Why am I here? I don't know. What's going on? I don't know. Where am I? I don't know. So many questions I have no answers to. I hear a shuffling, I look up. I see something, I can't tell what it is, and it looks like eyes, yellow eyes. It howls. I scream. It looks at me, I look at it. I start to run, but it's faster. I black out...
The next day
I rolled over. "Well that was a weird dream" my hand hurt, I looked at it, it looked as if I had been bitten by something. "Weird" I muttered.
Get ready for school Lyra you already slept in!" My nana yelled "Ok nana!" I shouted back as I chucked on a jumper and jeans.
I opened the blinds and saw the forest off the back of the garden. There was a boy standing at the fence beckoning me, I opened the window and yelled down " who are you?!"
“Call me fang “he yelled back “we need to talk!"
"What?" I asked “I’ll be down in a minute!"
"Who you talking to Lyra " my nana came in and asked
"No one nana," I replied
"Fine, hurry up I have shopping to do and you need to go to school," she snapped. “You’ve been late twice this week”
“Ok nana, I'm off “I yelled as I rushed out
"Fang, you there” I called out.
"Over here, walk with me " he said
"I'll be late for school, I can’t, maybe later?"
“No now " he growled
"I can't I'll get detention if I'm late again!" I said "sorry!"
"This is important!!" He said
"Fine, this better be fast though" I told him
"So that dream you had” he started
"How did you know about my dream?" I interrupted
"Let me continue” he said
"Okay .sooo” I questioned
"That dream wasn't a dream, you were bitten by one of the pack, and now you could be in danger!"
"Who put you up to this was it Saffie?!" I questioned
"Who's Saffie” fang gave me a quizzical look
"Oh god I'm gonna be late got to go!" I exclaimed as I started to run
"Wait” he called “that way” he pointed right
"Thanks” I called back
School
When I got to school I got in just in time "here” I said
“Wow Lysandra on time today “Mrs Brigs said.
Once the register was done we went to our classes I was in math but I just couldn't concentrate I was too busy thinking about what fang said "Lysandra Dawnhallow! Are you in there?” Mr Toddy yelled
"Yes I'm here, sorry I was day dreaming."
"About what because you certainly weren't thinking about Pythagoras’s theorem were you!" He complained.
Then the bell went and I grabbed my bag and left
"Lyra, over here” Saffie called
"Hey Saffie how was your maths, Mrs Barclay in today? Or do you still have that mean substitute teacher Mr Thompson?”
"Mrs Barclays back so that's ace, she says she had the flu. So what are you in now?" She asked
"Just a free period, you?" I asked
"Getting a tooth pulled I'll be gone for the rest of the day " she smiled.
"Nooo you can't leave me before lunch again!" I exclaimed
"You'll be fine, just go home for lunch!" Saffie giggled.
The rest of the day went by like a blur and I jogged through the school yard and out to the forest to look for fang. Then I saw him in the shadows "hi” I said almost silently
"Where were you, I was worried. Come with me the counsel needs to talk to you." He growled "Now” he jogged further in to the woods. I wasn't even meant to be in these woods, my nana said they were dangerous she said my mother died in these woods but I followed him anyway.
"So you brought the girl I am pleased Fang” said a voice out the shadows "Yes of course I did Talia, you are my leader now. “He scowled.
"Wait fang I thought you were taking me to the counsel, I don't see any counsel." I told him.
She stepped out the shadows so I could see her; she was tall with long black hair falling down her skinny back
He said nothing.
"He had no choice he cannot disobey his queen, the penalty for that is death." She told me.
I thought about laughing at her, she was no queen but she sounded deadly serious so I stayed quiet
"Queen of what?" I questioned
"The wolves of course, are you blind, can't you see my eyes?" She replied in disbelief.
"Yes I do see your eyes, there green” I tell her flatly.
"She can't see through the glamour Talia." He muttered "she hasn't been turned for too long, her need trained in the ..."
“Shut up, you are lucky to be alive Fabian Bloodclaw “she snapped, literally.
"My glamour is gone so what colour are my eyes now?”
"Yellow” I stammered.
"Good, now where is your bite?" She questioned.
"My hand." I told her and put out my hand to show her.
She took it and frowned “hmm, open your mouth." She told me
“Why?"
“Just open your mouth. “She said abruptly
So I did.
"Your teeth are coming in quickly; you have to join the pack before the first transformation." Talia told me.
"My nana has already lost my mother and father she can't lose me, sorry Talia I can't join your pack “I paused “sorry."
"Lyra you don't have a choice Talia will kill you!" Fang said.
"He's not lying." She looked at me.
"Look, give me time, how long do I have?" I asked
"You have a week to join the pack, so I suggest that you talk to Fabian and he will show you the wolf village and all the things you need to know." She explained
"Why a week?" I question.
