"Momyyy!!!" The little girl said with a big smile on her face as she ran into her mothers embrace.
"Hows my little girl?" Maddie asked her daughter as she picked her up and placed her on her hip.
"Good! Guess what, guess what?" Emily asked as she bounced in her mothers embrace.
"What Em?" Maddie asked with a laugh
"I painted you a pitcher today and gave Red a bath!!"
Walking into the kitchen Maddie set Emily on the counter as she got out a pan and placed it on the stove.
"That's great sweaty! Can you show me your picture after dinner?" The mother said with a smile
"Yea! Momma? what are you making?"
"Grilled cheese. Sound good?"
"I Love Grilled Cheese!!"
Maddie laughed at her daughters enthusiasm. Cutting the grilled cheese in squares she placed the sandwiches at the table and set Emily on the ground for she could get down.
After they both ate and did the dishes with a bubble fight Emily showed her mother the drawling of her and her mom and their puppy Red.
"I love it Em, Thank you." Bending down she gave a kiss on the top of her head and then lifted her up for she could put the picture on the refrigerator.
Emily tucked her daughter into bed after reading her a bed time story and began to sing her a lullaby as she brushed a strand of hair from her forehead
Close your eyes my sleepy child
Don't let a teardrop fall
There is no need to cry child
There is no need at all
Dry your eyes and sleep now
Let your sweet dreams flow
And when you rise know that I'll be near
Because I love you s----.

But was cut short when glass shattered and five rogues attacked the innocent mother and child. Leaving behind a destruction that was so horrible that people could swear they still heard the screaming.

I bolted up in bed, sweat covered my body and my breathing was erect. No matter how many times I witness the future of other people's death I never can get used to it. I'm a werewolf and our goddess has gifted every wolf with a power, from being able to make someone smile to a touch of a hand bringing death. Some say its a gift but others say its a curse.
I see the death of people, werewolf's and humans, and I have a small chance to stop it from happening. Some times I see the death of people that are happening in the moment. It has taken me years to realize when I can save someone and when its happening when I'm seeing it.
This time, unfortunately, it was just taken place and there is nothing I can do to stop it except try and find the rogues who have done this.
Getting out of the hammock I pulled on my boots and grabbed my pack. Its still dark out but with being a wolf I can see just find.
Fist step is finding the families home, I should be able to pick up their scents from there. I'm a lone wolf that has been traveling since I was 10 years old.
Nothing was left of my pack, it was attacked by hunters. My Father was the Alpha and I was next in line to take his place but the chance of that happening was destroyed when everyone except me was murdered.
