The secret Tribes

Chapter 2

---AT HOME---

"Your finally back! I've been, trying to link with you for hours!" Shouted mum.

"Umm... Sorry, I got distracted..." I mumbled

"Were you out in the woods?"

"Umm... Yes..." I told her hesitantly.

Mum turned, her sharp intense and caring eyes gazing over me. She was beautiful, with her lush urban hair and pale skin.

But her face... Looking at her I know she has been through so much. Right across her middle aged face...  Was a long white scar.

Every time I look at her, I anger bursts through me because I know who did that to her I was there!

---7 YEARS AGO---

"Mummy! Mummy!"

"Yes sweet heart?" Mum asked in her sweet tone, smiling.

"I just wanted to say... I love you!" I smiled at her with my two front teeth missing as i was just 7 years old. 

"I love u t-" Mum was cut off by screaming coming from the backyard.

"HELP!"

It Sam my 5 year old younger brother.

Mum and I ran outside to be greeted by Sam... Blood staining his t-shirt, hands and face.

"WHAT HAPPENED!?" Mum cried as she grasped him in her arms.

"Dad... Dad... Hunters..." He whispered then fell asleep in mums arms.

Mum suddenly got up gave Sam and I a kiss and told me she would be back soon. I grabbed Sam in my arms ran upstairs and put him in bed.

Then I ran following my mothers foot steps she had left behind in her rush towards the forest.

Then i stepped into the scene, my father, my daddy lay dead on the ground. DEAD. Shock took over my body as I layed down next to his lifeless one.

"Why?!" I screamed.

"Because he was a monster!" Grinned a tall thin man, his voice ran shivers down my spine.

Hunter!

"How dare you?!" I screamed.

"It is better for everyone if he is dead. He is scum." He growled, a smirk on his face.

My body shook, my face covered in tears and i lay down on the forest floor.

I remembered daddy saying he was chased his whole life by dark scary figures, 'Hunters' he called them. Hunters, the name scared me to my bones. Dad was a shifter the last of his kind after his family and friends were murded by hunters. And now so was he.

Dad taught me lots about shifters. How they could change there forms into animals, shifters were at one with nature. Now he was gone.

My body roared in pain as I felt an unfamiliar pulling of my bones, I turned towards the woods seeing that I had no escape from the hunter, from the corner of my eye I spotted a small black wolf. I imagined myself as that wolf but stronger, larger. A pain burned through my body, i saw black spots in my vision.

"Your just like him! You vile MONSTER! I hope you rot in hell!" Snarled the hunter as he drew is knife reading to slash at my paralyzed body.

In seconds I saw the knife come towards me and time slowed down. Then... It happened... Mum jumped in front of my body from out of nowhere. Her scream resonated through the woods as she held her slashed face in her hands.

"NOOOO!" Were the last words that came out of my mouth as I transformed into a large black she-wolf.

The hunter didn't know what hit him, as I lunged at his throat... Then he fell to the ground dead.

I closed my eyes and pictured my normal self. Then I was back in my seven year old human form.

I just lay there on the leaf covered ground as tears ran down my face. Mummy was on the ground as well she was out of it. Unconcious. Hurt.

I cried for many reasons that day, my father had died, by the hands of the hunter I had just killed. And I also cried because... That day I became a shifter.

The last shifter alive.
