Running with the Wolves

The Adventure Begins

After the Blood Moon people kept their distance and teachers looked at me like I was a mistake. A week after the ball we would finally transform into wolves and go on a proper hunt. I was not happy with this since it included having to work with the likes of Brittany and now I didn't even bother tol reply to her comments. The only people I talked to were Tyrone, Leam, Jasper and Selena the closest friend I had except for Jasper of course he's my twin nothing can top that.

It was soon time for the hunt and I became anxious, first of all I was the only girl that was going to the hunt on account of the whole age thing, secondly what my brother said about a female's transformation scared me. What if I turned on them or something I'm different enough plus I have my attitude problems and anger issues. I tried not to think about it as we walked into the woods. I looked at the moon, what did you mean by I'm special. We walked into vast field bathed in moonlight. "You shouldn't try to force yourself to change", our teacher said, "It will come naturally just bask in the moonlight and let your feelings take control". "Let go of your anxiety and feel free", she said before turning into a snow white wolf. The boys around me transformed into wolves some didn't right away butbeventually transformed. My brother turned into a wolf with fur the same colour as his hair. Ok feel free let go of your anxieties that's easy enough right? I thought about all the fun I'd had since I got here and my family and my friends and I finally felt light hearted, gay, free. I was immediately covered in a warm light it surrounded me but it felt like it came from inside me. Like my happiness was to much to be contained in me and when I finally opened my eyes I knew I had changed. I was as jet black as my hair and I was loving it. It was like a whole new side of me I'd never known it was truly amazing. I looked for my brother and I that's when I saw a blue little wilo-the-wisp floating just at the edge of the forest. I knew I shouldn't have gone but I wanted to know the magic behind it, I wanted to solve the mysteries surrounding it and most of all I wanted to escape the rules and boundaries even if it was just for a little while. I run after it but it was eluding me, I run deeper and deeper into the forest till I didn't know where I was anymore. I was soo focused on the wisp any other thoughts were prevented from entering my mind.

It had led me to a miniature waterfall that was flowing into a small lake. I looked at my reflection wondering if I was looking at the same person I'd been last month. Then I heard someone whisper, "You have changed but you're still the same person". "Who said that", I asked. "Look in the lake pup", the voice said, "You'll learn all you need to know". I obeyed looking into the lake expecting a face to be in it. Instead of that it was cloudy before clearing out and I saw a huge demon raining terror on a small town. Then it shimmered and changed into another image, it was of my parents trapped in a dungeon along with my two older brothers. "Why are you showing me this", I asked, "What do you want from me". "Something big and sinister is stirring", the voice said, "Its even bigger than the spirits". "You have no idea how much potential you have", she continued, All you need to do is unlock it". "Go back to the hunt", she said, "When you decide call for the spirit of whispers and I will know what to do next". "I don't know how to get back", I said my lip trembling, "I didn't mark my way". She laughed softly, "Go through those trees and try not to think to much of your decision your choice will come naturally". I walked through the trees and sure enough I was back on the field. I went with them and actually caught a few hares but I couldn't shake the feelings of foreboding. What is going on?
