I ran and ran, the soles aching from the pain of my blistered feet as I stepped on the harsh grounds of the forest, but, I couldn’t stop moving, if I stopped for even a second they would catch up and it would be the end of my life so I kept on running through the forest.
I skipped over puddles and fallen branches, I avoided anything that could slow me down but as my terrible luck would have it my toe smashed into a stone in the ground and I crashed down onto the floor and rolled down the tilted grounds till the side of my body aggressively slammed into the base of a tree, halting my movement and leaving me writhing in pain.
I tried to get back on my feet and continue my escape but as I raised my head my eyes immediately met with one of their blood-lusting eyes, it was already too late, they had surrounded me, their gigantic bodies blocking any chance for an exit as the three of them slowly walked towards me.
"Please," I begged as they stalked closer to me, my body shivered with fear as I cautiously stepped back till my back hit the tree, there was nowhere to go, nowhere to run so I pulled out a small knife that I had taken with me when I had evaded them at first, they had effortlessly taken down my parents, their own kind simply because they were a higher rank, at this moment I cursed my existence cause I know my resistance was futile, one snap of their jaws and I’ll be dead but I would not die that was, I’d die fighting, I’d die inflicting pain unto those who wanted to kill me.
"Come at me, you bastards!" I shouted, holding the knife firmly in my shaky hands, The one in the middle stepped forward growling with drool dropping out of the corners of its mouth as it stepped closer, its deep brown eyes fixed on me as it opened its wide mouth revealing it’s blood stained teeth then it jumped towards me, I stood my ground ready for whatever was to come when something speedily slammed into it, sending it flying into a tree, I looked at what had just saved me and in front of me stood the largest wolf I had ever seen, the other two began to cry out for their fallen companion before they rushed towards it but ready to attack but unfortunately for them, they didn’t stand a chance, I watched as my savior ripped then both apart with ease till all that remained of them was a bloody puddle. I watched with wide eyes as his transformation began to reverse and it slowly turned back into a man, but it wasn’t a man, it was a boy my own age.
"Are you ok," he asked, offering me a hand, I took it and rose to my feet.
"I am," I answered still stunned by what I had just witnessed, he smiled.
