Jill's POV
I knew I was different all my life. I was left on the steps on the orfanange in a small town. No one knows who my parents are. I was left with nothing but a blanket.
The family who adopted me was a sweet christian couple who were unable to have a child. They acted as if God had answered their prayers and delivered me to them. I tried to be a good daughter and do as they wished. I tried believing in their God, but he felt wrong to me. I tried to be the little princess my mum wanted, but that was not me.
They hated the couple of friends I had, Megan was a wannabe witch she dressed the part but I think that's as far as her skill set went and Vitoria who was a total computer geek, that was it I had two friends and parents who tried making me something I am not. at school, I was a freak, yet no one picked on me. People looked at me in fear. I was left alone what was nice but I wanted to feel excepted but I knew that was not going to happen while I lived here. now let's get to the part where everything turned to utter shit........
I woke up with a groan. Today was my 16th birthday, and I felt like utter crap. I felt like I was burning up. my mum walked into the room and opened the curtains. "Time to get up and get ready for school."
"I don't feel good, mum. I think I am sick. I feel really hot, "
"Humm, let me grab the thermometer, and I will check your temp." she skuttled out of the room and soon came back with the thermometer. she pointed it at my head and gasped in shock. "Oh no, you have a temp. You stay in bed, and I will get you some painkillers. I don't think you will be going out with your friends tonight. "
"Yeah, I better text Megan and Victoria to let them know." I flicked them a group message, took my painkillers, and fell straight back to sleep. When I woke up, I was strapped to my bed with a bloody priest standing over me.
"What the hell?" I screamed while fighting against the restraints.
The priest glared at me while throwing what looked like water on me "demon remove yourself from the soul of this girl."
"I am not fucking possessed" I scream "let me go" just then I heard a voice "relax I will free us" as soon as I heard the voice my body exploded in to agonizing pain. I felt like all of my bones had been broken and then mending back together. I screamed in pain. I looked up at the priest as he turned white and ran from the room. what the hell I thought before I looked down at my arms and realised they were covered in hair. I was freaking out. what the hell is happening to me. "Relax, I will explain as soon as we are away from here,"
"Who are you?" and why are you in mu fucking head? am I bloody possessed?"
"don't be stupid. I am Clair, I will explain everything" I then lost controll of my body as it jumped out of my window and ran into the forest.
I could feel everything, yet I had no control. I could feel the wind against my skin, the dirt under my feet, I could smell everything. All of my senses had multiplied by 100%. After running for about half an hour, we stopped, and Clair started talking. "ok, so I am your inner wolf,"
"My, what now?"
"ok, just stop talking and let me get it all out."
"I have always been in you. I have watched everything you have been through in your life. You are a werewolf like all werewolves on the 1st full moon. After your 16th birthday, you will turn for the 1st time. unfortunately for you they both fell on the same day. If you had turned 16 before the full moon, I could have warned you. usually, the wolf is with its family, so they already know all this and know what is going to happen. In your case, your parents left you here, so you had no bloody clue. "
"Why would my parents leave me when they know what I am?"
"that I do not know, but I will help you find the truth."
"What am I supposed to do now? I can't go back home. I just turned into a bloody wolf and jumped from a two story window. "
"you will need to return and atleast talk to your parents, they might surprise you, but first I have been stuck inside you for so long please let me have a good run in the full moon"
"I am in no rush to return, run, and enjoy,"
I zoned out, trying to figure out what I was going to do while Clair ran and enjoyed her freedom. the sun was just starting to rise when we slowly made our way home. Clair jumped into my bedroom window with ease, and we transformed back into my human body. I quickly got changed and slowly made my way downstairs. my parents were both sitting at the dining room table waiting for me.
"Morning," I mumbled as I went to flick the jug on
"You need to sit down, Jill," my father demanded
I internally groaned as I made my way to the table and sat down.
"What happened last night, young lady?"
I just looked at him blankly. I had no idea where to even start. how could I explain something? I didn't really understand myself.
"Don't just look at me. We heard you gowling like a dog. We saw something moving under your skin. have you let a demon into your body? I bet it was that bloody witch girls idea she is pure Satan. "
"This has nothing to do with Megan. She has no idea. I only found out what I was last night. I didn't even know what I am existed. I thought it was all bloody fiction. "
"What do you mean what you are?" my father growled.
"I am a werewolf," I mumbled
"A what speak up and look at me when you speak."
I lifted my chin and looked him straight in the eye. "I said I am a werewolf,"
"Pack your things and get out. I am not having one of Satan's creatures living in my house. you have one hour to be packed and gone. " he grabbed my mums hand, and without even looking back, they both left.
I stood in shock. they are kicking me out. I started to freak out. I had nowhere to go. I sat down and started to cry.
"Go pack, Jill. Once packed, go see Megan. Trust me, her parents will be a lot more accepting,"
I didn't answer Clair. I just did as she said. I felt like I was in auto pilot. in the last 24 hours, my life had been completely turned around.
I flicked a message to Megan asking her if I could crash at her place for a few days, she replied back instantly.
'What the hell is going on, Jill? my parents have transformed my room so that half of it is set up for you'
I looked at my phone blankly
"I told you her parents would take you in," Clair piped up
"Yeah, but how have they already set the room up for me? I have not even told Megan about all of this mess yet. "
"Megan's family are witches. They knew you were a werewolf as soon as they met you. They knew what would happen when you turned 16. They tried to drop hints, but you didn't pay attention. "
"What hints?"
"Did you not notice all the werewolf books left around? or that for the last month, all they have been watching are werewolf shows?"
looking back, I did remember all that, " but why did they not just tell me?"
"Would you have believed them?"
"Probably not." I grabbed my bags and, with one last look around my room, walked down the stairs and out of the place that I had called home for the last 16 years. Thankfully, Megan's house was only a five minute walk.
Megan was waiting for me on the swing seat on her deck. I walked over thew my bag down and sat next to her.
"What's going on, Jill?"
I sighed, shaking my head. "I have no idea where to start. In the last 24 hours, my life has spiraled out of control, and I have no idea how to get it back on track."
"Start at the beginning, you woke up feeling sick. What happened between being sick and now?"
"I woke up feeling really hot.bi had a fever, so mum said to stay home. I texted you and Vic to let you guys know I was sick and would not be able to hang with you guys last night. I kept going in and out of consciousness, I remember coming to and I had a bloody priest in my room trying to get a fucking demon or some shit out of me" I started to shake and a tear slipped down mu cheek
"it's OK, carry on. I am here. for some reason, my parents seem to know what's going on. they told me that I needed to support you and keep an open mind. is that about your parents being religious nuts?"
"I wish that's the less crazy part of my story. I got really pissed off at the priest, throwing water on me. I wanted him to let me go. I started to gowl, I mean, I really growled, then my body started to change, and I lost control. The next thing I knew, I was jumping out of my bedroom and running on all fours. "
"Um, what do you mean you jumped out your bedroom window? you have a two story house. "
I nodded
"Running on all fours? Like a dog?"
"wolf," I corrected
"Last night was a full moon,"
I nodded again
"You're a werewolf. That's what my parents wanted me to be open-minded about. " It was a statement, not a question, but I nodded anyway. Megan threw her arms around me and held me in a tight bear hug. "I am so happy, I kept wanting to talk to you about supernatural up the law states that we are only allowed to talk supernatural with other supernatural. I had no idea. Mum kept telling me to be patient that one day soon, I would be able to tell you everything. I thought she was just saying it to be nice, but no, she was telling the truth. my best friend in a werewolf, another supernatural being. I am so happy. "
All I could do was look at her. she was so happy. I wished I could join her but I felt so lost. She had grown up with all this. I had just had it thrown on me.
Megan's POV
I could not believe it. My best friend was a werewolf. I had been telling her all my life I was a witch, I know she didn't believe me, but now I could actually show her. I was so excited.
"Come, let me show you our room." I knew that Jill's life at home was shit. her parents didn't let her do anything, and I knew that they hated me. The girl who always wore black. they thought I worshiped Satan. What is so wrong. I worship Mother Nature.
I dragged Jill to our room. Our house was way bigger than Jill's and a single story. My room was 3 times as big as Jill's old room. My parents had split the room in 2 so that we each had our own space.
"omg" Jill gasped. "Your parents must have known."
"Yeah, they started doing all this about a week ago. I kept asking why they were doing it and just said that soon you would need to stay with us. So I just sat back and let them"
Jill's POV
I looked around the room, and I was stunned. one side was black, and the other side was more white with wood finishes. I did not even need to ask what side was mine. I walked over to the wardrobe on my side and started to unpack. Megan sat on her bed with a smile on her face and watched me in silence. We didn't need to talk it was nice, and I finally felt like I was somewhere I could relax and let my guard down. Today was Saturday so we could just relax for the weekend before I had to return to school.
"What do you want to do today?" I asked.
"Let's text Victoria and go and hang out by the river." Megan had already pulled out her phone and started to se d the message before she even finished talking.
"What are we going to tell her?" I asked, starting to feel very anxious.
"The truth, we are you best friends. if you can not trust us, then who can you trust?
I nodded and started to change into my bikini and threw a tee and pair of denim shorts. Megan threw a black mesh dress over her black bikini. I am sure that one day she will add some colour to her outfits. Victoria texted back straight away to advise that she would be at Megan's place in ten minutes. We grabbed out bags and a towel and went to meet Victora out the front of Megan's house.
Victoria was the only one out of the three of us who had passed her test and bought a car. she was by far the most responsible one. She pulled up in her little yellow Suzuki swift. she loved her car and had work and saved hard to be able to have it. Her parents were working class poor so they could not afford to buy it for her. Victoria worked all through the summer holidays to be able to buy it. we hardly saw her for the whole seven weeks.
"Get in girls, it's too hot to just stand about."
It was the middle of Febuary, and we were having a heat wave. Meg and I quickly jumped in the car. Meg was in the passenger seat, and I was in the back.
"How come you're already at Megs Jill? I was expecting to pick you up next"
"She lives with me now. Her olds kicked her cute little but out of the house this morning."
"What? why? I know your parents were stricken all all but what did you do?"
Megan looked over her shoulder at me. "Do you want to tell her, or should I?"
"Maybe we should wait till we arrive at the river."
Victoria watched me in the rear view mirror. "ok, but you are spilling as soon as we arrive."
I nodded my head and sat in silence, wondering how I was supposed to tell this to Victoria. She was a top student and always looked at facts. She never believed anything Megan said about being a witch. I don't even think she had ever read a fictional book.
We arrived at the river a lot quicker than I would have liked. we grabbed our bags and laid out our towels under a tree. as soon as we were set up, Victoria turned towards me and said, "Spill."
I took a deep breath and told her all about how I woke with a fever, to waking up to a priest trying to do an exorcism on me. I then went to tell her about Clair, my inner wolf, and jumping out of my bedroom window. I finished on how I went down stairs and my parents telling me to leave and that they left me alone to pack.
The whole time I was talking, Victoria did not take her eyes off me once. Megan was sitting to the side smiling so much I was worried that her face might split. Victoria, on the other hand, was still just staring at me, even after I had finished speaking.
"Vic, are you OK?"
"Um, yeah, just give me a second to process what you just said. I will be back in a second. I need to cool off. " She then got up and went straight to the river without looking back.
"Wait, here I will go talk to her." Megan ran off before I could even respond.
I sat there all alone when I suddenly felt like someone was watching me. I looked around, trying to spot who it was, but I could not see anyone. we were the only people at this spot at the river. the next group of people were miles away and just dots in the distance. I was just about to go look in the forest behind us when Victoria and Megan returned from the river.
"I am sorry about how I acted, Jill. I will always love and accept you no matter what. even if you are a mystical creature that I was sure didn't exist."
Victoria's POV
I stood in the water up to my waistline and tried to process what Jill had just told me. I was a rational teen. I did not get carried away in fantasy bull shit. I focused on facts. a big fact was that Jill never lied to me. everything she said was the truth. I had known her since we were at kindy. The three of us just gravitated towards each other and have been best friends since. People say two is company and three is a crowd, but not us we work well just the three of us. Just as I was getting a grip on what Jill said must be true, Megan came into the water.
"You ok?" she asked me with a worried look on her face. "I took it easy, but I am more open-minded. I know you like life to be black and white. "
"Honestly, I think I am handling it better than I thought. Jill is not a drama queen. She always tells us the truth. Why would she start to lie now?"
"Exactly, she needs our support. Just think how she must be feeling, she always thought she was a normal human and now bam she is a bloody werewolf. " Megan grabbed my hand, and we started to walk back towards Jill.
"I am sorry about how I acted, Jill. I will always love and accept you no matter what. even if you are a mystical creature that I was sure didn't exist." I hung my head in shame.
"Don't be stupid. I know you, Vic. I knew you would need to take a minute to process. Unlike Meg here, who did not even seem fazed."
"I did have a thought, though. do you know how no one has ever bullied you? they all seem to keep their distance from you. Do you think that's because subconsciously, they saw you as a preditor?" I asked
Jill looked at me blankly
"It makes sense," Megan responded. "No one has ever bullied you. Victoria and I are always picked on unless you are with us. It's like as soon as we are with you, we are safe. "
Jills POV
I stood frozen. everything Victoria said was true. I had never been bullied, the two of them were always bullied like she said, unless they were with me.
"So you mean I send out like a serial killer vibe?" I laughed " Just look at me as your knight in shining armor. Who needs a man when you have me"
"I don't know a guy can do things that you just can't Jill" Megan looked longingly in to the distance.
"You don't even like any guys" I teased
"Not yet, I am still waiting for the one to walk in to my life"
"I think I have enough going on in my life, let alone adding a guy to the picture"
"Jill my love, the guys at school are scared shit less of you. I don't think you need to worry about a guy walking in to the picture any time soon" Megan laughed
Victoria shook her head at us both "Come on I am hungry Let's head to the mall and have some lunch"
We grabbed our stuff and headed to the mall. The good thing about eating at the mall as we can all have what ever we like and seat and eat together in the food court. Victoria wanted Sushi, Megan wanted Chinese and I wanted BK. we all parted ways and arranged to meet back in the middle of the food court. As I was stood in line I got the feeling of been watched again. I was not used to the feeling as like Victoria and Megan had pointed out most people seemed to avoid me. I looked around and spotted a super cute gut stood outside a gaming store looking at me. I looked around thinking he must have been looking at someone else, but the time I looked back he had gone and so had the feeling of been watch. That was super odd I though, but then my order got called so I grabbed my food and went to find Megan and Victoria. Both of them already had there food and were sat eating. As I sat down I saw the guy again sat at the table behind Megan and Victoria so when I sat down we would be facing each other. I could feel my face blushing as I sat down.
"Why are you blushing?"Megan looked at me
Her comment made Victoria also look at me.
I glanced up and saw the guy grinning at me. I loomed down at my fries and mumbled "nothing I am just feeling warm, must be a wolf thing"
We then all heard the guy let out a laugh. This caused both Victoria and Megan to turn around. "he can not have heard us, he must be laughing at something else" Victoria stated
She was right but I was sure he was laughing at my comment. We all sat in silence as we ate our food. I kept glancing up and the guy was still sat there. He kept looking at his phone, but I knew he was watching me.
"So what's the plan for the afternoon" I asked
"Shopping" squeeled Meg " A new crystal shop has opened and I need to check it out. Need to make sure that our room is fully blessed since you are moving in"
"Come on my little witchy pooh let's get you some crystals"
Megan squeeled and grabbed mine and Victoria's hand and dragged us towards the store.
Megan was in heaven. She moved around the store while Victoria and I stood to the side and let her go nuts.
"Do you know that the hot guys who sat behind us in the food court is following you?" Victoria asked
"What?" I asked
"I noticed that as soon as we left the table he did too, Now he is looking around the shoe store opposite us. I guess he is not getting the serial killer vibe from you"
I snook a peak under Victoria's arm and she was right he was pretending to look at shoes but kept glancing over at us.
"Just what I need, I find out I am a bloody werewolf and now some stupidly hot guy is following me around."
Jill's POV
Soon enough Megan had finished and started showing us everything that she had bought.
"I forgot. My parents said to give you this" Megan handed me a bank card "They know that your parents never let you go shopping so they told me to let you go nuts as a welcome present, They have given you $500 on the card. You are also going to get pocket money like me, but you have to do the chores and shit. "
"What?"
"You get to go shopping, buy clothes you actually like." Megan was grinning like a Chester cat
"OK girls, let buy me some clothe6s that I want."
I had never been allowed to buy my own clothes. My mother always bought my clothes. She did not have bad taste but she bought clothes that were so generic teen. I felt like I had no inderviduality. Now, I had the chance to change that. I could be who I wanted to be. "Ok, 1st, I want purple hair dye as I want to dye the ends of my hair." I was blonde, and my mother never let me even put a wash out dye through my hair. I had always wanted to, so now was my chance. The three of us spend the whole afternoon in the mall shopping. I think that they had more fun than me as they helped me find my own style. I had a cute we figure. Slim, but with tits and an arse. I went through puberty early, so I had already filled out. By the time we were finished, we had to grab a trolley for all of the bags. As we were leaving, I spotted Mr Hottie again. This time , he stood at a phone stall in the middle of the aisle, so we had to pass his. As I walked past him, I got his scent, and Claire, who had been quiet, 'muttered yummy wolf friend'.
'What did you say'
'Cute boy is a wolf like us'
I looked over my shoulder, and he winked at me before walking in the opposite direction. As soon as we got in the car, I had to spill.
"OK, so mr hot pants is a wolf like me,"
"And you know this how?" Victoria looked at me like I was crazy.
"Because we smelt him, and Claire told me,"
Megan and Victoria looked at each other and started to laugh.
"What?"
"Looks like you life might just get more complicated," Megan snickered. "New wolf, new look and a new man
I glared at her, and we drove in silence till Victoria dropped us off.
"I won't be able to hang tomorrow guys I have work and then catch up on homework,"
"That's cool. I am sure Jill and I will find something to keep us entertained on a Sunday,"
Just as we walked inside the house, we noticed Megan's mum in the kitchen making salads.
"Since it's nice and as a welcome to Jill, we are going to have a BBQ for dinner."
"ok, mum, we will just go put out shopping away, and then we will be back,"
Megan grabbed my hand and dragged me to our room. We spend the next half an hour looking through all of the things that we had bought before making our way back to the kitchen to see if Megan's mum needed a hand.
"You can both help set the table and put the salads, breads, and sauces out."
We both set to the task. It was a nice feeling. I already felt like I was part of the family. I never felt this way with my adopted family. The whole 16 years I had felt like an outsider. It was nice to feel accepted and like I belonged. After dinner, Megan wanted to cleanse our room, and Claire wanted to go for a run. After being told to be safe and stay out of the site of humans, I walked off into the forest. After walking for about an hour, I could not sense anybody. I took another look around and then stripped naked. I could feel Claire's excitement under my skin.
'Go nuts,' I told her. In the blink of an eye, I was a wolf. Claire shook out her fur and started to run. I loved the feeling of the wind through her fur and feeling her strong legs running. After a couple of hours, Claire started to giggle.
'What are you giggling about?'
'The hot wolf boy has followed us and is watching us'
'That's kind of creepy. Why do you think he is following and watching us?'
'Come on, I know you are sweet 16 and all, but you must know when a guy has a crush on you'
'No, I don't know. I have never had a guy have a crush on me. the boys at school are scared of me'
'Well, now you have a hottie wolf boy who is definitely not afraid of you.' I did not know what to say. The boy was very attractive. Shoulder length brown hair, build like a gladiator warrior, and his eyes were emerald green. My heart sped up just thinking about him.
'You do realise that I can sense all your emotions right' Claire asked and pulled me out of my thoughts.
'Sorry he is just extremely hot and you are telling me that he has a thing for me. This is the 1st boy who has ever liked me. What do I do?'
'Just carry on being yourself. He has already fallen for you'
Claire has been running around the whole time we were talking.
'We should probably head back. I don't want Megan and her parents to worry about me'
'I was thinking the same thing. I like them they have a good scent'
We ran back to the tree where I stashed my clothes. We quickly shifted, and I got dressed just after I had got my top on someone coughed behind me.
My heart was hammering in my chest, and I slowly turned around. Behind me stood Mr Hottie.
"Please tell me you did not just watch me get changed," I stammered. I could feel my face burning with embarrassment.
He looked down, embarrassed, and replied "No I sware, I only saw you after you had your top on." I knew he was lying but decided to change the subject.
"Why are you following me? I know you are like me. "
"I noticed you out in the forest last night. I could tell you had turned for the 1st time, and I enjoyed watching you run. I watched you get in your friends car the next day, so I ran beside you hidden by the Forrest in my wolf form. I then watched you with your friends and heard you tell them what you are. I was so surprised when your human friend who drove excepted you with no issues. The witch seems really cool, too. I am not used to seeing a wolf on her own with no pack around her, but I soon realised you don't need a pack as you have friends who love you like a pack. I could not get enough of you, so I admit I followed you again and went to the mall. Watching you act like a normal teen with your friends. I just felt so drawn to you. I want to get to know you better. "
"I am really not that interesting, trust me,"
"Let me be the judge of that shall we,"
I shuck my head at him. "So why, after all the stalking have you decided to come out and talk to me now?"
"Because you were alone and less likely to turn me down,"
I blushed and dropped my head down. "I have never had a guy like me before," I mumbled
I didn't even realise that he had walked over to me. He lifted my chin with his finger "Let's hope that I can be the first and the last" He lifted my chin further and planted a feather light kiss on my lips "I better let you go so your friend and her parents don't worry, I will see you at school on Monday" Before I had time to respond he ran off laughing. I tried to compose myself as I walked back to the house. I did not want to have to try and explain why I was a flustered mess, but I also had to tell Megan everything. How could I not tell my best friend that the hot guy from the mall liked me and that he had even kissed me.
Megan's POV
I was sat waiting for Jill to get home. I was starting to stress. She was new to this whole wolf thing, what if someone saw her and hurt her. Just as I was about to go into the forest looking for her, I was her emerging from the forest, and I jumped off the swing and ran to her.
"Are you OK? you have been gone so long I was worried. Mum and dad kept saying you are fine, but I was just so worried. " I gave her a huge hug before letting her go.
"I am good, Claire had a good run, and I have a talk to Mr Hottie from the mall."
I started to get excited. I had seen the way that he looked at Jill. He was crazy about her. Anyone could see the intensity in his gaze.
"To the room now young lady, you are not allowed any sleep until I get all the details, do you understand?"
Jill was giggling like a little school girl as I grabbed her hand and dragged her into our room.
