It started when I was first born around 2001 I’m 16 now so you can guess the year my mom was the protector before me but now it was passed on to me I didn’t ask to be like this it just happened the day I was born mom said it was a miracle but to me and my family it was just the beginning of a nightmare. The second was Alex brown haired blue eyed Alex he was sweet when he wasn’t in an angry mood, I thought of him as the changer he can change his attitude just like that. About a year later Grace came along we call her the pig she eats a lot to be honest she could literally eat a giant on her cravings. Then last but certainly not least theres Chris the shy one he came along 3 years after her birth he could imitate anything but he chose not to. Now to my parents Tyra Strength Galaxy don’t get her fooled she looks weak but she’s stronger than anyone you would know then we have Darren Galaxy he is the second strongest in this family maybe third once I test against him. I go to 2 different schools Tea Area High School and Wolf Human High I go to Tea first then on the weekends it’s off to Wolf Human High we never get away from school I can’t even have sleepovers with my friend Kelsie she would complain that she got much attention and I had barely and I needed to get noticed but I wasn’t up for it. We have one big dog thats a Saint Bernard he doesn’t look like one though he has a wolf muzzle and he’s mixed with 10 breeds of dogs and he’s about my shoulder length in height I’m about 5’8 one big dog right? “Syrianna time to go to school!” now it’s time for the worst possible place to be when you’re a wolf human, Human high school “Syrianna I heard someone wants to go out with you his name is Mark and Aaron.” that was my friend Kelsie “Yeah great I don’t really like that fact I don’t want a boyfriend.” I told her many times “Who are you looking for?” she asked I was looking around the cafeteria looking for supernatural things “Something hey Mark!” I screamed running up to him “Hey Syrianna.” he smiled “Hey um I was wondering if….” he interrupted me “I need to speak with you alone.” he whispered in my ear “I was going to say the same thing lets go.” me and Mark are the same but different personalities he doesn’t like talking to me because he’s popular and I’m the lowest of the rank in high school “Ok I heard about the them they ceased the attack but only for a short amount of time I can’t believe they would do that though they are always going to be after you and your family or the protectors you gotta leave.” “Yeah I know but my mom doesn’t want to flee she thinks that we should fight so we aren’t leaving but thanks for the warning.” I left the place in anger “Wait theres one more thing watch your back okay we can’t lose or beautiful protector.” I kept on walking thinking about what Mark had said but that distracted me so much that I got in trouble “Syrianna?” I wasn’t paying attention “Syrianna!” I looked at Mr. Fall “Yes sir?” I asked “If you were paying attention you would know that I asked you to tell me about the civil war go to the office NOW!” he screamed at me “Yes sir.” “What no back talk?” was he asking for it “Not today.” I walked out of the class to the office “Galaxy!” Mr. Fall called “Yes?” I turned around to face him “Is there something wrong?” “No sir I better get going.” I started walking when “Ah!” I heard someone screaming “Galaxy get in the classroom now!” he screamed “I’m I can’t!” I ran towards the source “Well look who we have here it’s the protector all alone without her mother I wonder what would happen if we destroyed you?” he looked over at his friends they were over a body of “Kelsie!” I fell down to the ground in tears “How could you do this? What did she do to you?!” My eyes were full of tears “Syrianna get back!” It was my mother “Mom Kelsie.” she looked over at my friend and sighed “We can’t save her.” “NO!” I ran inside away from the fight only to be followed “We aren’t here to make friends Syrianna we want you on our side and we’ll have our way sooner or later.” they ran over to me and grabbed my neck “Let go of me please.” I said gagging “Never.” he threw me against the wall “Leave her alone.” it was Mark he was coming to my rescue “Mark no you can’t they’re Extremist!” I screamed at him “And I’m saving you run.” I ran as fast as I could to escape but they were closing in the only thing left to do was fight but I couldn’t do it by myself “Syrianna think of fire!” I couldn’t think I had to escape. I got outside again and my mom was there waiting “We need to get out of here.”  she said “We can’t leave Mark we need to grab the rest of our family!” I screamed at her “Already done.” she said “Where’s Saint?” I asked “Behind you.” I turned behind me and a giant came and tackled me “Saint you silly dog.” I said laughing “Hurry we need to go now!” my mom said again “Ok lets get moving.” we were now on our next town Jacksonville “It’s going to be really hard to get into another school and wolf school now mom if we weren’t the protectors we wouldn’t have to deal with this you hear!” she just ignored me “My friend died back there how could you let this happen again first Lindsay, then Katrina, and now Kelsie do you even care anymore?” I asked “We can’t have anyone expose our secret you know that darling.” “I’m not sure I want to be apart of this anymore.” I said heading into our new house “I’m sorry Syrianna but I can’t risk every wolf human’s lives just so you can have a friend that might expose our secret that’s not how I work and you know that we’ve had this talk so many times I think you should know by now go find a school.” she said I walked out of the house and walked around for a bit “Hi I’ve never seen you around here before what’s your name?” a girl about my age asked me “Syrianna why?” I asked her “I’m Jazz are you looking for something?” she asked me “Yeah a new school I heard theres tons around this area.” “Yeah you should totally go for my school it has everything a public school needs.” “Do you have any private schools?” I asked Jazz “No not really.” “I guess I could try a public school what’s it called?” I asked “Edison High just around the corner you’ll love it there hey what’s you number?” she asked me I wrote it down on a piece of paper and she ran off “Well I made a friend I’m gonna lose hopefully her parents don’t care.” I kept walking around when “Oof.” Saint barged in “Saint!” I said grabbing his leash “You aren’t allowed to roam around and you know that naughty.” I started walking him when “Hey what are you doing in my territory!” someone screamed at me “I didn’t know it was taken!” I screamed “Well you should have never entered this area it’s for Pandas only.” I started laughing at the name “Pandas you call yourself the Pandas ha ha ha you’re fuzzy little creatures and cute too aww you mad gonna eat some bamboo.” I said insulting him “Listen kid I would get outta here you lucky I ain’t killed you yet.” “I would be careful I have a dog with me.” I said “And what’s that dog gonna do lick me.” “You aren’t very smart did you see his size?” I asked him “The bigger ones are easier to kill.” he said “Attack!” he screamed “Ahh!” Saint barged in on the attack everyone tried to kill the dog first but couldn’t get ahold of him “Got ya.” someone grabbed onto me I didn’t know what to do “Woof, Woof!” Saint barked “Help me please!” I screamed no one came I got thrown to the ground and didn’t bother get up “Please leave us alone.” “I’m taking the dog.” “No!!! He’s mine!” I screamed at him Saint came over and bit his leg “Ahhhhhhhhh!” the man screamed “Get this beast away from me!” “Saint heel!” he stopped biting his leg and went over to my side. By that time the police came “Are you okay?” they asked me “Yeah I’m fine.” we headed down to the station where my mom came and picked me up “You were ambushed by what gang members.” I nodded “And you didn’t get Saint to attack?” she was mad “Mom people were tugging on his leash 15 of them after I screamed he fought them he’s the reason I’m not hurt the guy said he was going to take him but he bit him and he’s mine forever mom I’m okay it wasn’t an extremist.” she came over to my side and gave me a hug “Listen darling I know you aren’t the best fighter but you tried I respect that but I think it’s time to where I let you go to school Wolf Human High instead of me teaching you myself now get some rest we have to do stuff tomorrow.” I got my blankets and Saint who takes about half the bed or more and went to sleep even though I kept getting kicked and other stuff. But it’s my life and now you know me very little though.

It was morning and my mom wanted me to get nice clothes on which is kinda hard when the only thing you have to wear is black and other colors but they’re dark. “Are you ready?” she asked me “Yeah mom I’m ready.” I walked down the steps and went to the car “What school was it again?” she asked “Edison High.” we drove out of our driveway and headed into town “I know you miss your friend but I promise you’ll make a new one here.” “And watch her die like the rest of them no that’s why I don’t date anymore and I try not to make friends I’ve lost a lot of friends in my past and I don’t need to lose anymore.” the subject changed after I screamed at my mom she wasn’t always happy when I screamed at her but at least I know that I won the argument. “We are here and don’t talk back and insult him thats the worst way to let them in your school.” I just ignored her “You better be listening or I’ll get Saint.” that was the worst threat ever “Saint never listens to you mom he listens to me and he protects me so you really should have thought of that and I thought you were aware of your surroundings and have a wonderful memory.” I said to my mother “I was saying that to get your attention.” we walking into the building where the principal greeted us “Hello and you must be Syrianna Galaxy I presume.” he said in a very deep voice “Yes and I’m from the 1960s am I right here.” he glared at me “We do not take back talk here young lady!” “Yeah and I don’t take tests.” he took us to his office and told us to take a seat “So I have some rules and you’ll be listening no comments until I ask.” “Since when was this a private school?” I asked laughing “Young lady this is not a laughing matter!” he yelled “Yeah it is.” I said “Does she always do this?” he asked my mother “Yes I’m sorry sir Syrianna what did I tell you in the car?” “You said you better pay attention.” “And,” “That’s all mom you didn’t say anything else.” she rolled her eyes like she always does when she figures out that I didn’t listen to her “I’m very sorry she won’t disrupt the classes and other stuff I’ll make sure of it Syrianna apologize right now.” she told me “You wanna know what I won’t because my friend is dead and you won’t let me do anything about it we just pick up and leave when someone dies in our town and never heard from again.” I said. I walked out of the room and waited for my mom “You got in on one condition don’t back talk they won’t hesitate to throw you out so don’t get any ideas might as well start school right now I’ll see you after school okay?” I walked to my first class which was English and I wasn’t excited but at least I was in school “Welcome your name is Syrianna correct?” the teacher asked me “In the flesh.” I said taking a seat wherever I could find one “Are you familiar with this town?” the teacher asked “If I was familiar I would have gone to this school been around here on vacation and other stuff since I don’t know any of you why don’t you introduce yourself.” I said snotty “Wow snob alert.” some dude said in the back “Look who’s talking am I right?” I said “No I ain’t snobby unlike you.” the class was like “Oh you just got burned.” “If I got burned that would have to be a good little insult but since it was so little I think I’m gonna say that was terrible and as your little brother Ryan am I right?” his face was in shock “How did you know his name and I had one?” he asked me “I have my ways.” I laughed at the end “Stalker.”he said “I heard that you little sicko I don’t ask people out 24/7 I get asked out take that.” I turned to face the front when he threw a spitball at me “You shouldn’t have done that.” I ran back there and grabbed his throat “Now be a good little boy and leave me alone.” I dropped him on the ground and went back to my seat “Go to the principal’s office now!” the teacher screamed “You know I would but he won’t like seeing me and I think he died you will too the way I can die is walking up you ego and dropping down from your IQ level.” “Syrianna knock it off!” the teacher screamed “What?” “I can explain it to you but I can’t understand it for ya.” I said “Does anyone have a comeback I don’t have one I ain’t a joke.” “Is that why your mom had you?” his face was mad full of anger which I could tell he was mad because I brought his mom in this “You don’t ever bring my mom into this!” he screamed at me “Yeah as soon as you find your brain.” I said to him “I have a brain.” “Where at the bottom of the abyss?” the bell rang and we got out of this class “Time for social studies.” I walked to the social studies room and my friend that I met on the sidewalk was there “Syrianna it’s so good to see you!” she shouted excitedly “Yeah well I’m not excited to be here thank you I want out of this school.” I went to a desk and sat in it “You’re in my seat.” It was the guy from English “Oh it’s the guy with the worst IQ in history hows it going?” I asked “Terrible get out of my seat!” “You know I would but I got here first and I think you need to turn around.” he turned around and I kicked him to the other part of the room. “That hurt.” “As bad as your mother hurt when she found out that you were born with stupidity?” he walked over to me and stood me up “I said out of my seat so you get out!” “Sorry but I’m gonna pull a Rosa Parks.” I sat back down and put my feet on the seat “Everyone find a seat!” the Teacher yelled “I’ll sit down once the bell rings.” I said “You’re already sitting down.” the guy said “I don’t want to get up or you’ll get the seat.” “Can you at least move over a little so I can pass through?” he asked me “Nope sorry.” I just sat here watching him get mad. By this time the bell had rang and about 3 people were late “Mr. Lacard sit in your seat!” the teacher yelled at him “I can’t she’s in it.” “In on a mission.” I said “To steal my desk?” “Nope to make people's life miserable.” “That don’t help.” “Get out of his seat he’s stingy when someone is in his seat.” “Yeah I can tell thats why I’m doing this.” I said to the teacher “You must be Syrianna.” “Do I look like I’ve been here before.” “No.” “No.” I copied back “Why you gotta be so rude.” “Don’t ya know I’m human too I’m gonna marry her anyway.” the guy gave me a weird look “What you started saying that and I sang the rest of the song by the way I don’t like you just saying that so you know.” I got up and went to a different seat. “Today we are going to start with reading our books and working on our lesson presentation.” the teacher said “I’m new here so I don’t know what you talking about.” “Need some grammar lessons?” a dude in my class asked “No but you need to climb up your ego and eat it.” he took that as an insult which he was suppose to do but took it the wrong way. “You better take that back!” he said grabbing my throat “You wanna know what no I won’t ya wanna know why?” I said while I was choking “Why?” “Because of this.” I grabbed his arm and ripped it away from my neck and threw him to the ground “That’s wolf human combat how would I know we hunted them for about 3 years.” the teacher said “Well we continue to hunt them we use their little combat to injury them cool Idea right?” I asked “That’s a marvelous idea I’ll tell the president.” I think I just put all wolf humans in danger but no matter they won’t ever find a way to kill me the protector I hope “Yay I have to go now mom had an appointment for me today.” I left the classroom and went straight home “Mom!” I screamed “What are you doing here early?” she asked “I think I accidentally put the wolf humans in danger.” “What do you mean?” “I used wolf human combat and the teacher noticed and I used this excuse ‘Yeah I know I’m killing them too the best way is to learn their combat skills and use it against them.’’ and he said he would tell the president I don’t know what to do mom I screwed up badly.” “Don’t worry darling we are amongst the humans no one can tell us apart.” “Yes but I’m to blame if they try and destroy us.” “You’re fine Syrianna.” “We’ll tell the counsel.”

“What do you mean she can’t be the protector anymore you can’t control the bloodline even if you tried you couldn’t.” my mother screamed “She has put us in danger!” “We are hidden between the humans they can’t tell who is who she didn’t say any of that when we use to have our tails, ears, yellow irises I mean eyes by the way, teeth, and the claws that was the only way that they could tell us apart but when we look like a human we don’t look like a wolf human now do we?” “No but they know how to tell us apart without those stuff.” “How?” “We have cravings on full moons and we have sharper teeth in wolf and human form they made sure they could tell us apart.” “So what can’t we trim them I know that sounds stupid but she was trying to keep it a secret until he mentioned wolf humans I think they’re learning about them in school.” “So what if they are and aren’t she is not welcome in this counsel and every other place that has wolf humans!” “I will not take no for an answer and you know that!” “You have one month to get rid of her and that is final!” I could hear my mother crawling down her face “You can’t do that, you, you, you monsters!” she ran out crying “Mom what happened?” I asked her “You can’t go wolf human high anymore even though you never started.” I walked into the counsel’s office “What have you done to make this happen she is crying out there what did you do?” “You won’t live long enough to find out.” “What is that suppose to mean no, no, no you can’t.” “We just did.” I ran out of the office and grabbed the nearest chair “I wouldn’t do that if I were you.” I turned around and saw someone “Who are you?” “Funny you ask I’m Derek a fellow wolf human a you a beauty are what ahh I see you are Syrianna.” “Yeah so what.” “You can’t wait to change your name right?” “Yeah it’s going to be my bloodline name Galaxy.” “Nice mines going to be Jarub.” He said with a grin on his face “That’s cool I get to change mine tomorrow.” I walked out of the place and was about to throw the chair across the whole entire forest when “Throw it and we’ll tranquilize!” it was the government “You can’t harm me I was just going for a nature walk and this is my mansion so get off my property!” I screamed. I ran inside and screamed “The government is here get into your hiding places!” I screamed my mom acted as if she was just getting ready to cook and Derek pretended to be my brother “Oh sister why are you screaming is someone on our lawn again.” he said “Yes they are get them out of here call the cops.” they barged right on in “Excuse me mom when is supper going to be done?” “Don’t play the fool girl we know that you were caught using wolf human combat and we need your help to defeat them.” “I can’t I’m really sorry but I go solo sorry.” I left the house “We’ll take your family.” “I don’t do threats plus the only family I have is my mom and you’ll never find her.” “Who are these people?” “They are actresses I saw this coming what person wouldn’t the government would anything to get someone to help them I’ve seen it happen before.” “Ok we were going to pay you.” “Not working it will never work.” “Fine we won’t stop asking.” “We might as well take the actresses back where they came.” “They live here.” I said “Oh well bye.” I walked out of the house and headed home I made sure that it was the short cut because I knew they were following me. “Well I guess mom isn’t home better go into my room.” I ran down the corridor and slip into the wall that had a slit crack that was easy to get through especially when it can open “Where’d  she go?” one of the men asked “I don’t know but we’ve got to find her she’s the only way that we can find her family and get her help.” I made this happen and I’m going to do everything that will keep the others from finding out “Wait until tomorrow she’ll show up at school hopefully that works.” I headed farther down the entry way that I came into and headed back through the woods “That was amazing!” my mother and Derek screamed “Cool now you go to school and I’ll go to my school or it can be our school.” Derek said “Yeah no unless you want to go to my school Edison High all you have to do is not be in wolf human form.” he nodded and went home “What was that about that happened in the counsel?” I asked my mom “They want me to kill you but you are allowed to still change your name with your brothers and sister.” “No they can’t stop the bloodline even if they tried thats impossible!” I screamed “That’s why I don’t want to do it but I have to or else they’ll get the rest of the wolf humans.” “Wait what if I talk to the counsel about me faking my death to the humans and stay a wolf human the rest of my life would that work?” “No you have to attend a human school all wolf human protectors had to.” “Ok fine but I’m not going back to that school I’m switching and I know where.”
We got back home and saw that my brothers and sister were there too “The wolf counsel called and we have to make sure that you go through with the death.” “We won’t do it.” “No we’ll have to do it ourselves.” “Nope because you ain’t stronger than any of us.” “Yeah that’s right.” my dad chimed in “You’re with us?” I asked “Yeah I ain’t being with a bunch of Extremist.” “Wait you gave yourselves to them?” I asked “It was the only way to be the strongest don’t worry we’ll destroy the human race without you and say that you were a part of it.” “How could you, you’re the protectors kids I am too but I’m the protector.” “We’re having our little coronation tomorrow after you have yours and your execution.” “You lowered it?” “I might have made the counsel mad.” “Syrianna!” “What don’t be mad I’ll be on the run from them don’t worry I’ll be one the run from both of the people by the way I can’t go to school tomorrow because the government will be there.” “Great we have to protect you from 2 things.” “Yeah sorry about that.” “We have to go one we need to get you ready for tomorrow and for your execution.”
The day had came and I was in front of everybody so was my siblings “Grace, Alex, and Chris come up to the stage and pick your new names.” the speaker called to them “I Alex decide to keep my first name and take the last name of Galaxy.” “I Grace decide to change my name to Nala my last name shall be StrengtheningWolf.” “You can’t change your name!” I screamed “Shut up Syrianna they get to pick!” “I Chris decide to keep my first name and change my last name to Galaxy!” at least my brothers had the name still “Syrianna get up here and choose your name!” “I Syrianna the protector of all decide to keep my first and change my last name to Clues!” “What Syrianna the protector have always kept their names.” “I am not the protector anymore.” “What!” the crowd screamed. The counsel brought out the orb of powers “Come forth.” they said “I will.” I stepped forward and used my powers “Escape.” I ran out the door with guards and my family after me Derek stayed behind to keep them from finding me they knew that he knew me and about the plan but it was better if he stayed behind and tell him the fake places “Okay where to first?” I asked my mom “South Dakota Tea Middle school.” “What!” “Yeah I know it’s not like Tea high school where you learned where tea the drink came from.” “Well it better not I can’t stand to think about how to hold a tea handle in FACS ever again man that was annoying.” “Yeah it might take about an hour to get there since we are sprinting.” “Then lets sprint faster.”
We arrived about an hour later “Welcome to Tea.” a woman said to us “Thanks wheres the Middle School?” I asked “Just down the street.” she gave a smile and I walked down there “Mom we don’t have to do this.” “I’m keeping you alive and with your powers even though you can’t get them taken away and you can’t die.” “That’s nice.” “Now no insults at all you got that.” “Yes mom.” “Good.”

“Hello how can I help you?” I man walked up to us “Yeah I was hoping if my daughter could join your school?” “Yeah that’s fine just let me show me you around and give you the papers how old is she?” “16.” “So 10th grade?” my mom nodded her head “Ok first here is English/Reading Mrs. Denali and Mrs. Richards.” he kept blabbing on and on but I didn’t care all I was thinking about was getting away from my old town and from the wolf humans “So you can start next week all you have to do is have her stuff transferred to this school and you’re free to go.” “Thank you for everything.” we left the school with the papers “We’re going to have to take the ones from Orlando, Florida lets find a house.” We found a one story grey house it was magnificent but I had to ride the bus “Hello I’m John how are you new here?” “Yeah I’m new where do I sit?” I asked “Anywhere there is an extra seat.” “Thanks that so helpful.” I said in a sarcastic tone. “What’s your name?” a girl asked me “Syrianna why?” “I’m Emmy wanna be friends heres my number and address.” I took the number and address. 5 minutes later I arrived at school and about 3 people greeted me “Hi.” they all said “Hi I’m Syrianna.” “I’m Jessica this is Anna, and Phoebe we call them the twins because they are so alike Melissa's around here somewhere you could meet her.” “Sure where is she?” “Hey Jessica she’s with her boyfriend.” we ran over to her side and she was there “You said at 8 I’ll even show you the stupid text!” she showed him her phone and thats when all hell broke loose “Yeah then I called you, you picked up and I said 9:10 you didn’t meet me there so we are through!” “Jessica help me out here!” “How about I do?” I asked “Who are you?” “Another pretty girl that I’m gonna ask out.” “You jerk you’re just like the rest!” she ran away “Wow drama queen.” “Yeah you haven’t met her she’s actually really sweet and protective.” “That’s cool I wanna try and help her calm down.” “In the bathroom.” I walked to the bathroom and saw her on the ground “You’re not crying that’s a first time I’ve ever seen someone like that.” “Yeah and it’s the first time I’ve ever seen another wolf human in another territory especially one that’s suppose to be dead but don’t worry I won’t tell anybody trust me.” “So what was that big fight about?’ I asked “He was cheating on me and I caught him too I checked his phone and he sent Kennedy a text and me a text about going on a date but I found out that he was a cheater.” “That’s terrible.” “Yeah I know right what classes do you have?” Melissa asked me “English Mrs. Sinister, Social Studies, Math, Study Hall Mrs. Nala, then Band/ ASL-A, P.E./Health, then Reading Mrs. Nala, then I have Science.” “You’re the one that rides Yellow bus aren’t you John is it?” “Yeah how’d ya know?” “I ride the same bus and I have the same classes.” “Cool you can show me around then.” “But first meet my friend Destiny she’s really nice and funny didn’t forget awesome.” “That’s cool I got my chromebook about 3 years ago.” “That’s nice I got at the beginning of the school year.” “Nice oh no the bell just rang we better get to class.” we ran down the hall to get to our first class “Hello everyone we have a new student today her name is Syrianna Galaxy.” “By the way theres another wolf human here his broken just saying he won’t harm you either he broke it himself he’ll keep your secret his name is Jack.” Melissa whispered to me “Cool.” “Ok we are going to be working on our presentations so everyone take out or chromebooks except Syrianna you don’t have to do it.” “Thanks.”
After that class period ended we went to Social Studies and met Mr. Brooks “Today we are going to talk about the wolf human hunt open your books to 296 please.” when I opened my book I screamed “What is it.” “Nothing.” it was a picture of my grandmother in her teen years getting taken away “How is this?” I asked even though I knew her very well “Serena Galaxy mother of Tyra Strength Galaxy.” good thing I changed my last name to Clues. “Oh ok then.” it was me the first one to read the heading “In early 1800s the wolf humans have caused a huge threat to the, the human populations which lead us to destroy them.” I had tears going down my eyes “Many of the following captures were Serena Galaxy aka the Protector, Blake Williams, Francine Rights, and Natalie Rich these people were killed in 1890 they don’t age past 20 and get married at 15.” so I’m allowed to get married nice “The only one that escaped was Serena Galaxy.” “Thank you I think you're reading too.” I didn’t I just didn’t want to read it “Yes sir.” “Next Melissa.” “During these times the wolf humans have been in hiding Hitler wanted to try and find them and thought they were jews but he was wrong. Wolf humans can sense danger and aren’t easily scared they are also very fast and they still today are in hiding we hope that one day we’ll find them.” “Good job Melissa now pop quiz who is Serena Galaxy’s children?” the teacher asked “Maple, Grace, Chance, and Melody?” “Nope how about Syrianna your hands up.” “Tyra Strength Galaxy, Glendale, Faith, Remix, Flight wing, Marida, Melody, Daria, Grace, Scott, Andrew, and Hazel.” he was impressed “Wow no one has guessed all 12 of her children it’s like your family “No just a guess.” I said weirdly “Yeah you could be a wolf human.” “Nope none here ha ha.” I raised my hand “Can I use the restroom and can someone show me where they are?” “Yeah Melissa show her where they are.” we walked out of the room and shut the door “That was amazing it’s like you’re related to her even though you are but they don’t know that.” “Listen I know  that it’s been hard for you here going to a new school leaving your family behind but I promise nothing bad's going to happen.” Melissa assured me “Yeah I know but I still haven’t gotten the chance to get to know the place.” “Hey head to my place after school we’ll say that your moms not home she wouldn’t worry right?” “Yeah she wouldn’t but I have to tell her first.” “Ok do that fast.” I grabbed my phone and texted her “Girls get back in class.” “Yes Mrs. Sinister.” we went back into our class and the bell rang.
It was time for 6th period and we had to go into the weight room. “I hate this I hate running.” “I heard this song about the U.S.A and it went like this I think the writer is Lee Greenwood but here are the lyrics If tomorrow all the things were gone I worked for all my life and I had to start again with just my children and my wife thank my lucky stars to be living here today cause the flag still stands for freedom and they can’t take that away And I’m proud to be an american where at least I know I’m free and I won’t forget the men who died who gave that right to me and I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land god bless the U.S.A.” “You want to know something Syrianna we can use that against the government it because we live in america and when it says the flag still stands for freedom its showing that they aren’t really giving americans freedom.” “You’re right they can’t we have to prove them that it’s wrong for them to treat us the way that they do.” we got into the gym and everyone sat in a spot on the ground “Name.” “Syrianna Clues.” I said he put me in a spot right next to this one dude that looked mean “Ok everyone we are going to the weight room today so fill out 3 lifts of you will not get credit.” Sounds reasonable I mean you’ll get stronger. There was this smaller kid in the class that everyone made fun of “Hi what’s your name?” a guy asked me “Syrianna Clues why?” “Just wondering I never seen you around here.” “Yeah cool.” I walked to the treadmills and Melissa was right next to me “The smaller dude thats the other wolf human I told you about.” “Ha that little weirdo I don’t believe that for a second.” “Well you should because it’s true.” I went over to him and asked him this “Were you a wolf human?” “Yeah I was why?” “Oh nice not you puny little thing I don’t believe it were you turned.” he nodded his head “By who?” “Melissa.” “Ha ha like she would turn you!” “It’s true.” “Why would you turn him?” “People were making fun of him so I thought if he was faster could see farther and  other wolf human things they would stop making fun of him I was made fun of for a bit.” “Yeah ok don’t you make fun of him.” “I think it’s wrong but on occasions I do.” “This is one of those occasions.” we were both laughing at him now. “We need to go home after this got that.” Melissa whispered in my ear “Mr. German?” “Yes.” “Can we go to the bathroom?” we asked “Sure whatever.” we ran down the hall to the bathroom and changed into our regular clothes and ran out the doors “Ok wheres your house Melissa?” I asked her. “Right over there.” she said without any doubt we went in the house that looked like no one lived in it “Are you sure this is your house?” “Yeah I’m sure why?” “It doesn’t look lived in.” “Yeah I know I had to make it like that people would have gotten suspicious when they were hunting for deer.” “Nice so what’s the plan?” “I’m thinking that if we go and find the song you sang that you were trying to remember the title of which is God bless the U.S.A by the way we could tell the president that doing this to wolf humans is wrong.” “That’s a good plan why aren’t you the protector.” “It’s not in my line of blood that’s why.” “Well then you’re in my pack now we just need one more.” “Am I interrupting something?” someone asked “Rhydian you scared me.” “Sorry but seriously am I?” “Yeah were working on a plan to stop the attacks on wolf humans.” “That’s nice really nice but one thing they won’t stop whatever plan you have.” “You know that song God bless the U.S.A if the president listens to that he’ll know what he’s been doing to us was wrong.” “I’m sorry but you weren’t the first to come up with that it was Serena Galaxy I’m so sorry Melissa but it would never work out.” “Ok new plan which Syrianna you’re going to think about it okay.” the guy looked surprised “The one that’s suppose to be dead?” “The one that can’t be dead you mean I’m the protector they can try but they can’t do it.” I said “That explains it.” “Explain what?” “Why I recognize you from wolf weekly.” “Oh that’s still going on?” “Yeah in South Dakota not anywhere else.” “That explains it okay back to the plan.” I said “Yeah ok.” Rhydian said “I have one.” Rhydian called out “What.” “What if we play a prank on them?” “You’re friends with him?” I asked Melissa “Yep how about this….” “Syrianna I’m here to take you back joking.” I turned around “How did you find me?” “I asked your mom where you were and you told me where you were going first remember?” “Oh yeah did you change your name?” “No that hasn’t happened yet.” “Well we’re working on a plan right now wanna help?” “Sure.”

It was around 1 a.m when someone finally came up with a plan “What if we take all the wolf humans and start a riot then we’ll take some humans and have them riot with us wouldn’t that be awesome?” “No because we don’t have any human friends to help us out.” “What about the Familiaris they were human and they can tell the president that keeping the wolf humans out of human society is wrong because we are americans too and that flag should stand for everyone not just the humans we deserve some respect for centuries and millions of years we have protected humans and this is what they give us we are in the army we are cops we are basically everything that you don’t think we are so shape up and treat us with respect or we’ll stop our services.” “Wow you must be really angry I don’t think It’ll work though.” “Yeah but if we do get it to work then can I lead the thing.” “Sure then I can blame you for getting me locked up by the government I don’t need any of it you got that?” “You won’t get kidnapped I promise.” “Yeah you promise then it won’t happen.” “Geez someone’s in the mood to fight.” “I am not Derek I just don’t want to put more wolf humans in danger you know how hard it is to keep a secret when all you can do to help them is make sure they’re safe when you know you won’t be safe yourself you’re basically putting yourself in danger for other wolf humans that’s why my mom made that law where we hid amongst the humans until we think that the coast is clear but in Science, Social Studies and possibly other school subjects they teach them about us I just, I just….” I left the little den and ran far enough then I climbed a tree to try and calm myself down. “Hey I know how you feel yet don’t but you are the protector you were meant to do this.” “Yeah right the only I was meant to do is mess things up.” “So you learn from them right when you said something about wolf human combat you put the wolf humans in danger what are you doing now making sure that you don’t put them in more danger right?” “Yeah but what does that have to do with anything?” “It proves that you have what it takes not what other people say I don’t really know what I’m saying but okay why did you run I wasn’t paying attention oh wait okay it shows that you will do anything to help others even if you were banned if you think it’s right then you go ahead and do it that’s what makes you special.” “You really mean it?” “Yeah if you want proof I’ll tell you something that you might not know.” “What?” “I’ve liked you when I first saw you at the counsel I saw you stand up to the counsel for hurting you mothers feelings that takes a lot of courage I mean I wouldn’t have done that to be honest I’m afraid of them.” “That’s cool.” “I like how you just stay normal now me I would just start having what normal drama queen like girls would do.” “That’s cool.” “That gets annoying sometimes you know that right?” “That’s cool.” “Ok you can stop.” “Ok.” I stopped talking to Derek and started climbing down the tree. We headed back for the den by the time we got there everyone was gone “What happened here?” it looked like there was a struggle here “I think they found some wolf humans and I’m talking about the government they are everywhere.” “Yeah I know they must have known that I left Tennessee.” “I don’t think so the government have been there for about 3 days look a TV turn it on lets see if theres anything on the guys.” I went over to the TV and turned it on to the news “Today 2 wolf humans were found in a shed or what they call it a den and taken into custody we’ve asked them their names and they claimed that they didn’t have any tomorrow the government are going to search them in their database and see who they are.” “So now we know the government has them.” “And looks like they’re coming back to check on the property!” hurry grab the radio that’s going to be a way to get out of here and to know what’s going on at all times.” “Ok lets get moving.” we ran out of the house but the soldiers spotted us “Stop in the name of the law!” they screamed like we would listen to them they treat us like dirt “Keep running we’re faster than they are.” “Not when some of them are in front of us.” I looked for some ways out of the trap “Climb the tree and jump from tree to tree stay as close to me as possible.” we both climbed up some trees and they followed but what I knew that they couldn’t do was jumped tree to tree wolf humans can because they have claws. We reached about 500 miles away from the den when they realized that they could just chop down the tree and try to get us “Nice try but that can’t stop us!” I screamed down. They did it anyways and knocked me off my feet. “Ahh!” I was falling to the ground when “I got you Syrianna.” We both fell to the ground “You said.” the government said “I said you can catch us for about 3 minutes we’re smarter than ya think ya know.” I kicked a soldier in the knee and ran off Derek followed behind “That was smart not really.” “It was the only thing I could think of ok.” “Yeah might as well give us a death wish.” “Already have one thank you the government is searching for me so they don’t know who you are say that you’re my new partner and you’re fine ok?” “Fine but if that gets us in more trouble I will be really mad.” “Yeah whatever lets go.” we headed back to my human house.” “Hey mom watched some friends get taken by the government I’m so happy right now I just want to scream actually I want to free them so the little happy scene was fake if you couldn’t tell.” “Ok see ya when ya get back.” I left my house and sniffed their trail but that was going to be hard “There has to be about 300 wolf human senses out there right now you couldn’t possibly find them.” “I know Derek but I’m trying.” “Yet again yeah sure.” “When did you say that?” “Oh I didn’t say it to you?” “Yeah you didn’t.” “Yeah sure we’re faster yeah sure to all the stupid things you got us into!” “Why are you bringing this up now you came up with the plan to give a speech and I find it stupid because then they would know that we are posing as humans and the jobs we do now do you think that’s smart huh?” “That might’ve been a stupid plan but it could work we just need to get rid of the parts that would give us away.” “Listen I know you want to help but just leave.” “You wanna know what I will I’m not dealing with you and your stupid ideas and your doubt on my genius plans!” I found this argument stupid very stupid. “Why are we arguing?” I asked “I don’t know but I’m leaving anyway.” he walked away and came back “I forgot that I was the one that wanted to be with you and you can protect me from the counsel and I’m a runaway criminal I’m also part of the plan man I’m stupid.” “Can I agree with that?” “Go on ahead.” “Ok you’re right Derek try climbing up your ego and jump down your IQ.” I said rudely. “Ok not right now you got to get to school right now it’s 30 minutes past 7.” “Holy Cow I got to go.” “We don’t worship cows!” he screamed “I know!” I ran to school and the whole school was talking about Melissa and the others getting captured by the government. “Hey Syrianna did you here Melissa was secretly a wolf human that’s just terrible I trusted her!” a little dude walked up to me “You did this to her how could you I should turn you in!” “Don’t talk to me ok I don’t want you to talk to me I don’t want you near me and most importantly I don’t want to be friends.” I had to make this right once and for all but first I need to go to school.

I walked to my first class and the teacher told us to forget about Melissa she was never one of us she might as well of been the protector which not true I am “Yes Mrs. Sinister.” I said “Is there something bugging you Syrianna?” “No there isn’t just the fact that people that I trust always dies because they’re wolf humans.” “Well then you might not want to be here today because you’re going to be staying in this class for the rest of the school day watching the news except for lunch so everyone turn to the TV in the back of the room.” we all looked back there and she turned on the TV “I’m Sharon Millard and this is Fox News today the wolf humans are going to be interviewed, questioned, and tested first we are starting with the girl.” they pulled up Melissa “What’s your name?” they asked her “Like I would tell you.” “Tell us it would make it a lot easier.” “Nope sorry.” “Tell us now.” “Ok its Elsa.” she said “Ok Elsa tell us about yourself.” “You actually believe that my name’s Elsa wow talk about smart.” “Ok what is it.” “I’m not telling.” “I’m sorry folks if anyone of you know her real name please speak up.” no one did in our class “You give us no choice.” “What ya going to do?” “The torture.” “No.” they pulled out a machine we all know is called the “Terminator of Wolf Humans” they attached her to the chair. “You’re not really going to use it right?” “If you give us what we want.” “That’s never going to happen.” “Ok let it rip.” they turned it on and a shriek came out of Melissa “Never I vowed to keep our secret for all eternity!” there was more shrieking. I ran out of the room and went to the station “I have something to say to her!” the news women came over to me “Are you sure?” “Yes and you’re going to want to see this.” I went to the room and burst through the doors. “What are you doing?” “I have a bone to pick with you!” “What do you mean.” “I have a question what does the flag mean and what does it stand for?” “It stands for freedom for americans.” “Aren’t we americans?” “No you aren’t your wolf humans!” “Yes we are but do we live in america or not?” “Yeah.” “Don’t you think we deserve freedom?” “No you don’t you’ll hurt us.” “I have protected wolf humans and other humans ever since I was born I am the protector I am the leader and I am the one you are suppose to judge how I act is how the others act you don’t have to worry about them you have to worry about me I control the wolf humans!” “You could get them to hurt us!” “Have I ever done that?” “She has a point.” “Quiet!” “No not yet but you could.” “Let me tell you this we live in america we could be treated like you treat no others we aren’t slaves we aren’t different this is just like what Martin Luther King Jr said except that he had a dream for African Americans and I’m talking about wolf humans we are americans that deserve to be treated with respect and if we don’t get it our services and your country will be filled with dangers you’re never even knew about!” “What kinds?” the reporter asked “For years I’ve had to deal with deaths because of members of my pack I’m getting hunted by the government for using wolf human combat for defense you know how that feels terrible and the troubles you’ll be getting are far beyond what I know about but I know we are the strongest creatures in the world.” “But you’re just like werewolves but more dangerous.” “No we aren’t actually I should know we are stronger than them yes but we don’t turn into a full wolf except for me another thing you don’t know is this we’ve only killed about 3 people 1. Lindsay 2. Katrina 3. Scott and those were my friends I didn’t do anything the Extremist did that we have been separated into different groups the Familiaris- Humans that have been changed, Naturalist- Natural born wolf human, and the Extremist- The alphas also known as the ones who think they are stronger I fall into every category because I rule them all.” “But what about the recent attacks?” You mean the one that happened in Harrisburg that was the Extremist trying to get to me but that still doesn’t mean you get to hunt me and my friends how would you like it if only the wolf humans were allowed to be like the humans right now and we hunted you because we thought you were dangerous!” I didn’t know that the counsel was here with me watching my every move “So what we’re just suppose to let you have your way and let the wolf humans and humans live together in peace?” “You don’t have to but I would recommend it I have seen what happens when it happens I was friends with one for about a month before she passed due to the Extremist but together we can work together to help one another we can join the army be police officers and other protective things I know we’ll use those services wisely and help you just as long as you stop hurting and hunting us.” Melissa was still in the chair in pain “Why should we trust you again?” “Because I am the protector and it’s my job to protect the wolf humans from certain dangers but if we work together I can protect more than just mythical creatures like humans.” “That sounds reasonable can you be slaves?” “Would you like to be our slaves?” “Not really so I guess we can talk to the president.” “You don’t need to I was watching the news and I hereby declare that all wolf humans are allowed in the human towns and to live and act like a human as long as they don’t attack us and kill us.” “We promise.” they let Melissa go free and she ran to me and hugged me “You saved us all thank you!” she let go of me and headed back to her den. Then the counsel came out “You saved us from torture and extinction also from those horrible people I’m glad you’re our protector.” “No hugging not a hugger never will be thank you.” I love a happy world where everyone belongs and no one is left behind I find that wonderful but I still have to solve it in other countries “Ma’am what is your name?” “My name is Syrianna Clues I changed it awhile ago.” “I have a question do you want to come to Washington D.C to be on the news and tell everyone the news about the wolf humans.” “Not without my Mom, Dad, and Derek.” “That will be arranged.” I was happy for once that I got the rules changed I mean who wouldn’t “Let’s get going then.” we headed to the plane that he arrived in “Wait I can’t go I have things to do here maybe some other time thanks anyway.” I grabbed by the guards when does this actually end “Put her down.” the president said “But you wanted her to come to the capital.” “Not going to force her though she can make her own decisions but I have a few questions for you.” “Yes.” “What are the ways of the wolf humans and can they be in a separate school.” “To be honest they can handle themselves around humans but just to be safe every Saturday and every Sunday they must go to wolf human high unless they are over 20 thats when they stop and when I stop aging cool right?” “We shall make it known to the public let’s go to the back home.” as he left an Extremist came up to me “You don’t know what you did to us this wasn’t meant to be and it shall never happen we’ll get revenge or I will alone.” I didn’t take that as a threat mostly because I’m stronger than every wolf human combined. I went to the counsel place and there was a party almost every one was there except for one Extremist and that was the one that threatened me or at least tried to. “What’s going on here?” I asked “Oh just a little something you freed us from this curse.” “What curse?” “That one where every human hated us now they have to live with us almost that way but now we are free to roam with our ears out like we used to when your mom first had you and kept you a secret until you were 10.” I remember like it was yesterday. “Mom I’m going to go play at the park bye.” “Bye sweetie!” I ran to the park and halfway there “You young lady are coming with me!” “No.” “Yes all wolf humans must vanish they are completely dangerous.” “But I’m not one I swear.” “I can see the ears teeth and claws.” that was when my mom came in and grabbed me “We need to run away tuck those ears in.” I did as was told and the rest you may know. “I remember what happened I don’t need to remember anymore that was the worst day of my life we kept running and running we never stopped I can’t handle it I just can’t.” I ran out of the room I remembered that same thing over and over again “Why do I get these problems I do something and then I remembered what happened before I changed it.” “Why’d you run out?” it was Derek “Because the counsel made me remember what happened when I was little and the wolf humans were getting captured.” “I don’t want to hear it mostly because I don’t want to hurt your feelings anymore.” “You’re fine.” “I know I am.” “Not in that way.” “Aww.” “I’m sorry I didn’t mean to be rude.” I was getting worse at being nice ever since I first lost my friend Lindsay.

I got ready for school and went through 5 periods without going crazy “We are going into the weight room again today.” the gym teacher said “Everyone stay in this place right now I have it surrounded!” it was the girl that threatened me “I managed to get the counsel to turn against you actually the Extremist but who cares I’m not going to be the one destroying you it’s going to be Nala.” “My sister!” “That’s right sis get ready to be destroyed.” I transformed into a full wolf human since she could I can be full wolf but that would be mean on my sister “Attack!” she ran to me and scratched my face and left a big hand print that was a scratch sorta on it “You’ve changed we’re sisters.” “Yeah but remember this keep your friends close but your enemies closer and you're my enemy!” she grabbed a metal bar and jammed it right into my stomach area “AHHH!” I screamed as I fell to the ground in pain “You monster.” I said while blood splattered out of my mouth “I know bye it was nice seeing you in pain.” I crawled over to a corner and sat there “Everyone get over there we have to see if she’s alright!” the gym teacher said “Are you ok?” “No pain is overflowing me.” “William get over here and get this towel and push hard try to stop the blood.” by that time they already took out the metal bar “Syrianna!” Derek said rushing in “Call Denali!” he screamed at the gym teacher. By the time he reached me I was going in and out of consciousness “Syrianna stay with me, Here this has the number when and if she answers tell her that there has been an emergency with the protector.” he dialed the number and she answered he stepped out of the gym and talked for a while “Stay with me Syrianna please keep talking.” “Protéger les autres” I said ‘Protect the others’ in french he said “Je ferai de mon mieux.” ‘I’ll do my best.’ everything went black and a ton of screaming happened “Syrianna no! ,Please wake up wake up you can’t die on me you can’t die you just can’t die I love you!” I heard crying I’m guessing it was Derek. Blackness covered my sight I was gone and there was nothing I could do except watch over my family. About a week or so later Light popped into my eyes “Am I dead?” I asked “You’ll see.”
