First Chapter of Future Stories: Part 3

Wolf Maiden: Twilight

Scarlett Zollanger was a normal girl with a normal life. Until her parents died and she had to move in with her grandmother, Clara Uley (nee* Zollanger). The grandmother of Sam Uley, the alpha of the wolf pack. Scarlett has always loved wolves. Her grandmother would tell her stories of great spirit warriors that turned into wolves. And about the wolf maiden, who helped guide and calm the wolves. Scarlett thought they were just stories until she came across Paul the day he shifted for the first time.

(March 5, 2005) Scarlett's POV

So my parents died at the beginning of the year. I have since then moved in with my grandmother. I have taken classes online, but I will soon start attending the local school. We live in La Push, on the Quileute reservation. So I will be going to the school on the reservation. I am sixteen, and I love wolves.

Anyway, something has been calling to me ever since I moved here. Today, I finally gave into the pull, and it leads me into the forest. It's raining lightly, so I have the hood of my red jacket up. I soon hear a soft whimpering sound and follow it.

I come across a clearing and see a huge grey wolf. I freeze, and I hear him whimper again. Poor thing sounds terrified. "It's ok," I  say softly. He looks at me, shocked. Welock eyes and his eyes look human. I sit down cross-legged. "Everything will be ok," I assure him.

He whines. "I'm Scarlett," I tell him. I hold out a hand to him, and he eyes it wearily. "It's ok, I won't hurt you," I assure him. He growls lowly, looking conflicted. I don't know why, but I feel compelled to sing and do so.

"Deep in the meadow, under the willow
A bed of grass, a soft green pillow
Lay down your head, and close your sleepy eyes
And when again they open, the sun will rise.

Here it's safe. Here it's warm
Here, the daisies guard you from every harm
Here, your dreams are sweet, and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.

Deep in the meadow, hidden far away
A cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray,
Forget your woes and let your troubles lay
And when again it's morning, they'll wash away.

Here it's safe. Here it's warm
Here, the daisies guard you from every harm
Here, your dreams are sweet, and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you, " I finish. The wolf is now resting his head on my lap as I stroke his soft head. "I will stay with you now. You are safe, me," I state.

I hear leaves rustle and look up to see two other large wolves. One pitch black and one dark brown. The grey wolf growls them. "It's ok, no need for that boy," I tell him. I lock eyes with the other wolves. "Are you here to help your friend?" I ask. The black one nodshis head. "I guess we must part now, friend," I tell the grey wolf. Who whines and snuggles into my stomach.

"It's ok, we'll see each other again," I assure him. "Just howl and I will be there," I tell him. He nods and gets to his feet. I do the same and walk over to the other two with him. He leaves with the brown wolf. I look up at the black. "Take care of them, if you ever need help. Call" I tell him stroking his cheek. "Your eyes look so human" I mumble and he left. I walk home.

(Emily's house) Third persons POV

"Billy, Paul phased" Sam says into the phone. He put Jared in charge of showing Paul the boundary line and explaining the basics to him. So that he could talk to Billy about Scarlett.

"We knew it was going to happen. But why are you calling me? Shouldn't you be trying to calm Paul?" Billy asks.

"No need, a teenage girl did it already" Sam tells him.

"What teenage girl?" Billy asks.

"Don’t know, never seen her before. Jared and I were on our way to talk to Paul. To calm him" Sam states. "But when we neared him, we heard a girl singing. It soothed us and Paul. When we entered the clearing, we saw Paul resting his head on the girl's lap. As she stroked his fur" he explains.

"Wolf maiden" Billy murmurs.

"What's a wolf maiden?" Sam asks.

"A girl who guides and soothes a wolf pack. Keeps them connected to their humanity. She was supposed to appear when you phased, but didn't. We could never figure out why, did you get a name?" Billy asks.

"Scarlett," Sam states.

"Scarlett Zollanger," Billy says.

"Zollanger? That's my grandmothers maiden name" Sam states.

"This explains it, the wolf maiden is always connected to the alpha in some way. She only moved here at the beginning of the year after her parents passed away. She now lives with her grandmother, your grandmother " Billy states.

"Must be why I haven't heard from Gran in a while. So what do I do?" Sam asks.

"Meet her, tell her everything. The sooner she bonds with the pack, the better for everyone " Billy tells him. "Make sure she is at the next bonfire along with Paul. Good day, Sam" he says and they end the call. Sam then calls his grandmother and invites her over with Scarlett for dinner.
