Told by Shadow

Wow, I'm a jerk.

Crap! Crap! Crap! CRAP! I'm being chased by werewolf hunters. And I don't think it'll get any better as I keep running, even though I'm not breaking a sweat. Maybe... maybe this's for the best...? I thought terrified, even though I'm not scared to die.

BAM!

"GHA!" I screamed.

I looked at my shoulder, oh my God, so much blood! And, so... much... blo- everything goes black.

"SHADOW! Rose, get over here!"

Heh, where does he think he's going with me... wait, how does he know my name? How does he know Rose?! Why would he care if I'm injured?! Slowly, with great effort, I open my eyes, God! That's so bright! When my eyes finally adjust, I realize it was Drake yelling for Rose, Winter crying, and Luke freaking out.

Drake was over me, applying pressure to my gunshot wound. When he saw my eyes open, he smiled, a smile I've never seen before, a smile of great gratitude, I think, but most of it, relief and exhaustion.

So, I smiled the best I could. "YOU SCARED THE CRAP OUTTA US!" Luke yelled.

"S-sorry..." I mumbled.

I looked at Drake, he smiled the best he could. I probably looked like a wreck. A train wreck! Maybe it's better if I don't move. I'm kinda scared to move. "So, what happened?" I said sitting up.

"You were shot with silver."

"Oh yeah, I forgot... Huh, it's kind of weird how don't even remember myself running... I guess they used wolfsbane." I muttered.

Everyone glared at me, all except for Winter. Al least she understood.

"Why would you run off like that?!"

I spoke too soon. I looked at them with the same disapproving look they were giving me.

"Don't look at me like that!" I yelled. I stood up, they all backed up. I didn't realize I was growling until it was completely silent. But, I just kept glaring, growling, and feeling betrayed. "I know I screwed up, okay! I get it!" I could feel my eyes burning with tears, trying to blink them back was hard, I've never felt this betrayed since the accident with my father.

"Shadow...?" It was Drake. "Please, don't cry, we were-"

"I am not crying!" I hissed. But when I heard my voice, it broke, and I could feel the hot tears on my cheeks.

As Rose took a step forward, purposefully, I started growling even more. Her eyes widened and she backed up. "Aww, c'mon Rose, what's wrong? Are you, oh, I don't know, scared of me?" I said delightfully happy about it.

"Shadow? Shadow, why are you- AH!" Luke tried talking to me but, I just pushed away. They deserve to know what betrayal is...
