Ok. this is a new story that I personally think is my best work to this day. Please read and review. I enjoy the criticism i get. I realize that this is an original and not a copy of something previously written. It is just under this category because it involves werewolves. But, thanks for reading and please go and read my other work in progress, A Not So Sweet Sixteen. Hope you enjoy. Pyrgus :)
P.S. Please keep in mind that this is just an intro and that i wont continue if i dont get some feedback.
Introduction – Alana
A raven-haired girl of twelve walks toward me. She calls out to me in French, but I don't understand her words. She sounds inquisitive; I later find out that she was asking me what I was doing out so late all alone.
Its dark except for the steadily rising full moon in the Paris night sky. She is screaming at me now, I believe she is starting to panic. She suddenly stops yelling at me and drops to her knees. She is moaning in pain and I hear bones crunching somewhere nearby. Then she screams three words I do understand.
"Dieu vous garde!" or in English as I know them, God keep you.
Then she continues whimpering in a high-pitched almost animal squeal. I stop staring as I finish puzzling out the words I understood. I grasp their meaning and run. It's a foolish thing to do considering I'm already lost. I start to feel guilty for leaving the girl back there, thinking that her outburst was meant for her pain. All of a sudden all noise seems to stop. The girl is now gone, but in her place stands a giant wolf-like creature with black fur and emerald eyes. Now, I'm terrified and I forget about the girl and run.
The heavy padding of giant claw filled paws galloping after me is getting closer. I feel its breath on the back of my neck. Then, I experience an insurmountable amount of pain along my left leg. I fall down screaming.
The sound of those paws used to haunt me in the beginning. Sometimes they still do. That all happened two years ago to this day. Both the raven haired girl and the wolf creature is my best friend, Esmarelda Lafayette. That was how we met. I know, pretty bisare huh?
This is the story of how our now neverending friendship will begin. It all started in an American orphanage in South Carolina…
