Bitten.

The Jog.

"Aria? Aria??" The voice was getting louder at the second. I opened my eyes and leaned up. The voice was coming from my mother, Kathy. "Wake up. It's almost dinner time." My mother was yelling from the downstairs kitchen. I got up and walked to my bathroom. I looked in the mirror and at my thick red hair put up in a messy bun. I took off my flannel pants and baggy t-shirt and put on my leggings and running shirt. I put my hair up in a high ponytail and grabbed my phone as I made my way out of my room.

I walk down stairs and kiss my mom goodbye before I go on my night time run through the park. I put my phone in is carrier on my arm and turn on my music. I walk outside my house and take off running until I get to the park. The sound of the animals was soothing and calming. I turn my music down enough to where I could still hear the nature sounds. I finally decide to just take my headphones out completely and listen to the beautiful sound of nature. 

As I come up on the creek, I stop of the bridge and rest for a minute. I look down and see my reflection in the crystal clear water. I look up and into the small patch of woods where the creek enters, and see something strange. There are glowing red orbs between two trees. The orbs are small and bright, they look like eyes. I back away and watch them as they look like they are getting closer. As the orbs get closer, I hear rustling in the bushes and sticks breaking under the feet of whatever this thing was. I back up slowly and the thing moves faster. I take off, but before I could get off the bridge, the thing landed on top of me.

I was pinned to the ground and looked at it. It was a boy, he had hair all over his cheeks and his ears were pointed. His eyes were glowing a bright red, and he had sharp fangs. He looked at me and grabbed my arm. I pulled back but this boy was extremely strong. He pulled my arm towards his mouth and bit into my wrist. I screamed in pain but he put his hand over my mouth. I closed my eyes as I screamed, then I felt the pressure being lifted off me. I opened my eyes and saw another teenage boy, he wasn't much older than I was. He picked the other boy up and threw him away. The boy growled and roared, this boys eyes were not a searing red but a piercing blue. He was not much stronger than the other boy, but it seemed like he didn't want any trouble. 

The boy that attacked me ran away from the scene, but the other boy stayed behind. He approached me, I stood up and held my arm as I back away from him until I hit a tree. He put his hands up in peace, "I'm not going to hurt you. I just want to see if you're alright." He spoke with a soothing, deep voice. His eyes stopped glowing and the hair on his cheeks faded to where he looked like a normal teenage boy. He was very attractive, he had golden brown eyes that could make you melt into a little puddle. I looked at him and immediately felt safe, I don't know what it was but he just made me feel safer than I should have. 

"I.. I think I'm fine." I said still freaked out of my mind. I looked down at my arm and held it up at him. "What did he do to me?" I say as fresh tears roll down my rosy cheeks. He grabbed my arm and examined it. "He bit you. He's a werewolf and so am I. Just like you will be when the bite takes." He looks into my eyes with a look of sadness. "A were...wolf?" I say with a speechless look on my face. "You need to get away from me.. If you are pulling some type of trick on me then I will find out and I will press charges of assault. I don't know how you did that eye and teeth thing but it's not funny. Now, I'm going home!"

I walk right past him, pushing him to the side to get past. I keep walking and holding my arm. It bleeds heavily and it won't stop bleeding. I cry in pain as I continue to run. I reach my house and run inside as my mother is already asleep. I go inside my bathroom and immediately clean the wound out so it does not get an infection. After cleaning it, I put a bandage over it and put medical tape over it to keep it secure when I sleep. I walk out of my bath room and take my running clothes off and put on a baggy shirt and pajama shorts and long socks. I get in bed and close my eyes.
