The wind rushed past me as my wings beat against the night sky. I noticed a copse of trees up ahead. I slowed to a stop, talons clutching a low-hanging branch. I looked beyond the trees and a pair of glowing golden eyes met my own.
Wolf eyes.
My eyes widened in fear as I took off. I dodged the trees in my path, but one branch snapped on my wing. My vision blurred, pain lacing through my wing. I continued to flap my wings, clinging desperately to the notion I would make it out alive.
More than one wolf was chasing me, their paws a staccato on the ground. They would catch up. They would devour me. I tried to stay in the air, but the pain was unbearable. I fell to the ground, fluttering down like a dead leaf.
I snapped my eyes open. Breathing heavily, I sat up. My room shifted in and out of focus as my eyes adjusted.
When I was little, my father always told me that dreams were just my imagination, that people were never chased by wolves, and people certainly could never be birds.
