The girl with a sad smile
Nathaniel's POV
A little more
I'm getting closer
I kept running faster and faster until I finally saw a dead end.
The cliff
I slowed down my pace and walked to the edge of the cliff,getting closer and closer I began anticipating
Are you there?
A few days ago,I saw her for the first time and from that time she became a visitor to my dreams.
Suddenly I paused,there she stood at the edge of the cliff listening to the lake down below.
I quietly walked closer to her in an attempt to not disturb her but she turned back and looked at me with that sad smile.
" hey there little guy?" she smiled sadly at me
I had no idea what her name was so I always called her the girl with a sad smile.
I growled at her, I always hated it when she called me little guy.
She chuckled lightly and I could not help but disseminate the anger within me as I stared at her.
" keel" she ordered
I hated being treated like a dog but it was okay whenever she did it. I quietly stood beside her like a loyal wolf.
" I wish I could talk to you "she said after a while of silence
I wish I could talk to you too
She sat down beside me as we quietly listened to the lake.
It was a bliss to just stay beside her,even though she could not see me for me
The sun slowly rose up to the sky and rays of sunlight reflected on our faces as she slowly disperses into dust right before my eyes
how did you break into my dreams?
I closed my eyes and took in a little bit sunrise before jumping off the cliff.
I opened my eyes to the blinding reflection of the sun rays. I covered my face with the back of my palm but the sun rays managed to penetrate through them.
hands? I'm back
I stared at the blank ceiling that contained no answers to my questions just the dot that leads me into my imaginations.
" the girl with a sad smile" I muttered to myself
She struck my mind once more, this was the first time I thought about her in a place outside my dreams.
"why do I see you?” I questioned myself
I slowly got up from my bed and walked outside. The warm morning breeze greeted me. It had been the only greeting I receive since I lost my dad and brother about two months ago.
I used my powers to bring alive on of my old memories of my dad
" good morning dad"
"morning son"
"why are you out here early"
"because today is the full moon night"
"what does that mean"
"today we'll finally get a chance to be the real us every wolf in the pack is excited"
"I'm not so eager to turn into a monster dad"
"do you see the pack as monsters"
"I'm not wrong,why are the humans do afraid of us?"
"learn to take pride in your truth"
I'm Nathaniel,a werewolf that's my truth,the wolves had long been hunted by a human clan we call the Wolf hunters and I'm the last of my pack,the last crescent wolf.

Zara's POV
another day of agony
I slowly got up from bed with my thoughts scattered all over the place. I tried to recall the dream I was having.
cliff
dog
right the dog at the cliff
I slowly walked to the window and opened it,the winter cold breeze washed my face and I closed my eyes basking in the cold.
Thoughts of the dog by the cliff side filled my head. It felt like a few days ago but it has been two months since my father died, two months since I started seeing this dog in my dreams.
The door bell rang and I moved closer to the door to answer whoever it was
" who is it?” I asked politely
" Matthew ” the man behind the door replied.
" ohh" I exclaimed asked I opened the door for my uncle to come in.
Today,I was moving out of my dad's house to live with my uncle Matthew and his family.
" ain't you here a little too early?” I asked him and he smiled
" call it excitement my favorite cousin will start living with me" uncle Matthew smiled widely.
" but I've not packed my things" I complained
"What do you need to pack?" uncle Matthew asked
" my memories" I said heartbroken
I was gonna be leaving this home where I grew up,this home where all my memories are,this very place where mom and dad left me.
" I know its not gonna be easy for you but staying here is not among the options,you have to pick up the broken pieces of your life and there's a world ahead of you.." uncle Matthew paused to let his words sink in.
" you have a duty to carry out and you're too exposed out here,this is your Father's wish, he wanted to protect you so you can carry out your assignment" uncle Matthew said in a tone laced with worry.
I could sense the worry in his voice and honestly speaking he was right,staying here was dangerous.
" I understand,I'll go pack my things" I forced a smile to put him at ease.
" go " uncle Matthew replied.
I walked upstairs, grabbed my box and walked back to uncle Matthew who was sitting on the couch.
" are you sure this is all you need? " he asked weighing my box with his eyes.
" yeah" I replied
" let's go then" he said and stood up but halted on his tracks.
" no one must know where you're moving to" he stated seriously.
" I know that uncle,no one will know" I replied.
he walked ahead of me and soon we were outside the house and inside his car.
A new world was waiting for me but I was not sure if I wanted to embrace it yet.
