CHAPTER 2: FULL MOON

Stasia instinctively put her arms to shield herself as she screamed shutting her eyes waiting for the attack that never came. Instead she felt a shove as someone pushed her out of harm's way. She opened her eyes to see Don besides her.

"Don?! But how did you get here so fast?" Stasia asked relieved, grateful yet bewildered.

"Uhm, I am a pretty fast runner, I guess." Don said nervously.

"I want you to run and find the closest safe place to hide." He continued.

"And leave you behind to face a wolf, hell no." Stasia said shaking her head violently.

"So you DO care about me?" Don asked raising an eyebrow, this was the least he expected from her. Truly he was shocked.

"Honestly, I don't give a damn, but I do know that you can't take down a wolf, much less anything this size."

"You are hurt already. Just go, I promise I will be safe ok?" Don said as the wolf stood up from where it was flung to and started to approach them once more.

"Okay. Stasia said as she limped hurriedly to the janitor's closet and closed the door.

"Oh my god, this is too much, my life has really changed drastically. A year ago, I would have taken down the wolf easily. Stasia said as she worried about herself, Don, and Ian.

A YEAR AGO

Stasia hung upside down from a low branch of a willow tree watching Jayden as he drew in colors under it. She blushed to herself as she admired his scattered silver white hair and his crystal eyes down to his faint pink lips and his sexy well shaped six abs. she licked her lips unconsciously as her eyes ravaged his body.

"Like what you see? Jayden asked suddenly which startled her making her to lose her balance and fall down.

"Oww, what did you do that for?" Stasia said holding her aching head. She held on to Jayden as she sat upright on the grass behind him, inhaling his sweet scent.

"You were busy spying on me, you deserve that." Jayden said smiling as he continued painting.

"No I wasn't and even if I were, I don't deserve it, I am a princess and I always get out of troubles." Stasia said as she sat down beside him. She removed some bits of sticks and grasses that had attached to her head, when she fell down, and straightened her gown. Her mum was certainly going to kill her if she got the gown dirty and her dad was already on her neck, for he said and I quote 'not being a princess'.

"Some princess you are, you can't even curtesy properly." Jayden said sniggering a bit as she gave him her dangerous look.

Stasia smacked him on his arms and said I'm learning. Okay give me some slack. She said giving him a small pout which Jayden pinched her cheeks and said "so cute". Stasia froze when she heard this statement, but Jayden had already laughed it off, as he let her go.

"Okay, fine. I will cut you some slack, by the way, what do you think of this painting. Jayden said showing her, his sketch book.

"Whoa.... Stasia started to praise him, but quickly changed her mind when she saw that it was going to flatter him up a bit. She didn't want him to know that he was a perfect artist. Jayden, her crush was perfect at everything, even breathing.

"I mean um ewww, its ugly. Why didn't you draw me instead? She said shoving the book back to him, as he rolled his eyes and took it back.

"Oh and you are beautiful? I rather pluck out my eyes and draw you. Jayden said as Stasia stuck her tongue out in anger.

She wanted to give him a comeback, but tensed. The mood has changed, the wind was still and quiet and she knew instantly that someone else was here, someone she hated, she looked at Jayden as she said.

"Great, now she's coming, she always wants to be around you and it is seriously pissing me off.

"Who is that? What is pissing you off? Jayden said, looking around but he didn't see anyone.

"You can't see her, silly. She is not yet in range. Bitch Maisie is on her way here. Can't stand to be around her, so later. She said as she snapped her fingers and disappeared from the garden. Stasia appeared in her room where she saw her twin sister Bella going through her clothes.

"Hey sis, how is Jayden doing? Bella asked without looking back. She was used to her sister's magical appearances or as she liked to term it as. It would be nice, if she uses the door, like once in a while.

"Jayden is fine, thank you very much, and I am pretty sure that he would have send you his regards, if I didn't leave in such a hurry and what the hell are you scattering my things for? Stasia asked as Bella kept on throwing more and more clothes from her wardrobe.

"Umm, the usual...just trying to... nothing, so just fine huh? You weren't thinking about how his hair, eyes, lips were down to the body......ouch" Bella said as Stasia smacked her with a pillow.

"What did I tell you about reading my mind huh? I thought I told you that it is off limits. Stasia said in an angry yet playful tone.

"Uhm, we are twins, its telepathy and not that hard so deal with it. Bella said rolling her eyes.

"Oh really, how about I talk about the secret crush that you have on Carl, the descendant of the crescent tribe. And I do know that that is why you are going through my clothes, you are looking for a dress that will impress him.

"You wouldn't try it. He has nothing to do with why I am searching through your wardrobe. I misplaced a... Don't you dare say it.

"Oh I would, plus all the love letters that you write but never send. You stash it in your secret drawer re reading it over and over again, is it 200 or 300 letters again, I simply can't remember. Dear carl, I love the way you make me.......

"Stop it Stasia. Bella yelled grabbing a pillow to hit her.

"No, you stop it. Stasia replied hitting her back.

"Pillow fight! They chorused as they started hitting each other while white feathers floated in the air.
