Dare to be WILD

Chapter 2- Lost

“I have gotten you a load of Disney movies downloaded and order us a Chinese” my mum says “we can have a lovely girls night snuggled up” She smiles broadly. “Me and my Little bug!” She laughs at my childhood nickname.  

 I laugh and smile as my mum is just so cute sometimes, girls nights are rare as mum normally works to late.

“Mum?” I ask her quietly.

“Yes Bug?” She looks over to me a concern showing on her face.

“I’m so sorry mum” I start to cry “I’m sorry for worrying you. I’m so sorry” I wipe at the tears streaming down my face. I hate that I made her worry so much.

“it’s okay hunny,” my mum starts to cry to “I’m just so happy that you are safe.” She gives my arm a squeeze and dabs at her eyes that are full of sadness.

We arrive home in content silence both of us just enjoying the time together.  

Mum puts the kettle on and I run upstairs to get the duvet. It is almost 2pm so we make a small lunch and set up a Disney marathon with snacks and popcorn.

We watched about 3 movies when the doorbell goes.  “Chinese” I squeal with childish excitement.

“I’ll get the door, you get my purse.” Mum giggles as she walks to the door.

She freezes just before turning the handle “Carrie” she shouts just as the door flies of its hinges. “Run” my mum shouts in almost a growl fear clear in her voice.

 I run into the hall to see my mum struggling with a large… wait what the, it's a wolf.

 “You can’t have her!” My mum screams at the beast before slamming it into the wall. I run towards her to get the creature of her. And I hear more growls as another beast enters through the broken door. Causing me to back away from my mums struggle.

 “Run Carrie. You have to get out of here!” My mum yells in pain as the creature bites down hard on her arm. The wolf in the door charges towards me. I grab the lamp of the stand beside me and hit the beast as hard as I could across the face. It whimpers and growls I kick it while it is down and then run to the back door ,grabbing my phone of the table on my way through. I start dialling 999 when I something tackles me from behind. I fall to the floor and my phone scatters into the tree line. I roll onto my back to see the wolves snarling face.

I scream at it as I lift my legs to try and kick it off me. Who has heard of wolves in England? I cant get the beast of me, I hold its face inches from mine as it snarls and snaps at me.

I hear my mum scream and when I look I see she is getting dragged across the lawn by the larger of the wolves. He bites down on her leg this time my mum screams in outrage and fear. Suddenly there is a crunching noise and her body begins to break. I look away as my mum screams in agony. Then in her place stands a magnificent golden wolf.

The wolf on me gets up allowing me to sit up and take in the beautiful wolf. “Mum?” I whisper and its ears twist and the wolf bows her head.  She was beautiful. And then just before my eyes she was taken. The large wolf bit down on her neck snapping it instantly. I scream out as the golden furred wolf falls to the floor and its body dissolves into that of my mums naked, empty shell.

I scream out and I get up to run, but mans voice makes me stop in my place “if you don’t want the same fate, I will stay where you are.” His voice was dark and menacing, his eyes where black and cold. He was more monster then man.

 He reaches his hand out towards me, to grab me. I hit them away and he smiles sickeningly “I love a good fight.”His voice is was laced with lust and anger. 

And with that I kick him as hard as I can between the legs and I run, I run as fast and as far as I can without stopping without looking or feeling. I run until I am lost.
