Awkward Wolf History & A Weed

Kathryn

We finally arrived at what we called the Visual Room. As the name implies, this room was used for displaying ‘visuals’. Sometimes, it’s used for watching movies by *cough* some staff *cough cough*.

But we- I and Zak- have decided to use it for today’s lesson. History of Werewolves. As wolves living on Earth, they should probably know it already but we’re covering it again with some new information they aren’t aware of.

‘’Okay, everyone take a seat. Kathryn is handling this lesson. I didn’t listen when we were being taught this.’’

‘’Oh, why didn’t you listen Zak?’’

‘’None of your business, Will. I think you need to start calling me Senior.’’

‘’Umm, Zak, shouldn’t you be helping Kat set up the projector and stuff? It looks heavy.’’

‘’I’ll help her, don’t worry.’’

‘’Yeah Will, help her while I get comfy.’’

Zak and Jasmine got comfortable on the plush seats while Will and I set up-well mostly Will-. I just plugged in the projector. When we were done, it was time for me to establish some ground rules.

‘’Now that everything is settled, there is a rule I would love for you to follow. Please. if you wanna ask a question, raise your hand.’’

Zak’s hand sprung up. ‘’Am I to obey this rule? I mean, I’m one of the teachers too.’’

‘’If you wanna stay in here, you gotta follow the rule. It’s as simple as that.’’

‘’I guess we can do that.’’

‘’Sure.’’

‘’Ok. Let us begin. Now, in the year 2020, Valei stuck out his head like an idiot and all of a sudden started killing both werewolves and humans. Most people don’t know this fact but werewolves used to be the guardians of humans before the Carnage War. After the war, most wolves who already had families on earth had to go into hiding.’’

‘’Um, Kat?’’

‘’Yes, Jaz? Is there a problem?’’

‘’My hand has been up for some time now.’’

‘’Oh, I’m sorry. What’s your question?’’

It was dark and the only light we had was the light from the screen so I couldn’t see her hand.

‘’What’s the ‘Carnage War’?’’

‘’Ah, well the ‘Carnage War’ is the war Valei started when he, you know, went feral.’’

‘’Ah, I get it now. You can continue.’’

I stood in front of the screen once more before speaking again. I just hope we can cover this in one day. One day for one lesson so this was going to span a full week.

‘’Um, so due to Celestia’s help, the remaining wolves that survived the war obtained a new home in a different realm.’’

‘’Ahem.’’ This time it was Will who had a question. ‘’Who’s Celestia?’’

Tough question. Why? ‘Cause, no one knows who or how Celestia is. After the war, many people described her in diverse ways.

Some said she was like an angel with light shining around her beautiful face. Others argued that she looked like a human with distinct wolf features-that is wolf ears, fangs, and a tail.

The latter was the view of the wolves and they were right. The humans couldn’t see her true form and so she looked sort of like an angel to them when in truth, she was in a wolf’s form during the half-moon.

But, there was one way to answer that question. ‘’Simple. She’s the Supreme Alpha of the Wolves.’’

‘’If she’s our Supreme Alpha, then why isn’t she here? Instead, she left us here to suffer.’’

I couldn’t see Will’s face, but with the way his voice cracked, I knew exactly how he felt. She was supposed to be the leader of our pack. Protect us from danger. But, she wasn’t here and that was the hard truth.

‘’Will! How could you say that?!’’

‘’Jaz, it’s fine. Zak, you can handle this, right?’’

Of course, he can handle it. It’s Zak. Besides, it’s a man-to-man convo. Not that I see Zak as a man anyway.

‘’Okay Will, I will need you to calm down and stop acting like an idiot, okay?’’

‘’How is that supposed to calm him down?!’’

‘’Trust the process, Jaz.’’

It’s true. Zak may be annoying but he does know how to get people to chill. Annoyingly and weirdly.

‘’You do know that getting angry over this won’t fix anything, right?’’

Will kept quiet. I’m guessing that gave him something to think about.

‘’Not saying anything?’’

‘’Y-you’re right…. I shouldn’t have reacted that way.’’

‘’It’s okay, Will. Don’t beat yourself up about it. You’re a person with feelings too, you know.’’

I was right though. He didn’t have to beat himself up just because he’s a person. We still have to continue the lesson though.

‘’Thanks, Kat. You’re really nice.’’

‘’She’s really nice? Puh-lease stop lying to her.’’

And the weed has entered the building. Don’t even have high expectations for her ‘cause she is complete trash.

I turned towards the eyesore that had entered the room. ‘’And you’re nice?’’

She walked past me and stood in front of Will, an idiotic smile on her face. ‘’Hi, hottie. What’s your name? I’m Mabel.’’

Did she just ignore me? Not that I’m complaining but, she just went after Will and it will not be good for him if he associates with someone like her. I’m sure Will can handle himself so I don’t need to interfere.

‘’Did you just indirectly say that Kat isn’t nice?’’

Veins popped out of Mabel’s head and I’m guessing she was holding herself back before she did something she would regret. ‘’You didn’t answer my question.’’

‘’And you didn’t answer mine. Do you have a problem with Kat? If so, I don’t think I can associate with you.’’

Wow. Seeing Will like this was weird. But we just met each other today so why is he being like this? I guess he just doesn’t like rude people. Ha, serves you right Mabel.

‘’Hey, Kathryn, did you possess him or what? Why is he defending you like this, huh?!’’

The look she gave me would probably give a normal person chills but I’m not a normal person. I gave her a look that said ‘Do I look like I have time for your shit?’.

‘’But Mabel, How would she possess him? She’s not a vampire.’’

I turned to see who had graciously saved me. Sarcasm intended. I could handle the weed by myself. Whoever came to steal my show, I woul-

‘’Henry?!’’
