He walks towards the little girl and she cowers back. I walk into the alley, being as quiet as possible but I step on a rock and almost trip. The little girls eyes flit towards me and back to the man. I grab my knife from my pocket and run towards him. He turns around but it's to late to do anything; I slash his good eye before he can get out of the way. He's a big muscular man, he has an eye patch over one eye, and tattoos covering scars all over his arms; I happen to know him. I'm the one who made him need the first eyepatch. He growls, yes growls, and starts changing. Growing fur and his nose elongates. Soon he's a 6 foot long wolf growling as he walks towards me. I look around looking for something to jump off of, all it see are walls and a garbage bin. Perfect. I start running towards it and flip landing on the top. I scream getting his attention and turn myself into my form; a small wolf with sharp teeth. My whirls his head at the noise and try's to follow me but hits the bin with his head because he can't see. The bin shakes and I jump off to the side of him, I take the opportunity to slash his side. He howls and turns, slashing the side of my neck in the process. I bite his neck and tear his throat out. He collapses and I turn back into my human form. I walk over to the little girl still cowering in the corner. "Hi, what's your name?" I say, she looks at me and whispers, "Alie. Please don't hurt me," those words break my heart. My parents used to beat my brother and I, when my mom had our little sister we ran away with her so she didn't have to go through the same things. "I won't hurt you, where do you live? I can take you home." She frowns, "He killed my mommy and daddy." I look at her, "Do you want to come to my house?" She nods and stands up. "How old are you?" I ask, "5." She states, she's small for 5. "When did he get you?" I ask, worried. "5 months ago I think... what month is it?" "January 11." She nods, "He killed my parents about 6 months ago..." I look worried at her, "Ok. Well I'm Nia, at my house I have my brother Michael and my little sister Alecia." I pick her up and start walking, she squirms a little at first then calms down. I walk to my house and unlock the door. "Micheal! Are you home?" My little sister and my brother walk down the steps, Alecia runs over and hugs my leg. I smile and squat down. I let Alie down and hug Alecia. "Who's this Nia?" Micheal ask, Alecia looks over and looks taken aback "Hi!" She says smiling, "This is Alie, Alie this is Micheal and Alecia." Alecia talks to Alie and they go upstairs to play. "Micheal..." I start, "No, she can't stay." I pout, "She has nowhere to go. Her parents died and Chris had her for months! I don't know what happened with them but she needs us, please?" He looks at me. "We'll take her to a shelter." I stare at him, "No, she's clearly been hurt. No." Alecia runs in, "We'll talk about this later." Michael says to me. "We're hungry, can you make us something to eat?" She says. "How about Pizza?" I say. She nods and runs to ask Alie what kind of pizza.
