Chapter 7

“A wolf can go days without eat, it hunts to find food every day to keep itself stocked up but when pray is scarce, it last for days without it along with the pack but they can turn to cannibalism and eat one of the omegas”

“Jake! JAKE!!”
“Huh what?”
“Jake get up, you’re gonna’ be late for school.”
“Mum?”
“Yes it’s mum, you need to get dressed, you’ll have to run”
“Right okay”

I looked at the clock, I should’ve been awake half an hour ago, I dragged myself out of bed again, Wednesday. Perfect. My worst day of the week, and I has PE to. Great. After I managed to open my eyes properly I got into my uniform, then got into my uniform with my shirt on the right way round and stumbled out the front door. I’d have to run if I wanted to get to school on time. I started a slow jog, and realised soon that I could keep going, normally I would be out of breathe straight away. I felt like I was Peter Parker of spider man when he wakes up to muscles, except for me it was happening gradually, I couldn’t see any physical changes or anything else, but I could run allot longer for allot faster. I knew even if I sprinted to school I wouldn’t get there on time. I had to take a short cut; the only problem was there was only one short cut. The forest.

Luckily it wasn’t through the centre, the forest went on for miles and miles across nearly five towns, it was the largest forest in my area, well, it spread across a few areas so the biggest in them to, and a few others. It was through the side. I decided to go for it. I started running faster, heading for the start of the trees, they were thin at first, and then they got thicker, and thicker, and thicker. I could see less and less. I thought about slowing down but I kept pushing, I had to learn to trust my instinct. I ran full pelt through the forest dodging round trees and over branches, not slowing down, just running. I didn’t see any wolves, at the time I was glad, I wouldn’t know what to do if I did. I kept running and running until I saw the trees begin to thin and I know I would be at the school.

The school was on the edge of the forest, I could see it in the distance through the tree’s, I pushed on until I broke out of the dense forest and out onto the road. A few people stopped and stared at me, no one had been in the forest for months, maybe even years, and even then no one came out without being injured, let alone running full pelt without stopping and not being hurt. I just walked through the gates like nothing happened.

“Hey man why you late?” It was Eth
“Oh hey Eth, hey Aid”
“Dude, even I got to school before you, how does that work?” He asked jokily
“I dunno but I got here through the forest”
“Bullshit man, no one goes through the forest”
“I swear I did”
“Explain how you’re not dead then” Aid asked with a hint of sarcasm
“Well I’m talking to you now. That proves I’m not dead?” I joked as we started walking to form.
