Wolves Hold Onto Friendships | H o L L o w T r e e

Priscilla lout a deep breath. "Phew." She exaggerated, "I thought you'd never ask! I'm glad you only have eyes for Michael so far. He'll grow on you, that's for sure. As for being a player, does that really matter? You're pretty! He can't have eyes for anyone else if he's with you. If he does, just tear them out. That's what I would do." She laughs slightly then she even questions herself to if she was joking or not. "Anyways," she says, "Alex and I have a very complicated relationship. He's been loyal to my brother since forever, and he doesn't want to break that bond. I'm certain he like me though! He doesn't act like he does, but when he's alone with me, it's like he's a whole other person and not a robot. Between you and I, I think he's scared of Matthias..." She pauses suspensefully before adding, "Don't worry about the werewolf thing. There aren't really any huge downsides. It gets easier, and you'll learn how to control your hearing, sense of smell, and even shifts. Matthias thinks our pack is strong only because we're always around each other. That could be true, or it could be his excuse to control all of us. If it is, then we're falling right in his trap!" She positions herself by the door for a moment to recollect her thoughts and wonders if you're a good listener. "That must be the only down-side. We have to give up all lives we had outside of the pack. For once, I was going to be popular without it being because I'm a werewolf or because Matthias is my brother. The cheerleading team saw how flexible I was in gym, and for the first time in school history, they recommended me to join. So, I did, and I enjoyed every minute of it. I thought I didn't like attention, but that's probably because the only attention I got before becoming like this was negative. I heard the crowd cheering for me, and half the football team froze when they saw me on top of the pyramid. Then, my brother and his friends came to the game and ruined everything. They caused a scene, and Matthias abused his alpha voice to force me to quit in the middle of the game in front of everyone! I wasn't embarrassed, but I was disappointed. That's why I want a friend who's a girl, and just wait until something happens where he controls you too. Then, you'll understand.

Presley stood outside of the door and ignored the sound of her phone vibrating... "Clothes? Er, sure. Thanks!" She responded with a slight squeak in her voice. She rubbed her head before saying, "I guess I'd owed both of you two if you lend me these clothes and a ride to school. I'm kind of bruised up, but I don't remember how that happened. I don't really have much of an explanation to why I'm out here either."

I waited outside of the music room, looking down happily at the text message sent from Zakk. "She's with you? Boy, does she have some luck. You should really get her back here." I texted in reply then placed the phone in my back pocket again in case I get another text. I turned the knob to the room to reveal two girls. But, no, these aren't just any girls. They're Matthias's girls! I thought that it would be an ambush, but they look as shocked as I am. I'm also mildly surprised that they'd be here. I almost never see them away from their friends. I guess they snuck away.

"Ooo Alex," she said, wiggling her eyebrows up and down. "Even if Michael did like me back anyways, I wouldn't force him to not look at other girls and such. If wants to be loyal and such, so be it. But I won't waste my time on someone who doesn't care enough for me." She stated. Riley shrugged before continuing. "If you like Alex enough, then don't hide it. Make it obvious and see how your brother reacts, and then go from there."

"And I could never be around guys when my brother was still around. He was always overprotective, and felt that it was his job to constantly protect me. Your lucky to have your brother, no matter how pushy and demanding she is," she grinned, remembering her brother and how he left to figure out what happened to their parents.

Priscilla replied, "Your brother left? Do you think he'll ever come back for you? I might seem like I hate my brother, but if he were to ever leave, I don't know what I'd do." The door opened to the music room, and Priscilla jumped up in shock. She thought it was Matthias, and he was about to say that he was listening the whole time, but it's just a random skater girl to Priscilla. She notices the girl looks especially shocked like she was hiding something. "I'm sorry." Priscilla says to avoid any more awkwardness. "I thought that nobody was going to be in here. Riley and I were just talking, but if you need to practice for band or whatever, then it doesn't matter. We're leaving." Priscilla begins to walk out already without Riley and keeps her eyes on the girl. Priscilla notices her strange presence, but she doesn't look for too long, for Clarity notices her staring. Priscilla walked passed her and through the door when she suddenly heard the first bell for class. It rang in her ear and caused her to fall paralyzed besides the wall. It rings twice like always, but her wolf ears turned on for some reason. Something must have triggered the instinct.

Priscilla, Matthias's younger sister, tries to walk passed me. I step away to give her room and avoid crowding, but she stares at me like she knows something. It was aggravating to the core, and I was about to snap at her, but then the first bell rang and it had my ears pounding through. I'm usually fine with the bell as long as my instincts are turned off, but I guess my anger switched them back on. I could faintly see Priscilla also paralyzed against the wall. I'm kneeling in front of the door while clutching my ears. It doesn't do much, but I think I know what the excuse will be if anyone asks. After the second ring, I immediately pop back up with contained anger raging inside of me. "I just don't like loud noises!" I explain while pushing the second girl out of the music room and closing the door. It was a poor excuse, and I most likely gave my status away. So, from now on, I'll have to be even more careful.

"Yes he left...." She started but cut off when she saw a girl. Priscilla stared at the girl, and Riley looked away. When Priscilla started to walk away, Riley was a bit confused. "Hey where are you going?" She called, walking after her after being pushed out of the room. She would deaal with her later. When the bell rang, and Priscilla slid against the wall, Riley rushed over to her side. "Priscilla!" She called out worriedly.

[Mr Fox.]

She nodded, unbuckling her seat belt and digging in to her pack and grabbing the garments and turning back to the girl and handing them to her. " They should fit, might be a little long or tight in some areas but its better than nothing." Anna said and waited for the girl to get into the car.

Zakk read the text and then looked over presley a little surprised that Clarity would choose such an.. Awkward girl to be part of the pack but he shrugged it off. It was Clarity's choice not his but he thought maybe the Alpha could have atleast told the them that she would be adding more wolves. He leaned over to his sister and told her in a hushed, almost silent voice that the "random" girl that was outside their truck was actually the newest member of their pack.

Priscilla couldn't see the other girls and was too busy shielding her own ears, but she heard struggling coming from inside of the music room. She assumed it came from Riley. After the second bell, it vibrated throughout her ears and made her hold on even tighter. She heard a faint voice say something then, suddenly, Riley came into the hall and the door to the music room was shut behind her. She looked at Riley and shrugged. "We can't tell Matthias about this. He'll freak!" She said then remembered that they were late and her brother probably waited up for them even though she specifically said not to. She quickly grabbed Riley's hand again and rushed through the halls, up the stairs, across the corner, and into their first class. Fortunate enough, the teacher was also late, and they weren't caught. Priscilla sat in the back where less attention would come to her and hoped Riley would also sit close by.

As Riley was dragged through the halls by Priscilla, she thought about the situation that just unfolded. Once they were seated in the back of the class, Riley turned towards Priscilla and gave her an exasperated look. "So if we aren't going to tell your brother, then what are we going to do about her? Because I swear if she touches me again, shel'll regret ever doing it!" she whispered loud, but not loud enough to draw attention. Her hands shook, and she felt like she was going to lose control. "Calm down," she commanded herself, not being able to control her anger at the moment.
