"Can I just say- holy shit! There is really a boy in the woods! I can't believe it! He even spoke! Granted, it was broken Japanese, but still! He spoke a little Japanese! We need to tell people. We need to tell as man-"

"Stop," I said firmly, interrupting the girl in her tirade. "No one can know about this. We can say for sure that the police would go after him to get him to a foster home. He seems perfectly fine with staying in the forest. Leave it at that."

The girl pouted, but went silent in submission. "I don't think I've told you, but my name is Elizabeth," she said with her head turned away. I smiled.

"And I am Damian, the good twin," I said.

She smiled. "I can tell. Your brother has that dark, playboy aura around him. You seem much more gentle person." She got up and started walking toward the entrance to the forest. I got up and followed. "I guess it kinda makes sense that he spoke Japanese. The creepy Master guy was Japanese. Jeez, I feel like I'm in an anime or something. Neko boys and sexy mysterious twins." She shook her head.

I started walking a bit faster than her. "Well, why do people think the boy is s myth or legend if this Japanese guy, Master or whatever, used to hang out with him?" I pushed aside some leaves before spotting the edge of forest, the school in view.

"Um," she started off by saying, "I guess Master was just really creepy and people thought he was crazy when he talked about the boy in the bar and stuff. He's really what started the whole controversy of 'the animal boy in the woods' thing." We walked out the woods and headed straight for the school.

I let what she said sink in. Where could the boy have come from? How does he have ears and a tail? Even werewolves can't stay between forms like that. Just thinking about the boy gives me a headache. He was insanely beautiful. And he smelled so good. I can't even describe it.

"Liz! Hey Liz!"

I looked toward the voice to see that we were standing at the doors of the school. A pale guy with blonde hair standing down the breezeway was waving at Elizabeth, who was standing next to me, practically leaning on me. She looked toward him and smiled at him.

"Hey Alex. Guess what?! We just saw the boy in the woods! He looks so pretty and would totally be the uke-"

"Stop! Don't finish that sentence! I told you I don't want to hear about your weird, kinky, cartoon fetishes!" Alex said. He stopped in front of us before realizing I was standing next to Elizabeth.

He held out his hand. "Hey, I'm Alex. Nice to meet you. Which twin are you?" He asked with a smile. I gripped his hand and shook it.

"Damian. Nice to meet you," I responded. He visibly shivered, eyelids fluttering.

"Oh. Wow. Your voice is as sexy as they say," he says with a smile. I gave him a weird look before my phone started buzzing in my pocket. I took it out and looked to see Galen was calling. I sighed before tapping 'answer'.

"Hello?"

"Damian! Where are you?! It's lunch and I'm bored as hell!" He immediately shot out.

"Um, I just came from the woods. Remember that boy I was talking about? Well, he's real and I think he may be our mat-"

"Psh. Yeah right. Remember when I suggested that I found our mate but you were extremely rude to her when you met her? Yeah. I'm not falling for your trick." He responded.

"Well, the girl was a whore, Galen. She had a fucking tube top on with a miniskirt and you were attracted to her because she had breasts. That's it. You just fell in lust with her seduction and I was actually excited because I thought you had found the one person that we were supposed to spend our lives with but she was just trash. You crushed me pretty hard that day. I actually think I've found our mate because I couldn't even see his face, only his eyes, and they were the prettiest shade of green I've ever seen. He is the epitome of the word 'beautiful'."

I was responded with silence on the other end of the phone.

"Well if you can somehow show me this beauty you speak of, then maybe I'll believe you," he said softly before hanging up.

I rolled my eyes and looked to see that Elizabeth and Alex were gone. Whatever. I'm just going to get my stuff for the day and go home. I've had enough today and I need to think of some kind of way to get the boy in the woods to meet my brother. I could already tell from the small moment of time I had with him that it will be very difficult. I walked through the school and met up with every teacher I had for the day to get my homework and class work. I put all my work in my bag before sending a text to Galen, telling him that I'm walking home. I took my time walking, deep in thought.

As I walked down the road, I could feel the boy's eyes on me. I can hear his little heart beat and the shifting of his body as he tries to follow me as quiet as possible. It fills me with warmth that he is curious about me. I look out the corner of my eyes to look into the forest I could vaguely see his figure jumping from branch to branch with his head turned to me as he tried to look. I unwillingly smile as I hear his excited heartbeat. Just for fun, I immediately come to a halt to see what would happen. The boy was apparently started and fell from a branch with a squeal. A laugh rose from me without meaning to.

I dropped my bag by a tree and slowly walked into the shrub. The boy was still rolling around, trying to brush off the pine needles. I walked closer until I was only about three feet away, hidden behind a tree. He finally got all the needles off before jumping up into his strange Tarzan-like position. He looked around some trees, seeming to look for me at the road, before realizing that I was staring at him. He went very still, before jerking his head to look in my direction. I whipped back around behind the tree and fell on my bottom, trying to get as small as possible.

I stayed as quiet as possible, my legs spread a bit, laid flat against the roots of the tree. My back is flat against the tree trunk and my head is tilted up, eyes screwed shut. As if that would make me more invisible. I listened to the boy shift around behind the tree a bit before it went quiet. I waited a few minutes before slowly opening my eyes.

Only to see a pair of bright green eyes directly in front of my face.
