Back in action! Guys, I am sorry that I took an extra-long break, but now I am back and so is JC! I am really excited for this story. The story, as of right now, is gonna be different, but it will still have the same layout from before. Anyways guys, ENJOY!

School was over, indicated by the annoying bell, and it was finally Summer Vacation. I got up from my desk, got all of my stuff, and then left the school, my friends trying to catch up. The three of us walked home together and we asked each other questions about our vacation plan.

"...and the last stop is most-likely gonna be France.", Sierra, my childhood-friend as well as crush, explained her 'Summer Trip Around the World'. Chris, one of my newer friends, said that he was going to a summer camp in San Diego called 'Campland By the Bay', actual summer camp that is awesome, but other than that, nothing else. "What about you, JC?"

I hesitated. "My mom is going out of town so my sister is gonna watch me, but today I am gonna go to the graveyard for a while.", I told them. They both looked at me with sad eyes.

"JC, it has been over two years since the accident, get over it already!", Sierra told me, practically slapping me in the face in the process. Everyone at my school had heard about the accident, but instead of feeling bad for me, they were annoyed by how much it affected me.

"That won't stop him, so just let him do what he wants.", Chris told Sierra.

I got home, my feet killing me. I walked inside and called out, "I'm home!" There was no answer. Hmm...my sister isn't here yet. I thought as I walked up the stairs and into my room. I looked at the bunk bed that filled up most of my room and thought about my brother for a bit. I sat at my desk, turned on the laptop sitting on it, and clicked on Minecraft. I looked back at the bunk bed and I saw something that broke me. On the bottom bunk, a sheathed katana sat, the dark strap connected to both ends slightly falling off the bed. I got up from my desk chair and picked up the sword, continuing to throw the strap over my shoulder and position it correctly.

Roughly 3 years ago, my brother had gotten back from a vacation with one of his friends. He told us that he was gonna take a cab after his plane landed, but after a few hours, the cab never arrived. Mother was worried so she turned on the news, however, the second it turned on, she regretted her decision. About halfway from the airport to our house, a car crash occurred between a taxi and an SUV; the taxi my brother was taking crashed and both him and the driver died. Ever since the accident, I was different; before, I had been the fun, kind, straight-A student, but after, my grades fell, I acted like I didn't care anymore, and I stopped hanging out with the normal groups.

I sat back down on the chair and looked at the blank screen on the laptop. I moved my mouse, nothing. I pressed multiple keys, nothing. Pressed the power button multiple times, nothing. I took my phone out of my pocket and looked at the same blank screen. "What the fuck is going on?!", I screamed, pissed. I put my phone back into my pocket and walked to the door of the room, but it wouldn't budge! I ran to the window and tried opening it, but it didn't open either. I started to panic, not being able to leave my room or use my devices, and I also started hyperventilating. I was light-headed, panicking, and running around in circles to the point where everything became dark and I passed out.

I felt the sun's rays burning my face, the grass slightly brushing against my face, and also the...wait, "What the fuck?!" I shot up and started looking around, but all there was to see was trees, grass, and anything else you would normally find in a forest. "Uhh? Hello? Is anyone here?", I called, but there was no response. I looked down to see the katana, so I quickly grabbed it and walked away.

The sun started setting and I have yet to find anyone or anything. In the distance, however, light started seeping through the dense forest! I ran towards it and as I got through the trees, I saw a small village, people chatting with friends and children playing. I started walking towards it, but one of the children saw me, and with a high-pitched scream, she alarmed the entire town of my presence.

The adults and children fled into their homes and then guards, muscular, big, and armed, blocked off the town. They aimed their weapons at me and started walking closer, forcing me to go backwards. "What are you doing? Why are you doing this? I haven't done anything!", I argued as they continued to force me back.

"Quiet you beast!", one of the guards called. "Tell Sarah her little plan of sending in a newbie failed.

I have no idea what he is talking about. "I think you have me mistaken for someone else. I just woke up inside the forest and I don't know any Sarah.", I explained.

None of the guards looked convinced. "Oh yeah? Then why are you armed? Why do you have the features of a wolf?", the guard from before asked, although his questions didn't make any sense to me.

"First of all," I started, "I have a katana because it was my brother's but he passed away, and secondly, 'wolf parts'?"

He pointed me to the small lake near the village and told me to go see my reflection. I did what he told me to do and what I saw was...crazy. In my reflection, I saw two red eyes, silver-gray hair, but what really stuck out were the wolf ears, tail, teeth and claws that I had. I stepped away from my reflection, horror filling me. I looked like a monster in the eyes of everyone, but how did this happen?

One guard walked towards me, his sword drawn, and said in a deep voice, "Get out of my town and never return, or I will slice you into a million pieces."

I turned to look at him, but instead of standing over me, he was kneeling, as was the other guards. An old woman wearing a brown robe started walking towards me. In a soft but stern voice, she asked me, "What business do you have here, Wolven?"

At first, I was confused, but I still answered her. "Honestly, I don't know. I woke up in the forest a while back not remembering what happened."

She looked at me, turned around and said, "You can stay here for now, but don't try anything or else I will allow my guards to end you." With that, she walked off, followed by the guards, followed by me. She led me to the biggest house of the village, most obviously hers, and told me that I will be staying with her.

I walked into the room she lent me and I laid on the soft, wool bed. Soon after laying down, I fell asleep, letting my mind wander off.

Alright, there is the first real chapter of TMW and, once again, I am really sorry for posting this later the promised. I am gonna try to post a chapter weekly, but since I have no other announcements, Seeya!
