Chapter One
My phone buzzed and I looked up from my homework. My phone was an old fashioned Nokia. My mum said that if it broke I could get a new phone, but there was a thing about Nokias. They did not break. I looked at the text. It was from my best friend Matilda.
Hey Amber, do u wanna come over this arvo? My parents r out of town.
I pushed all the loose sheets of homework away from myself and they all fell down the back of my desk. I let out an esparated sigh.
'I'll just pick them up later'
I told myself, although I knew there was a very fat chance that that would happen. I would most likely forget about it and give some wild excuse to my teacher for why I didn't have it.
I put my phone into my jean pocket. It poked out of the pocket like a sore thumb and its bulkyness wasn't comfortable against my thigh.
"Mum! I'm going over to Matilda's house!" I shouted.
"Ok sweet heart!!!" she shouted back.
"I'm not that sweet" I muttered as I walked out of the back door.
Matilda's house was just down the road. If you didn't count the stretch of woods behind my house. I could use the front door but I would have to walk down thousands of wavy, wonky roads and alleyways, which I was NOT about to do. I had no clue who could be lurking in those shadows and what they could do to me. And to tell the truth, I would not stand a chance against them. I wish that the woods were replaced by a nice path that connected Matilda's house and mine but,unfortunately, the woods were there and I did have to go through them if I wanted to get to Matilda's house.
Still better then the alleyways.
Every time I go through these woods I think of the wolf who had watched me 3 years ago. That was when I was 10 and her piercing gaze had stuck with me all those years.
I did like the woods though. It's a peaceful place, birds chirping, bees buzzing and hundreds of species of animal running in all directions. But if you said the word 'woods' to me the first thought that would pop into my head would not be the peaceful woods with birds, bees and animals, it would be the moarnful howl every night of a single wolf. Who I now call:
The Wolf With Scarlet Eyes...
A/N:
It's starting >.<
I now have a special little alone time to write my stories. On the bus every Tuesday. So do expect weekly updates. The main character is a girl, because I wanted to keep the same plot and not disfigure the story I wrote when I was 10... or 12... something like that and turn it into a romance. My young self wouldn't want that. Hope you undersand.
