Felix is a normal boy on the outside but no one, not even his friends, know a dark secret about him. Hes a werewolf. Now, now, now! Not those werewolves. Hollywood movies made werewolves look as if they have no control over their shift. But the truth is that they shifted at will. They do get a bit more wrestles during a full moon, but they normally slept through it anyway. They didnt attack humans; they were quite friendly, like dogs. They also didnt partially shift very often. If they shift, they're going to shift fully, which means they would look the same as a normal wolf. However, they were bigger, and they also kept their mindset. Now I know thats a lot of information but its crucial that you understand theyre harmless. Sadly, not everyone is as understanding as you. Thats how Felix ended up running in his wolf form at full speed while trying to avoid bullets from the hunters behind him. They were trying to kill him after finding out he was a werewolf. To be honest he didnt know how they found out. No one except his close family knew. His steps faltered when the realization hit him: someone in my family must have snitched on me! He was furious, his family, his people, his everything, they just gave him away for slaughter. How could they? He never did anything wrong to them. He was always the quiet one in the family. He was the only werewolf in the family. His mom cheated on his father with a werewolf without realizing what he was. After he was born it was obvious he was a werewolf. Werewolf cubs are born with their teeth so that they can protect themselves from people trying to harm them. It was a useful defense mechanism but also the reason for the werewolves' demise. As soon as they would see the teeth, most doctors would just kill the baby. It was cruel, yes, but it was legal. He was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard a familiar voice. Catch that monster! It was his older brother Chan. His ex-brother now, he reminded himself. He was numb to the pain. How could he? How could Chan call him a monster? When just the previous week he was hugging him until he couldnt breathe. When just yesterday he called him to ask to meet the next day at the bridge they always went to. He set him up. HE SET HIM UP! Thats when he heard the bullet coming towards him. It was too late. He had to get out of the way. He didn't. He didn't want to fall. His last thoughts were:

His brother called him! Scratch that!

            A monster called him!

          Then he fell. He was dead.
