Chapter 1: The Note
I stared into the fire. My heart was in a million pieces and still felt like it was going to shatter more. I had lost everything in just 1 day. The only person I still cared about or felt a need to protect. The fire transformed. I saw the events of the day playing out vividly…
I woke up sensing something was wrong. I looked around the room. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary it was just the same old log cabin that me and my sister shared. No one else was there but I knew that my instincts were never wrong. I knew that something was amiss. I then looked out the window and I saw them. Why did it all ways have to be THEM? The Kings Order was basically his own smaller army that dealt with problems from inside of the wretched King's realm. They had been chasing us down because well… we are wolves. I am a pitch black Timber Wolf like our father but my sister is a pure white Arctic Wolf like our mother. We take the illusion of humans to keep our secret safe while we lived in town, but the Order found out about our… abnormalities. They had already killed our parents who created a diversion as we fled. That was 5 years ago. We were only 9 then. The Order has tried to track us down ever since.
"EMILY WAKE UP!" I screamed at my sister still asleep on her bed.
"What do u want Ashley?" she moaned in reply.
"It's them." I whispered.
She was out of her bed in seconds gathering all that we would need to survive.
"Emily just forget the food," I yelled as she started packing meat," I can hunt for us later!" she dropped the meat on the floor and we ran out the back door. We ran through the snow leaving wolf prints in the snow. It was a good thing it was snowing, it would cover our tracks. We ran to the forest, to cover, never looking back.
We ran for hours on end. The crescent moon was shining brightly before we finally stopped in a small clearing. It was covered by trees on all sides so it gave us good protection.
"I think we have run far enough." said Emily in between her heavy panting.
"O.k. but we will have to move again before dawn." I replied
"Aww!" she whined. I ignored her.
"I'm going hunting. I will be back as soon as I can." I sighed as I watched Emily as she flopped down on the ground. I then ran off into the night ready for the hunt.
The hunting was rough and it was hard to find any game whatsoever. I was roaming around looking when I came across two arctic hares. One for me and one for my sis. It was almost dawn by the time I walked back to the clearing with the two rabbits trapped in my jaws. I instantly dropped them when I returned to find the clearing empty except for a fire in the center. Emily was gone. I ran to where she originally collapsed when we originally found the clearing. I saw something gold and shiny through the snow in the fire light and dug for it. What I saw there was a sight that I wished that I never wanted to see again. It was the crest of the order. Next to it was a note. It said that if I ever wanted to see her again that I would need to give myself up to the Order in her place… to be killed.
