The Lone Wolf

The Hunt

After a few miles of walking my legs gave out, next thing I know my mom is over me slaping me awake. When i opened eyes I noticed she was crying. "Whats wrong?", I asked as she grasped me tight on my arm "you worried me! Good heavens child!-" she looked at my hand "- oh dear... your bleeding.... darling I understand If you just want to head back with the rest of the pack, please just say so.",

After she asked me to go back to camp I couldn't disobey her, she is the omega after all. So I said "Fine.. but how am I ever going to learn how to hunt?" My mom looked upset after I told her this and said "your only a pup! I'm not allowing you to go any further!" I wanted to say "But mom I'm thirteen, most the others so called pups are already learning how to hunt!", but I didn't say this to her because she is already upset I'm out here anyways.

As I started to walk back from the group I heard the howls of my mom and the rest of the hunting party. I couldn't resist the smell of game, I transformed into my wolf and set for the game without a second thought. It was a deer of course, I ran so fast that I almost missed the bite to the leg. The deer bucked and hit me straight in the face. That didn't stop me from holding on to the bucks leg, I delt enough damage to let go.

I let go of the leg and went straight for the throat of the buck. My mom bit my tail so I didn't to deal the last blow. I transformed back so did my mom as the others finished the deer that I brought down. " Elizabeth! How  dare you! Ughh.... I cannot be mad at you young lady. After all you did bring down that deer.... but still your not going hunting for a while miss!"

I didn't expect her to be... reluctant to punishing me. I said "Mom I knew I wasn't supposed to hunt, but when I heard the call not to mention the smell I couldn't resist my inner wolf.",mom looked at me with pride and anger and finally said, "Lets head back, the hunting party can carry the deer."

Finally we made it back! As soon as I passed the boundary to our clan I smelt something. It wasn't good, it smelt like blood! "MOM!! THE PACK!" She looked just as frightened as me, "STAY HERE ELISABETH! THE REST SPREAD OUT AND LOOK FOR OUR PACK!" I couldn't stand here and do nothing, but there was nothing for me to do to help but stay out of the way and let my mom handle the problem.

"RUN! NOW ELISABETH!" I saw Charlie runing from the direction where he and my mom went to explore. He was covered in blood, and not just his own, my moms! Without a second thought I ran so far, I didn't know where I was going, but i had a feeling that it was the right direction to safety.

I couldn't stop my tears, I was curled up in a ball in a little crawl hole. I heard someone coming! It could be mom! I crawled out of the space. It wasn't my mom, but a boy. He looked shocked, "Hey... are you okay?" I turned away and went back to my crawl hole, but before I could he took my hand. I looked into his eyes as I noticed the same sadness that he carried. I could almost see what pain he was feeling before he let me go. "Why are you out here alone?" I didn't feel like explaining so I said "Nothing, now leave me alone!" He clearly wasn't going to stop unless I gave a truthful answer.

My stomach rummbled out of hunger. "Are you hungry? I can get you something to eat." I looked him up and down before I said "What can you give me? You don't even look like you can hunt even if you tried to." He looked at me funny. "Hunt? What do you mean?" I got irritated and said "Are you dumb? Thats how you get food!" He just looked at me and said "stay here." I hated being ordered around! But there was no where for me to go, and now thinking about it he was kinda cute. "WHAT AM I THINKING! NO YOU HAVE NO TIME THINKING ABOUT BOYS!!" I thought to myself. I started to cry again, how stupid could I be thinking of a tall, cute, black haired human boy.

After about 10 minutes the boy returns with what he calls chicken nuggets. "What is it?" I ask as he laughs, "They are chicken nuggets, you eat them." He says. I pick one up and bite into it, it was.... delicious! I took the whole box away from him as I gulped them down.
