The Wolf's Cry

Stars twinkled brightly surrounding a glorious full moon. A single spark bolted from the moon and plummeted towards the earth. A single brilliant silver flame erupted once the falling star hit the earth. Within the crater, that was carved deep with in the forest, slumbered a creature as white as the snow that falls in deep winter. Striking silver markings threaded throughout its fur. Its ears and paws looked as if they had been dipped in the blue of the ocean. The creature gained conscious and gazed up at its former home. The large moon loomed high over head in a mocking manner. Taunting the fallen and smothering the creature in cold heartedness. The creature raised its muzzle full of daggers and howled a song full of hurt and mourning.

Through out the years, this creature had been gifted the name Alchil, a high demon that wanders the earth looking for love and vengeance. Loosing his throne in the kingdom, Alchil strives to claim the hearts of humans and regain his throne in the heavens.

Beware of the frosted wolf.

I glanced up at the looming forest that surrounded a wooden cabin.

"Sir, are you sure that this was a good idea?" I asked.

I turned towards a plump man in his mid forties. He took off his thick-rimmed glasses and wiped them clean with his shirt.

"Of course, Miss Forester. This was in your grandparents will," the man said. "Now, if I could just get you to sign a few papers regarding the new ownership and such."

I sighed and looked back to my new home.

"Alright then."

I was gifted this cabin and the surrounding property as a gift from my grand parents for my seventeenth birthday. They had mentioned something about having my own place and finding love, but I couldn't see that happening way out in the middle of this forest. My school is a few miles from here, that I have to now walk too. Buses wouldn't come this way for some reason. It's such a pain!

"Well, then Miss Forester, welcome to your new home!" the man announced as he folded the signed papers up and stuffed them in a small briefcase. "Have a good day then, miss!"

The man loaded up the briefcase into his car and quickly got in before he set off down the long drive.

I held up the keys in front of my face and sighed. I turned and walked up to the front door, unlocked it and pushed it open.

A strong pair of arms wrapped themselves around my neck in a mock choke hold.

"Hey, ya, Mira!" yelled a voice in my ear.

"Jeeze, Adriel, why do you have to be so loud in the morning? It's annoying!" I exclaimed, plugging my ears.

"Oh, come on, you know you love me," he replied, pretending to sulk.

"I have known you for years and I swear, you will never grow up."

"Haha! You wound me, Mira!"

Adriel Mansion is a smart and cunning young man. He is also my best friend since childhood.

Adriel smirked, his brilliant blue eyes sparkled with mischief.

"What are you planning now?" I asked, rolling my eyes.

"Heh, I heard that there is a new student teacher in history. Heard she's pretty cute," he exclaimed.
