Chapter three - Good-Bye Laurelli.
I got home after what felt like days, although it was really minutes. When I got home, Charlotte, Jasmine and Claudia were waiting for me, sitting on my wall. Luckily, they did not see me before I turned around, and walked towards the bus stop.

My bus finally came - the bus to town. I paid my £1.50 return fare and sat at the back, by the window. I was day dreaming, reflecting on the past week. Phillius, Wolf, Animalism ( The change ) and the fact that I was going through seven razorblades a week. That annoyed the hell out of me.
As I was thinking, I saw my favourite take-away, Pizza Palace, and then I saw Phillius.
I had completely forgotten about meeting Phillius! I looked at my watch - 1:15. I was fifteen minutes late.
" Stop the bus! " I shouted to the driver, as I constantly pressed the bell, ding-ding-ding-ding-ding.
I got of the bus before it stopped moving, I ran across the road without looking. I patted my hair, and applied some lipgloss. ' Perfect - as usual! ' I thought. I hitched up my skirt, and walked around the corner where Phillius was waiting. The moment he saw me, he smiled like I was his favourite person.
I returned his smile, and we went into Pizza palace and sat down at a table. he was such a gentleman, opening the door, taking of my jacket and pulling out a chair. He paid for the food too, of which I found good.
" I owe you an explanation. "  Phillius said, after a long, awkward silence.
" Yes. Yes you do. "
" You are a werewolf. "
" I kinda gathered that. I may be blonde, but I am not dumb. " I muttered, more to myself than to Phillius.
" I am not trying to be annoying or anything, but you will have to allow me to explain everything with no interruptions. " I nodded in agreement.
" Good. Animalism. You have become a werewolf, as when your spirit became detatched from your body, you found the necklace. Every human who finds an animal necklace will have exactly eight weeks, or two months as a human. Then that human will have to choose what he or she wants to be - Animal, or human. Many people have chosen animal. "
I was shocked. I did not know that I had only eight weeks! How was I supposed to choose to be human or not in eight weeks? ' I will NOT choose. I will find a way around it. ' I thought to myself.
We finished our pizza in silence, and before I left, he said " Please, come to the tunnels whenever you like. And don't avoid Charlotte and the others. They do need to talk to you. Some girl thing." He shrugged.
How did he know I avoided them?

I was dreaming again. This time, I was on a lovley island. I could see the sun setting, it's reflection shimmering in the sea. The sand was a perfect, fine gold, with shells dotted around, as if someone had layed them out specially. I was lying on a towel, soaking up the rays, when I heard a horn. I sat up, and saw a boat, with a small figure waving, madly. Within seconds, the boat came to shore - with Laurelli, my BFFL, still waving at me on it. We ran towards eachother, arms outstretched, when she stopped in her tracks. She stared at me, and I saw her go white, like someone had poured milk into her body.
I looked at her, and like Mike, she looked like food, not my best friend. She ran towards the trees and my pink hammock, and hid, but I found her easily - I could smell her. I hated this. I loved it.
I leaped at her, and attacked. I tore at her limbs, and savoured every mouth-full like it was my last ever. I stared at her body, stepped back and turned human. I threw up all over my pink hammock.
I woke up in bed, ripped, blood stained clothes, and threw up again. Great.
