Forever

The Beginning

My name is Anabela Lee and this story is about my life and how one day changed it forever. This all started on one morning I will never forget. I was running through the woods with no shoes on in a pair of ripped pants and a baggy T-shirt. The people chasing me were getting close, I could hear the dogs barking getting louder. I know I could never out run them. Why are they chasing me you ask? Well I'm kind of a thief, I've been stealing from them for years and this morning I stole some eggs from some chickens and got caught and now they want to kill me. I keep running until I hear the river, I see the cliff and look behind me to see that they all stopped, the dogs were cowering. I look to my left to see something that was thought to be only myth and fantasy. A huge mangy grey werewolf foaming at the mouth looking straight at me. Before I had time to think it lunges and attacks my neck and shoulder, I let out a horrible scream of pain. The villagers are still standing there in shock, I reach around trying to find something to get the werewolf off, I finally found a rock. I bash the rock over its head trying to make it let go. It finally does I grab the dagger from my boot that I've had forever, I ready myself for the second attack. Sure enough the beast lunges again, I stab it in the side as it bits my leg. Pulling out the dagger and plunging it into the top of its head, the beast let go of my leg and fell down dead. I don't know what I was thinking but I knew that I wasn't going to let the people take the beast body and I wasn't going to let them capture me. Taking out the lighter I had in my pocketing light it and throw it onto the beast body, it goes up in flames instantly. I turn toward the cliff and look down at the rushing water, I look back to see the villagers through the flames, I smile and jump.
