Prologue
Song Lyrics, Thoughts/Journals "Wolf Speech" "Telepathic speech", past events/Dreams

She sighed and tried hard to listen to her dad. He was 'encouraging' her again- which to her was more like chewing her out or using NO tact at all to tell her, how she had apparently screwed up again, "And I not chewing you out-"

She couldn't take it anymore, she'd had enough. Three years after he and her mom got divorced and all he had turned into was a bi-polar bully, "Really- because I'm sorry- but that's what it sound like to me!" Once the words were out she regretted them.

She ran into the house after they pulled up, her brown boots slamming onto the concrete drive way and trying not to turn her ankle. Tears were welling up in her eyes. She didn't remember how many times her father had just smacked her... three more times than he ever needed too. The pain was just beginning to subside. She changed shoes, feeling like a beaten do as she jumped at every noise. She looked out her window and briefly just briefly considered running. The back door was wide open- she could run.

No she couldn't- who would help her sister pick up the pieces when she got into another ridiculous argument with her dad or mom.

She of course like an idiot, got back into the car with her father to go to her sister's cross country meet. Her father droned on and she couldn't answer his questions- after all how could a BRAT like he so called her have them, or at least ones good enough for him. She was still crying when they got out of the car, he sighed and handed her his sunglasses, "Eyes are all puffy and red - looks like you've been crying- then again you have been."

She put them on without complaint, Oh right, she growled; don't want to look bad do you –in front of all these people you don't know!

She watched her sister run, she got 10th place. After that was time for the boys' race. She sat down on the concrete, and pulled her phone out of her pocket, "Stay here," her dad barked, "I'll look for your sister."

Her temple was still throbbing, but no bruise in site, she looked around in this chaos- one could sneak away without getting caught. She was good at blending in, barley anyone noticed her anyhow.
She sighed, and then made up her mind. She looked around, everyone was waiting for the starting gun for the boys.

She took her phone and her dads glasses and threw them both on the ground.

BANG!

The boys ran - so did she.

Run for your life my love,
Run and you don't give up,
With all that you are,
All that you want,
I will be close behind,
Run for your life.

Run for your life, by: The Fray
