(Years Ago)

Two children were playing in the forest, jumping in puddles after a storm had stopped. One was a boy around ten years old with red hair, blue eyes, and really pale skin and he was wearing a pair of muddy jeans, a dark colored long sleeved shirt, and a pair of muddy shoes. The girl with him was around eight years old and she had her light brown hair tied up into a ponytail, dull blue eyes that were nearly white, and sandy colored skin and she was wearing a pair of jeans shorts that reached her knees, a purple t-shirt, and a pair of cowboy boots that were soaked in mud.

The two laughed as they jumped in another puddle, water and mud covering them both.

"Your grandmother will have a fit about this." The boy said, kicking up some water at the girl.

"Yeah, but she'll just be happy that we're having fun." The girl told him with a smile.

Both children were covered head to toe in water and mud, but they were smiling and laughing...until they heard growling. The two stopped and stood close to each other, looking around for the source of the growl. The boy was the first to spot the animal: a large blood colored wolf with pitch black eyes was staring at them from between two bushes.

"Stephen...I'm scared..." the girl whispered.

"Wolves can smell fear, Desiree...but we need to try and stay calm." the boy, Stephen, said in the calmest voice possible.

The wolf began getting closer to the children, snarling and revealing bloodstained teeth. The animal's eyes showed nothing but hunger and rage as it charged. The two children turned and tried to run away, but the wolf was keeping up with them with ease.

Desiree ran until she tripped and rolled down a small embankment, her head hit against a tree and knocked her unconcious.

Once Stephen realized Desiree was no longer next to him, he bolted in the direction he last saw her. His eyes widened as he and the wolf were both feet away from the unconcious girl.

Stephen made the first move towards Desiree, but the wolf was faster and prepared to bite down on the girl's neck...but Stephen stuck his arm in the way and screamed in pain from the bite.

The wolf held the boy's arm in its teeth for a moment, then let go and ran off. As the wolf turned to run, its claws left deep marks on Desiree's back.

"Desi...Desi, are you alright?" Stephen asked as he knelt down next to his friend.

No answer, so he picked her up and ran for the small town they lived in.

"Nana Mae! It's Desi!" He yelled a he approached a small house with a moving van outside.

A woman in her fifties with long blonde hair instantly dropped the box she was holding at the sight of Stephen carrying Desiree. Mae was Desiree's grandmother that had been raising her since she was a baby, but nearly every kid in their little town called her Nana. Her and Desiree were actually preparing to move when she told Desiree she could play with Stephen for a while.

"What happened?" She asked

"A wolf...a...big one..." Stephen said as Mae took Desiree.

Mae was worried. "I'll call an ambulance and your parents, you two will be alright."

Mae rushed into the house carrying Desiree and Stephen followed her until he got to the porch and just sat on the front step, his arm was bleeding badly and felt like it was burning.

Not long after Mae hung up the phone, Stephen's parents and an ambulance showed up. Both children were put in the ambulance and the adults all went in the same car.

Desiree woke up three days later and Stephen had to get stitches.

A month later, Desiree and Mae moved.

(Three Days Ago)

Three large wolves were standing in a clearing. One of the wolves was light brown in color, one had grey fur, but the third wolf was a white color with some reddish fur on his muzzle and had bright blue eyes.

They all looked as if they had been fighting, the white wolf looked as if he had gotten the worst of it.

"Looks like you're not much of an alpha..." growled the grey wolf.

"You two ambushed me!" Huffed the white wolf as he struggled to stand. He had visible bite marks on most of his body and a large wound on his throat, his white fur was being stained with his blood.

"And it's time to get rid of you." snarled the solid brown wolf.

The two wolves tackled the white wolf, shoving him to the edge of a cliff. The grey furred wolf moved and the brown wolf grabbed the white one by his injured throat, then tossed him over the edge.

The duo watched as the white wolf landed on the ground below, then the unconcious body rolled down a small hill into the back yard of one of the houses in town.

"Now, let's make our way back before anyone gets suspicious." the light brown wolf told his grey furred companion, who nodded and they both disappeared into the forest.

(White Wolf POV)

The sound of footsteps made me open my eyes. My bloodied vision didn't let me see much, but the outline of a human coming my way was enough to make me try to run. I was in so much pain, I had to stay like this.

The human bent down and tried touching me, but I growled at them.

"Don't...touch me..." I growled, but they didn't seem to understand me as they began to pet me between the ears as if I were some domestic animal.

I just whined and placed my head down, the human easily picked me up and took me inside. They rushed around and kept running to me, but I heard them scream as I blacked out.
