"When inner scars, show on your face,
And darkness hides, your sense of place,
Well I won't speak,
I will refrain and be the song.
Just be the song."

Weeks later...



The night was cool, and Aden couldn't help but smile as she made her way down the road with a couple plastic grocery bags in hand. Ever since the whole blood test thing and agreeing to lock away her wolfself, she felt like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders. She was doing normal things, such as what she was doing tonight.

Shannon was having them all over tonight for a stay over. Just Maddy, Tom, Rhydian, Shan and Aden and a bunch of food and movies. A night she really needed.

Knocking on Shannon's door, she felt the excitement bubble within her, ready for a good night with her friends.

After a moment, the door opened and Aden saw Maddy standing there. She had went straight to Shannon's after school to help her get things ready for all of them to come over while Aden stopped at the grocers after school, went home and changed before coming over.

"Hey," Aden smiled as she stepped in, "Sorry I'm a little late, but I stopped by the grocer's earlier and picked up some sweets. I thought it would be good with whatever movie we decide to watch."

"Oh, um..." Maddy chewed on the inside of her cheek, "We're actually not going to be watching a movie tonight."

Aden's eyebrows furrowed a little as she kicked off her boots and set them beside the door.

"Oh...okay," Aden said as she shrugged her jacket off, "I thought-"

"I kinda agreed with Shan that we'd go look for the beast on the moors tonight."

Aden frowned, "Why?"

"She really needs this right now." Maddy told her, "After what happened at the hospital...she needs to know that her friends are still behind her."

That right there was enough reason to convince her. Aden still felt bad for how the blood tests had an impact on Shannon...they had basically shattered her whole belief about the Moors monster and in the process, made her feel super guilty for suspecting them. Even worse, she was actually right...but it wasn't not like she could ever know that.

"Okay," Aden nodded in agreement.

As she shrugged her jacket off and set it on the coat rack, Maddy suddenly sneezed, followed by a cough, which caused me to frown.
