Dani jumped to her feet when she heard the school bell ring.<span style="font-style: italic">Liz!</span>She scanned the crowd for Liz's face. As she searched, she noticed a wolf come out from the bushes. She watched as a staff member at the school stepped on his tail and scolded him for being on school grounds. As soon as he ran off to his owner, she went back to focusing on finding Liz. A few students looked at her in disgust as they walked past her. She ignored them and waited with growing anxiety.<br/><br/>"I'm right here." a quiet voice said behind her.<br/><br/>Dani turned around and nodded. A small smile formed on the girl's lips. Dani started heading off in the direction of home. Neither her or Liz talked to other people much. Dani didn't know any others like her, and Liz just wasn't very social. That was part of the reason her dad bought Dani. He figured that if he had someone Liz's age around all the time that would be loyal to her, then she would have someone to socialize with and maybe open up a bit to others. It worked a little bit. Dani had encouraged Liz to at least try to make some friends at school and Liz did manage to make a couple. That was good enough for her father, so it was good enough for Dani.
