               In the midst of my slumber I heard a high pitched scream, So I groggily open my eyes. In front of my sleepy eyes I see a tiny girl. I take in a small sniff of air, and by her scent I can tell she's human. I can also smell fear on her. She must be scared of me; I am twenty times her size,and in wolf form. Being just woken up, I yawn, accidentally showing off my pointy, sharp teeth. I hear that high pitched scream again, and blink open my eyes to see the tiny girl running away.' Oh, crap...' I think to myself.

I quickly get up from my lying position and chase her. I catch up with her easily and engulf her in my wolf paws. I sit up on my haunches, like a dog begging for food. I feel the tiny girl squirm against the pads of my paws. The tiny girl starts to sob. The smell of fear is now overwhelming my sense of smell. Sighing I close my eyes and transform into my Human self. I open my hands so I can look at this girl, She has fair skin, light blue eyes, and brown hair. She is wearing a slightly muddy yellow dress. She Is still crying, and I don't think she has realized I look human now. " SHhhhhhh... It's ok little one, I won't harm you."

I say, opening my hands so they are like a platform for the tiny girl. She looks up at me with shock on her face. Upon realizing that she is still captured in a giant's grasp she says, " P-please D-don't eat M-me!"

Well ouch, my feeling are now bruised at that stereotype. I bring her closer to my blood colored eyes. I rumble, " Well, I just might eat you, I am feeling slightly hungry."

hearing this the girl starts to uncontrollably sob and the smell of fear in the air increases. Well fuck, now I feel guilty. " I'm sorry I didn't mean that, like I said before, I won't harm you." I murmur to the girl.

" W-WHY SHOULD I-I B-BELEVE Y-YOU YOU Y-YOU...YOU MONSTER!" I just blinked at this girl. She just yelled that I was a monster, I can't help but think to myself ' I'm not a monster, am I?' I sadly look at this girl and whine " I am not a monster..."

"Yes y-you are, why else would you pick me up and T-threaten t-to eat me?!" She replied, Which just made my heart feel sad. Lowering my hands to the ground I sadly mumble, " I'm sorry, I was just joking." As my hands touch the ground she jumps of, runs and hides behind a tree. I crawl under a tree, that is just about twice my size. I couldn't help but curl into a ball with my eyes closed and start to sniffle. ' I am a monster; that girl is right, not only am I a werewolf, but I'm also thirty- two feet tall.' Feeling tears welling in my closed eyes I sniffle again, so I don't cry myself.

About five minutes later, I feel something soft touch the tip of my nose. The touch kinda tickles my nose, so I scrunch up my face and sniffle again. While I'm scrunching up my face I hear a small squeak. The squeak makes me open my eyes and I see the tiny girl in front of my face. " Um, hi? I-i'm s-sorry I called y-you a m-monster" The tiny girl said. The same soft ticklish feeling on the tip of my nose returned as the girl put her hand delicately on it. I once again scrunch up my face and she instantly takes her hand of my nose and shakily stuttered, "S-sorry!"

I chuckled with a small sniffle and heartbrokenly say, " Its ok... I guess, I kinda am a monster... I am giant compared to you..." She sits down in front of my nose " I s-shouldn't have judged you b-because of your s-size, or the f-fact you were a wolf when I f-first met y-you. What, what the hell are you?!?!" Her eyes were now wide, because she yelled the last part of what she said. " I-I'm so-sorry...." At her latest apology I couldn't help but to burst out laughing. This shocked the girl. Still half laughing I answer the girl's question, " Well I am a werewolf, and well a giant one at that. Now little human girl what are you doing in these woods, they're dangerous,, didn't you know?" She seemed shock. " How do you know I'm a human? I-I could h-have been a witch o-or a changeling! I got lost in these wood..."

With a small but forceful sniff I answered her question " I know you're a human because of my nose, I got a powerful sense of smell." After I finished my sentence she put her hand back on my nose and I forced my face not to scrunch.

" your sense of smell is powerful because you're a werewolf? Also aren't werewolves extinct?" Werewolves are supposed to be extinct, and the size of humans, I guess I'm a freak."Yes and yes" I answer her questions, then I ask my own" can you move your hand from my nose? It tickles." With a small squeak she removed her hand. I moved my own hand up to my nose and gave it a rub. " thanks" I said. She just nodded her head.

Remembering that I didn't introduce myself I said. " Since we don't know each other I guess I'll introduce myself, I'm...erm....well...Wolfy..." I couldn't help but mutter the last part of my phrase sheepishly. I hate my name.

" I-I like your name...Wolfy, My name is Rayn" The Girl's name, I mean, Rayn's name was a cool name, unlike my mocking name. I smile at Rayn. " I like your name...But I hate my own." I mumble the last part while slightly playing with my almost golden hair. Rayn's face only had confusion written on it. " why do you hate your name? Your parents gave you a cute name." I had to go crossed eyed to look at this girl while said " I don't remember my parents, the only reason I know my name is because of the bracelet on my wrist" She the looked at my wrist that was lazily lying on the ground, and saw a bronze bracelet that said, hi my name is Wolfy. " O-oh I'm s-sorry." Rayn mumbled. I barely heard her.

I smiled at her and retorted, " It's fine, I'm always lonely, but it is fine..." She looked at me sadly before looking down and started playing with her hands. This made me confused. " If y-you want I-I could m-make you less lonely. It may take me a-awhile to get used to y-your size but I'll b-be your f-friend." At her remark I give her the brightest smile I smiled in a long time, and she gave a small timid smile back. I can't believe this, in all my seventeen years of existence I never thought I'd make a friend. My smile grew brighter as I saw her timid smile.
