Wolf Hearts

I was screaming against the towel, my back was stinging and I felt the blood tinkling towards the floor. I heard a very feminine giggle echo against the walls, I felt the hands on my arms and legs soften and the towel loosen it's choking grip,
"Who's there?" Mikey calls
"Well, I heard that some very attractive boys were in the locker room, the teacher told me to go investigate" the woman's voice cooed "I didn't think he knew what he was talking about, but now I see there's only sexy boys in here"
I looked up to see their smug faces looking towards the door, I looked over towards the door to see what the hell was going on
"Well, if you boys wanna have a little fun" she purred "Meet me in the girls' locker room"
After she said that message, her hand came out and hanging from her hands was a lacy bra and a matching pair of panties. The guys all dropped what they were doing and ran towards the door
"Where'd that lady go?" They all ask
"That way, with a skimpy dress on" says a familiar voice
"Sally" I whispered
Out from behind the corner she came, her gray eyes racing towards my back, she fidgeted slightly before going into the lost&found and pulling a black swim shirt out, handing it to me
"Wear this, once it's time for swimming, go under for a while, understood?"
"Yes, but there was no slutty girl, was there?"
She winked as she pulled me up, I had to smile, she was good, real good. We ran out just as the fourth bell rang, Mr. Fuentes asked why I was late, Sally perked up and told him that I hit my head in the bathroom stall and I was merely dizzy from the impact. Mr. Fuentes shrugged before looking over at Ray, Bob, and Mikey, who were all running towards the group, looking flustered and deprived of sex, when Fuentes called them out for being late, a voice pipped up from the back of the room
"Ha ha, they've all got erections!" A squeaky voice called out
Once everyone noticed, everyone started laughing and pointing, I looked over at Sally who had this mischevious gleam in her eyes. She told me she was practicing ventriloquy, she didn't tell me she already knew how to throw her voice. I started laughing too, I turned around and stopped immediately, Mikey was giving looks that could kill and not just me, to Sally too. Mr. Fuentes told them to go to the office after they, "took care of it" and told the rest of us it was free swim. Sally and I stayed away from the locker rooms, we swam around the deep end, sometimes splashing each other and having fun. After class, we met up by my locker and decided to sit by each other at the assembly that was going to be for the remainder of the day. I knew that some police man was coming in to talk to us all, something about a string of murders in the states and that we might all be in trouble or something. We walked into the gymnasium, taking a seat in the far back, close to the exits, everyone was talking until the principal silenced everybody and introduced the speaker, Captain Andrew Biersack.
"Hello children, I'm here to talk to you about a criminal the police want you to know about" he began "How many of you have heard of the two men's bones we found in the river?"
The whole gym raised their hands, including Sally and me, he nodded and continued on
"Alright, so you are all aware of the crime I'm talking about, well, that's why I called your school to talk to you about this, now all of you aware of how to call 911, correct?"
Everyone raised their hands again and he went on
"Good, now, as much as you think that calling the police would be a cowardly thing to do in a suspicious situation, but trust me, with whoever e this murderer is, if you don't call someone, if you ignore him or her, this murderer will not remorse for you, no matter who you are, the murderer will not hesitate to rip the flesh off your bones"
A lot of girls gasped and some of the people in front of us grabbed hands, I felt Sally grab my hand, she wasn't afraid of the murderer though, she just wanted to.
"So, to stay safe from this killer, I suggest three things. One, don't go out after dark, alone. Two, stay away from suspicious things, such as unidentifiable cries or wounded strangers. Three, report any dangerous or suspicious behavior, this is the most important rule of all, if you report it, then we may be able to catch them and stop the murderer"
I felt Sally's head go closer to mine, she whispered very softly
"I need to tell you something, is there anywhere you know that's absolutely private?"
"Yeah I know a place, but are you okay?"
"Look, this is really important and you need to know"
"Okay"
The final bell rang and we darted towards the exit, Sally was ahead of me, leading me out of the building. She pulled me past the buses, past the gas station and stopped at the pond by the park. Her eyes kept darting around, like she was anxious or something, she wasn't acting like herself, she seemed, I don't know, hungry?
"So where is this pla-" Sally stopped mid-sentence, her ears seemed to perk up and her pupils dilated as she was looking around
"What is it?"
"I don't know, I hear someone coming towards us"
As if on cue, two people jumped out from behind some trees and grabbed the two of us, dragging both of us towards the frozen pond. The one who was holding me held me upside down and the one holding Sally had slung her over his broad shoulders. Bob and Ray, we were being carried away by Bob and Ray! I saw Sally was fighting, she got quite a few good kicks at Bob's face before he hung her upside down too. She wasn't fighting back as strongly, it wasn't long before she stopped fighting all together, with the blood rushing through her head, it wasn't surprising to me that she stopped. We were going rather far back for anyone to see what they were going to do to us, I was terrified, but what she told me hit me like a boulder.
"Fight back" her hushed voice whispered
"Ah, so you caught the little girls? Perfect, this is going to be fun" Mikey's voice soon laughed
What the hell was he going to do? What the hell is he going to do!?
"Bob! Tie up the new girl, she can learn her lesson that way"
Mikey tossed him a rope and Bob began tying her to a nearby tree, she was too dizzy to react to the rope that was being tightly wrapped around her chest.
"As for you, Frankie boy, I wanted to have a little more fun with you"
He picked up a stick and slammed it into the thin ice, making a hole that would be just the right size for a small body like mine, he wasn't really going to put me in there, was he?
"We're going to play a game, alright? The average for a boy like you to hold his breath is three minutes, lets see if you can last that long in that hole. If you win, we'll never bother you or your girlfriend ever again. But, if you fail or chicken out, I'm going to take one of your girlfriend's pretty little eyes out, understood?" He explains, twirling his knife with his fingers
He was dead serious, I looked over at Sally, she nodded her head, she had an idea to save us both, I had that gut feeling that she did at least. So, I agreed, he made me take off everything except for my boxers, and grabbed me by the hair.
"Any last words kid?"
"Go to hell"
"Fair enough"
I took a deep breath as the cold water hit my skin, he was holding my head down, to keep me from sneaking a breath, but I was kicking and hitting my arms everywhere, trying to stay warm and keep me from having a panic attack, my chest felt like it was caving in and I felt my lungs burning. I hope this three minutes is over very soon
****************************SALLY'S POV**************************
The alarm was going off on Mikey's watch, I let out a relieved breath, it was over, Alice shrunk back into her cage in my mind. But Mikey wasn't letting Frank up, in fact no one was moving or doing anything to get Frank out.
"Hey time is up, it's time to let him up!" I said
"He doesn't come up until I say he comes up" Mikey remarks
I put two and two together quite quickly, he wasn't letting Frank up, he wanted Frank to drown, they all did, they were blaming him for what I did. Alice was up and ready to go, this time I let her out. She roared and ripped the ropes apart, as Ray and Bob turned around, she stuck her claws into their chests and silenced them, then she turned quickly on Mikey, I saw terror in his eyes and caused the wolf to smile, suddenly Alice was gone, I was in control, her terrible voice was gone, I had control of everything. Before Mikey could scream, I sliced off his head and watched it roll into the water, I quickly changed into a human again and pulled Frank out of the water. He was choking, coughing, and shivering, but he was alive and wide-eyed.
"I-Is th-th-this wha-what y-y-you wa-wa-wanted t-t-to ta-ta-talk ab-ab-about?" He stuttered half from being freezing cold and half from being terrified
"Yes, I know it looks bad, but can you still let me explain in that private place we talked about? If you're terrified of me, I'll never bother you again"
"N-no, I'm fine, just let me get ch-changed, you turn around and, ea-eat them if y-y-you want"
I turned around, changing into a wolf, I ate Ray first, leaving him a pile of bones, then Bob, and I finished with Mikey's leftovers. I left his head alone, but I pushed the bones into the hole in the pond and pushed Mikey's head under the ice. Frank had all of his stuff on, he turned to look at me, his eyes widened as I transformed back
"I know, it's a weird thing to see murder and I'm sorry you had to learn about it this way-" I began
"Your eyes are hazel"
"Wait, what"
He brought me to the water, I saw my reflection and sure enough, my eyes had become hazel. I started squealing and jumping around, Alice was gone and I had control!
"Why are you so happy?"
"I'll explain everything to you in that private place, okay"
He was still shell shocked from the whole thing, which was easy to understand, I cupped his cheek in my hand and looked him dead in the eye
"I know it looks bad, but I swear I'll never hurt you" I pulled him close and hugged him "Do you still believe in me?"
His little arms wrapped around my back and pulled me closer to him
"I believe you, I'll believe you until the end of forever"
