Destiny and Desire

Bad Dream

I stripped and started to shift, pure white fur started to grow from my tanned skin, my canines became elongated and my bones started to move and stretch into a new form, I was soon a massive white wolf. I walked over to Craig. He turned round with piercing red eyes and a smirk.

"Let's hunt" he said before he sprinted into the woods leaving a trail of dust behind him. I howled and ran after him, I got a mind link up with him

"Craig slow down" I thought to him.

"Babe that never ceases to amaze me" he smiled stopping next to me.

Frozen in awe of my gift.

Suddenly his head snapped round to look at something in the distance, he sniffed the air and ran into the woods. I sighed and found a clearing by the lake not wanting to see him hunt. I waited for about five minutes before he walked towards me with what smelt like deer blood all over his mouth. I winced at the putrid smell and the disturbing thought of Craig killing the animal. He sighed and wiped his mouth clean.

"Sorry babe. " he said sadly. I know he doesn't like who he is so I walked towards him and nuzzled into his neck, he took a deep breathe in and wrapped his arms around my neck.

After a while of running, talking and playing we decided it was time to head home. We ran to my care home and kissed goodbye. I then climbed up the wall and snuck into my room through the open window.

I lay in my bed, sleep soon washed over me but before long my peaceful sleep was taken over by the memory that had haunted my dreams for years.

*DREAM*

the school bell ran and I exited the classroom and made my way home.

When I arrived I walked straight through the unlocked door and placed my bag down in the hallway.

"Mum, Dad! I'm home!" I called out but was met by a deafening silence.

"Mum? Dad?" I asked but again there was no response. I made my way cautiously to the living room. I entered the room only to be stopped dead in my tracks, I fell to my knees as it felt like all the air had just been knockabout me. I chocked as I tried to inhale, I blinked over and over like I was expecting to wake up and find out it was all a dream but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't get the picture of the disfigured bloody corpse that lay in front of me. I reached out and picked up the bloody name tag that said Harry:my dads name. I cried out and covered my mouth with my hand.

"Lupa" someone called snapping me out of my dazed state I turned and ran to the kitchen where I found a trail of blood which lead me to my mothers pale body.

"Mum! What happened? Who did this?" I screamed now in full hysterics.

"Lupa baby, there's no time," she whispered and just as he said that a banging noise came from upstairs.

"Lupa drink this, it will hide your scent from them and they won't be able to find you" she said handing me a glass vile with blue liquid inside. I drank it quickly a the noises got louder.

"Mum what do I do?" I asked her panicked.

"Lupa you are destined for great things, things that can't happen unless you get out now! And run as far away from here as you can" she hurried.

"But mummy I need you! Don't leave me" I whimpered as I cried, a tear slipped down my mothers white cheek.

"Go, be safe and make your dad and I proud" she coughed up some blood.

"And remember, we will always love you" she whispered before falling limp and closing her eyes.

" no mum! Wake up!" I cried.

"Please I need you!" I yelled. The noises came closer. I quickly kissed each of my mothers eye lids

"Rest in peace mum" I said before running to the back door, the noises approached the top of the stairs. I turned around one last time and whispered.

"I love you too." And with that I ran into the Forrest not looking back once and not stopping for anything, I hit trees and tripped on roots, earning me scratches and bruises but I didn't stop running until my legs just couldn't carry me anymore. I collapsed and cried my little 14 year old heart out. But all to soon my sorrow and sadness went only to be replaced by anger. All I saw was red. My body started to shaking at the thought of the bastards that killed my parents. My knuckles turned white as I clenched my fists. I let out a loud growl as my bones stared to crunch, twist and break into a new form, my teeth ripped through my gums causing them to bleed, Snow White fur sprouted from my skin shining like crystals and before I knew it I had fully transformed into a white wolf with blood oozing out of my mouth. A twig snapped behind me and I turned round to face the woods, my eyes narrowed at the empty space. I got up a mind link which I didn't even know I could and commanded the person to come out. A boy stepped out with wide eyes.

"How can you read minds? and communicate through them?" He asked stunned making me giggle.

He smiled at me cheekily and made his way towards me.

" you're beautiful." He said making me blush and turn away he chuckled.

He then took off his shirt showing the start of a nice six pack making me blush again.

"Here go shift and put this on" he offered and I took it in my mouth. I went behind a tree and after a few tries managed to shift back and put on his shirt which went down to just under my bum. I went out and sat next to him.

"Hey babe." He greeted me and I just stared at him.

"What are you?" I asked. Once I realised what I said I covered my mouth.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so so-" he cut me off with a laugh.

"It's okay babe, don't worry about it and to answer your question... I'm a vampire" he looked down like he was ashamed.

" why are you sad?" I asked him moving closer, he sighed and looked at me with eyes of such sadness that it made me want to hold him and never let go.

"I'm a monster" he whispered.

"My parents they killed humans for their blood. Even from a young age I didn't think it was right but I was made to hunt and kill them. " he sobbed.

"Im a murderer" he cried.

"But when they died I started just hunting animals but every now and then I get the urge to bite a humans neck and taste the sweet blood that flows in their soft veins..." His eyes started to turn red, I was scared but did the first thing that came to mind, I slapped him. He looked shocked but then thanked me.

"Anyway, your a were-wolf, how long for?" He asked me and I sighed as the memory of earlier today played in my mind.

"From today actually, I came home from school to find out my parents had been murdered but just before my mother died she told me to run and I did and I got angry and turned into a wolf. " I was crying at the loss of my parents, he hugged me and soothed me as I cried. When I pulled away I took in his appearance; he had brown windswept hair, blue eyes and was quite a bit taller than me.

"Wait, so you don't have a home?" He asked me and I shook my head he smiled that breath taking smile.

"Come live at my care home?!" He asked me and I nodded eagerly. He took my hand and lead the way...

*END OF DREAM*

I woke with a smile on my face remembering the night that I met Craig for the first time. I did go and live at his care home but after a while I was moved away and split from Craig but we were soon reunited when we transferred to the same school and that is when we started our relationship and we are still going strong.

We know two other vampires but no matter how hard we search we never find any were-wolves.
