A huge grizzly bear charges at me, teeth bared.

I freeze with fear. Screaming at myself to move but not being able to able do it. Once the bear gets dangerously close I roll over to my left and run as fast as I can. The bear starts barreling after me, not too far behind.

~Claire's POV~ (point of view)

I smile, wandering mindlessly through the woods. I see another pup that's about my age who is also white. I've never seen anyone like me. Mama always I was a rare and unique pup and that's why I looked different than the rest of the pack. I follow him until he stops for rest under the shade of a huge tree. I exit my hiding spot, hoping not to startle him away.

"Hello stranger." I say enthusiastically, "We have the same color fur, see?" He scowls at me.

"Great for us," he responds bitterly, "Now we can be miserable together." I tilt my head a little, confused as to why he is so snarky.

"Well, your a real grump. My name's Clair! I see you have a cut on your neck... It looks pretty bad." I respond, choosing to ignore what he just said.

"Yeah, thanks for reminding me."

"Well, let me clean it up for you!" I start to lick his wound be he jumps back, away from my reach.

"Hey! What do you think your doing?! I was doing perfectly fine with out you." I give him a look.

"Just let me clean your wound, otherwise it'll infect!" I clean his wound while he grudgingly waits. "All done!" I said happily. "As I said earlier my name is Clair. My friends from school call me Clair bear." I giggle at the silly nickname, "Funny right? They call be a bear when I'm a wolf! But my mom told me I can't tell my friends I'm a werewolf. Well, what's your name?" I  tilt my head again as I ask the question.

"M-my name is Shumani." He tells me, "I'm kind of lost... I stopped here to rest." He hangs his head in defeat. He clearly doesn't like to show any signs of weakness. I take a small wiff of the pup, trying to distinguish his scent.

"Well... Considering your particular scent I think you'd ought to head north. You were just heading South." I say matter-of-factly "Also, you should eat and drink something. You must be starving." 

"I'm fine, thanks Clair." He responds, defiant. "Bye." I will with disappointment, sad that he couldn't stay any longer.

"Bye.." I frown deeply. Realizing that I've been gone for way too long I run home as fast as I can. Not watching were I'm going I bump into a huge wolf. I look up, trembling and stare into the piercing eyes of the alpha. He growls in annoyance.

"Watch were you going next time odd pup." Mama runs up to me, a protective aura around her.

"Your not odd Clair... Remember that, your beautiful and don't let anyone tell you anything different." I smile and lick Mama's face in show of affection.
