Hello welcome to my story, I hope you enjoy and decide to follow it, I will try to keep my updates within at least a week of eachother, hopefully it will usually be less. That is all for now, enjoy!
I felt my whole body begin to shake with fear, they were about to reach my mother, I ran as fast as I was able, but they reached her first. The largest one put her head in its mouth and clamped down.
I awoke with a gasp, one I realized that I had only been dreaming, I sat up and brought my head between my knees, hoping for a sable breathe to once again return to my shaking body. It was then that I realized the tears streaming down my face; I wiped them away and got out of bed walking to the small wooden chair that held the clothes I had placed there for tonight. I had been having nightmares ever since I came back to camp for the summer. After a while I found that a walk through the woods, outside of camp, and down the hill to the shore of the lake at the bottom, really calmed me and helped me clear my head of the awful nightmares I had, had. I dressed in the black jeans, blue t-shirt, and grey hoodie I had left out for myself, the black jeans held riptide in case I got into any trouble. Then I headed out.
I silently slip out of my cabin and take a quick look around, everyone seemed to be asleep, all the cabins were dark and there was no sound coming from any of them. After assuring myself that it was safe, I quickly and skillfully slip out of camp and into the wilderness surrounding it. Once I am out I take a moment and breathe in the smell of the pine trees before making my way through them, down the hill.
I take my time walking through the large pine forest; I listen to the gentle cooing of the night owls and the chirps coming from the crickets around me, soothing me as I pass through their forest to get to the shore. I am almost at my destination, but I stop when I hear a small whimper. And out of the forest stumbles an injured wolf, the wolf was larger than most I'd seen, but not so large that I worried about it, its fur was grey and dark brown mixed with white, but its belly and legs were tan and white, it had a grey forehead and a brown muzzle, it looked like the average wolf you wolf find in these parts, except for its eyes, they were golden-yellow and almost appeared to be glowing. It whimpered in pain once again, its leg was bitten and matted with blood, I stared at it for a moment before deciding what to do, however it was at that moment when the wolf noticed my presence, its eyes turned angry the hair on its back shot up and before I could react it jumped on my knocking me down, then it took my forearm in its mouth and bit down but instead of me yelling out in pain, the wolf let go and howled in pain before bounding back into the forest.
As soon as it was gone I got up and took a look at the bite, it was a few inches deep and bleeding like mad, but surprisingly I feel no pain. I am extremely confused by this, but ultimately I decide I should still heal it with water, so I continue making my way down the hill to the lake. As I get closer to the lake I begin to feel feverish, so I pick up the pace, however that only makes it worse because then I begin to feel very dizzy. I reach the shore and use all my remaining strength to get to the water, but as I am about to put my hand into the water everything goes black.
I wake up to find my head on a rock, warm from the sun, on the shore of the lake. For a second I find myself confused until I remember what happened last night with my nightmare and that strange wolf. Because it bit me I feel the need to check and see if my arm is healed, however when I look I see a large, furry paw as opposed to my arm. I am startled at this, I look into the water to see my reflection, but what I see is a large wolf, black as midnight, with almost glowing sea green eyes, staring back at me. I continue staring at myself trying to figure what about that wolfs bite made me one.
Then it hit me, I am a monster now. I let out a howl of sadness and distress. The gods, surely the will kill me if they find out what I've become, they will see me as a traitor. The camp will see me as a traitor. They will think I joined against them willingly, even my father would believe them. Sadness overcomes me and my heart hurts. I cant help but think that there really are no other options, I need to leave camp, my father, my friends, my mother, everyone. I need to disappeare and I don't have much time until they notice im not in my cabin and come looking for me.
Panic and urgency strike threw me, I need to figure out where im heading. It has to be the lat place anyone would look for me, where theres a forest, no hunters, plenty of food and shelter. I sit think of places for about twenty minutes before I remember the vacation my mother took me on when I was only ten years old. We had gone to Colorado, it was beautiful there, so many animals and mountains and forests. No hunting was allowed in most parts if the state. It was perfect, I guess I just figured out where I was going.
As I traveled through Pennsylvania and Ohio along the Canadian border and Lake Michigan, I learned some things about my new self. One, I can turn back into my human self if I picture it in my head. My appearance, as a human, however, is different now, am more muscular than I was before, the wolf-thing gives me a visible eight-pack. My sea green eyes are now more vibrant and my black hair is shaggier and, if it's possible, darker. Unfortunately when I change from wolf to human, whatever shirt I'm wearing is ripped to shreds, so now I stick with just either my black jeans or a loose pair of lightweight sweatpants that hug low on my ankle. I also have given up on shoes; I don't enjoy carrying them in my mouth when I go into wolf form. Two, I seem to, now; have a GPS built into my brain, making my journey easy. That and extra stamina and now I'm also really fast in both forms, but I could probably beat a cheetah in a race when I'm in my wolf form. Three, I still have my demigod powers from Posiden, but I only have them in my human form. When I'm a wolf I have some wolf stuff that I haven't figured out yet and my horse talking ability. Along the way to Colorado I've been teaching myself important survival skills as a wolf, like, hunting for my food, making a shelter, and even fighting monsters in my wolf form, because unfortunately I ran into a few. I efficiently avoid all obstacles on the rest of my way through Illinois, Missouri, and Nebraska.
When I reach my destination I stopped to take drink at a near-by stream before looking for a large tree to make my den. After a few minutes of searching the vast forest at the foot of one of Colorado's mountains I find a tree to my liking and begin to dig under it, using its roots as the roof of my den. When it was completed, my den was about four feet under the tree and as wide as its massive trunk. I then bed it with some soft grass that I tore up from a small opening in the forest, near the stream I had drank from earlier. Exhausted, I collapse on the floor of my new home and sleep peacefully the rest of the night.
