PROLOUGE
I used to try and fit in at school, since I was brilliant they rejected me again and again. They didn't like that I was smarter, faster, better than them at everything. Unlike the other kids I was years above my level. When I was 4 I was in 7th grade, it didn't help that I had photogenic memory.
My ma and pa weren't the greatest parents in the world but I dealt with it. I realized on my 6th birthday that all they wanted was to see me in pain, that's why they beat me, crushed my dreams, because I was not like them. And they didn't like that at all. I never let them see my pain ever again.
After I turned seven I concluded that I was going to run away, from all this hurt, depression, and rejection. So that day I set down to learn all the things I could before my 12th birthday. I dropped out of school and went to teach myself. Luckily the library was stocked on everything I could imagine.
That year I learned many things that formed who I am to this day. I taught myself martial arts of many kinds, Mathematics, Science, the Medical Arts, Social Studies, English, and how to live in dangerous situations. I mean hey, I was going to run away. So why not be prepared for what's out there?
I did plenty enough reading on my free time too. Fantasy and Sci-Fi were my favorite kind, I learned about witches, demons, knights, dragons, ect.
When I turned 12 I declared myself ready for the world. So I set out to make my own destiny in the world.
There was also one more thing I was capable of. On October 31, my birthday ironically, I was celebrating by sleeping under the full moon tonight at this beautiful little lake in Oregon. A 'crack' of a branch was heard from behind as I jumped up ready to attack. Seeing as I had perfected my skills this last year as was walking I was not worried.
Next to a little bush not five feet away, there was a set of yellow eyes looking at me curiously. It belonged to a mother wolf and three of her little babies all hidden behind her. I could tell they were scared of me, but there was no need. I loved animals with all my heart. Especially the wolves. Their fierceness and passion made it impossible not admire them.
I tilted my head like her, and dropped my position, but not my guard.
She must be very hungry with three little puppies, and no pack.
Slowly you reached into your sack on the ground and grabbed the bread you had stolen earlier. Breaking a piece you held it out for her to sniff. Then gently snatched it away, and threw it to her pups. Leaving herself with nothing.
Wow, what dedication she must have to them.
I gave her the rest of my food and she inhaled it like I was going to take it away from her. I frowned as I saw the cut she had about her shoulder. When I tried to touch it she growled and leapt back, but one of her fearless little pups ran and pounced on my lap. It was very surprising I have to say.
I did not expect that to happen. Jeez, he's so cute!
He looked up at you with these huge green eyes, you couldn't help but smile and pet him. The mother growled, but after an hour or so she calmed down and soon joined me by my side with the other pups.
The dark crept up on me like fog over the sea. One second it was bright and shining outside, and the next you couldn't see your hand. I was feeling so strange, I couldn't breathe right. Mia, the name I deemed fit for the mother wolf, came up to me and whined trying to see what was wrong.
I started panting since it was very hot, so I touched my forehead.
HOLY SHIT! I'm burning up. What's wrong with me?
I thought that was the bad part. Then the pain came. It was wretched, I felt as though a thousand knives were slicing me into halves. I heard screaming, but noticed it was my own.
My arms were growing hair! I could feel my bones moving, and growing slowly but surely. Mia, Lu, Su, and Damian stayed with me the whole time. This happened for three days, I know this because I remember counting every second waiting for it to be over. Every night I would get closer to finishing my transformation. On the third night after the first full moon It was done. Looking in the still lake my reflection shocked me.
My god, is that really me?
There was a pure black wolf with silver eyes gleaming in the darkness. I was a few sizes bigger than any other wolf I'd seen. But Mia I noticed was my size too. I didn't realize that earlier. (if your wondering it's in between the size of a normal wolf and the wolves in Twilight) I looked to Mia and howled, she and her pups joined in rejoicing with me for my change.
Mia looked to me and put a thought in my head I guess you could say, I mean that's the only way I could describe the sensation. "So, you are a child of the moon as I thought. I was sent here by my tribe to teach and guide you in the path of light."
Child of the moon? What's that? Is that like a werewolf?
"God no! They don't even compare to us in anyway. They cannot change whenever they want like such" In a quick blur she changed to a woman about 31, that had pale white hair and green eyes. When she changed back she spoke again, and told me of my true heritage.
All I ever wanted was to be normal, but I guess that wasn't meant to be.
My name is Silver.
