Jussya's POV:
It started out like any other night. I was getting ready for a date with my boyfriend, Christian. I heard a car crunch up into our driveway. The entire place was coated in snow. I was warm. Too warm. I should have been concerned, but I wasn't. I thought I was fine.
"So Jus, how are you feeling? You look a little pale." Christian commented when I stepped into his car. I nodded in his direction.
"Just a little woozy. Must have been something I ate."
"Do you want to cancel? I'll stay with you!" He murmured stroking my cheek. "Damn! Jussya! You're burning up!"
I rolled my eyes. "I know! Just drive! I'll tell you if I need you to pull over."
We hadn't been on the road for five minutes when the tremors started. I shook and shook. I couldn't stop shaking. I felt like I was going to explode.
"Christian," I gasped. He looked over, concerned. "Pull over."
He did as I asked. I kicked open the door and fell out into the snow, shaking uncontrollably.
"Jussya!" I heard a scream as I exploded. Literally. My skin tore off me as I changed. Into what I did not know.
White Fang's POV:
When my transformation was complete. I looked around. My surroundings were in a much brighter color.
I have night vision? That's interesting... My thoughts trailed off as Christian layed his hand on my shoulder.
"Jussya? What's happened to you?" He said, his voice wavering in panic.
I tried to speak, but a soft wimper came out. I sobbed internally, trying to figure out what had happened.
I'm a frickin' dog! I howled. An actual ear splitting howl wrent the night air.
It was true. My light cream fur blew around me. Christian shook his head in amazment.
"Jussya? Are you still in there?"
Of course I'm in here you stupid boy! Now move! I wanna go home! I nudged his hand away and trotted towards the car. My feet tangled up with each other, and I fell. I picked my self up again and pounced into the warm little car.
"I guess you probably want to go home?"
Nodded and let out an exubherant yelp. Maybe Mom knew what I was...
A suffocating feeling clouded my mind, and then the feeling was gone.
Zoh my god! Whose there? I yelped, flinching. There was a new pressence in my mind.
Umm... I'm Taylor... Who the hell are you?
Jussya... How can I hear your thoughts?
I don't know. Do you know what we are?
If I didn't know any better, I'd say we're dreaming. But seeing as I know better, I don't know what we are.
I think we're werewolves...
Yeah right. We're mystical werewolves, just like Jacob and the Pack in Twilight.
Yeah. That's my thought. I guess, since you changed first, that would make you the 'Alpha male'
Dude, I'm not male. Far from it buddy.
How about 'alpha female'? does that work? Or does just Alpha work better? Umm... Maybe you could have a cool code name!
Here, as my first order of buisness, I declare that you tell me how old you are, and where you go to school. (Hopefully not my school.)
I'm sixteen. I go to City. You?
Same. City and I'm nearly seventeen. So we both go to city then...
Another presence clouded our minds.
WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED!
Who are you? Taylor, do you know this guy?
No. I agree with Jussya. Who are you?
Zac. Dude. What. The. Frick. Just. Happened!
We aren't quite sure yet. We think we're werewolves. Crazy isn't it!
Where are you two?
My boyfriend's driving me home. I changed infront of him.
Not to go all 'Twilight' on you, but I believe the correct word is 'phased'.
Thank you Taylor!
No problem.
...
Well, I'm in my backyard, and my parent's are freaking out!
I'm lucky. I phased in my room.
Where do you go to school Zac?
City. Why?
Dude, we all go to the same school!
WAAAIT A MINUTE! You're Taylor Rynstone, and YOU MISS ARE JUSSYA GINENHAM! (oh my god, I'm sharing a mind with JUSSYA! Oh, GOD!)
I HEARD THAT!
A NERD, A WEIRDO, and ME? This is just freaky!
Wait, who's the nerd. If it's me, the proper term is geek. Geeks read and play dungeons and dragons. Nerds are good with computers. If the weirdo is me, then that is fine.
Dude... This is ZAC! The ZAC on the football team!
Yeah. I'm officaly declaring myself leader of this grouping of crazy people, excluding me.
WHAT! Zac I am the leader of this pack. I phased first. I have probably the most knowledge of the two of you (sorry Taylor, no offence)
(None taken)
Look, I don't know what the frick you guys are talking about.
GET THIS THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL ZAC! WE. ARE. WEREWOLVES. GOT IT?
yes jussya. anything you say.
I say, that when we get to school we act as normally as possible. We'll sit together at lunch. But, when talking about our 'furry little problem' I think we should all referr to each other by a name. Tay, Zac, what are your fur colors?
Umm, sand.
Silver.
Cream. But White Fang seems more appropriate. Umm how about Rumbler and Silver Claws?
How about we call Zac, Pebbles.
I am going to rip your guts out...
SORRY! How about... I got nothing.
Rumbler and Silver Claws. We can change it later.
White Fang? Really Jussya. Is that the best you can do?
It's for saying things like: ' White Fang is going to do some running tonight.' Stuff like that. So, meeting when we all are human again?
Aye.
Okay.
I looked up as we pulled into my driveway. Christian dashed over to my door and opend it. I bounded out. I was definately getting better with the four-legs thing. I trotted along side him as he approched my door. I stopped and ran back to his car.
"Jussya? What are you doing?" he called.
I pawed at the car door. He opened it.
I jumped in and fished my purse out, clenching it in my jaws. I bolted towards the door. Christian followed close behind. He rapped sharply on the door. My mom opened it.
"Christian! Where's Jussya?"
Christian pointed to me. "This is Jussya." I dropped the purse and walked slowly up to my mom.
Hi Mom. How're you? I thought.
The only sound that ripped through the stillness that ensued was my mother's scream.
