Stick with us to read more :3
It was supposed to be just another full moon, just another meeting. We have gone through the same routine for months now that we have changed. Then they came, they shot my mother and father right away, I'll never forget the lifeless look as the light drained from their eyes. Though I had no time to grieve.
Then I was being carried looking up I saw it was Maria, my best friend's mother. Becoming frantic I started looking around, my heart relaxed when I saw Christophe was carrying Arianna. However, my peace of mind didn't last long. Maria tripped sending me flying. I knew before I turned around what I was going to see, so instead I ran over to where Christophe had crouched down to put Arianna into one of our old forts. As I approached I came to realize that he wasn't crouching over Arianna, the arrow that sprouted from his temple proved that. I ran into his lifeless body and pulled him off of Arianna.
Her green eyes were wet with tears and I could tell she was hyperventilating from the puffs of fog escaping from her mouth. I knew they were coming. I pulled her up and dragged her behind me. The foot steps behind us were gaining and I heard them load the arrow into the crossbow. Shoving Arianna forward I turned around. My eyes changing into their piercing yellow, my canine teeth grew out, and claws sprouted from my nails. That's when I saw who they were, who the real monsters are.
There were two of them. The man had a crossbow in his hand. He was an older looking guy with ashy hair and blue eyes. The other was a young looking female with blonde hair and deep brown eyes. They regarded me in surprise.
"Well, what do we have here little wolf? Lose your mom?" The women smirked.
"Yea, did you lose a couple of arrows?" I growled back.
"It was worth every one of them, I guess not every dog has their day." She laughs.
I felt the rage pulsing through my veins. I wanted to kill her. She was laughing about killing me parents and she insulted me. I was going to make her pay. I looked at her while she continued to laugh. In one swift motion I lunged at her, scoring her face with my claws. I rolled off and began to run only to be knocked down with a sudden burst of pain in my side. Dragging myself up in a howl of pain, I kept running. I didn't know where I was going, all I knew is that I had to find Arianna. She needed me. Suddenly a hand came from behind a tree and grabbed me. One arm held me in front of a man and their hand covered my mouth. I took slight comfort in his heart beating at the same pace as mine, proving he was scared. The man and woman ran past our hiding place, however the stranger waited to speak.
"If I take my hand away from your mouth, you must not scream." he said calmly.
I did my best to nod. He slowly let me go, testing to see if I would scream or try to run, then turned me to face him. I let out a sigh of relief seeing that he was a wolf as well. He seemed a bit older than me, maybe five or six years, and his eyes glowed a pale blue that made everything seem sad. He looked down at the arrow in my side.
"Want me to try and get that for you?" He asked.
"Please do, I can't even think about it." I smiled.
He reached out and grabbed the arrow, putting a finger to his lips and pulled. Hard. I put my hands over my mouth and fell to the ground in pain. He took me carefully and stood me up, then looked at the arrow. His expression became hateful.
"What is it?" I asked.
"The Argents. They are a family of hunters." He said.
"I see." I answered grimly.
"I never got your name before." He looked up at me.
"Faith, Faith Valentine." I answered.
"Nice to meet you Faith, I wish it was under different circumstances, my name is Derek Hale." He said.
"I agree, have you seen any other girls, maybe one with black hair and green eyes?" I asked.
"You must mean that Arianna girl?" He glanced at me.
"Yes, that's her, do you know where she is?" I asked relieved.
"Yea, I hid her in a root cave not far from here when I heard you." He said.
He stood and pulled me up. We snuck through the woods just in case the hunters were still hanging out somewhere nearby. We came to this tree whose roots made a cave. The opening was so well hidden that Derek had to catch me when I almost fell into it. When I managed to get inside I saw Arianna cowering in the corner. She looked up and saw me, letting out a sigh of relief, she hugged me so hard that I thought I would break in half. I took her hand and pulled her out of the cave however, something was wrong. I could smell smoke and Derek was pacing back and forth frantically.
"Derek, what's wrong?" I asked.
"The hunters, they are burning my house down, with my family inside." he choked out.
"I understand, you need to go help them." I answered.
"You can come, but i need to help my family, Faith." He looked at me with fear.
"I'm sorry, we can't, I have to get Arianna away." I said softly.
"I understand." He said.
"We wish you luck, I hope we meet again someday Derek." I hugged him.
"Good luck to you too, good bye Faith, Arianna." He said, running off.
"Good bye Derek!" Arianna called.
Looking up at the full moon we howled and then we took off, in the opposite direction of Derek. I saw an old oak tree and stopped. Taking out my claws I drew a spiral, our revenge symbol, and put the arrow in the middle.
"This little wolf won't forget about you, I will get you Argents, I can promise you that." I growled.
Arianna took my arm and tugged me forward. With one last look at the tree, we ran from the only place that we had ever called home.
