Chapter 13

-Hey, look! It's the white wolf from earlier! Said a voice.

I quickly looked up. I was still on the porch and it was still night, unfortunately. I saw two guys approach the bungalow, it was probably theirs. And I was quickly able to recognize them.

Nathan and Hunter.

Cody wasn't with them, probably because he's in Were right now.

-Do you think he's nice? Said Nathan.

Hey, it's me! Ruby Anderson! Cuckoo !

-I don't know, Hunter replied.

-And if you turned into a wolf, you might know what he's thinking, right?

-It's not a bad idea.

Know what I think? Can he read animals' minds when he changes appearance? I still have a lot to learn about shapeshifters.

Hunter changed into a wolf. A black wolf with yellow eyes. He didn't have the color of eyes like me.

" Hi you "

Was it some kind of animal telepathy?

The black wolf tilted his head to the side. I did the same.

"What brings you here?" »

I think I understand now, Hunter could communicate with animals through thought. I probably could too, I'm a shapeshifter too, but quite a beginner.

Nathan remained silent, watching the scene.

"It's me, Ruby!" »

Hunter, the wolf, widened his eyes.

“But what are you doing in this state? Why don't you go back to yourself? And why are you at our bungalow?”

“Because I am incapable of it!” No matter how much I concentrate, no change! »

-It's Ruby, said Hunter still in his wolf form. She has a little transformation problem.

If only I could talk like he did!

- Hi Ruby! Nathan scoffed.

He fell silent when I bared my fangs at him.

-We'll keep her here for the night and tomorrow morning we'll go see Melissa if the problem isn't resolved yet, Hunter said.

His friend nodded.

We entered the bungalow and I lay down on the small sofa. I was downright exhausted. The two boys went to their respective rooms.

I had trouble sleeping, it wasn't easy to lie down on a sofa in the form of a big wolf. Let's say, a slightly larger than average wolf.

The sun's rays slowly began to wake me up. I prayed that I would be back to my old self, but no. I jumped off the couch and went to scratch at Hunter's door. I wanted to see Melissa, not sleep in like those two.

Then, instead of it being Hunter's bedroom door opening, it was another door. Cody got out. I didn't even hear him come home last night. And he probably hadn't seen me, due to the look he gave me when he looked down at me.

-Shit ! There is a big wolf in the bungalow! he shouted.

Then the other two boys rushed out of their room.

Three handsome shirtless guys... I would have been tomato red if I had been in my initial form.

"Don't panic, it's Ruby," Hunter said calmly.

-And what the hell is she doing in our bungalow, as a wolf!?

-I'll explain later, now I have to go see Melissa to solve her little problem.

Talk about a small problem...

But I wasn't listening to the rest of their conversation. I quietly admired their chocolate bars in turn.

Eventually Hunter and I walked out of the cabin to Melissa's office after he put on a t-shirt.

A few glances turned towards us during our journey. Correction: All eyes were on us.

Hunter ignored them. I did the same.

Once he reached Melissa's office door, Hunter was about to knock on the door, but he stopped himself. We heard shouting from the other side.

-Please calm down! Said Melissa, from the other side of the door.

-How do you expect us to calm down when barely two minutes ago, we witnessed an extraordinary scene! Came a male voice.

-And don't tell us we were hallucinating! We both saw it, said another man's voice.

I looked at Hunter to see if he was going to help Melissa. I saw that he changed the color of his eyes. They went from blue and gold to a forest green. This is another thing he knew how to master.

Then I guessed later that he had done this because the two men were probably two humans and we shouldn't make things worse.

Hunter entered the office, I decided to follow him, but I shouldn't have!

-But what is a wolf doing here! one of them shouted.

Hunter gave me a look that said, "You should have stayed on the other side of the door." Then he changed his tune.

-It's not a wolf, it's my dog, said the latter.

Great, I was a good doggie now. When was he going to throw this ball to me?

-Get this beast out of this office immediately, spat one of the two men.

-Don't worry, he's well trained. Sitting Ruby.

And he's going to hug me afterwards, right?

Once seated, I saw immediately that Melissa had recognized me. Her eyes widened at this remark. I saw that she too had changed the color of her eyes, from orange to human blue.

-Okay, please excuse me, but I don't see anything strange with this camp. So please, I would ask you to leave, said the witch.

The two men got up from their chairs and left the camp. One of them turned to face Melissa just before leaving.

-If I ever witness something abnormal again, I will notify the police.

-Bye ! Melissa exclaimed, completely ignoring him.

Then she turned to us, more precisely to me.

-Why are you here in this form?

I needed Hunter to explain the situation since I couldn't communicate well with them.

-She is no longer able to become herself again, but in my opinion, we just have to wait. She may not be concentrating enough.

-If you were the white wolf last night, can you explain to me how a werewolf emerged from the woods and then ended up in mist!? Melissa got angry.

I didn't think it was going to turn out this way...
