“she’s been brought up in a pack, of course she’s going to be more comfortable around them then us” Delila answers.

“I didn’t know that doesn’t she have a coven?” asks Malek.

“No. There’s one close but her family isn’t a part of it” I reply. Both the boys look confused. Delila explains “the local coven is where I’m from, I used to go here before the split, but the coven members tend to keep to themselves. Our coven is complicated, it has a small pack that lives with us and it’s a good blend, but for some reason this pack hasn’t always been that open with our kind. Like we could go to the school, but the classes were all separated we were shocked when they opened it up that’s why I’m the only one from my coven from our age, I’m the test run to see what happens but if it works out most of older coven kids will come here. So far, its not looking good and lessons haven’t even started yet…” a couple of wolfs come in and stop they look us up and down and whisper to each other so we can’t here them, but they don’t know I’ve got super hearing like them.

“erh why do we have to share classes with them.” Wolf one says.

“I don’t understand the Alpha at all.” Wolf two says.

They go to sit at the front and continue bitching about us.

I turn back to our convocation. Peter still looks confused “but that doesn’t explain- “I shush him and point to the wolfs “spatium inaudita. Wolf hearing great when you need it but annoying when your talking about them” I explain and smile a Delila.

“Oh” peter says “I’ve never really been around wolfs their hearing give me the creeps” we all laugh at him “so back to the point why dose Ivy not like us” me and Delila roll our eyes “you know how you don’t really like wolfs” I ask and he nods “well that’s the way she feels about us.” Understanding crosses both Peters and Malek’s faces. While finishing the talk most of the class turns up some give us strange looks but that might be because they an see our lips moving but cant hear anything. About 2 minutes before class starts Lou, Ivy, Nomi, Alex and Toby walk in. The wolfs go and great their friends as Ivy walks towards us at the back. Delila and I look at each other with raised eyebrows then turn back to her sitting down next to Delila. We are all looking at her. “what?” she questions us. Malek shrugs his shoulders “we expected you to hang with the wolfs not us” she chuckles “well as much as I love those guys some of their friends are not pro-witches being here” I turn to see where the other sat and its with the wolfs that came in early and were talking about us. “well, we all knew this wasn’t going to be easy. Good thing we are all going to stuffer together” I joke, and we all laugh.

“Erm guys” Toby calls we all turn to him “why can’t I hear you?” he asks I laugh “spatium audivi. We wanted to have a private chat before the lesson” I smile most of the wolfs gasp as dose Ivy. “well maybe don’t do it in class, we’re hear to learn not talk.”

“He did not just say that with his alpha voice” Taylor says to me. I narrow my eyes and shuck my teeth. “well, if that’s the case why hasn’t you told any of the wolfs off” I question, low growls come from the room. “huh” Taylor starts “do they think that’s scary, that’s pathetic” I agree with her. Toby just looks me dead in the eye his mouth starts to open but is interrupted by the teacher coming in.  

“Sorry I’m late, I got confused with where I was teaching” she puts her things on the desk and looks up at all of us. She’s about 5.7, her brown hair is shoulder length with lose curls and she have hazel eyes. “I’m Nova your teacher for the history involving both Witchcraft and wolfs.” I look at her, and get a walm comfort feeling, like she’s safe Taylor says in my head “I like her” I shake me head and think weird. I look back to where toby was he’s now sat back down looking at the board.
