Cherryl Carter walked down the hall of Green Fields university, muttering to herself, which is something did more often then not. She reached her locker and opened it a bit too harshly. She was late, which was a first for her. For those who didn’t know her she hated being late and it wasn’t even her fault; her sister took so long adding heaps and heaps of make-up on her face this morning, which in turn made her late.

"Thanks sis" she muttered under her breathe. She scrunched up her nose remembering all the different colors of eye-liners and lipsticks lying on her dressing table with all the other things she couldn’t even begin to name.

She sighed heavily, trying to calm down her nerves and grabbed the books she needed and closed the locker without any loud metal scraping sound. As she walked down the hallway towards her first class of the day, she passed a few students roaming around, "clearly planning to skip class" she thought. She couldn’t even think about doing that. She was just a quiet girl, always staying in shadows.　

Her mom would always say " Your too quiet Cherryl, you need to open up and go out to have some fun!" She would just smile at her comment and then spend all day studying but when she had free time she would read a book or two. She isn’t the type of girl to put on some really short dress and go out partying. Truth to be told, she hated crowded and noisy places. In her opinion, she’s a loner if you had to categorize her but she doesn’t really care. She’s not here to impress people by wearing slutty dresses. She’s here in this world to do something big. She had set her goal in life and she would achieve it. Nobody could get in her way!

People said that "This is the age to have fun!" but she believed that right now is her time to rise and shine. After her goal is completed then she would have all the time to enjoy life and have fun. Right now she has to concentrate solely on her studies, nothing else.

With new confidence and determination she hastened her pace, only to bump her shoulder with some other student, making her books fall on the floor. Without wasting any time she quickly bent down and picked up her pile of books. She muttered "sorry" to the fellow student without even looking at him to avoid any confrontations. When she was right in front of her classroom door, she peered over her shoulder only to see Damien Richards back as he turned down the corner. She was glad she hadn’t waited around for help or an apology. She knew his type. They just come here to waste their parent’s money. They have the looks and the smarts but no goal in life, and that’s the reason she refers to them as "lost souls".

She wasn’t much of a looker in her opinion. She’s just your average girl with black hair, Grey eyes and average height. Which is a good thing according to her as no guys really bother her, which saves her the trouble. Moreover she didn’t have time to be wasting on guys. Later, when she will be old enough she’ll get married. When it came to guys she wasn’t under the impression that there was a prince charming or a lovey-dovey hero, She knew that they where only imagined up for books and films.

She shook her head to clear away all the stupid thoughts and prepared her brain for her first lecture of the day. She opened her classroom door and walked in and headed to sit at her usual seat without looking at anyone on her way there. She didn’t really care about talking to anyone. She was just glad that she made it to her class on time.

　

Damien Richards went through his usual morning routine, but something was off about today. He couldn’t point out what but he has this feeling in his gut. The mystery was solved as soon as he reached Green Fields.

His long term fluid-swapping piece, Nichole Finch was trying to force him into a serious relationship. He felt like laughing at her face, she told him that she had fallen in love with him. He denied her then and there. He had made it clear right from the beginning that he’s not that guy to play prince charming to anyone. They were having a good time but she ruined everything and to top it all off she was trying to blackmail him. When she said that she would tell everyone about his secret, his beast stirred within him but he controlled it.

As the full moon came closer his control was slipping away day by day. If she doesn’t come to her senses by then, she’s in some real danger. He was really pissed off now. To be at the top of the social ladder has it's own flaws and nobody would know that better than him. He could have as many friends or girls as he wanted but still he’s always alone. While their time will keep moving forward as they get married, have kids, grow old and die, his will not.

He was stuck in his twenty three year old body, the only thing that has changed over time is his country, which has been happening for as long as he can remember. He is cursed with immortality. No matter how hard he had tried to blend in, he had always been the odd one out. He knows very well that whenever someone looks at him, all they see is your normal golden boy.

If they only knew there was nothing normal about him.

He sighed heavily and continued walking towards his first class, as he checked his wrist watch he increased his pace. He was in no mood for a lecture from his teacher. His beast didn’t like being ordered around and today his patience level was real low. Right then some girl bumped into him making his beast growl in irritation as her books fell to the floor with a thud. She quickly picked up her books, muttered a sorry and walked down the hall without even looking at him, leaving behind a trail of her flowery scent. He was amazed by her reaction. She must be blind or something, he thought.

He walked down the hall and turned round the corner. His beast was still at bay, so he took deep breaths to calm him down but nothing helped. For the first time he was oblivious about the reason of his restlessness. He shook his head and tried to calm himself down some more but failed miserably. His beast was itching to be free. He sighed one more time trying to push him down but only got assailed again by the same mouth watering, flowery scent lingering in the hallway which made his beast even more agitated.

He was feeling frustrated. He knew that he had to set his beast free before he ended up losing control while in front of other people. He quickly walked out of the college and made a dash for the forest. Once he knew he was deep within the forest depths and there would be no witnesses, he let the change take over him. He had shifted so many times that he didn’t feel any of the pain just a tingling sensation. His pearly white teeth were now replaced by razor sharp canines, his flawless skin was covered with black fur and his hands turned into paws with knife like claws. The handsome guy that had walked into the forest, was now a deadly blue eyed beast.
