for support. Hearing that was far worse than knowing that there was a mythical creature standing before me.
    Alexander walked over to the kitchen sink and fixed me a glass of water. I stared at him in disbelief.
    "Why?" I asked, unable to fight back the tears of betrayal.
    "Don't be angry with her. She did the right thing by bringing you here. Now you will be safe. You'll never have to live another day in fear again." He assured me. His assurance only added fuel to the fire of my anger.
    "How could she!" I screamed.
    "Calm yourself Leigha." He warned. I didn't listen. I grabbed my coat and ran out to the garage. The doors were down and Alexander was at my side in seconds.
    "Where do you think you are going?" He asked curiously.
    "I—I have to get out of here. I need some air. This is too much for me to take in all at once!" I yelled.
    "Leigha! Calm yourself." He scolded.
    "No! Just stay away from me!" I yelled, quickly pressing for the garage door to open.
    "I can remedy your pain Leigha." He offered, moving closer towards me.
    "And ruin your reputation?" I asked, gesturing towards the crowd of curious neighbors. He scowled at me and took a step back.
    "I will find you Leigha. How far do you think you'll be able to get before I catch you?" He warned.
    "Far enough." I answered as I ran out into the crowd. I looked down at my watch, and Maria was pulling up right on cue.
    She stared fearfully at Alex's angry glare as I climbed into her car.
    "He doesn't look very happy Leigha." Maria observed. I rolled my eyes.
    "It's all working out as planned. Now, we have a game to get to. Did you find someone to perform the spell?" I asked. Maria rolled her eyes.
    "It's not that difficult to find a witch around these parts. She's supposed to meet us at the game." Maria said as she pulled out swiftly down the road.
    "Does he know that you know?” Maria asked as she peeled swiftly down the road.
    "Yep. I'm not really sure of his connection to me, but I'm sure that he'll know the exact moment that we encounter any trouble. So our safety is not something we will have to worry about.” Maria shook her head dubiously.
    "We are going to get into so much trouble for this. I can just feel the torrent."
    "Stop your whining and get us to Forest Grove High before he catches up with us.” I chided. Maria rolled her eyes and increased her speed on the highway.
    The evening quickly approached as we pulled up into F.G. High's parking lot. I pulled my damp hair into a ponytail as we ran into the school's gymnasium.
    "Do you see her?" I asked, turning to Maria for guidance.
    "No. She said she would be with an exotic woman." I rolled my eyes at that one.
    "An exotic woman? You have got to be kidding me. Is that the best information you could come up with?" I glared daggers at her. Maria shrugged her shoulders and pulled the pin out of her hair.
    "Listen, you asked me to find a local witch. If you wanted perfection, then you should have just done it yourself." She grumbled.
    "Whatever, let's find this exotic woman." I grumbled, looking through the crowd of cheering fans.
    I was a bit surprised at first. For there to be a wild pack of animals on the loose, humans seemed to treat it like any other day. Oh right, I was freshly introduced into the reality of things. Had my eyes still been blinded, I would probably be cheering along with them. Tiffany and Jenny noticed me from the court and waved for me to join them. I feigned acknowledgement. I would apologize to them later. I had bigger fish to fry at this point. For example, like saving the town from these vicious creatures.
    After a half hour of looking, I met up with Maria at the concession stand.
    "Any luck?" I asked. Maria shook her head.
    "Nothing." She said, as she turned to order a bottled water. I turned away, scowling at the cheering crowd as half time approached. Something captured my attention. Several young men hurried over to the concession stand, nearly battling for the front place in line. I
