The bell rang signaling it was time to leave and go home. Today was Friday, almost a week since I came and three days since I've seen Toby again. I felt completely stupid once I realized I was thinking about him again. I should be glad that he wasn't here, I had been warned about his ways by the kids at school besides he got me nervous every time he was around. Like one time Mrs. Robin asked a question that I knew the answer to so I raised my hand, she called on me and when I was about to talk I noticed his eyes on me, watching intently  so I ended up stuttering like an idiot.

After that I felt extremely mad at him so I refused to talk or to even look at him, he always made me get shaky and made me shy. I sighed, Tyler was having football practice today so I would have to go walking home. He invited me to stay but I was too tired and too deep in thought to actually want to stay. I didn't mind walking, it would help me clear my head  and besides it was a beautiful day. There was a cool breeze and it wasn't hot at all, it was perfect. 

Why was I stressing over Toby? I mean, I barley know him and he is already occupying my head day and night. I frowned to myself ugh what is going on with me? I felt so confused, I couldn't unerstand anything  that was going on with me and that rarely happened, Why did I feel like this?

I stopped in my tracks. Where am I? I looked at my surrounding hoping to find anything that would give me the answer. Nope, nothing only trees and more trees around me but no sign or anything. 'Great now i'm confused and lost in the forest' I thought to myself.

I walked from where I came or where I thought I had come from but that just made the situation worse. Now I was more lost than before. Weird enough I didn't feel panic or terror at the idea of being in the forest alone until I heard a twig snap behind me. It wasn't so much the noise that had my heart start beating wildly in my chest but it was the feeling in the air. It wasn't right. I turned to meet a pair of  wolves looking straight at me. One was brown and the other one was a grey-ish color,

I wasn't sure they were wolves at first though because  they were bigger looking than wolves and had a certain look about them that didn't make them look as wild as one. They way their eyes looked, seemed like those of a human's. 'And now those eyes were looking at me enraged and they growled. 

I walked backwards, I could of sworn I heard them snicker maliciously. I knew fear was evident in my eyes, they were intimidating but there was something elusive tugging at my memory. It just made my heart pound painfully against my rib cage, I thought it would pop out any minute. I was breathing hard and sweating excessively. There was something extremely familiar about this.

I started running, I knew it was hopeless but I wasn't about to go down without a fight. I could hear them, their paws running after me. I looked up just in time to see one leap over and in front of me, it landed on its paws. 'Oh crap, this is it' I thought. I closed my eyes tightly and waited for the pain to come but it never did, instead I heard a loud growl. I opened my eyes and saw a jet black wolf  come out of the clearing. Wasn't two wolves enough to end my life? 

Now I was truly scared, the jet black wolf was as if impossible bigger than the other two wolves. He was the one that was probably going to kill me. The thought made me shiver, it was then that the wolf looked at me with it's big hazel eyes. He didn't look at me like the other wolves had looked at me, his stare didn't make me feel threatened on the contrary it made me feel calm and protected as crazy as that sounds. 

He turned back to the brown and gray wolves and growled furiously at them. The brown wolf that was in front of me approached me and just when he was about to lunge at me I saw the black wolf run and get in front of me. The black wolf lunged at the brown wolf and they fought growling at each other until I let out a scream. My leg hurt painfully, I looked down to see it bleeding staining my pants quickly. I fell and I saw the black wolf come just in time to save me from the gray wolf. 

I fell back on my back, I thought I was going to faint. I closed my eyes and focused on hearing what was going on, to distract myself from the pain. There were more growls, whimpers and then nothing. I could feel myself getting lightheaded and clammy. I felt a pair of arms around me, making me tingle even with all the pain. I opened my eyes, it was all blurry I could barely make out who it was. "Toby."I whispered before darkness overtook me.
