5 Years Later.....

Vida's POV at 5 yrs. old*************

zzZZZZzz zzZZZZzzz She's  snoring! She's asleep now's my chance. I take off my shoes and tip-toe out the door. I tip-toe off the porch, I can't be too careful. Sadie is always keeping an eye on me. Once my feet hit the dirt I quickly slipped on my sandals then took off in a dead run to the place I saw some kids playing in the woods.

I can't wait to play too! I slow down and skip the rest of the way to the clearing in the woods. I hear laughter so I know they're there! I'm so happy finally, kids I can play with! I stop skipping as I see to boys rolling around in the dirt with other boys watching, 2 girls making flower necklaces and 2 other girls braiding hair. So many kids who to play with first?

I walk out from the trees. A girl with curly dark brown hair that framed her round face with plump cheeks, plump lips, big brown eyes, and dark skin, asked, "Who's that?" pointing at me.

"Hi! I'm Vida!" I say happy as I can be with a big smile with a little wave.

A boy with short curly black hair, dark eyes said, "What are you?" "I'm a wolf." I say proudly. "No you're not!" The Biggest boy who was rolling around on the ground now stopped and I had everyone's eyes on me. "I am to a wolf my Gran told me so!" I say putting my arms on my hips like Gran does when she's serious. The big boy said, "No you're not! You're the color of a human! You're a hunter with you red hair and your pink skin!"

"I am not! I'm a wolf!" I shout! "Yes you are so shut up!" Smack! Something hit me in the eye. I said "Ouch! Wha-!" Smack! I was cut off by another hit to my face. "St-Stop!" I stutter as I stagger to recover. "Ha-Ha-Ha!, I heard laughter. Another boy with caramel skin and long shiny black hair walked up digging something out of his pocket, "Hold down the hunter! My dad gave me a pocket knife! We will kill the hunter and taker her to the Alpha and be heroes!"

A wave of fear washes over me at his words, Hunter! Kill! I step back and look around for the best way out of here. A little girl in a blue dress with braids in her hair reaches for me and I dodge her by jerking my arm away. From my left the boy that had hit me, grabbed me by left arm throwing me to the ground hard. My face landed in the dirt. I felt a kick to the ribs, then another. I cry out in pain with every blow.

Tears gushing from my eyes making my dirty face muddy, "P-Please! I-I'm a wolf! I only wanted t-to play! Please! stop!" My cries went on deaf ears. Someone flipped me on my back by my left arm harshly locking my wrist firmly in their grip, I look up and it's the boy with the pocket knife out ready to stab. "No! No ! No!" trying to pull away and fight with all I had. "Help me hold her Dexter." said the boy with the knife to the boy who hit me. I fight but, it was no use after some girls grab my legs. He jabs the knife in my left arm, I scream so loud I probably woke Gran; slicing down then pulling it out with a jerk, I scream and cry with his every jerk of the blade.

Dexter said, "Lets slit her throat and take her to the pack house to show everyone!" I try to get away kicking and clawing at anything finding nothing but dirt. The boy with the knife says, "Hold her down! Her head too."

In my hopeless sobbing I miss what happened next but, the boy, Dexter is laying in the dirt beside me with his eyes closed. I look up and see the fur of a wolf standing over me growling a ferocious growl at the other kids as they are backing away. The wolf turns to face me a give my dirty cheek a slobbery lick, I guess to calm my hysterical cries or maybe to eat me themselves.
