Chapter One - Nightmares
"No!" she screamed. "Get away from him!"
Her voice echoed throughout the forest beneath the darkness of the night as her lover laid unconscious, chained to a tree as the huge wolf ran towards him. The snow fell like rain breaking the wolf's camouflage with the black sky of the night making it visible enough for her to know that the beast was getting closer and closer to her lover. She kept on throwing sticks and rocks hoping to distract it but it didn't even twitched an ear.
"Please I beg you!" she cried at the wolf.
The wolf flinched as a stream of hot tears came running down her face and dripped down to her red cloak. Something made the wolf stop and turned to approach her slowly leaving the man below the tree. She trembled with fear and her knees lost it's strength bringing her down to the cold, cold snow unable to move a muscle. It's yellow eyes never left hers as it got closer and closer until the poor woman could feel it's warm breath on her face breathing slowly and heavily.
"Don't do this." the woman pleaded as if the animal could understand what she was saying.
Heavy breaths blew to her face as the beast blinked and pressed its head on her cold white cheeks. "This is for our future." it whispered to her mind while orally vocalizing a low rumble from its throat which she felt vibrating around her neck.
It's not she thought as she threw her frail body at the wolf but she was too late and fell to the ground. "Peter!" she screamed as the beast finally took away the only man she has ever loved with just one bite.

Ruby woke up suffocated like she just emerged from the lake after a long struggle with a person that tried to drown her. What was that all about she thought as she scrambled to her feet and tied her long black hair into a pony tail. Her body was aching to get back in the comforter and get some sleep done but even that wouldn't help her problem. For seven days straight she's been having the exact same dream over and over again and what ever she did, she never got to change the ending and the man never survived. It really bothered her and messed up her—already unstable—sleeping patern. She tried to ignore it and push it to the back of her mind as far as she could, but there was always a lingering feeling that wouldn't leave her, making her think constantly about the man in her dreams.
A sound from downstairs suddenly burst aloud from downstairs that called out to her. "Ruby! Wake up!" said her Granny.
"I'm already awake Granny!" replied Ruby as she slowly got to her feet and rose from the bed. "Be there in a second!"
This lady was never a morning person no matter how hard she tried to convince herself otherwise. There's just this feeling of great fatigue coursing through her body every time she would wake up in the morning unlike how lively she felt during the night. It was ten to five in the morning just as scheduled each and every day where then she would—reluctantly—take a brief seven to ten minutes of cold shower to fully wake her up from the sleep that she was deprived off and thirty for her hair and makeup—which wasn't really enough for her but will do for a day's work. Then came the boring part where they open at fifteen to six for the early birds that needed to start their works earlier than others and get their morning coffee.
