CHAPTER 9

Noah quickly skirted through the back hall between the band and art rooms. His experiences at the SCA event several weeks ago made him a little braver. The hall itself was darker than usual, but he could see clearly. Must be something to do with what's been happening to me.

Ducking his head, he stepped up his pace nevertheless. At the halfway mark he felt, more than heard, someone come out of one of the empty rooms behind him. Before he could look back he heard a girl call his name, "Noah!"

Turning, he saw the new girl, Kara who only recently had started at Carlton. He breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh, it's you." She was tall, almost six feet, and had long blonde hair pulled back in a no-nonsense kind of pony tail. Wearing slacks and a plain-looking blue top that just hung off her like a limp dishrag, Noah wondered why nobody had ever taught her how to dress so that her clothes accented her looks. He stopped and let her catch up.

"You seemed startled," she said. "What's wrong?"

Noah shook his head, "Sorry. I just had a bad turn in these halls a few weeks back. I guess I'm kinda jumpy now."

"No need to be jumpy, little rabbit," a new voice came from behind Kara. Cursing himself mentally for being stupid, he recognized Matthews' voice as he, too, stepped from the room, adjusting his belt. "We jus' wanted to play." The bigger guy walked up and picked at Noah's collar.

Noah pulled away, "I'm not sure I want to play the same kind of games you play, Matthews." He swallowed hard as he felt the wave of testosterone that was sweeping off the werewolf. He shoved the little boy deep inside him, squared his shoulders and swept Matthews hand from his shoulder.

"Oh look, the cat thinks it's got claws," Kara said next to him. She pulled a long knife from her boot and smiled. Noah could see the fear in Matthews' mind and knew the blade was made of silver, "You don't have your cougar friend around right now, little kitten, and I don't think your cat is close enough to the surface to help you today."

"I don't know what you're talking about, Kara," Noah told her. "I'm just trying to get to art class.”

"Jeff here," she nodded toward Matthews, "tells me, you're quite the little tiger when cornered. Said you hurt two of his friends pretty badly a couple of weeks back." She ran the back of the knife down the line of his jaw, and dropped its point to the small hallow where his collar bones met. She giggled, "I hear you used to be something of a different kind of animal down on Central." He felt a prick of blood begin to ooze up around the point. Off to the side, he heard Matthews sniff the air, and then growl deeply.

He backed up against the wall to keep Matthews from getting behind him. "Look, I'm just trying to not be late for Ms.
