Funny story, This chapter was actually a dream I had. Of course I left out the part of the giant rubber chew toys and dancing hot-dogs.

Enjoy!

Prologue

18th August, 1997

Red eyes followed my movements through the graveyard. I ignored them and continued on my journey, hoping to get there before midnight. I walked through the rows of graves, the mist parting before me and then engulfing me like a cloud. Although the mist was dense, I could see everything. The sound of soft footfalls behind me got louder as the something that had been following me ran to attack.

I ducked, the grey mass soaring over my long auburn hair. I growled as the hair spun in a wide arc aroung my face, blocking my veiw momentarily. I shortened it using my powers and smiled as my hair turned back into my naturally messy short pixie cut. Paired with the old circle frame glasses I use sometimes, I look almost like a twin of my brother.

I spun and picked up a dead branch from the ground, preparing for the next attack. As far as I could tell there was only three of them, which was lucky, seeing as I was both mentally exhausted and physically exhausted as well.

The full moon high in the sky didn't help either, illuminating the graveyard, casting the world into shades of black and white.

They circled me, snarling like vicious animals, which is exactly what they were. One of them lunged and the green light from my wand hit him in the chest. He fell to the ground and changed back into his human form, a scruffy man of about 40 with graying black hair.

His lifeless eyes watched the night sky. I side stepped over a low headstone, trying to head in the opposite direction to where I had been heading.

The other two's growls got louder, as if compensating for their lost companion. These animals were nothing like the ones in the compound. They continued to circle me, making the distance between us get smaller and smaller until I could reach out and touch one with my hand. They grey wolf jumped at me and before I had time to react, bit into my face.

I screamed as the saliva made my skin burn. I withered in pain before trying to tug myself free of his powerful jaws. I succeeded in releasing the jaws of the wolf by breaking them apart. He whimpered in pain for a second before he started to claw at my chest, trying to rip through my skin.

I raised my arms to protect myself, earning myself more scars for my trouble. I shook the wolf free, and turned to run. I had gotten 10 meters before I turned and punched the wolf chasing me in the chest. I felt the chest cave under the force behind my punch.

He lay on the ground, howling in pain. He transformed back, the howls turning into human whimpers of pain. The last wolf growled at me and we stalked each other before flying at each other.

We collided head on, before falling to the ground in a tangle of fur and fangs. We grappled for a minute before I could find my way to his throat. Without hesitation I bit down hard and ripped his throat out.

He fell at my feet, blood dripping from the gaping wound in his neck as he changed to human form. I walked slowly, tired from the fight back to the man that was still wheezing and whimpering. I knelt down next to him. He looked up at me and cowered away from me.

"Please, just kill me." He begged, his voice distorted through his cracked jaw. He tried to back away from me.

"Maybe next time you'll think before you attack a helpless little girl" I said as I gripped his head with two hands and snapped his neck. I stood up slowly and wiped my red hands on my bloodstained jeans. These would have to go. I made the bodies vanish before I continued walking for another ten minutes, positive that nothing would jump out of the shadows and try and attack me now.

I slowed down as I reached my destination, two worn graves at the back of the cemetery. I knelt be the first and wave my wand, conjuring a crystal vase of white roses.

"I love you, brother." I said as I placed them on the white marble headstone before moving on to the next one. I sat down facing towards the grave and stared at the name engraved on the headstone, the words cutting through me even more so than the claws of the wolves. Tears ran down my face as I conjured a single pure white lily.

I kissed it once, before placing it on the earth. A drop of blood fell from my fingertips on to a petal, staining the delicate petal a deep gold. I stood up, and without looking back I walked out of the cemetery.

I walked for several hundred meters before stopping behind a small cafe, I looked around, making sure no one had followed me before I closed my eyes and with a small pop, disappeared.
