Revenge

Chapter 1: Today

I am 13 and still living in the forest today, still running from the monsters who killed my brother. I intend on killing them all, eliminating the pack and possibly their species. What they did to him is unforgivable, he was like my father. When I was around 5 and my brother 9 my father tried to kill my mother....he did not succeed. My mother loved me,so much so that she would risk her life for me. My father went for me next, most likely so that my mother would give him her life in return for my brother and I safe. He had a knife in his hand, he held it to my throat and just before he could cut, Jacob put a bullet in his head, ever since then we have been surviving together, or that was until three years ago.

As I wander through the forest I find a hut. It looks abandoned. I cautiously approach it only to find muddy footsteps. They seem fresh. I examine them, they seem to belong to a either small person, that is or a baby Bigfoot. I carefully step into the rickety old hut and find a years worth of supply's and beautifully decorated rooms. That must mean someone is living here. After a minute of thinking I decide that I will stay and see if I can possibly make peace with the owner if this hut.

A long and painful hour passes by until I hear footsteps. I ready my bow and get in shooting position. A boy my age apears from the brush. I'm astonished by his handsomeness. He has beautiful chocolate brown hair and amazing light brown eyes. I foolishly fall not knowing how long it has been since I ate. He heard me and takes a large spear and points it at me. I scream as if I'm a small child. His eyes soften as he looks into my eyes with his own. " It's ok. I won't hurt you", he says kindly. I remain silent, not a word comes out of my mouth. " Here, come inside". He picks me up and gets me back onto my feet. I find myself falling again. " I'm sorry, but I can't walk", I say shyly. "It's fine, I'll just carry you". I can feel his muscles tighten as he grabs my weak body. We end up face to face. I can feel him looking deep into my soul just like that Alpha female from three years ago. He smiles at me and I feel him take a step towards the house. I find myself blacking out, fading away. Before I know it I'm unconscious.

I wake in a beautiful room with dark reds and soft oranges. There is music playing, sounds like....Green Day, the song is...is....American Idiot. My favorite song by them. I hear footsteps coming towards the room. It's the boy. He welcomes me with some pine needle tea, a common drink in the forest and easy to make. "Thank you", I say. "For what? It's just tea". he says with humor in his tone. "I mean for not killing me when you found me, out here I'm just more competition for you".

"Well it's not every day that you see a girl as pretty as you", he says with a smile. I smile shyly. I can't believe he's flirting with me, we just met. "What is your name?", I say bravely. "Jeremy, what is yours?" "Erica", I say nervously. "Well Erica, would you like something to eat?". I nod. I hurry after him to where we might call a kitchen. It's been at least three days since my last meal. He gives me some cooked rabbit(hey we are in the forest what do you expect). "How did you get the paint for the walls?" "I found them a couple years ago before....before....". "You don't have to continue" I say. After a long moment of silence he asks me, "So what is a girl like you doing in the forest?" I pause for a moment, a girl like me? "What do you mean a girl like me?!" "I mean a girl that is...so...beautiful", he says quickly, almost to prevent from affending me. "Oh I see", I say frustratedly. "Listen I'm sorry if I affended you, but you are beautiful". I remain silent, thinking about what he just said. Am I really beautiful? If I am than I have been misjudging myself, and Jacob, he always said I was beautiful, I never thought it was true.

After a long moment of silence I reply, "No I'm sorry, you were just being nice and thank you for saying that, it means a lot to me". After a short moment of silence he says, "I have drawers of clothes for you and there is a working shower and bathroom here if you need it. Oh, and you can stay as long as you want I don't mind sharing the house, it does get lonely out here". "Thank you, really I do appreciate everything you've done for me". "No problem", he says kindly.

As I search the neatly organized drawers, and I find panties. I'm puzzled as how he got these, but I could use some new ones. I decide to take a good shower and not the ones that I usually take in the river. I grab a towel that I found in a drawer and walk into the bathroom where I see the neat little pump and faucet used as a

shower. Before I undress I make sure he isn't around, coast is clear. I calmly strip off the dirty peices of cloth called clothing and feel the warm air I'm sourounded in. Even when completely naked I can comfortably stand in the air. I then look at the faucet and begin to pump water. I stand for about a minute waiting for the water to heat up. I then slowly climb into the soothing water and begin to scan all the different types of shampoos and body washes. I find a shampoo and matching body wash that smells like a candle at my old house.

When I have finished my shower I feel more clean than I have ever before. When I walk out I stumble into Jeremy (thank God I had a towel on). My face bursts into a glowing red, and so does his. My eyes grow wide and his as well. I quickly walk to my room and get dressed as soon as possible. When I walk out of my room I see Jeremy in the main room, unfortunately that is where I have to go. I need my weapons and supply's. As I nervously enter the room, he looks at me and says, "I am so sorry, I should have payed better attention....". "It's fine, lets just pretend it never happened".
