The wind blows through my fur as I run through the moonlight, feeling the freedom as I run past the boundary walls,
Away from the watchful eyes of the guardians of the tribe is the best feeling in the world, I know that there is nothing that can stop me. I run, run through the trees past the big blue rock to my secret place. The place where I can get away from the world, away from the praise And the responsibilities of being the future of the tribe. My secret place is at edge of the river surrounded by trees so no one can see me, At this time of the night the moon glimmers onto the river like art work. I dephase from my wolf form and get dressed in the clothes I carried with me, I sit on the rocks at the edge of the river and wait. I wait for the feeling of freedom overwhelm me, for me to have the courage to leave the tribe completely, But that will never happen. I have nowhere to go, no one to run to, my family can t go, they love it here, Love the fame that they get for raising an elemental Wolfam. I don t even know who to use all my powers yet But everyone still thinks that I'll protect them from hunters and be the saviour.
I don t want to be though, I won t to be normal, I want people to look at me like I'm not special Like I'm not the best thing that has happened to the place, I want, I want what I can t have.
As I stare down at the lake I know that I will have to return to the tribe soon before they get worried,
And start looking for me, I can t afford to be found out here again, last time I was caught I was put on house arrest For a month, not to mention the disappointment on my parents face when they find that I put my life endanger, again.
Then I hear a sound, a twig snapping underneath a creatures foot, a hunter maybe, I stand and look for the source of the Noise but see nothing,
"Who, whose there" I say, my voice stutters at every word as I ready myself to phase, to fight. There is still no answer from the creature in the dark, I look deep into the trees to see if I can see anything That may resemble a figure.
Then I see to eyes staring at me bright blue eyes that could only mean one thing.
Ben found me.

"Thought I would, wait no, knew I would find you here" Ben proclaimed, "Hey Ben, what the hell are you doing here?" I asked, he knows not to follow me around the woods, "I just, ah, wanted to know where you were is all you seemed pretty upset before"
"Well I'm fine now" I lied, "No you re not, you re sick of the tribe and how they treat you". Crap I forgot he was mind reader Wolfam, "So, it doesn't matter what I think, it won t change anything" I sighed. Ben walked up and sat next to me on the rock, I hadn't even noticed that he defased.
"How long have you been out here?" He asked, "Not that long, well I don t really know who long everyone has been looking for me? no doubt everyone is looking For me right now.
"No one s looking for you, they were about to but I told them that you were just at the library", "The library! Why the hell would I be at the library", idiot.
"What else did you want me to tell them that you ran off outside the tribe grounds in the danger of hunters?"
"Good point." I answered "thanks"
"No problem".
We sat in silence for time just staring at the lake. Ben is the only friend I have in the tribe that doesn't Look up to me like I'm the best thing that has happened to the tribe, well really he is my only friend here. I don t like having many friends, I'm sure why I just think that they won t want to be my friends for who I am But for what I can do. That and the less friends I have the less I have to leave behind when I leave this place.
"You re not going to leave me are you Kate?!" Ben asked, breaking the beautiful silence. "Get out of my head Ben, it's none of your business..."
"Yes it is you can t leave me, I have no one else"
"Yes you do you have Sarah... Sarah is Ben's little sister, well only by 1 minute, there twins "Yeah but she has OBD" Ben proclaimed "OBD?"
"You know Obsessive Boyfriend Disorder" he laughed, I laughed with him. It seems that no matter how bad of a mood I m in he always makes me happy. "That s why you can t leave, you won t have me", He has a point as annoying as he is when he reads my mind I can't live without him... Now what do I do. "I have an idea" said Ben "What?"
"I'll come with you!"
"What do you mean you'll come with me, you can't leave what about your sister, what about your parents?"
"My sister has OBD remember, and my parents have wanted me to move out for ages, they'll be happy"
"It's not a bad idea... But we don t have anywhere to go, we don t know what s out there" I said feeling disheartened, "Yeah and it's not like we can blend in with the crowd can we", No we can t Wolfam have distinct birthmarks that cover Half of our face, the birthmarks are in the shape of our powers, so mine is a flame, a drop of water, dirt, And a wind mark. Where Ben's is just a brain. "True" I said, knowing that I will never be able to leave this place.
"At least you have me, you'll always have me" Ben had the biggest grin on this face,

Then he was thinking something, he stayed quiet for a long moment. Sometimes I wish I was a mind reader So I can know what he is thinking. We stared at the late again watching the reflection of the moon flicker Through the water.
"I can live with this" I said with a sigh "What do you mean Kate?"
"I can live with this, the tribe, my future, everything... Just as long as your here with me" "I won t ever leave you".

Then I heard a tree branch snap in the background. Both Ben and I looked around to find the source of the noise, then we heard the same sound in a different direction. We both kept searching for the source, kept scanning the trees. Then we saw a man walk into view, then another, and another, there were five of them surrounding us Each of them holding as gun, they were hunters. "Stay behind me" Said Ben, I responded by taking a step behind him.
One of the men spoke first, staring at both of us "What type are they Greg?" His voice was rusty and demanding One of the hunters to the right responded to the man "The male is a reader not sure on the female thought her mark is full of different images, there to small to see"
The hunter Greg was staring at me, well at my face really, "I haven t seen a mark like that before, John" Greg answered "Well we'll just take them both then" Said the man that was presumed to be John. all five hunters started to move closer to us cornering us at the rock, Ben standing in front of me Stepped forward, "Don t you dare touch her!"
Ben what are you doing, I thought, he looked back at my terrified eyes, and all I saw in his was the Wildness of our wolves, he's going to phase. Don t do it Ben, I thought, but it was too late, as the hunters came closer to us Ben phased, and let out an ear-piercing roar, John only stared at him not hesitant about any of his movements, "Kill him" he said with such ease, Then there was a gun shot and all I saw was Ben fall to the group, I screamed, I tried to run towards Ben but something stung my neck, like a bee sting, then my vision began to blur, tears were running down my face as I treid to reach ben wake him save him before he hits death, even though I knew that I couldn't do anything I had to get to him, But before I could darkness had taken me and I collapsed to the group. They had shot me with a tranquilizer gun, But I had wished they had shot me like they shot ben, I can t live without him, not with what I'm about to face.
