A painful bite, blood poured down from my shoulders to the clean white mass of snows on the floor.
Tears poured down my eyes at the excruciating pain. The wolves weren’t showing mercy and I luckily drew a stick to scare them off, but they were fearless and made no motives to run.
Another leaped towards me and I closed my eyes awaiting my death.
But why is the wolf not biting. I still shut my eyes wondering what could possibly go wrong. Or maybe, ….
I opened my eyes and was surprise to see another black wolf fighting with the gray wolves.
Is the black wolf really fighting for me?
Is time to run?
But, I need to see how it would end.
I stood like a tree watching the fierce battle between a lone black wolf against a park of seven grey wolves.
That seems unfair, but in truth, the lone wolf was really defeating the others.
And soon, six wolves ran while one was left dead.
The black howled triumphantly and I couldn’t help but smile. Forgetting the massive wound on my shoulder.
The victorious wolf growled angrily as he glared at me. I wanted to run but I stumbled and fell. And vision fade out.
*******
My eyes flickered continuously in my sleep. I can’t help but smile at the touch of a firm hand on my shoulder. Someone is giving me a shoulder-massage and is undeniably good. But why is someone massaging me, and who is the someone.
I opened my eyes and used my eyeballs to scan the environment. This is my room.
Who got me here?
What happened after I fainted?
“Stay still.” The voice was a masculine husky voice. There’s no male in the house. For Now.
So who is the owner of the voice.
I jerked up from the bed and glared at him.
Oh,
“Mummmm!!!!!!!” I screamed as I saw him. The wizard in the class. Yeah, MAX,.
“Mummm!!” I shouted again hoping my step mom would rush in to save me from death.
“What’s this for?, why are you shouting?” He asked angrily as his eyes turned red.
I swallowed a lump and forced myself to keep calm, or he would kill me right away.
He dipped the towel in the hot water and kept touching the sore with it. The pain was much but I couldn’t shout or cry.
“Please don’t kill me!,” I cried and pleaded.
He gave me no answer, but just kept doing the massage.
I sob silently as he did so, am in a room with a sorcerer.
“I was taking a walk, when I saw you on the floor in a pool of blood, so I decided to help.” He said as he dressed the wound.
I was unable to say anything.
“Am sorry for the injury.” He added as he tied it up with a bandage.
“Bye.” He mumbled and made to leave.
But he stopped and turned back.
“By the way, am not a wizard of a sorcerer.” He said and opened the door and left.
I peeped through the window, but I saw no sight of him leaving. He’s a wizard indeed.
“Who was that guy?” Isabel rushed the words as she ran to my room with her twin sister.
“He looks hot.” Marabel added.
I sighed atom their attitude, they don’t even care to ask how come about the bandage.
“Well he’s a classmate.” I sighed.
“Wow…, ” they exclaimed and exchanged glances and nodded. I guess they are up to something, but that’s not really my business.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Next day.
I wore my backpack and headed to school, running as fast as i can to avoid another invasion cause I might not be lucky as yesterday. My angel wolf might not be available today.

I trailed behind her, hoping she’s safe. I kinda feel for her. The sore would take ages before it would be completely healed.
Timon and his cohorts must pay for invading my territory and hurting my “seat mate.”

I walked to the class, as usual, derisive words were said to me. But is high time I start ignoring everyone. Yeah… Am not here for them afterall.
I walked to my seat, luckily, The demon is not yet in school. I pray he never comes.
I sat and heaved. What a relief.
Not up to a minute, he walked into the class, with his ‘never smiling’ expression. He came to the seat and sat without giving me a glance.
I was tempted to say something but I can’t.
I watched him as he opened his bag and brought out a book and started reading, not actually reading cause the book was blank.
I couldn’t help but admire his features. He looks like a Greek god. Too bad he’s a demon.
“How long would you keep staring?” His voice jolted me. Oh my God, such a sweet masculine voice.
He suddenly looked at me, when I gave him no answer.
“So how are you doing?” He asked suddenly as he put back the book in his bag.
“Is it still painful?” He asked
“What?” I stated with disdain.
“The wound on your shoulder, is it painful?”
“No, is sweet?” I stated with sarcasm.
Such a silly question.
“Am sorry” he blurted and it just seems like my ears didn’t hear well.
Guys like him don’t apologise.
“Hi class!” Mr David, walked into the class, saving the awkward moment.
“Hello Mr David Donald Dennis.” The class chorused.
“Ann, what’s wrong with your shoulder?” He asked as he saw the bandage.
Hell no, what am I going to reply.
I uncoiled dramatically from my seat and stuttered.
“It’s an injury.”
“I know it’s an injury… what really…”
“I was bitten by a wolf.” I interjected and the class scowled and for once, they were sympathetic.
“Wow, where did it happen?”
“Yellowstone road!” I replied
“Sit!” He ordered and I sat ignoring the glare from Max.
“Class you all need to pay attention, the wolf in this city is increasing day by day. The death rate is getting high as a result of the menace of this wolves.” Mr D, paused, then resumed.
“The menace of this wolves are quite unbearable. But there are some things you need to know.
A wolf weighs over 180 pounds and can run at the speed of 40mph. They are even faster than the fastest human.
They feed on anything flesh. They hunt in packs.
So whenever you see a pack of wolves, the only option left for you is to climb on a tree.
But whenever you see a lone wolf, shoo it away and it would run, cause they are not a solitary animal…”
“Are you saying that a lone wolf is not dangerous.” Someone asked and surprisingly, it’s MAX.
“Yeah, I can even defeat a lone wolf.” Mr David snorted and MAX smiled devilishly.
I guess, he’s up to something.
“And this is your first time, you are asking question in the class, you dumbheaded boy.” Mr David suddenly picked offence.
“Now stand up!” He ordered angrily.
“Spell the word, CATASTROPHE”
I looked at Max and he looked back at me.
“Am waiting..” The teacher was impatient.
Max hesitated and slowly, he started.
“K-A-…”
“Dumbheaded boy, you can’t spell it, Alex, help him out.” The teacher said and pointed at Alex, the cool guy.
Alex stood up slowly
” CATASTROPHE.” He spelt it without hesitation.
“Alex, go over to his seat and be at him with this.” Mr David said as he handed Alex a slim whip.
Really?
I know, Alex won’t bring himself to do that, he’s calm.
“Sorry sir, send someone else, I can’t.” Alex muttered.
“No one can refute my orders, do that now!” The teacher blurted angrily.
“Sir, give him a second chance,” I shouted and all eyes turned to me.
“Yeah, he might be able to spell it.” I shrugged and looked at Max, who gave me a glare.
I can’t bear, watching Alex be at him with the whip.
“Alright, Max, spell the word, APOSTROPHE.”
Just then the teacher phone rang and he ran out to answer it.
“Can you spell it?”, I asked in whispers.
He glared at me and shook his head.
So pathetic. I took a shut of paper and scribbled it down.
“A-P-O-S-T-R-O-F-E-E” I wrote it on the paper.
“Apostrofee.” I looked at it.
No that’s wrong.
Then the teacher entered the class again and I passed Max the paper.
Am not sure if that’s correct. But it might be.
“Spell the word, APOSTROPHE” the teacher repeated the question and MAX quickly spelt what I wrote.
“APOSTROFEE.” He rushed it and the class roared in laughter making MAX looked at me.
“Such a shame, even my four year old daughter would be able to spell it. You have a fish brain. If pictures were to be beside every words in the dictionary, then your picture should be beside the word, illiterate…”
While the teacher was saying, I saw tears in his (max) eyes. And his palms began turning into paws with long sharp claws.
He dipped his hands inside his hoodie and ran out of the class.
And I took the risk, to follow him.

I ran to the school garden and sat, for the very first time in my life, I cried. The insults is quite too much. And…
“Max!!” Anna’s voice jerked me. I dare not turn back, else she would see my wolf face and long claws.
“Get out!, you traitor, you did that on purpose so the class would make mockery of me.” I seethed and my voice came out in growls.
The wind became strong and I can hear her gasped at the sudden windstorm.
“That’s not what you think. Trust me!…it wasn’t intentional. I’m not really…” she paused “good at spelling.”
“Then why did you try help when you’re not sure.” I roared again.
Then I felt her hands wrapped around me from behind.
“Am sorry Max.” She sobs with her head relaxed on my back. While her hands were crossed on my stomach.
Slowly, my paws turned to palms and my hairy face turned back to normal.
I felt something I’ve never felt before. Would I call it love.
Never, a wolf can’t fall in love. If ever am going to fall in love, then It would be with a wolf. Yeah, a female grey wolf.
I quickly released myself from her.
“Don’t do that again!” I said and walked out.

I felt cold as I gripped him. Though he’s a demon, but I still find myself attracted to him.
Is it love?
Or mere infatuation?.
I guess am just infatuated by his features.
“What are you doing here alone in the garden.” The principal asked. And I flinched.
“You must be punished, come with your cutlass.” He ordered.
*****
It’s been two hours and I’ve been clearing the bushes outside the school premises.
I felt a movement deep down in the Bush and I froze hoping it’s a deer. But it’s not.
I continued working until someone jumped from a tree.
“Gotcha!” The voice shouted and I nearly fainted.
It’s a girl. Dressed in black all through. So beautiful and …
“Who are…you?” I asked.
“Am Kyra.” She said as she walked around me, looking at me like she wanna eat me.
“What are you doing here?” We asked at the same time.
“I was actually waiting for you?” She said.
“Me??”
“Yeah, I want us to be friends.” She said sourly.
She looks kinda dangerous and sinister.
“Ok, sure.” I said with a shrug.
Then we heard a noise, deep down in the Bush.
“That must be a deer, i’ve to get it… see you later.” She said and ran to the direction of the noise.
Deer?
Is she a carnivore?
That’s not my business though.
**********
I walked back to class to hear shocking news.
Mr David whipped Max with a wire and was later found dead in the school backyard.
Sure, he’s death happened to be a coincidence with the whip.
But deep down in me, Max killed him. I’m sure of That. How can an energetic man died so sudden.
The whole school gathered at the school backyard, looking at the corpse.
While I took the greatest risk to interrogate MAX.
“How dare you kill him. Just because he embarrassed you in the class.” I sneered as I met him in the garden. His back was to me.
“Am talking to you?” I said and slammed my hands on his back. But it seems, I made a mistake, cause I later find out that I slam my hands at the back of a wolf.
How can I mistook Max for a wolf, and what’s a wolf doing in the school garden.
And the wolf leapt on me, I shut my eyes tight, but I opened it again just to see Alex fighting with the black wolf.
