My chest is burning, I cant keep running any more there has to be somewhere I can just hide right? I said with my eyes darting around the dense forest. Everywhere just being the thickest trees...impossible to climb I thought, but they're gaining and I cant keep this up forever.
Quickly scrambling up the tree, slipping every few grabs on branches and grazing a couple of finger tips; I did it I managed to get up there just in time for the hunters (wolves) to miss me. I could see their dumbfounded expressions through the leaves, pretty satisfying may I add.
Any how I suppose an explanation as to why I'm on the run is in order, you know like a get to know me haha... Well where I'm from/ not really from is a little confusing so try to keep up. I'm adopted to be plain simple I only found out a couple days ago when this s**t started ugh, going about my usual day in my room casually brushing my hair before dinner there was a knock at the door. By the foot steps I could tell my father answered, "Hello" he said with his distinctive, deep calm voice. After a short moment a response occurred, a low gravelly one to be exact. "Good evening sir, we have been informed you may be harbouring an extra soul in your abode. Which you may not have informed the council about. May we come in?". This didn't sound good I'll be honest at the time I didn't know they were referring to me as I thought I came out of my mothers womb and I never questioned why I couldn't turn into a wolf like mother or father. But no. My father gave a stern response "Actually at this represent moment in time you may not, we are about to have food and pay our gratitude to the moon goddess. so unless you have a warrant absolutely not". And he closed the door on them. I tuned my ears in more to what I could hear down stairs it followed along the lines of "s**t" a door slam and "we need to tell her now" from my mother.
You better believe I got off my ass and thundered down them stairs like a whippet on drugs, burst open that door, I saw my mother with tears staining her cheeks. "Darling" she started. "we need you to sit down"...and that was when they had told me I had been adopted when I was found on the street by my father, he knew he had to take me in the moment he laid eyes on me and mother agreed. Which was the nicest thing I had ever heard in my life. However then proceeded to tell me that the council wasn't to know because they would want to know where I came from and no one had a answer for that so that's why I was home schooled. They could tell I had lineage blood running through me( which I don't really believe seeing as I was now 20 and still hadn't even had my first transition).
Now I need to go though because they had my scent the moment that door opened, they knew.
