"Have I told you about the story of the Wolf and the Rabbit?" Koro asked as he watched the fireplace.

Seishin, Ender, Ike and Cassiel sat in a circle around their father, their mother was in the kitchen, she was making cookies.

"Koro, that might be a little scary for them, how about a more simple story?" She asked, her dark brown eyes watched him.

"I think they are old enough! And they need to know about that story sooner than later." Koro replied, he smiled and looked at the children.

"All right then, you may tell them the story but if they become scared I am not sleeping in the bed all night with them, you are." She said with a cold stare,  then she took out the cookies from the small oven.

"I'm old enough dad! I'm almost 7 years old!" Seishin said as he pointed to himself and stuck his tongue out at Ender.

Ender rolled her eyes and flicked Seishin on the head, "Just because you're the oldest doesn't mean that you're The most mature one here." She said with an annoyed voice.

Ike was watching his mother, she was humming a song, her voice was like an angel's voice.

Cassiel was watching the fire, she was in deep thought.

"Ok children, settle down now, we don't want to get to hyper." Koro said with a kind voice, he leaned forward.

-Start music now-

"Now I shall start the story.. the story of the wolf and the rabbit." Koro said, the lights dimmed, the fire grew as he spoke.

"In this world it is divided by light and the darkness.." he paused to let his wife take a seat next to Ender and hand out cookies.

"I want you to remember that, because one day you're going to have to make a decision, to be on the light side or the Darkside, you can't pick both. And sometimes the dark outweighs the good and the light outweighs the bad, this world isn't perfect.

Now lets begin, Long ago there was a wolf,  he refused to kill because he wanted to be good, everyone said that he was a wolf, he had to kill.

But he was so sure he was good that he left his pack, he decided that he would not kill for them.

He was determined to be good, he wouldn't let his appearance get to him.

He left his pack, he didn't want to be the blood thirsty killers like them, he was an outcast, a lone wolf, a... lost soul.

But as the night grew colder and the days grew longer he was on the verge of death.

He couldn't stop himself. He had to eat. He would die if he didn't eat.

So he went out, he looked for many long hours, then he saw something, a rabbit. then the rabbit soon noticed him and ran for it's life.

He ran after it, he didn't want to. He couldn't help it, the fear, it pleased him. It made him happy. He couldn't stop.

He sunk his teeth into the rabbit, the crimson blood fell on the white snow, making the pure white snow stained with blood and sins.

The rabbit tried to escape but the wolf caught up to it. The rabbit fell to the ground, it was shaking from fear, it closed its eyes, not wanting to look into the dark soul of the wolf.

In his last attempt of being good he walked up to the rabbit and laid next to it, he closed his eyes. He didn't want to do this, was this he only option?

The rabbit was shaking in fear, it couldn't move, it's leg was injured.

But the wolf was so hungry, he couldn't contain himself.
