Rings of The Pack

Chapter One: Wake up

~{Victoria's POV}~

My name is Victoria. I live...Well to be perfectly honest I really don't know where I am or where I'm from. The weird thing is that my Sapphire ring is glowing softly, my memory is a blank, and when under the water I wasn't drowning I was breathing like...like a fish. I have a sword in my left hand. The sword was long and silver a little rusty.

'How long have I been under' I thought.

Across my back a black leathery quiver with about six to seven arrows rested in the water drenched. A bow across my chest made of red wood. In my right hand I clutched a brown leather dog collar which led me to many thoughts. I put the silver sword my quiver so I can swim better. I then put the collar on my belt loop. I look in the distance about ten yards away a broken boat was drifting in the water peacefully it when up and down in the waves. I swam in the direction but it felt like I was wasting my time doing it.

I felt a sharp biting pain in my right calf screaming in agony as the pain got more horrendous by the second. Venom charged this pain. I was then pulled down the salt water burning, everything was blurry, my eyes sting with pain as I went down. There was something through the blurriness.

With a struggle I pulled out the silver sword gashing through the shape that was pulling me down. It then released me and I floated up to the surface slowly. I wast far down. I looked around to sight any predator of hostile fish under the water. Seeing no movement i put the sword back in the soaked leathery quiver? I went in some circles and started to swim to the boat. I swam and started to push myself but I felt like I was just wasting my energy. It felt like a wall was blocking me or gravity was pulling me away. My leg stinging, throbbing from the pain.

Stopping myself, the boat started to drift closer to me. I dove down and I came up next to the boat and climbed in.The boat had three holes hole each six-seven inches wide but yet it didn't sink. There was a motor but I wasn't sure if the gas tank was full or not. There was an extra gas container half way full, a backpack and a large black hoody. Two-three rusty nails tossed and turned to the waves beating the ocean.

I needed some medal or wood to fix the boat. I scoped out the area with no sight of any drift wood or floating metal scraps. A small board. A piece was about were I had stared. I

"Glad this boats go an acre to keep it in relative place... How long is it?"

While in the boat I saw something unnatural in the water it was...a large tail, but it was not like whale or something liked that it was like a mermaid tail only stranger. I went on to the wood but felt unsecure like something was going to happened. I had put that "fish thing" thought aside, and started fixing the boat, in about 30 minutes I finished fixing the boat but I still had a feeling something was going on and it wasn't good. As I was finishing I swam under the water to place the last nail in and got another blurry image. approached the rope that was hanging on the side of the boat, when I felt a small cold puff of air and it smelled a horrible sent of dead fish the back of my neck. I turn and there's nothing there but some ripples in the water.

"It's nothing Victoria... it's nothing." I said to my self. But there was something wrong I felt it in my gut.

I slowly approached the bag. Opening it slowly, I was unsure what could be waiting for me inside. The first thing I touch is papery and a little wet. It was a note I thought it's was from my parents but how? Who are my parents? The bag held a non working compass, a map, a bottle of water, and a picture of some wolves and a few other animals.

"What would I do with a picture, a picture?" I mumbled under my breath.

When I looked at the picture my mind shot to one thought 'why is a wolf wearing my ring on its neck'. Funny thing is my ring is the same as the blue ring in the picture. A simple 5 karate sapphire engraved in silver. After a while I decided to start the motor. It took me an hour to figure out how to make the motor run but now I'm headed to somewhere. I just hoped it would be land.

On the way I looked at the note in the backpack.

"Dear Victoria. We are sorry we didn't tell you sooner. We had to leave you for your own safety. We will explain everything once your home. Sincerely Mother, Father."

After that I thought for a while wonder who left me all the things in the bag? My mother and father? Why the ocean? Why now? What's with the wolf?

Little did I know that wasting time thinking would cause a chain of things to happen!
