The अगला दिन nearly everyone at school was asking me what happened. Does anything in this town stay a secret? I went to all my classes and द्वारा the end of the day, I just wanted to be left alone. I walked to my jeep in the parking lot, my mom had driven me to the hospital in the अगला town to get it back. I told her that my friend drove me घर and I had forgotten it there. I got in and was about to start it up, when a piece of paper floated into my gaze. I grabbed it and flipped it over. It was the address to Dylan's studio. I sighed remembering that I was suppose to talk with him. I started the jeep and started driving to East Wood.
When I got there, I found the studio. It was a two story building with large glass windows on the first floor. Looking through the windows, आप could see a wide variety of instruments such as guitars, drums, pianos, violins and trombones. I walked in and was amazed द्वारा the size of the store. I found Dylan at the back polishing a trumpet. “Julie, आप made it.”
“Ya, so what did आप want to talk about?”
“Follow me upstairs. It will be और comfortable.” I followed him to his apartment upstairs.
“Please have a seat.” He gestured at a leather सोफ़ा, सोफे in the large living room. I sat down while he went to get drinks. Looking around the room, I noticed a lot of expensive looking paintings and vases. Dylan came in with two glasses of fancy water. “Now, down to business.” He said, sitting across from me in an armchair. “Julie, have आप always lived in your house beside the forest?” It seemed like an easy enough question.
“Yes.”
“Have आप ever seen anything, strange in those woods?” Ok, strange question.
“No, not really.” I couldn't tell him that there were shape-shifters in there.
“I see.” He looked लॉस्ट in thought. “Do आप know anyone named Rowan?” I shook my head no. “What about Heidi? या Thaddeus?” The answer must have been clear on my face. “Oh, so आप have meet them. Which ones?”
“I...I don't know what you're talking about.” I lied.
“Oh, come now Julie. I know you've met some of the pack.”
“How do आप know about them?” I was scared to know the answer.
“I know them because I created most of them.” I nearly fell off the couch.
“You what?!”
“Don't look so surprised. Yes, I created them. I took the DNA of a भेड़िया and mixed it with the DNA of a few, volunteers.” I gasped. He was smiling at me in a weird way. “I'll be right back. Don't go anywhere.” He got up and when down the hall and into another room. I waited until he was gone before I pulled out my phone. I dialed Brett's number. There was no answer. I left a message, “Text me as soon as possible. It's an emergency.” I put my phone away just as Dylan came out of the other room. He was carrying some files. “These are the records of the experiments.” He handed them to me. Flipping through, I saw a few names I recognized such as Thaddeus, Emmaline, Altar, Piper, Dalla and Brett. The clock on the दीवार chimed. “Well, would आप look at the time. I really must let आप go, I have other business to attend to.” He opened the door and let me out. I was calm until I got outside, running to my jeep I slammed the door shut and put th metal to the pedal. Racing through town, I was amazed the police hadn't come after me. I got to a heavily wooded area before I stopped. I stopped the jeep and took the files out of my bag. I had taken them when Dylan wasn't looking. How could someone who seemed so nice be so horrible? I read through the files,
October 7, 1983
Volunteer is currently unconscious. भेड़िया DNA has attacked his दिल and brain. If this works, he should be half भेड़िया and half human.
October 18, 1983
Experiment failed. Volunteer has passed on. Blood killed his brain and stopped his heart.
I gasped. How could he do this to an innocent person! I read on,
February 23, 1984
Volunteer has stayed conscious but is in terrible pain. Blood has reached heart.
March 3, 1984
Volunteer has been unconscious. Breathing but is very pale.
Most of the files were like this. Each had a few entries. One was different then the others though,
November 13, 1721
Volunteer has been दिया blood. Nearly died.
November 25, 1721
Volunteer opened eyes, yellow. Craves human flesh. Have to put down.
This file was from almost 300 साल ago, and there was blood on the bottom of it.

Sadie and Claire's Ride
This is what आप call the Earth
This is what people call the world
This is what we call life
We can't go on pretending दिन द्वारा day
That good things will always happen
Stormy days will come, it's not a miracle
But the storm will end soon, and all will be clear again
Heavy rain's crashing against my windowsill
I think, when will this ever stop?
The thunder's crashing against the trees outside
Today's not going to be a fine day, but it will end
I woke up this morning and guess what I saw
Bright sunny mornings with a clear future
No one's gonna stop me from believin
The rain stopped and the future's bright again
Good and bad create our lives
We can't pretend that everything's gonna always be alright
It's hard to think that something's gonna be wrong
But it's the truth, the whole truth.
We can't go on दिन द्वारा दिन pretending
Everything's gonna be alright
But we know that sunny days will come out
Soon या later.
