There was a forest just like the ones I had run into when I had left camp with Austin Bridges III. I was looking around, NO, looking for him. He said he would be here, so where is he? S-n-a-p! A stick breaks. I swirl around fast to see a shadow. Its him! Finally. Then spite of how happy I am when I see him I feel angry. Angry because its not fair how I am the one having to worry about sneeking around to see him. His long black hair slim over his amber colored eyes come into view. And boy, is it a good view. Once he sees me he gives me his cute smile I love so much. He opens his arms and I ,with no heitantion, go into his arms. We stay like that for a while. Words aren't needed to say how much we miss each other. "I've missed you so much" Austin whispers into my hair. "I missed you too" I hug him tightly before letting him go. He doesn't let go though. He look me into my eyes and lifts my chin so our lips meet, in a sweet kiss. Its been a regular thing with us since i got over him bieng a wereolf. Was i scared? No, i felt safer in his arms, than anywhere in the world. Our first kiss was when I got moved from Camp Cresent to Red Canyon Ranch in the desert. He had followed in a intempt of kissing me at least once. Even though he had to run laps and cut his gorgeouse long hair.
I brake the kiss to run my fingers through his hair. Thank god it had grown back, i missed feeling it. As if reading my thought Austin says "It grew agian, but I would chop it down for you any time" I laugh at that. He lets go of me and so do I. I make a show of examining his hair. Then, shake my head. "Nah- i perfer you with long hair, but now that you mention it- I would perfer you a little taller" I tease. As if playing along with me he goes on his toes to make him seem taller. Then, tries to kiss me but I make no move just to see if he doesn't trip. He doesn't so instead our lips meet and i find myself goes on the tip of my toes to kiss him harder. I put my arms aroound his neck, and his arms slide to my waiste to press me harder to him. Then he moves his lips from mine and moves then toward my neck, and I shiver. He doesn't stop though he bites me softly and then chuckles before moving away. He looks into my eyes with humor in his eyes. "I'm not a vampire you know? I'm a werewolf" He chuckles agian as he saw the reaction on my face. Confusion. I shake my head and look at him in the eye, berfore saying " I know that smart-ass i just- i dunno- a moment of hesitation i guess" No it wasn't that. I'm not sure if i should mention that my old "boyfriend" is coming to the city. The humor vanishes from his face. "I don't want to make you feel uncomterable- what's wrong?" He asks. I look away and chew on my lower lip. He tries to make eye contact but can't so he just sighs and takes my hand. I take it as he walk in silence through the never ending forest-of my dreams.

Dear...
Dear Ms. Vallejo,
You should read my book beacause it is so well organized it makes the story flow from one event to the next. The book is about this girl named Shelby. She has a step mom that hates her so she is sent to brat camp. Their she meets new friends and some more-than-friends boy. Austin Brides III. He is a famouse rock-star-son and has never ever been sent to brat camp. Shelby thinks he is into drugs but then he clears thing up with her by explaining he is a werewolf. Shelby gets dragged into his buissnes so when he decides to ditch the night of the full moon, she comes along because they close the enterance. So Austin had to take as close as possible to the gate before he changes. After, Shelby is tracked down by an animal but is saved by Austin but in his wereolf form. With that are taken to camp with serious injures. Later, Shelby's step mom had sent her to a dessert to run laps at another brat camp. After a couple days she found herself in front of Austin. Agian. Just so he could finally have a kiss from her, even though the instructers weren't so happy about it as they were. The lesson was: that love does the realy magic in the world.

Heather Davis
Heather Davis wrote two other books: Wherever You Go and The Clearing. When she was little she used to say stories to her dad about evil erasers and about evil lunch ladies. Once she toltaly forgot to eat just because she was telling her whole family stories about any random thing. Her niehbors even commented on how she would never stop talking. She had decided on what she was going to do until she met this guy that changed the chorse of her life.
Wherever You Go is about this Seventeen-year-old Holly Mullen that had felt lost and lonely ever since her boyfriend, Rob, died in a tragic accident. The fact that she has to spend most of her free time caring for her little sister and Alzheimer’s-stricken grandfather doesn’t help. But Holly has no idea that as she goes about her days, Rob’s ghost is watching over her. He isn’t happy when he sees his best friend, Jason, reach out to help Holly with her grandfather.
The Clearing:Amy is drawn to the misty, mysterious clearing behind her Aunt Mae’s place because it looks like the perfect place to hide from life. A place to block out the pain of her last relationship, to avoid the kids in her new town, to stop dwelling on what her future holds after high school. Then, she meets a boy lurking in the mist–Henry. Henry is different from any other guy Amy has ever known. And after several meetings in the clearing, she’s starting to fall for him.
Never Cry Werewolf: Okay, so maybe Shelby has made a few mistakes with boys lately (how was she supposed to know Wes had “borrowed” that Porsche?). But her step-mother totally overreacts when she catches Shelby in a post-curfew kiss with a hot senior. Suddenly Shelby’s summer plans are on the shelf, and she’s being packed off to brat camp. It’s good-bye, prom dress; hello, hiking boots.

Never Cry Werewolf
My relationship with my father has been not so good, ever since he started to date Priscilla or Honey Bun as he calls her. Ever since she convinced my dad to marry her, and to move to Beverly Hills she has been keeping a sharp eye on me, so I give her something to watch. It’s not hard since all my friends and I have ever done is go shopping and date. Well, they shopped and I dated.
The guy that had the last straw, at least with Honey Bun, was senior Josh Tilton. We were in my garden, walking under the full moon’s magic. We were just passing a bush, and as the gentlemen he is, he plucked a perfect white rose bud, and offered it to me. I sniffed it and yes it did smell good. He had just whispered “So do you want to go to the prom?” and my first thought was Um your supper cute- Duh! I was just saying “That would be so-” when all the sprinklers went on. Josh, as a gentlemen, pulled me under a tree to take cover, he looked at me in the eye with his blue ones and then to my lips. Oh man! He wanted to kiss me.
Had Priscilla not screamed “Step away from the boy!” he would have had kissed me. Her screams had caused poor Josh to jump a feet away from me.
“You’ve got to be kidding” I fired back. “I’m helping Josh with his poster for the charity car wash”
“In the dark?” Priscilla’s frown deepened.
“Well, we’re not making the posters now, obviously,” I said.
Josh stepped toward her “Let me explain,” he began.
Priscilla smiled thinly at Josh. “That’s not necessary. I see exactly what’s going on here. Romeo you can hit the road. And Shelby, your coming with me.”
With that, in a few days they had packed up my stuff and had send me away to brat camp! To Camp Crescent to be exact. At least it sounded normal from what we read from the brochures when I was caught ,by Honey Bun, with Josh. I was just waiting on the Stop sign, when I recognized this girl that was on the same plane that I was on. Well it was more like she noticed me. She was like an elf not the Lord of the Rings type just like short and with pointy ears. Just as they were checking our luggage(Seriously! Who does that?) we, being elf-girl and me, meat this red-headed girl, her name was Jenna. While elf-girl’s name was Ariel. Instantly people found out my dad was Locke and they had asked me about my dad’s plastic surgery drug. All except Ariel.
We had made a stop and that was when I saw him for the first time. Austin Bridges the Third. Apparently it was rare that he was at camp, but I guess that what happens to rock-star-sons. Later that day he had ran after a kid named Charles that had apparently had taken his backpack. I like the total moron that I was ran after him ignoring Mr. Winters’ (our “supervisor”) screams.
In the forest I had found Mr. Winters but lost track of him and simply followed a stream (which sucked because I had to go pee!) that lead to where Austin was. I wasn’t the only one who had lost track but it wasn’t long before we found Stupid Charles walking with Austin’s backpack. It seemed like Austin had drugs in his bag sooo Mr. Winters had taken it away from him.
For most of the time he had been asking me for help, well help to steal his “medicine”. I was not going to help him if he wouldn’t of had confessed that he was a werewolf! Jees- talk about weird! At first I didn’t believe him but one look at his serious face (well it was more like several times) that I started to believe him. The one time I truly believed him was when I saw him change when we had gotten outside, well he was going to leave or Ditch! I had to go with him and we had to find the way back without water, or a map! We were leaving on our own sides when an animal had been chasing me. Wouldn’t have Austin been there (in his werewolf form) had saved me but got really injured.
When we got back to camp Mr. winters had treated Austin and me. Well because I had gotten a few scratches from falling on a stupid root. It was like hell broke loose, when it all had finally ended they had contacted my parents, more like Honey Bun and was sent to Red Canyon Ranch, which is literally Hell! what do you expect from running a marathon on the desert, and being screamed orders? Just to find out that Austin had followed me here. My first thought when Vanessa whistled before saying “Oooh, that one in the leather jacket is fine” was “Hold up. Leather in the desert?“ When we had new arrivals. There was only one person that had brought a leather jacket to brat camp was someone I knew too well. Austin had come all this way just to give me a kiss. A kiss that made me lose all senses of my surroundings. Nothing except Austin and me.
The kind of kiss that certain sergeants arriving on the scene found objective between two reform cadets…
The kind of kiss that made scrubbing burned gravy pots after dinner that night pleasant work…
The kind of kiss that made digging a new latrine hole the next day fun…
Then again I learned that moonlight might have special powers, but love works the real magic in the world.
Only Love.

Ballad Poem
Slavery:
Slavery was well defined,
you would have to be blind,
to not see the signs,
of a terrible line of life,
you work hard or you die,
picking cotton all day and night,
swearing under their breath,
something that excistes only in their dreams,
the day is hot,
the night is cold,
oh when will it end?
waiting is not enough,
to keep on living,
time goes on with living hopes,
for whom will end it foever,
but who?
who would end this torment?,
finally the day that,
the night is brighter,
the day is darker,
has come and,
so has the end of our living nightmare.
Slavery was well defined,
