Prologue- The Run

Song- Ruelle: Dead of Night

************3*Years*Before*********

I breath heavily as adrenaline flows through my veins. The path starts to look familier. The smell of pine trees filled my nostrils.

The sound of water carries through my ears. Trees start to clear out as I reach my destination.

The water fall rains down, lead by smell of fresh water.

I was at full speed, I could hardly stop. My legs slowing down leading to a halt, I came to the edge of the rocky cliff. My paws clasped the dirt. Spots of mud scatter through my white fur, maybe it had rained and the ground was not yet dry.

I focus on my heart beat as I tried to shift back into my human form and I inhale deeply as I try to calm down. I stared at my moon ring, it's pale blue color glimmered in the moon light.

I leaned in closer to the edge of the cliff and watch as the waterfall illuminated in the moonlight. The water crashed against the boulders. I hang my legs down by the edge of the cliff.

I look up into the sky and watch as the clouds linger eastwards. I tilted my head, trying to catch any stars in the sky.

Tonight seemed like a starless night. I'm not surprised. It seems like every year on this day, the sky is starless, the clouds are more gray then usual, and it always rains. Rain hasn't come yet but I have a feeling it will as the air becomes more damp.

Or is it just me because I'm right by a waterfall. Well, this is one wonderful way to celebrate a birthday. Not only is today my birthday, but it's my mother's death anniversary.

Two years since she died. Two years since I heard her voice. Two years since I felt her touch. Two years of nothing.

Two years without her.

The feeling of emptiness and regret filled inside me.

The worst part that I still can't get over is that she left and is never coming back.

Because of me.

Of course there's my dad by my side but, he doesn't really know how to express his feelings with me. Especially to me.

My mother died because of me. Because of my mistake. I was so stupid., and careless. It should have been me to die, not her.

It was my thirteenth birthday. I was finally allowed to go on a run by myself.  That should have never happened. I accidentally crossed into vampire territory.

I never knew that if I did cross paths with them that I could be punished.

Meaning executed.

My parents got there just in time but right before I was supposed to die, my mother stopped King Darious Roy Al.

She stopped him before he could do anything.

The way that a vampire kills a werewolf is by biting them. They give us a venomous bite. We are not immune to their bite and as soon as they bite us, we die instantly.

A werewolf that I know barely survived it. They said the pain was excruciating. They have never felt something like that ever in their lives.

My mother knew the risk she was taking and she did it.

She volunteered to take my place.
