I was listening to my iPod in the car, while my two sisters, that are twins, are "debating" the pro's and con's of this old song that mum and dad are singing at the top of their lungs. I can't wait until we move in with Aunty Sarah because I love her cooking and the forest is just out the back door. Three hours later the torture is finally is finally over. We had arrived at a small town called La Push. La Push is an Indian Reservation. This is the town where I was born. My two sisters, Casey and Kate were born in San Francisco but we are all still true Indians because my parents are both Indians.
"Aunty Sarah we have missed you" yelled Casey and Kate.
"I've missed you too" replied Aunty Sarah.
Aunty Sarah, mum and dad sat down for tea while Casey and Kate went down to the beach to go swimming. I ventured to my room and started to put away my clothes when, I discovered a box under my bed with articles from newspapers of giant wolves that were killing hikers. Just as I finished reading the second article, Aunty Sarah came in,
"What are you doing going through my stuff?"
"Oh...umm...I was putting my stuff away and I saw the box under the bed so I started reading the articles and they are so fascinating. Is it true? I mean the giant wolves?"
"Look you need to learn not to look through other people's stuff" yelled Aunty Sarah.
She snatched up the box and stormed off. I stood there stunned for a few seconds. I could not believe that Aunty Sarah yelled at me. Me! A few hours later we were all sitting around the table eating dinner. When Aunty Sarah finished her dinner she got up and left the house.
"Where did Sarah go?" asked Mum.
"Stuffed if I know" I answered. Mum and Dad exchanged a confused look. Not understanding my black mood.
Later on that night I got dressed in a warm coat, jeans and boots and headed down the stairs to were mum and dad were watching TV. As I headed for the back door, when mum asked,
"Where do you think you're going, young lady?"
"For a walk. Why? Do you think that a great, big, giant wolf will eat me?"
"Keep your mouth shut Jasmine. You don't need to drive stupid fantasies into everybody's head" replied Sarah in a hard, cold tone.
"Sure. Whatever. I would like to know where you have been the last hour."
"Jasmine that is none of your business. Whatever has happened to you? Ever since you came here you been in a black mood and ignoring Sarah all the time" asked mum.
"I am going for a walk in the forest and I will be back before midnight and my mood will be different."
I've been out here for hours. I can't find my way back. I could yell out for help, but there would be no one around for miles. Suddenly I hear a rustle and I turn to see yellow eyes that are almond shape. The yellow eyed creature started running at me. I turned and started running as fast as I could. The yellow eyed creature was a mountain lion. The mountain lion was catching up fast. Then out of know where a giant wolf jumped over me and started attacking the lion. I could not believe my eyes this was the same wolf from the article, but it was not attacking me it was saving me! When the wolf finished killing the lion it turned to me and crouched back on its hind legs and howled, then ran away. I walked in which way I thought was south. The forest never got thinner it got thicker and thicker. I sat down on the ground and used a log for back support. I am cold. I am shivering. It's getting worse. I swear I have hypothermia. I lie down on the soft ground and my eyes slowly fall closed.
