The next day after school Naomi and I went out to the woods. I had decided to tag along to the treehouse village. Naomi climbed up the ladder of what I assumed was Carlos’s treehouse. He shared with Danielle. Naomi knocked once I got up there and Danielle opened the door. “He’s still asleep,” she said glumly. Naomi’s shoulders slumped. “Okay. Write me if he wakes up?" Danielle smiled slightly. “As usual, yes.” Naomi laughed. A small one, sure, but I’d rarely heard her laugh since we got back from chaos. We left and went back along the path to the school. I heard footsteps that weren’t ours and turned around, distracted. Naomi noticed. “What’s wrong?" “I heard something. Footsteps,” I said, still glancing around. She checked the time. “Want to see what it was? We’ve got time." I nodded and grabbed her hand. I led her in the direction I heard the noise. As we neared our Wolf Fruit clearing. I heard footsteps again. I turned, and leaning against the tree next to us was a stranger. He looked vaguely familiar, though. His spikes black hair and amber eyes matched the features of someone I hadn’t seen in a week. Except, I’d never seen him in human form. “Beorf?” I whispered. He nodded. “Hello, Acwulf.” Naomi stared. “But - you were cursed. You had to stay in wolf form, right?” “For ten years, the curse lasted. Now it’s lifted,” Beorf replied. “/That’s/ why I couldn’t summon you! The curse lifted as we were fighting!” I exclaimed, the pieces clicking. He nodded again. “Correct. The curse was lifted after you had the pain curse shot at you.” “So is all of your pack human now?” Naomi asked. “Yes. All…” he paused, probably counting in his head. “9 of us are human again." “Where are you staying? What are the other member’s names?” I asked. “We’re just staying in the woods. Me, Zara, Dango, Marcos, Holly, Jared, Tristan, Sophia, and Nina.” “Okay. How old are you now?” Naomi inquired. “Around 21, I think. I was 11 when we were cursed.” “Dango?” “He’s 10. Marcos is 15. Holly’s 12. The others are adults.” “Oh.” It hit me then; none of them had been in human form for 10 years. “How did you manage to walk on your own?” He laughed. “Lots of falling. Dango and Holly are still trying.” “Wow,” Naomi murmured. We let Beorf return to his pack - sorry, group. The twins, Calli, Naomi, and I ate dinner at the school, then went to sleep.
