Hey guys, brand new book it is a werewolf one, I've wanted to do one like this for a while please enjoy xxx and comment your thoughts

"Sophie switch" the crowd fell silent, there was a faint whimpering in the background, Sophie stood up every one turned and stared at her leaving her petrified and forced to slowly stumbling across to the alcove every step made her cherry cheeks whiter and making her shake more and more as she stepped closer and closer towards the alcove, she made an attempt to run but the crowd pushed her back to the walk to her after life. Her breathing got heavier and heavier, she was almost panting.

Finally she came face to face with the alcove a fowl breath blew her hair out of place and almost blowing her over. The whimpering in the back ground turned into screams, I turned back in curiosity although I already knew it was probably her family, it was her mother with tears gushing from her eyes and she was violently trying to push through the guards. I turned my head forwards again, Sophie was now taking as little steps as possible, knowing they would be her last. With frustration the guard pushed her in and sealed the alcove opening with a huge sized bolder which thudded loudly behind her giving him a huge clue to where she was. I started counting in my head 1, 2, 3 still nothing, 8, 9, 10, "uh" a growl and a deadly snarl, it was close I thought to myself 5, 4, 3, 2, a scream was heard, along with a sound of flesh being ripped and claws scrapping against the hard cold stone walls which lay inside the monsters chamber.

"Phew" Phillip said unclenching the tension in his back, "For a second I thought that they were going to say summer, if they did I swear I would have taken that fluffy dog and knocked him out with my bare hands,"

"Yeah ok and next you will take on the loch-ness monster, you goldfish. Come on, she doesn't like you and if anything she hates you and even if you killed the wolf she would still hate you," I replied

"Well hatred is always the first sign of love so, ha, so I am going to run home and get all buff for summer, oh yea,"

Suddenly I heard a growl, it was coming from the alcove. I knew I was not supposed to get to close to the alcove, but nobody was around everyone had seemed to have deserted and plus it did not sound like the wolf it was lighter and less intimidating so I followed the sound around the right side of the alcove in till I saw a little crack in the wall, I picked at it a little, it crumbled away really quickly, "Gur" uh, the growl I thought to myself I peered through the hole I could not see it, it was too dark, but I could just make out what the room looked like, it appeared to be a circular shape cave with a dent in the floor and huge, peaked Stalactite were dangling of the celling with dainty droplets dancing of them, there was also crystal clear puddles of water splattered in random places across the floor.

I had decided I had seen enough and I defiantly did not want to get caught, so I started to wonder home as soon as I entered the forest the wind started to pick up, the trees bare branches spiked into the sky – there was no sign of life to be found anywhere. It was so dark you were barely able to see where I was going. There were only small sounds of rustling bushes and the howl of the wind, the cold breeze was screaming in my ears. The crispy snow crunched under my feet as I walked up the rigidity path to my house which was now only a mile or so away. The trees loomed dark and still all around and when the trees shadows drift past me a dreary and dismal chill shivered through me. Making me shudder for the trees branches were curled like fingers getting ready to grab me.

Then a looming deep steel grey fog came creeping across the sky covering up the sky, like a thick grey blanked of fog covering the sky and covering the lights from the stars and moon. I kept on looking franticly looking over my shoulder looking for an excuse to sprint off.

I suddenly saw something move in the shadows and I burst into a sprint.
The cold evening air shocking my throat and lungs as I inhale deeper and faster. My heart started to beat frantically in my ears. Then a stroke of adrenaline came over me and I don't think I had ever ran as fast as that, in my life.
I suddenly ran into a clearing and lost control over my legs, All at once my foot ceases to travel forwards and the scenery starts to blur and swirl and blend as my head becomes tilted toward the forest floor. Then I heard a huge thud and a painful pulse in my head. Then everything faded black. What felt like moments later I was woken up by a stream of moon light hitting my face. I found myself cold under a blanket of frosted leaves. The sky was freckled with stars again. The moon was a glowing sliver, shining on my face. The lake of stars glistened, mirroring the dazzling assemblage of glittering stars. A canopy of luminous stars materialized amongst the ocean of blackness. I looked up into the sky for a while in a sort of trance. Then I realised where I was, I was only a few yards from my house.

My house was a little cottage at the edge of the deep dark forest my mother use to tell us story's about talking animals and huge dangerous beasts living in there although she was probably making it up just so we would not go near it. my house is rather small it is a moldy grey color and poison ivy strangles the building. I live with just me and Lucy and our little dog spark. Our parents died when Lucy was about two and a half, I had been looking after her ever since and there's also peter he is my best friend, my pal we had been together since birth and he is always there to help me and Lucy.

I approached the front door "damn," it was locked again, so vigorously I shoved over the door and steped inside the house it had the damp smell that had always been there, white paint was plealing off the wall and the floor screaked as I walked up the cranky stairs, I then turned into the bedroom to find lucy tucked up in bed with peter standing by her side I smiled at him he smiled back with a warm smile. I then clambered onto lucys bed and kissed her gentaly on the head and then whisper good night. I then left the room with peter.

"thanks so much, so shall I take the first watch then?"

"ok I will get to bed then wake me up in a few hours to take over whatch,"

"bye,"

peter has been staying with us for years now sinse his father passed away and then his mother was put in the alcove and nobody survives the alcove. But peter is praticaly family anyway he is great. I keep thinking about what I heared in the alcove it was definatly not the wolf but what could it be, could someone still be alive. I rested my head on the wall and slowly sank to the floor hours passed so I headed into peters room and lightly tapped him on the head he opened his deep blue eyes which stared intp mine.

"hey its your whatch now ok,"

"yep ok I'm up,"

I slid into bed and shut my eyes tight trying to block out any bad dreames that always see to climb into my head.
