*TESSA*
Someone's carrying me. I can feel the motions as the person in walking. I'm too scared to open my eyes, to see what is happening. But I'm also a bit curious. It's a weird feeling because I'm still scared, but I also feel like I know this person, like I have known him for years and that we would be so close. So I open my eyes, and the guy who's carrying me seems so familiar, but I swear I have never seen him before. His hair is a dark color, and he have olive toned skin and a jaw bone that looks so good. He then sees that I'm awake, and he stops. My heart rate goes up and I begin to move in his arms. I fall down and start backing off into the woods. I look around and it's just trees after trees. I have no idea how long I was out and how far away I am from home, if I can ever call that place home again. I turn around and start running the opposite direction while I hear him yell after me that I need to stop. "Hey, I won't hurt you! Just wait up!" I can hear him yell. But I can't, I don't know that dude, why the hell does he want me to stop. Then I can see something in my side view, it's big and dark and is running much faster than I am. Suddenly I hear Alicia in my head; I don't think he will hurt us, he carried us all this way and I don't think anyone who does not care would do that. But how do you know he won't hit us and be bad as well? I ask her. She doesn't answer so I guess she can agree. The only man who ever cared for me the last years was my step dad, and he didn't exactly care for me in the loving way. I mean I know what love is, but I don't know how it work anymore.
Suddenly the dark figure shoots from my side view to right in front of me, I stop and start backing off again. It's a huge wolf, and I don't mean that golden retriever size which they usually have. I mean like twice the size, at least. But something was strange about it, it looked so familiar. I didn't understand until a few moments later when I remembered, it was the same wolf that I had seen from my school. The one that always looked like he followed me, but I always thought I had just imagined it? I have no idea honestly. I was still backing up until I bump into a tree and have to stop, it comes closer until it's about 5 feet away from me. Then something strange happens, it's changing. I'm too scared to move, I just stand there unable to take my eyes of it. It starts changing into something, or more like someone. It's a human, I don't get it. He's the same as us, I hear Alicia tell me in my head. A werewolf, I mean the only thing I have ever learned about those things are that they are vicious creatures that just like to kill. Hey, you're a werewolf remember that? Alicia comments. I mean she has a point, even though I still can't wrap my head around that they exist, or that I exist to be more exact.
By now he's a fully human being, he still has clothes on I realize, I guess that's normal? I guess he can see how frightened I am so he starts talking slowly and comes over to me slowly. "Hey, I didn't mean to scare you. Why are you out here? It's pretty far from town?" I'm too scared to say anything. "My name is Alexander, but you can just call me Alex. Do you know what you are?" I noticed he asked me a question. "What?" I managed to stutter. "I asked if you know what you are? And why are you so far away from town?" He asked, his voice was soft, I liked it. He is wondering if you know you're a werewolf, Alicia said. "You mean that wolf thing? Yeah I guess I know by now." I said with an unsure voice. I felt my eyes tear a little, I was just so tired now. My legs started shaking as well and I knew I couldn't run even if I wanted to. "Are you okay? Do you need anything? I know a place if you wanna come with me, it's safe I promise." Alex tells me. I didn't want to, I started backing off again. I didn't even know this guy, and now he wanted to bring me somewhere? I don't think he means anything bad, I hear Alicia say. But what do we know about that dude? That he has been watching me from school the past year? He made me think I was crazy. "Hey don't leave! I don't mean anything bad!" He says. I numb into another tree again, this time kinda hard so I fell to the ground. I was too tired to stand up. My eyes started filling with tears from being freighted and tired. Crap I don't know what to do know. He comes closer and I close my eyes, to scared to see what he will do to me. When he touches my skin I freeze, then some adrenaline come into my body and I start running. Not very fast though, he could easily catch up to me. I haven't been running for more than a couple of minutes when I hear footsteps behind me. I try to look back but in the same second I do that I can feel my foot getting stuck in a branch at the ground and once again I'm falling into blackness.
