A Tale of Tails

A powerful will

Tear Grayson, a 16 year old boy with not to many friends and not very talkative, pretty tall compared to other people his age. He has a lot of hobbies that most people would find strange, like forest exploring, meditation, and river fishing.

Tear wears mainly black clothes with gray pants in almost any time of year. On rare/special occasions he'll wear white.

Tear was also visionly impaired, he had to wear glasses, and he wore a pair of red glasses that ,when at night, seemingly glowed.

On night when Tear was walking around the forest at around 7 P.M., he found a strange light blue wolf, it seemed friendly. When the wolf started to walk away, Tear followed it.

After a long walk the wolf disappeared near an abandoned cabin. It started to get dark out so Tear started to walk home when he heard a voice. "No, don't go, we need your help." It sounded like a woman, Tear turned around.

"Who's there? Who is We?" Tear said, not even frightened. A woman and male teenager wearing torn clothing walked up to Tear.

"We need your help, you seem willing." The woman said. "What do you need he-" Tear said before being cut off by the teenager, "We need your help against the Hunters, or at least that's what we call them. You see, we are a ancient race of werewolves that protect the people in the forest or people being attacked by the hunters."

"Alright, I'm in." Tear said "But if this is a prank, you'll regret it."

The woman smiles and proceeds to climb up a tree and then jump into a hole in the roof of the cabin, The teenager goes through the front door, Tear follows the teenager.

"Alright, now in order to become a werewolf, you need to drink the blood of a werewolf." The teen said, walking up to a stone bowl connected to a pedestal. He pulled out a dull knife then the woman started to transform, she grew in size, her head became larger as fangs grew in her mouth, fur sprouted from her body as the clothes she wore stretched. Tear cringed as he could hear the woman's bones stretching and changing.

The woman, now in a werewolf form, lifted one of her arms over the bowl and the teen cut her arm causing her to bleed into the bowl, the cut was very small because of the strength of werewolf skin.

Tear walked up to the bowl. The teen said "when you drink the blood you will pass out due to the body's reaction of a whole new form entering you, then we will be in you back to the edge of the forest. When you are ready to train in your new wolf form, just come back here."

Tear stared at the blood. He took a deep breath, cupped his hands around the blood, and drank it. As the teen said Tear passed out, when he woke up the light was almost completely gone, he checked his watch to see that it was 8:30. He walked home which was only a block away, wondering if that all really happened.

"Huh? Was it all..." Tear said as he looked up at the stars "Just a dream?"
