I was sitting in my mother's arms on the grass. She was singing to me while father smiled, showing his fangs, but worry crossed his face. The bright blue sky began to darken. Wind wipping my mother's hair onto me. His claws began to show and her eyes going red. She gave me to Father and he ran.
A scream.
Her scream

I woke with a start, cold sweat covering my body. I was panting and shaking.
This nightmare has been haunting  my nights since I first shifted.
I knew it was my parents on the day they lost me because of the photo of them holding me in that meadow.
I don't know who they were or what they are. I am a slave in to the wolves, a prisoner found once 17 years ago.

I know when my birthday is because I am a mix of... I'm not quite sure but I know I'm part wolf. My shift was one week ago, signifying my exact 17th year. I only found that side of me then. Before then, I was just the unpayed servant, given only gruel and a sorry closet as my quaters.

They say they caught me and my father together in the woods. No sign of my mother. In their eyes my father was a traitor, in the land of those unknown.
And that a maid who raised me kept the picture for me until she put it in the locket I hide. She hasn't been seen her in years.
