I was sitting up in the bed rubbing my eyes from the lack of sleep and then the door went up and my parents came in dragging a deer after them, they both look at me with dissapointment. My mother walks over tot me while my dad starts do tacke the deer.

Lilly: "Litte one, why arent you sleeping?" She sits down beside me in my bed petting my hair.

Kine: "I couldn't sleep, I didn't know where you went." I say trying not fall asleep then and there.

Lilly: "We was just out hunting with the rest of the group. In the winter the hunting grounds is much more sparse, so we had to hunt for so long to get enough meet for the Alpha." She continues to pet my hair speacking softly.

I just nod and rubs my eyes yawning.

Lilly: "Try to get some sleep, we will be here when you wake up again."

I lay down and falls asleep instantly. In my dream I could almost touch the moon and fly over the forest when a loyd yelp came from outside and I wake up looking around trying to find my parents. Both are up and rushes to the door, I gets out of bed and rushes to the window to see out. But what I saw, it will forever stay in my memories. The boy from last night, lays motionless on the grown covered in blood, and Azazel stands over him one of his hands covered in the boy's blood. I try to get away from the window but my legs wont move. A female is running over, crying, I guess it is his mother. She is sitting down beside him, holding him like a smal child. I think he is still alive becase she just got up and ran with him, maybe to one of the pack doctors. Azazel still stands there with a big wolf grin on his face, and suddendly he yells.

Azazel: "No one should ever cross my path! No one should ever bump in to me! You might get really badly hurt or worse!" He spits the last word, and walks away, with his Betas and their pups.

My legs give in under me and I fall to my knees, not knowing how to wrap my mind around what I just saw and heard. What did that poor boy do? Did he run in to him while playing with his sister? Will he survive? Al of this thougths runs trough my head as my parents walk in and I can feel a pair of strong hands around me lifting me up and hugs me tight. I think it's my dad, yes I can semll it it is him and I hug him back, finally I can be a child again and I start to cry not knowing what else to do. He holds me like that for what feels like hours, and finally I stop crying, now I'm just mad, mad at Azazel for hurting a child and hurting my parents. 

A few years passes and it just keeps on getting worse. It's late summer, my 9th birthday just came and went. Life is getting harder, the fairies is not coming out to play anymore, and that woman that my parents told me about, she isn't there anymore, I guess she ran away. The forest looks like it is losing it's magic. Azazel hurt my dad really bad a few weeks ago, he didn't get enough food, so hi took my dads eye, telling him if he failed one more time he will take his other eye. My dad keeps telling jokes that he looks good as a pirate and that he can see everything with his one eye. Azazel hasn't hurt my mom yet, only because dad insist on taking the meet they catch them selfe to him. 

I'm outside picking flowers, it is almost bed time. I can se the moon peeking over the mountain top, and I'm finally gonna stay up and see the full moon. Dad says it's a super moon tonight so it will be alot bigger than usual. In my toughts I finish picking flowers and I walk back to my house and enters, seing my dad making dinner for us and my mom is bussy cleaning. I find a vase to put the flowers in. Dad made meatballs and potatoes, we all sit down to eat and the moon just keeps climbing over the mountain. We all finish and I help dad clean up the dishes and I rush out the door just to watch the moon, my parents are coming after me and we stay out there watching the moon, hearing the owls hoot to them self. A boy walks over to us, and in the moon light I can see it's the same boy from a few years ago, he got badly hurt that time, and whenever Azazels is around he keeps his head down. He has three big scars running acros his face now thanks to Azazel.. The boy smiles at me as he passes us and heads in to the forest.
