chapter 4

~seraphina

Opening my eyes I found myself in bed, I had ran home and fallen asleep. I could remember that I had a fight with gramps... I yelled at him and stormed out. I sat up in my bed staring at my hands. I know he only wants what's best for me, he wants me to live a normal life and be happy, but how can I?

How can I just forget all the trauma I went through as a child?...even the townsfolk don't treat me normally...they all know what I went through they all pity me...

I love my grandpa deeply, he took me in when I had lost everything he helped me to go back to normal...only things aren't normal with me... I can't stop thinking about the monsters...the ones that destroyed my home...

I want to know more about why, and how it all happend...maybe then id be able to move on. But I know nothing about my home, my family, or even the people.

Sometimes I wonder if gramps knows, but hurt refuses to tell me, last time I asked him about it he told me to forget about that stuff. That it was unimportant. I know he just wants to keep me safe. But I can't just let it go...

Sulking I laid back down and buried my face into my pillow. What am I going to do though? What should I do?

With a sigh I lifted my head. First off I need to go apologize to gramps, I shouldn't have snapped at him...

Pulling myself out of bed I went over to grab my bag as a shrill ringing started in my ears. What the hell? I covered my ears as the sound got louder, and my head started hurting. After a few seconds, it suddenly stopped. I hesitated before removing my hands from my ears.

"What was that?" I listened closely for it again but there was only silence. A chill ran down my spine as I stood there. Forgetting about the bag, I stepped towards the front door. Before I could even open it I could hear it the town's warning bells started ringing. My stomach sank at the sound, that bell was rarely ever rung, and that was only for emergencies or if there was an attack...

Swinging the door open I looked outside to see the sky was starting to turn dark as the sun-set on the horizon. But the sun wasn't the only blazing light...i could see buildings on fire...

Dread filled me as I looked down the road to see people running around both in fear and in an attempt to put the fires out. Turning the other way I started running towards gramps's house. As I turned the corner, a man ran into me, I fell back as he stumbled and continued to run and scream? I watched as he ran away as if afraid of something. Getting to my feet I froze as I heard it... The defining howl of a beast. A howl I've heard so many times before in my mind... In my memories...

I looked back in the direction the man had been running from. It was chaos in the town and people were still attempting to put out the fires, but just like me, some stood frozen, after hearing the howl. They were all looking towards the dark forests. It was nearly impossible to see anything, but as I looked more closely I could see movement in the treeline, and my eyes widened.

I watched in horror as wolves ran out of the treeline straight towards the village. Before people even had a chance to scream or start running, the wolves started tearing into people.

I snapped out of my shock as people started running past me, with the wolves hot on their trails, killing anyone in their path.

Running to the side I ran between the houses and through an alleyway. I heard a growl behind me and looked back to see one of the wolves standing at the other end of the ally, snarling at me as blood and saliva dripped from its mouth.

My eyes widened and I didn't hesitate before running as fast as I could to get away. The wolf snarled and gave chase as I ran for my life. Weaving through the town I did my best to avoid any other wolves and crowds of people.
