Chapter 3
930 Words
I run, and I don't stop. My legs are killing me, but I'm too scared to stop. I have probably been running for about 2 hours now, and I have no idea where I'm running to. The only thing I know is that I need to get as far away as I can from the place I used to call home. I'm just so tired, I can't keep running, my arms are all scraped up by the branches. It's also starting to get dark, and cold. Crap I should have brought a jacket. The only thing I'm wearing are some dark jeans and a black t-shirt.
Suddenly everything hit me, I have no idea where I'm gonna go now. I stop. I feel the cold air touch my skin, and and an owl is making its sound in the distance. s**t, what am I supposed to do now? I had almost forgotten about what actually made me run away, holy s**t what happened back there?! I, I turned into a wolf, how the heck is that possible?? It's because you're a werewolf, I hear that same voice in my head again. I'm I going mad I keep thinking to myself. No, you're not going mad, then what the hell is going on I think. My name is Alicia, I'm you wolf. My wolf? What does that mean. You're parents used to be werewolf, you come from a long line of strong ancestors. Ehm, so why didn't they tell me this? I can't be a werewolf, they don't exist. I tell myself. Yes they do, there aren't as many of us left anymore, but they do exist. I have to sit down, this is just too much. When I sit down I can suddenly feel how tired I am, I've been running mostly on adrenaline. I haven't eaten since lunch at school, it's now 08:27 pm. I just want to fall asleep and never really wake up. Why should I even try to keep going, it's not like anyone care anymore. I do, I hear Alicia tell me. I kinda have to smile by that comment, well at least someone care I think to myself.
All of a sudden I hear a branch break nearby, someone here. I can feel my heart beat faster, and the fear that it's my step father keep crawling up my thoughts. I guess Alicia feels the same, because the next second I can hear her tell me to run. I get up on my feet and start running in the opposite direction that the sound came from. I try to look back to see what it was, and what I see scared me more than anything. It was a huge wolf, much bigger than they normally are, and it was fast. I run faster, Alicia keeps telling me to shift but I have no idea how that s**t works. Anyway being a wolf freaking scared the s**t out of me. I keep running, the wolf gets closer and I can't see much, it's getting very dark really fast. When I look back one last time I can feel that I'm stumbling in something, I guess a branch. And I fall straight forward, slow enough to see a sharp stone that I fall onto with head first. And then everything goes black.

I see the girl sitting there, in the woods all by herself. It's the same girl I've watched the last couple of months, I think she saw me today as well, when she was on her way home from school. She looks tired, my wolf Bane keeps trying to get a better look at her, but I know to keep my distance. I don't want to scare her. She's so beautiful, I think to myself. Without thinking one of my paws step forward and steps on a branch. She turned around, she seems scared. I mean I would too if I saw a huge wolf just staring at her, but I'm not sure she noticed me. All of a sudden she starts running, she's pretty fast as well. I know she's a werewolf, I've known for a while now ever since I first saw her when she finished school one day. I've been obsessed with her ever since, it's a mating thing, we fall in love once, and I know I have found my one and only love now. She's pretty fast, I don't quite understand why she doesn't s**t though, she would be much faster as a wolf. But she keeps running, and I follow her, I try to keep my distance but I know she saw me. Suddenly I see her fall, and she doesn't get back up. I slowly starts walking up to her, and I see she's not moving. I turn into myself again as I come closer. She must have hit her head. When I turn her around I can finally see her face, it's so pretty. But that's not the only thing I see, I see the bruises on her arms, and blood on her head. She needs help. I slowly pick her up, she's not exactly heave at any point. I can feel his skinny she is, and I feel how fragile she must be. Like if I hug her too hard she would break. I start walking back to the pack house where we have a doctor who can take a better look at her, and where I know she would be safe. Because where she came from now did not seem like somewhere safe.
