Transmogrify Wolf

Chapter 2: A New Start

Dave's P.O.V           

-----

After I finished cutting my right wrist and covering it, I continued walking home. While walking home I passed by houses with lights on and families playing together on their lawn. I kept walking until I saw a little dog with his dog family. It looked so happy. I sighed I wish I could be that dog, it looked so loved. Even a dog gets more love and affection than I do.

As I neared my house I slowed down a bit to look at the brown shingle plated wood that was chipping slightly. As I got to my house I sighed and turned the door knob opening the door. I was greeted by the nicest thing my dad would ever do a punch in the face. I fell back onto the porch and held onto my cheek. It became bright pink and I winced in pain.

"Ugh.'' I moaned while thinking about how much that hurt. If he was really mad he would of probably broken my cheek bone or something, which was why I always stayed quiet and didn't argue back. I couldn't fight with real wolves. When I wasn't even a wolf myself. It was the damn struggle.

"Why are you home?" he asked.

I told him that I was feeling sick and went home to recover since I wasn't a werewolf who could resist the common cold and flu. He knew I was lying, but he simply just did not care. Stupid werewolf sense. He had an advantage against anything I would say or do, all thanks to his heightened sense of smell, touch, taste, sight, and hearing. I put my earphone in my ear and walked up to my room while thinking about my pink cheek that had just been assaulted.

I always played the same music as always, songs like 'Bring Me Back to Life.' As I got to my room I immediately started packing and was finished in around ten minutes or so. I threw my bags out the window, which was a backpack and a duffle bag. I then climbed on the ivy branches down to the ground. I didn't bother writing a note on why I left. It isn't like they would care about my well being anyways. I emailed the only few friends I had on my iPod while I still had wifi left and started walking away from the house that was never a home. Any direction further from the place I lived was going to be a better place for me. So as long as I never ran into the people that bully me on a daily basis.

I avoided the streets to not be seen and walked near the forest area for hours. As I was walking hours I saw a girl about my age walking too and we were both near the forest area. I quickly caught up to her and ask why was she walking too. She told me that she was running away because after her mom passed away, her dad became an abusive pervert and she had to leave. She asked me the same question and I replied with, ''same here, but without the pervert dad stuff." I guess we were in the same boat but with different situations.

She asked me if I would go and travel her and I said yes immediately at the chance of having a new friend during this new era in my life. There was a park nearby the forest and we decided to rest because we've been walking for hours, talking and learning new things about each other. As laid down my small pillow and blanket I looked at her lying on the dirt I asked if she wanted to sleep with me. She gladly accepted it so I gave her my pillow and grabbed one of my shirts to be my pillow substitute.

Looking at my iPod I checked the time really quick so it wouldn't kill too much battery.

[7:37pm]

Tomorrow I decided that we could maybe get a bite to eat to fill our stomach for a good portion of the day and then stock up on easy foods that I could carry and would last long. A new life meant new struggles, but it would all be worth it in the end, if we could find a good place to live and start over. Thank god I've been saving money all my life without my parents or siblings knowing. I wondered how long a thousand dollars exactly can last with eating every day and other stuff, but that was something to worry about later, I didn't want to get all worked up before I even started my journey with Maria. Getting up Maria looked at me and said she saw me at school getting beat up. I winced at the thought of my old life. I did not want to be reminded of what happened to me back then, since I was pushing everything in the past now. I told her everything about me and my family. It turned out she was a werewolf too! Or at least she was a werewolf. I was still a wolf or human, whatever I was I wasn't what she was and she seemed to understand so she stopped asking questions and knew what my boundaries were when it came to some subjects, but she was a pretty cool person in general. I could see myself being good friends with Maria.

[9:23pm]

We were both getting tired now, after an hour and a half of talking more so I pulled the blanket over us and wished her a good night, and sweet dreams. I was about to fall asleep when she asked me what I was listing to I love her, Evanescence 'Bring Me Back to Life.' She said that was her favorite song and wanted to listen with me so we could fall asleep faster. So I plugged my other earphone in her ear and we both fell into a deep sleep near a tree deeper in the woods for shelter.
