Spirit of the wolf

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

My name is Jasmine and I am the daughter of the alpha who rules over the Grass lands.

We live next to the Death lands which are ruled by an evil Alpha wolf called Raven.

The two lands have been separated for years and only books tell the story of how the once great pack split into two very different packs.

One of these new packs became known as evil and the other good.

The good pack is known for looking after each other and helping each other whenever anyone needed it.

The evil pack became selfish an only concerned for their own well-being and killed for the fun of it. Their leader was Victor who led them in the brake from the pack. His decedents continue to keep his evil legend alive and his beliefs through one of his decedents Raven.

As you have probably guessed my father is the decedent of Koda who led the good wolf pack. He kept their way of life going, the way of life I now live.

The battle between Koda and Victor was fierce and Koda won against Victor and forced him and his followers to the death lands, they were never to return.

They have not made an appearance for many years since I was little.

I remember that they hate being in their human form and will only be in their wolf form. I have the image in my head of them taking my mother from me when I was only five.

When I am ready I will become the next leader. My father really hates the Death landers especially after they took my mother. After they took her my father wanted to take revenge on them but that is not something that Grass landers do though.

Growing up I wondered when they would come for me but after years of waiting they never came.

After my mother was taken my father had me by his side at all times and would never let me out of his sight.

Stories are told about the great battle and other stories of how the Death landers live.

We are not allowed to leave the safety of our lands for the Death landers wolves will kill you there and then. Only one has ever escaped from their lands but watched as his friends died.

The Death landers are merciless and will kill anything they want. There have been a couple of attempts by them to cross into our lands but unlike them we don’t kill them but force them to go back to their lands.

But when they go back they usually will get killed by their own pack, some of our scouts have seen them being killed as they cross the border.

My father says that if I ever come across one that I should run for my life and worn our pack of their intrusion.

The images of the day part of my family was taken are still with me and haunt me.

The image of them attacking was the scariest thing they were full of craziness and rage but they were accurate enough. The strange thing was that they were all grey not one of them was of a different colour and their fur was all ragged and torn. They had scars on them and open wounds and infected wounds. They looked like they had been through hell and back and were now the devils servants by taking the good.

Our lands are peaceful unless the Death landers come.

The grass is green and we all live together in a village and live like humans. We have crops and live stoke and our lives are happy and food is plentiful. We survive on what we grow but if need be we will trade with humans.

I wake up early every morning and say good bye to my dad who goes out hunting with some of the strongest from the pack. They always go on hunts and only bring back what they need for the pack to survive on. 

My father makes sure that I never leave the safety of the packs territory and has everyone make sure that I never leave.

 I usually spend the day with my best friend Grace and we try not to get into trouble but sometimes we can’t stay out of trouble. Grace’s father and mine are best friends and me and Grace have been best friends since we were little.

Both me and Grace are 16 years old which means we are old enough to change into wolves but for some reason we have never changed. Our fathers are worried about why we haven’t changed and they ask us every day if we have changed for the first time but we always reply the same way by saying no.

Others in the pack think that there is something wrong with us but the doctor says that we are both fine and we will change when we are ready to. Me and Grace spend as much time down at the lake as we can as it’s the only place that we can get away from the other teens in the pack.

The lake is right in the middle of the two territories and no one usually goes there except for us.

Everywhere we look we see the other teenagers being shown how to hunt and be resourceful in there wolf forms and we sometimes climb up in the trees and watch them train. We both can’t wait until we shift for the first time so that we can join them. But unfortunately the doctor says there is no guaranteed time when we could shift.

We have never been caught when we have gone down to the lake it is our place a place where we can relax and not have to worry about what happens in the pack. If our fathers knew that we were there they would have us guarded 24/7 that’s why we only go there when our fathers are out hunting and we make sure not to be there when it’s dark.

Neither of us wants to take a chance of a Death lander showing up, that would truly be the end of us both.
