The Snow Leopard

Chapter 1

I've decided to create a classic werewolf Wattpad romance story. Why? I don't know... Don't look at me like that XD

Enjoy!

----------------------

"You silly goose!" I laughed as my little brother shook the snow out of his face. I bounded over to him and ruffled the top of his head.

"Stop it!" He ducked out from under my paw and whacked my head.

"Oh, you are so gonna get it." He yelped and ran away, me running right on his tail. I lept up onto his back and crashed with him into the snow.

"Clara! Tommy!," we perked up our ears and looked into the direction of the voice, "Come in for dinner!"

"Coming mom!" We ran to our cabin, racing each other to see who could who could get there first. Tommy, still new to his paws, lost to my powerful long legs.

"No fair!" We walked into the warm cabin and sat on the mat.

I smirked down and him, "I won fair and square, and there's nothing you can do about it."

Mother walked up to us and felt out paws. "You two are so wet!" She stood up, "You both are in a need of a bath!"

"What? No!"

"I call first!"

I ran towards the bathroom, leaving wet paw prints on the wooden floor. Once inside, I closed the door and shifted. I inspected my tangled white hair in the mirror. I'm gonna need a whole lot of conditioner.

Turning towards the shower, I turned the knob and jumped into the stream of warm water.

"Hurry up before the food gets cold!" My mother yelled as she knocked on the door.

"Okay!" I quickly washed and conditioned my hair, before jumping out and wrapping myself in a towel. Running into my room across the hall into my room, I pulled on my fluffy pajamas.

Out in the kitchen, Mother was finishing up making dinner.

"Where's dad?" I asked as I rubbed my hair with a towel.

"Out getting more food," She answered, getting out plates and utensils, "Apparently, there's a storm on the way. Will you help me?"

I took the stack of plates and set the table with her. Both of us were almost identical. Same long white hair, identical noses. You get the idea.

"I'm home!"

I turned around to see my dad dragging a deer behind him. He set it down on the mat before shaking the snow out of his fur.

"And I just cleaned up." My mother shook her head before getting more towels.

I walked over to my dad and bent down so I could be face to face.

"Hey honey," He gave me a kiss on the nose, "can you carry this out back to the shed?"

I nodded, pulling on my boots and coat before grabbing the deer. Out through the back door, I could see the storm start to pick up. Snow was falling from the sky and the wind was picking them up and throwing them at my face.

The shed was exactly what it sounded like. A shed where we stored all our meat. I opened up the wooden door and prepared to set it in the freezer for the night, keeping it fresh for tomorrow when we would skin it.

A scream pierced the air.

"Mom? Dad?" I ran out of the shed to see the house on fire. How had I not smelled it? I ran towards the cabin, yelling for my family before being cut of.

Right in front of me was midnight black wolf, its eyes and teeth glinting. It made some growls, stalking towards me.

"Mom? Dad?" I squeaked out. The wolf made a chuckle before continuing its way towards me. "Stay away from me!" My claws elongated as I tried to take a swipe at his nose. Now it just looked angry. It leaped into the air, sure on killing.

I dodged his paws and shifted into my snow leopard, ripping my clothing in the process. Running towards the cabin, I continued to yell for my family. The wolf nipped at my paws, sure I was going to stop once I reached the cabin. But I didn't.

I lept through the broken window and into the flaming cabin.

"Mom! Dad! Tommy!" I yelled out. The fire licked at my fur, daring me to touch it.

"Clara!"

"Tommy?" I dodged piles of fire, making my way to the bathroom, "Tommy!"

"Clara! I'm stuck!"

In front of the door were boards that had fallen from the ceiling. And they were on fire.

Crap.
