Chapter 1: Defying Instinct
Klaus' POV:
"Psst, hurry! Quick before they notice that we're gone!" Kol shouted.
I quickly made my way towards Kol with Henrick right behind me. Tonight we were going to sneak out and watch the Original Pack shift into werewolves. Kol and Henrick were determined to see the pack transform into their beast forms. Somehow Henrick had managed to convince me to go with them. I knew that if they got caught Father would be beyond furious so I decided that we would be less likely to get caught if I went with them. Mother and Father were too busy with helping the village get settled into the caves that they wouldn't notice if me, Henrick, and Kol weren't there.
Kol, Henrick, and I had used one of the more abandoned tunnels to make our escape. This tunnel had a small opening where we could all climb through and break out into the night. Kol had already managed to make his way through the small hole, Henrick then went after him and I went through the hole last and made sure to hide the gap with a couple of logs and rocks.
It was so dark, but the moon was so bright that it helped me see. I saw Kol and Henrick running through the woods trying to find a spot that was hidden from the werewolves. I ran after them and we finally decided that it would be safer to climb some trees and watch them from there.
The woods were deathly quiet as we settled into out positions on the trees. Henrick had climbed the same tree as I and Kol climbed the tree right next to us. "I don't hear anything. Maybe they aren't as dangerous as everyone tells us." Kol whispered with a devilish smile.
"How about when we see the pack, you climb down, and test that theory, eh Kol?" Henrick and I silently started laughing while Kol pouted. Our laughter stopped as soon as we heard the first howl.
We saw the wolf sitting on top of a hill looking up at the moon. Its howl stirred something in my chest as I listened to the breathtaking sound coming out of its jaws. As soon as it ended we heard the other werewolves responding to it with their astonishing howls.
More wolves stared emerging from their hidden places and stared sniffing the air and growling. Werewolves were known for hunting human prey, hence the need for the village to hide in the caves. They were lightening fast and demolished everything in sight. There was no such thing as a human being in control in their wolf form. Instinct took over instantly.
"Look at them Nik. They're so big and fast." Henrick was looking at the werewolves with big round eyes. The werewolves were running swiftly all around us and it was hard to keep up with them. All I saw were gray, black, and brown flashes of color run straight underneath us. I noticed Henrick inching closer to the end of a branch trying to get a closer look at the wolves. "Henrick be careful. Hold on tight." I whispered. I looked over at Kol who was just as stunned as Henrick was.
And in that second, the world stopped rotating.
Henrick had fallen down. My heart beat quickened and my hands started sweating. For a second, all thoughts had left my mind. I saw Henrick hit a couple branches on the way down and land on the ground with a loud thud. I raced down the tree and examined his body. He wasn't moving.
This is all my fault. Mother and Father are going to be so disappointed and furious with me. I was going to get the beating of my life. Henrick started moving a bit and I whispered "Henrick, are you okay? Answer me. Is anything broken?" His eyes fluttered open and he looked up at me with scared hazel eyes. "I think I just hit my head really hard. Mother and Father are going to kill us." he whimpered. I helped him stand up and leaned him up against the tree. Where was Kol?
"Kol! Where are you?" I loudly whispered. "Kol, now is not the time for your tricks! We have to leave before the wolves notice..." my voice faltered and I suddenly understood why Kol was so quiet.
We were surrounded by two very large wolves. They were slowly stalking us like prey. Kol and I immediately stood in a protective stance shielding Henrick. I looked around to see if there was anything I could use against these wolves. Nothing. Twigs, leaves and small pebbles covered the forest floor.
The closest one to Kol was a bit smaller than the one closest to me and it had light brown fur with yellow eyes. I never let my eyes drift off the big, jet black wolf right in front of me. Both wolves snarled and snapped their jaws at us. They were in hunting mode and no one was coming to rescue Kol, Henrick, and I.
Kol and I quickly looked at each other, silently delivering messages that we couldn't say out loud. The jet black wolf was about to attack us and all I could think was this is it. I am going to die. I wasn't man enough to protect my brothers. And I would leave this earth with no one loving me. I closed my eyes just as the wolf leaped into the air, waiting for its jaws to close around my body.
Pain. It seemed like I waited ages for the pain to come. I heard growling and jaws snapping but could not figure out why I wasn't in pain. I finally opened my eyes and was shocked at the scene in front of me.
A very white, dazzling young wolf was fighting the two wolves who were just about to attack us. The moonlight lit up her fur so beautifully that it looked like it sparkled. The white wolf was smaller than the black wolf but fought very courageously against it. The small brown wolf turned to look at Kol and I, knowing that we were distracted by the fighting wolves in front of us.
The white wolf stopped fighting the black wolf as soon as it saw the small wolf getting ready to attack us. It sped over to us and stood right in front of us. It barred her sharp fangs but not to us. Its aggression was aimed towards the other wolves. It was protecting us. This pure white wolf with sparkling blue eyes defied everything that I was told about the wolves.
The fair wolf let out a ferocious growl. The two wolves knew it wasn't going to back down and quickly left to go find another meal. It turned to us and let out a small growl.
"I think it wants us to leave." Henrick whispered. Mesmerized by the wolf, I shook my head to snap out of it and turned to Henrick and picked him up and laid him in my arms. As fast as we could, we half-walked and half-ran to the small opening that I had covered up. I turned back and was surprised to see that the wolf had followed us.
Henrick jumped out of my arms and slowly walked towards the wolf. "Henrick! What are you doing!? It could bite you!" I ran towards Henrick and pushed him behind me. But Henrick escaped my grasp and started again towards the wolf.
The wolf didn't move as Henrick put his small hand on the wolf's head. "See, Nik. She won't hurt us."
"How do you know that it's a female?"
"A pure white wolf is meant to be a lovely lady." Henrick then reached up and took off a necklace that I had made him when he was born. I had carved a small half moon with a star next to it out of wood and made a small hole in it to put a piece of string through it. He then put the necklace around the wolf's neck.
"I don't know how else I could repay you but I hope you will keep this necklace as a token of my gratitude. My brother Nik carved it for me and it's the most precious thing I have. It looks even better hanging around your neck then it does on mine."
Henrick ran back to me and I pushed him through the opening to the caves. I turned back to see her one last time but she had already left.
"Hurry up Nik! Mother and Father are looking for us!" Kol yelled.
I scurried my way into the caves and made sure no one could find the small hole that we left from. I knew I had to see her again. I needed to find out who she was and why she saved us.
The title was inspired by Kelly Clarkson's song called Dark side.
