Hi, my name is Carter. I live in a remote Areas of North America. Our lives here are very simple until one accident occurred that change our lives. I was living with my mother audet in the small village called timber. I was a lumberjack and my mother is a sewer. My father died when I was 3 years old from a bear attack in the woods. I can't even remember how he looks or how tall he is. The only thing I remember about him is his scar on his left arm. My mother is a very superstitious woman I remember we always pray every time we go outside our house as we eat and as we sleep for our protection against unnatural forces and creatures like witches, vampires, werewolves, orcs, elves, fairy curses things. I never saw any of them so I don't believe in them anyway. And here's my best friend Lucas who's always there for me. To scare me and bully me. He's very annoying but a kind-hearted person he treated me like a little brother. every fifth of the month my mother travels alone to trade her seams for good and coals in another village so was left alone. This is a very special time for me coz no one is around to watch what I was doing to stop me from overeating and playing with Lucas in the woods and river. One night when everyone in our village is asleep. And I was alone and tired from doing my works in the woods. Loud howls wake me up and bring shivering chills death and fear in every single one of us that lives in the village. And as I take a peek I saw blood scattered everywhere dead bodies lying on the ground while being devoured by something I can't explain. There's nothing I can do. My body keeps on trembling just by hearing screams and broken bones make me vomit
I tried to lock my door. But as soon as I moved the creature outside start to stare at my location. Our eyes met. It slowly starts moving towards my location I'm so scared. And it starts to run like a dog knocked down my door. I was push back to the ground I was so terrified by its appearance it's started to sniff me. And started Howling so loud my mind and body already give up on and as I look toward the door I saw my best friend Lucas holding an ax. He has completely covered in blood the creature in front of us don't have any clue of what's behind him he strikes from the back. He manages to wound it. And start looking in his direction it stands up it looks like it's very angry and ready to attack him it's charge toward him he manages to land the ax again in its neck it's being pushed back. Then Lucas start running towards me he grabs my hand and runs outside the cabin but out of nowhere, another creature knocked me out and I lose grips of his hand I feel dizziness there's blood on my hand while coughs I started feeling numb Lucas was nowhere to be found he might pass out from the attacks I start calling his name but he never answers back as the creature start charging towards me a big black wolf depend on me from its attack I don't know why. But it looks like I'm going to die anyway. If I was only strong enough and brave enough like Lucas this won't happen I hate myself for being a Coward I hate it. And I lose consciousness.
I feel warm I see a red light in the dark but can't feel my body it's weird maybe I'm dead and that's the light where I need to go but as I travel to reach It heard a voice calling my name and as I look back I saw Lucas crying like a baby trying to grab my hand and when I almost reach him I wake up. I was beside a bonfire surrounded by a big file of rocks that protecting from being cold I sit back and look around trying to look if anyone is around but I haven't seen anyone then everything flashback where our village we're attacked by unknown creatures and Lucas was nowhere to be found I started to feel angry bout myself I hit myself so hard that my vision starts to fading and then someone starts to embrace me from the back and tries to stop me from hurting myself. He embraced me to the point that I can't even move and then I look over his face it's Lucas I am very happy I embraced him back and as I cry he path my head saying everything will be alright his voice is so calm. To the point that I fell asleep as he embraced me. And when I woke up I still feel the warm feeling from his embrace there is food in front of me and a glass of water. I start eating it and I went outside looking for him. As I walk away from the cave I heard a loud sound of water pouring from the high ground. The cave was beside a waterfall. Lucas was there taking a bath. I don't know why but I can't stop staring at him I saw some scratches on his back and his shoulder I started to feel uncomfortable and pathetic from what I was doing. And as I planned to leave I feel a warm hand touches my hand. It's Lucas asking if I feel alright or do I still feel any pain from the event before. I said no I was fine and I thank him for saving my life back then. We start gatherings wood foods to stack them in the cave. And as we sit in front of the bonfire I ask him what happen back then. Because the lasting I remember is that black wolf that jumps in front of me. Then he started to tell me everything that there is no such thing as black wolves trying to save me. He says that our village was attacked by a pack of werewolves and the one that saves me is not a wolf but our chieftain in the village. I also asked why were away from the village and staying in a cave right now. He says that the village is almost wipeout, not a single cabin is still intact so we need to go find our place to stay and to keep safe. The villager was forced to scatter around.
