Hello All! This is my first Wolf Lake Story, so try and be easy on the reviews. ^_^ I'll try my best, for I LOVED the show and want to try something that would be a proud spin off from the original. Also, seeing as my Muse won't allow me to have nay ideas on my other Work "Destiny" and only on Wolf Lake, I decided to write it down. ENJOY!
Disclaimer: I don't own Wolf Lake, I wish I did, but I don't L
Chapter One
Shana McSedia brushed her long red hair from her face with her hand as she watched her foster father speak with the police. It had been the second time in less than a month that she had attempted to run for this hell-hole which they called a foster family; and it was, as last week, she had been caught trying to board the Grey Hound bus. It wasn't that she was being abused here, for the police had checked out the McSedia family last year when Shana had attempted a similar act, and she was obviously loved by both her foster parents and her younger brother. But there was that piece of Shana that felt she didn't
belong here. That her pace was somewhere else; it wasn't the normal teenage 'I don't belong here' feeling either. Many of her friends had told her that they too had a similar feeling, but theirs lacked conviction and direction. With these feelings of misplacement came the knowledge of where she could go to belong.
Shana was quickly roused from her musings when her foster father, Richard McSedia, shook hands with Detective Gram and began walking back to the warm of his home. "Ah, here comes your father." Shana's foster mother, Lucy, spoke while rubbing her foster-daughter's shoulders. 'He's not my father' popped into her mind the moment Lucy stood from the love seat next to the front window and moved to greet her husband who was entering the house.
"Shana." The command was simple, but that was what it was a command, no matter what anyone said. Shana though knew from past experiences and the fact that she was to turn 18 in 2 days that she had little to no obligation to obey her foster-father. "Shana, honey, please come here." This time the pain behind the words was what spurred her to leave the warm couch.
"Yes, Richard?" She had never called her foster-parents 'mom' or 'dad'. Even when she was little and could barely walk, let alone talk, those words were never associated with the two adults standing before her.
"Shana, honey, I know that you feel that with your birthday only two days away that you can run off. But you can't, I am still your father, love, and as long as you sleep under this roof, you will listen to me." Mr. McSedia smiled lightly at his daughter, nodded once and walked to the kitchen with his wife.
'Live under your room, eh?' Shana thought, 'But once I am 18 I no longer have to live with you." Shana walked to her room on the second floor of the old victoiran-style house and locked the door. Reaching over to her desk she pulled out a map she had brought many years ago when she and her foster-family had taken a road trip on summer. Opening it, she looking loningly at the town circled in red by her crayons from when she was 8. "In two days I'll be gone, and on my way to my real family. Where I belong, in Wolf Lake." A single tear dropped upon the circled town. " Soon, Tyler Creed, your sister will come home."
OK, I know it's incredibly short for a first chapter. Not even a chapter, it's more like me trying to get some ideas down on a page so I can think of something else besides Wolf Lake. I'll be writing A LOT more tonight!!!
