Born to be a wolf.

That’s something Hollywood never tells you just how scary it is to be a teenage werewolf, to always be hunted and hiding, never being able to be yourself. It started the summer my parents filed for divorce, it was all over the papers and the internet, and people were calling it the divorce of the decade. My father sent me away to summer camp up in the grey mountain area; it was an all girl camp. “Do I really have to do this?” I whined at my father but he stayed true to his word no matter what I said. “Why am I being punished? I didn’t do anything wrong, it’s not like I was asked how I felt about this.” “Selena, it’s not like its forever it’s just until things settle down.” I wiped away my tears and just looked out the window, before long we came to the base of the mountain to my camp where a dark haired lady was standing and smiling. Our car stops just in front of her, she reaches across and opens my door. “Welcome to Grey Mountain Selena, you are in cabin D and it’s a single cabin as one of counselors didn’t come back this year so it was empty.” I looked across at my dad but he smiled and nodded so I got out and walked off, it didn’t take me long to find the cabin I opened the door and saw just how cosy it was and decided that maybe it wasn’t going to be as bad as I thought it was. A knock at my door snaps me back. “Your bags need to be searched then they will be brought here for you, I have gotten you a pass for the first week from all activities so just take some time and get back into your painting, this place is very magical.” “Yeah, just don’t forget about me ok.” I said sadly, he kissed my head then left to go home without me, I stripped down my bed and dusted off everything twice so I could set it all up once I got all my stuff and believe me I packed a lot. As I was opening up the windows, when the lady from before wheeled my suitcases up to my cabin. “In all my years I have never seen someone bring so much stuff to summer camp.” She smiled at me. “At first it was just to get at my parents but really in the end it’s all the things that remind me of happier times in my family. I understand why I'm here but it’s just so.” “Far from your real life? Maybe that’s a good thing for now, well I will let you settle in and dinner is at 6pm at the main fire pit. By the way I am Louise; I’m the leaders of this little camp.” I said thank you then she left and I set out to make my little cabin as homey as I could. I decide to take a break and go for a walk to clear my head before dinner and see some of mountain, because I was the first camper by 2 days no one really kept an eye on me. I put my headset on and went out on a small run, as camp was just getting out of view I felt as if I was being watched so I slowed down to look around but saw no one around but I decided to head back anyways. Just as I was about to exit the tree line I saw a quick streak of black making me jump but as I did I lost the grip on my phone and it went flying off into the bushes, I lean down to start looking but a counselor called out my name and at first I didn’t reply but by the time they had called my name the third time they sounded pissed off so I decided to go in and come back out afterwards. Apparently my mother didn’t tell them that I was a vegetarian so the only thing I had for dinner was 2 potatoes and a small bowl of mixed veggies. “Excuse me Louise but I dropped my iPhone just around the tree line, can I be excused and go look for it before the sun is completely gone?” “Sure just don’t go into the woods.” She said softly with a smile so I nodded and smiled then left to quickly find it. I made my way back to where I was but the sun was setting quickly and taking all of my light away, just as I was about to stop looking a noise just inside the woods made me look up it sounded like an injured animal so I ran in to help. There was a baby deer with its leg stuck in a trap so I set out to help it but suddenly something big and heavy crashed into my back sending me face first into the ground, I was completely winded but before I could do anything something bite into my shoulder I tried to cry out but I was still face down. “Leave the girl, come one mutt.” I was holding my shoulder while I cried into the leaves and grass, then suddenly the thing was gone and I was able to roll over and breathe properly.
