Fate can be cruel

Chapter 1

                  

On a cold winter's night I lay down on my bed thinking back to earlier today. I remember fleeing into the bathroom after hearing voices suddenly getting louder and louder. I don't know what's happening to me, I'm so confused. I have always been an outcast, people are always scared of me. Except my best friend Ruby who understands me better than anyone. The more I think, the more I drift off into a restless sleep. I always dream of wolves. I can almost feel the wind on my face and smell the pine trees from the dark forest in my dreams. For some reason it feels like home which is really weird. Suddenly I wake up with pain radiating throughout my whole body. It burns through my veins like fire and I scream.

"Mum help me!" I cried out when fur started to sprout from my arms and legs.

"Jewel! What's wrong!" shouted mum over my screams.

"I feel like..." I started to say but the rest came out as whimpering and whining.

I can hear her rush to the door as my hands turned into paws and my nose grows longer. I shut my eyes until the pain was over. I opened my eyes and tried to stand up but all I did was fall over. I had four legs! I looked over at my mirror across the room and saw a chestnut wolf with a love heart shape over her eye and white socks. I move my head and so does the wolf.

"Honey, are you.......shit!" my mum exclaims as she sees the wolf on my bed, well ok, me. I whimper at her and plead with my eyes for her help.

"Darling I know your scared and don't know what's happening but I am going to get someone who can explain and help you," my mum finally said and with that she left the room. I lay my wolf head down on my bed and closed my eyes.

Bang! The noise of the front door slamming jolted me awake. I look over and see the wolf staring at me and I knew it wasn't a dream. I was really a wolf.

"Why didn't you tell me she was close to phasing!" shouted a strange man.

"I didn't know," my mum said defiantly.

"Couldn't' you smell the wolf on her" he yelled.

I let out a bark as I jumped off my bed. I wobbled and then got my balance. I walked over to the door and tried to force it open. I growled at the door for not letting me open it. The door was pushed open suddenly and I snarled at the unknown man.

"Don't come in here Diana," he whispered.

"Sshhh, I will not harm you. Calm yourself Jewel." He spoke soothingly. But I didn't trust him. He yelled at my mum.  I bared my teeth at him and let off a sound that terrified me as well as the strange man.

"Well at least I know she is an Alpha or Beta," he whispered to himself.

Then all of a sudden he started sprouting fur and claws til a black wolf stood in front of me. I snarled and growled at the wolf. The wolf did the same and lunged forward and knocked me to the ground

Jewel stop this now!

I freaked after hearing the voice in my mind. But I needed an explanation so I replied.

Who are you?

I am Dalton, Leader of your pack and your Uncle, he replies

What am I? I ask

You are a werewolf

I don't want to be a werewolf

If you are calm I'll let you go and I can explain any questions you have

Ok

He let me up and I sat down and waited.

Why have I never met you?
