St. Cloud, Minnesota, 10:34 AM
Alfia sat on her bed with her laptop and a bowl of popcorn. typing away on a post on Criagslist. Trying not to sound like like a loon, she was trying to see if anyone knew about what happened to her last night. "Okay let's try this again." she said to herself as she typed "So far I have. Looking for someone to find information on transformation into wolf? If anyone knows please email me at iluvdajoebros@hotmail.com." Alfia shuddered "If I ever have kids, I'm never letting them make an email at 8 years old." she joked as she typed "Maybe I should make a new one. Yes, yes I should." she said
After 3 hours, 18 different email addresses and another bowl of popcorn she had written another add. Or 15 "Okay this is the one. I know it!" Alfia shouted "Looking for someone to help research wolves and werewolves and transformation. If interested please Contact me at AlfiaCarter@gmail.com." Alfia smiled and crossed her arms "Perfect, time to post it!" she said as she pressed the button "Now let's hope no one thinks I'm insane. Also I want real food" she said getting up off her bed and heading downstairs where Elliott was sitting on the couch watching TV "Are we doing anything today?" Asked Alfia "Mom said something about a hike." Elliott shrugged "Okay, I'll go get dressed." Alfia said walking back upstairs to get dressed
"Okay kids! Time to get out and into nature." Alfia's mom said as she parked the car and opened the side door. Alfia stepped outside and into the sun. Elliott groaned as he hopped out of the car "Ugh, can't we just drive through the trail?" he whined. Alfia's mom laughed as everyone started hiking on the trail.
They were getting deep into the trail when Alfia looked up at a sign 'WARNING, WILD DEER.' it read "I wonder if we'll see any." Alfia said, thinking out loud as they walked up toward a seating area on the top of the hill with a view of the lake
Once they reached the top of the hill, Elliott flopped onto a bench and Alfia's mom sat down next to him to look through her bag to find a water bottle. Alfia looked trough the trees. Taking a few photos with her camera as she went. She took a deep breath. Taking in all the forest scents. Suddenly one sent stuck out in her mind. But what was it. Alfia handed her camera to her mom and moved over. She was almost walking into the woods "Alfia! Stay on the path!" her mom yelled to her "Yeah, okay!" Alfia responded taking a step into the woods. She realized what that sent was, deer. Alfia didn't really know why but she needed to get closer to that deer. She moved closer into the woods, straying far, far away from the path. She suddenly lost control and took off into a full sprint. She slowed down and crouched into a bush. She could see the deer. And boy did it see her. It took off running toward the path. Alfia almost blacked out. She bolted after the deer. Faster than ever. Alfia and the deer crashed onto the path. Alfia tried to leap toward the deer. But her leg was caught on a branch mid leap. She crashed to the ground. She rolled all the way down the hill.
SPLASH!
Landing in a river at the bottom. Alfia say her mom starting to move down the hill toward her "Oh my gosh, are you alright?" She asked once she reached Alfia and helped her up. Alfia brushed her dark brown wavy hair out of her grey eyes "Yeah I'm fine, a few scraps from the fall but I'm okay." she said with a light smile. Alfia's mom smiled back "I think we should get home now." Alfia nodded and walked up the hill with her mom. At the top she saw a small crowd gathered. All watching her. And her brother laughing on the bench. with her camera... Alifa sighed. She'd deal with him later.
The three walked back to the car and drove home. "I'll make dinner. You go get cleaned up." Alfia's mom said turning to the kitchen. Alfia sighed and walked upstairs. She showered and changed clothing. Placing the ripped and dirty ones from the hike in the hamper. She sat on her bed and opened up her laptop. She checked Craigslist. "Yes! Someone responded." she cheered to herself as she read her email before she started up a reply, she nibbled her lip and hoped this wasn't a joke response

Phoenix, Arizona, 11:34 AM
Aslema was hunting the internet for answer on what had happened the other night. She sighed, Yahoo Answers weren't helping. She opened Caigslist and started searching. Wait! She found one. Aselma read it carefully ""Looking for someone to help research wolves and werewolves and transformation. If interested please Contact me at AlfiaCarter@gmail.com." she read out loud. She stood up and locked her door. She sat back down and started typing up a resonse email. "Okay so. I think I know what you are talking about. The same thing happened to me. I would like to talk more. Please email me back at Aslemaisthecooliest@gmail.com." She read out loud as she typed. She thought about changing her email but she still thought she had a pretty neat username. Or a dumb one depended on who you asked. She sighed again. She stood up and walked out of her room and outside to the Libray again. She did her best to try and find something on werewolves. Nothing fiction this time. She walked home and started reading. She needed to know as much info as possible.
