"Hello Madison, how are you?" Liam overheard a girl talking to the girl he liked.
'I can use my Werewolf super hearing the overhear people'
As much as he wanted to, he felt bad for listening in to other people's conversations...
'Madison...'
The bell for break time rang throughout the school...
Liam and Jorden sat down on a bench.
"What you did back there with those Juniors was awesome..." he shouted, making sure everyone sitting around them heard.
Liam stared into the distance. He knew he had no control over his new supernatural abilities. He didn't mean to pick a fight with the Juniors.
"It just sort of... happened" he told Jorden.
'Learn control'
"Tell me what's going on" Jorden said, suddenly serious.
'Learn control'
And so Liam told him about waking up in Wolf Woods. And about the parts of dreams that seemed so real, his increased senses and speed...
Liam didn't know how Jorden will respond.
"You're a Werewolf" he replied, after a few seconds of silence.
"I figured that out already" Liam said, sighing in relief that Jorden took the news well.
"A Werewolf" he repeated, looking astonished.
Liam wondered whether Jorden was the 'friend' the mysterious man was talking about.
"Half-Human, Half Wolf" Jorden said.
Liam nodded.
"Right, meet me after school on Wolf Woods" he said, standing up.
"Why?" Liam asked.
"We need to do some tests after school to see what you can do..." He grabbed his bag and left without saying another word.
LATER THAT DAY...
"What's that?" Liam asked, gulping.
He was back in Wolf Woods. Jorden wanted to test to see what Liam can do with his Werewolf abilities.
Jorden held a shard which looked as if it was made of silver.
"Let's see how fast you can heal" Jorden said, moving the shard towards Liam.
"But that's not the real question, is it" Liam said, paralyzed. He didn't know why he was scared.
'How do I heal?'
'How will silver affect me?'
'Will it affect me at all?'
These questions raced through his head as the silver blade made contact with his arm. He felt a tingle go across his arm.
Blood started to form.
Only a single drop fell before the wound disappeared.
"It's gone" Liam murmured.
"Yeah. It looks like silver doesn't affect Werewolves"
"SHOW ME" came a voice. A figure stepped out of the woods.
"It's you" Liam said, glaring at the man whom he met minutes after he woke up.
"It shouldn't be able to heal" he said, ignoring Liam's rude gestures.
"Silver is poisonous to Werewolves. Life-threatening!"
"What does it mean?" Jorden asked, ignoring the fact that a stranger whom he never met stepped out of nowhere.
"You might be-" but he stopped midsentence.
Liam knew that the stranger was holding something back from him, but he didn't ask questions.
"My name is Dean" the stranger said, before stepping back into the forest...
"Who is that guy?" Jorden asked.
"Meet me at the abandoned house" Liam heard Dean's voice.
"Did you hear that?" he asked Jorden, who was writing his findings on a piece of paper. He was fascinated by this new world he accidentally stumbled upon.
"Nevermind..." Liam replied.
"So we've figured out that most Werewolves are supposed to be weak to silver. But you happened to be... immune" Jorden muttered to no one.
But Liam wasn't listening to him. He was too busy thinking about the stranger's name:
'Dean'
'Dean'
'Dean'
"Jorden... I think I know why he's trying to help us..."
