Midnight Shadow

Prologue

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!", I scream as my papa picked me up in the air after we ran for about twenty minutes. I could have out run him, if he didnt have his big legs! They are longer then I am and I'm barely five.......wait....six! My birthday is today!

Maybe thats why papa is made at me for taking one of the ballon shaped cookies on the tray. There was so many I thought no one would notice it. Sue me.

I pout when papa took the cookie out of my grip that i didnt even get to have one bite out of. He chuckled when he saw me pout," You shoudnt be taking mama's cookies. You know how she feels about her cooking.",He rufffles my hair and walked back to the house with me in his arms.

I stare at the cookie that was two inches away from my grip. Is daddy trying to make me go crazy and eat that cookie even if it was in his grip!? He should know that I'm not afraid of biting his skin for sweets. He still has the bite mark from last time he tried to take away the chocolate bar from my hand.......hehe.

Once he opened the back door to our farmhouse, the smell of baking filled my nose and I couldnt help but drool. It smells sooooooo good right now. The sound of my belly growling filled my ears and I blush in embassement, hoping my papa didnt hear.

But judging by the way he laughed, I beg the differ.

He sets me down on the table which makes me walk away from my own thoughts. I watch him walk over to my mama who looked like the flash from the stove...to the counter...fridge..then the routine would go all over again.

For a woman carrying my brother for seven months, she sure can move fast when she cooks.

Papa hugged mama to her and put his mouth onto hers to.....eat her face off?

i gasp and i cover my eyes in horror as I yell out,"Mama! Why is papa eating your mouth off!? DID YOU EAT A CO-?!", I was cut off when they laugh as they seperate from eating each other.

I look at my mama's lips and notice they were still on her face, which make me feel confused. Wasnt papa eating mama's lips just a few seconds ago? Im so confused right now!

You should have seen the shock that showed up on my face when my mama said it was 'kissing'.

Then it all happened so quickly.....

The sound of claws scratching the walls....

The sound of growling.....

The sound of my mama screaming......

I felt numb, confused at what was happening right now. Why was mama crying? What are those sounds that I'm hearing? Wolves? Why would wolves be attacking us?

All I could hear was the sound of the wolves attacking the house to get in. And they seemed to be really wanting to get inside and attack us. Maybe they were wolves like the story Little Red Riding Hood. But that thought made me tremble in fear and cry.

I don't want to be eating by anyone! It's my birthday!

I barely even care when mama picked me up and held me close into her arms as she ran upstairs in panic. Her flowing flower dress flying behind her as if she was really flying. The same goes to her long hair. Mama always said that she wasn't really beautiful, but that was a lie. She really is even if she doesn't believe in herself. She was like a angel running from bad people. That's why papa gave her a nickname like that......His Angel....

I felt a felt something wet hit my cheek which made me look around for what it was. A leak on the wall? I touched my cheek, my cheeks were dry with tears except for that wet droplet that fell on me. I kept looking around till my eyes landed on mama, who was crying.
