How do I know if it worked? Hayden thought as she made her way towards the forest. She untied the laces of her black sneakers and tossed them aside, letting the lush grass at her spot bring tranquility to her thoughts.

The forest on its own wasn't like a dreamland, it was rather rough and bare of grass. But her spot was something different. It wasn't maintained well, the grass was rather too big and needed to be trimmed and even so, this was the only place that let her fully be herself. A bloodthirsty wolf.

I am going to be the Queen of the pack.

She hesitated as she picked up her phone, waiting for Valerie to ask her about it. She would have called herself but Valerie was the only one with the number.

She stared at her phone screen blankly, her eyes blurring because of staring at it for too long. The rhythm of her heart beat began to variate, just not in the way she expected.

Everything around her, her body, the grass and even her breath seemed to drop in temperature.

Her eyes shot up in fear as she clasped her mouth as a reflex action. Her legs trembled, not in fear, but in tiredness.

"W-was this supposed to happen?" she asked with trembling lips, her legs no longer able to support the weight of her body. Her back slammed to the ground as her body turned numb, unable to relish in the grass she was a few minutes ago.

Pain rushed through her body, the kind of pain she had never felt before. She grew up believing that turning into a wolf was the most excruciating pain you could possibly deal with but this was different. It felt as if someone was cutting all the nerves in her body with a pair of scissors, as her organs began to completely shut down. 

She struggled to keep her eyes open, to fight what had overcome her. Her strained eyes started to tear up in pain, her body immobile in the cold, hard ground. She had no choice but to give in.

I shouldn't have trusted her, she thought, closing her eyes and giving in to the darkness.

"Where is Hayden?" her father asked, in fear.

"What's wrong dad?" Cameron asked, placing his hands on his father's shoulder.

"I can sense death. Hayden's death." he said, managing to poise himself to the confident man he was.

"Who could've killed her? And why?" Cameron asked, trying to sound concerned but his dad knew all too well that this was a gift granted to him.

"I have to find her body. She rebelled against us but in the end, family has to stick with each other." he said, making his way out of the door, sniffing his way to her corpse.

Where am I? she though as blinding white light hit her eye by surprise. Her surroundings were empty. She turned her back to where she expected to see a wall but there was nothing. Nothing but bright, white light.
