Estella Cole~
I stood at the back door of Malachi's room, shocked by how the magic responded to me trying to stop time. I looked over at Asher to see him trying to punch Everest. I still can't believe I agreed to marry this guy. As he was going in for the punch, he stopped dead and cried out as he dropped to the ground. I saw his bones moving throughout his body. Slowly, I watched him turn into the biggest wolf I have ever seen. His chest was three feet wide, he was five feet tall, and six feet long from head to tail. His luxurious fur was black and brown with dangerous-looking red speckles everywhere. It looked like it was blood. I shivered slightly at the beautifully dangerous wolf in front of me. I stared, shocked by what I was seeing. Asher howled in pain and growled at Everest. If he wasn't so close to Everest with murder in his eyes, I would have gone to him to see if he was alright. He nipped at his legs and ran off into the woods. After about ten minutes, I sat out there waiting for Asher to come back; Everest had already gone inside. I sighed and went back inside, unfreezing time, and everything went back to normal.
When I walked farther into the room, the two girls were stuck to Everest's side again, and it made me want to scream or yell at him or just cry for how stupid I am. Instead, I just glared and scoffed as I walked past him to go back to my own dorm. Once I opened my door, I crossed the room and flopped on my bed, crying. 'I don't want to marry Everest, he's a jerk with a horrible facade.'
The next day, I wanted nothing to do with Everest, and I don't know how to talk to Asher at the moment. He turned into a giant freaking wolf. How am I supposed to react to that? I thought I was the only supernatural being, but now my eyes are open to the world, and it is flooded with unique beings. I stayed close to my friends and stayed out of my dorm for the rest of the day. I was tempted to stay over at Cassidy's dorm, but as night fell, I got this urge to check on Asher. So, I told my friends that I would see them the next day.
I walked cautiously to my door, wondering why I was getting an odd feeling from my room. I opened the door to reveal an empty room. I dropped my stuff on my couch and walked into the bathroom and screamed, there was Asher completely naked. I shut my eyes and apologized. "Sorry, sorry!" and ran out of the room and flopped on my bed, wallowing in self-pity. I couldn't get him out of my head; his dark hair was all wet, and his lean, beautiful body was tan and glistening with water from his shower. His agonizingly amused smile made me want to strangle him, though. A few minutes later, he walked out smirking.
"What is so funny?" I glared at him. At my words, he cracked, laughing so hard he bent down holding his knees. I rolled my eyes and stuffed my face into my pillows. When I couldn't hear him laughing anymore, I lifted my head and sighed. "Are you done laughing so I can ask you a question?" He smiled goofily at me when I said that, but didn't laugh again, so I took that as a win.
"Have you heard anything about the headmistress?"
"Yeah," he nodded. "They got her to wake up, but they still don't know who attacked her because she didn't see them; whoever did it came from behind." I deflated a little at his words.
"Okay, well, I'm gonna go see her, is she in her office or the infirmary?"
"Office."
I nodded and went to Mrs. Jade's office. I knocked three times and let myself in. I walked in and saw her alive and well. I let out a sigh of relief. "Hi, how are you doing?" She looked up from her computer and smiled at me.
"I'm alright now. I heard you were the one who found me and got help, so thank you."
~Everest Sharpe~
I feel like there is something wrong with me, but it wouldn't be smart to tell anyone. I've already made a mess of myself because I didn't know she would show up to that stupid party. My mind feels like it's going against me, and I'm angry all the time. I need to get myself under control. Asher is doing better than I am right now, and I can't have that. I walk through the halls of the school trying to clear my head.
