The pain of this is unbearable, and I know my eyes will be the only ones to deceive me. So, I walk away from the one person I have ever been able to trust. Hoping he knows none of what I said was true. I have to be strong enough, but it’s too hard to not turn. Too hard to not run back into the strong arms. The very ones I have grown to feel safe in. I want to take his face in my small, cold hands and wipe away the very tears I know are streaming down his stubbly cheeks. As if I’d wipe away all the wrong doings I have ever done.
No matter how much I want to, I don’t even give a glance over my shoulder once, because I cant stand to hurt him any anymore.

Cayden
That was it.
It’s over.
She left, just like they all did. Like, 2 years never mattered.
Not even giving me a chance to prove that I am not like everyone else in her life. That I won’t hurt her like everyone else did.
That I won’t tell her secret—
She was the only reason I stayed in this small, cruddy town of Williamstown, West Virginia.
“Well, what fun I’m gonna have with you, little pet.” The tallest of the two duds, chipper at me. She was skinnier than the redhead who, moments earlier, had been chasing me down hard, before knocking the breath out of me. The tall girl’s hair was dark as tar. Eyes, an amber of gold. A dimple, only on her left cheek. A little too close to her tiny, almost non-existent mouth.
Her high-pitched tone woke me up from my aching thoughts. Reminding me of what was going on around me.
That little B****!
The redhead was just glaring at me. As if she was planning the latter. I can only imagine the torment and torture she was scheming for my “WELCOME HOME” party.
I hate Cassidy! I have known her almost my entire life. We were born only two weeks apart. Our coven had ‘our wedding’ planned before we could even walk! I don’t remember when we started to hate each other. All I know is, most of our childhood at the Colonial Cave, we spent inseparable. The day we started Carcass Academy, I knew something changed. I never understood what I did wrong to her. All I know is that she started to morph into someone I no longer knew. She grew darker. The light in her eyes dimmed. That bell-like laughter hardened. She disappeared from my life for longer periods of time. She came back a year ago, a stranger.
A MONSTER!
That was when she sent those trolls after me. She almost had me killed. I should have realized it sooner, but that moment on, I just knew. I would never get Sassy Cass back. That girl was now dead.

Raven
I can hear Lyla’s tinkering voice as I walk out through the last exit before I reach the dewy grass field that lies in the middle of nowhere.
“Well, what fun I’m gonna have with you, little pet!” I hear her say cheerfully.
That’s it! I can’t deal with this anymore. I have to find a way out of here, and fast! I almost jump the last step out of this neverending cave. Though I know I can’t do the change till I get into the brush and trees. I rush to the left part of the clearing. Only there would I be able to morph into the form I feel most comfortable in.
Only then would I become the daughter of the moon.
Only then can I become one with my Werewolf.
It takes me a little longer than I’m used to, to reach the end of the clearing. Yet, then again. I was on barefoot, instead of padded paws.
When I reach the left of the clearing, I make sure to use my senses to make sure I am not being followed. To be extra cautious, I give it about 2 more minutes. Like my mom always said. You can never be too cautious. When I am sure that I am absolutely alone, I walk between the first few trees. The scent of these woods is all too memorable.
This is the spot where I first met Cayden. The first time I realized he wasn’t like those demonic blood-suckers.
The first time my very blood almost killed him…
That was all it took. I couldn’t hold the rage in anymore. My body grew hotter as my anger boiled. Then, all you could hear was my red, flowered dress being torn to shreds.
I was turning.
