The sun was setting and villagers were running about trying to get decorations sorted before sundown. All villagers are to gather at the village square once the sun touches the top of the Labri mountains.

Eventually i was at the square squished between villagers. My father the Chief of Labri and Turak's father Chief of Kotra stood together to commemorate us a celebration to Turak and I. I smiled at people as they looked to me. I spotted Turak a little while away from me. He smiled at me. I didn't smile back. I don't know why I just didn't.

Eventually everything was set and ready, baskets of food and fruit lay everywhere. Pork, beef and lamb roasted on a spit over a pit of fire.
My father clapped his hands together three times and everyone fell silent.

"Hello my fellow villagers Labri and Kotra, we are now unite as one, so for the villagers of Kotra I will be telling the Labri Legend. Of course it's not true but just for the children to know the Legend I will be telling the story. So if everyone would please find a place to sit, when I'm done we will feast." My father announced. Everyone was silent and attentive. Especially the Kotra villagers since they have never heard the Legend of Labri.

My father cleared his throat and began.

"The was a man who lived in this village many many moons ago. He worked the land just like our men do, and on their harvest day, a pack of wolves attacked the villagers and killed some of them, other villagers fled and hid. This man tried to protect his family and while doing so he was bitten by the wolf. He survived.

His wife had wrapped his arm in a bandage so they could sit attend the harvest just like we are right now. He started to become aggressive, the say it was because of the bite. He tried to kill his wife, but in his attempt his wife cut of one of his fingers and cut him across the forehead. The chief banished him and he left the village.

No one ever saw him again. But the next full moon his wife did. A wolf attacked her and killed her. A bystander said the wolf was missing a toe on the left paw, exactly where his finger had been cut off. The wolf also had a cut on its for head. It is believed, if you getting bitten by an alpha wolf a moon cycle around harvest, you will be turned into a werewolf. The wolf was never to be seen again, but sometimes if you listen hard enough, you can hear the wolf cry."

It was awfully quiet. No one said a word, so father announced the feast and everyone headed for the baskets of fruit and food.

I was about to walk to the food when a strong pair of hands pulled me back. I spun around quite startled, and faced none other than Turak. He smiled down at me.

"Are you alright,"? he asked, a worried look crept onto his face.

"Yes of course." I said, looking of into the distance, a pair of blue eyes caught mine. Yasitu, he was at the edge of the forest, his eyes strained on me. I couldn't see him exactly but i could see the dried blood on his shirt.

He slipped away into the darkness and i couldnt see him anymore. I started off for the forest running like my life depended on it. I stopped at the tree where he had stood. I was breathing so hard, my lungs hurt. Out of nowhere, a hand collided with my face knocking me to the floor. My vision dazed, i felt dizzy before i slipped into unconsionious, i saw familar blue eyes. One that looked so cold, i swear they were made of ice.
