Chapter 1: Nightmares.

Blurred memories swam through Irinas mind. She had nowhere to hide, nowhere to run. They were after her, after her mother…..she ran on, and on, and on.

Irina sat up in bed, drenched in sweat, panting heavily. "It's just a nightmare, its just a nightmare," she repeated to herself, like a mantra. She glanced at the clock of the bedside table- 3.45am. "Ugh," she thought " I hate these stupid nightmares!" Suddenly she heard footsteps coming from outside her door. She stiffened, then relaxed as it turned out to be her mother, Sophie Foster. Sophie sighed as she saw that Irina was awake. She sat down next to her on the bed and said "Another nightmare, let me guess?" "Yeah" Irina replied "this is the third time this week!" she burst out. "I know darling, I know" Sophie soothed, tracing slow circles down Irinas back like her own mother, Edaline, used to. "Do you know why your father and I called you Irina?" "Yes Mum, I do know. You called me Irina because my first word was 'wolf' and 'Irina' means 'wolf 'in the ancient runes." "Yes, that's true, but the main reason was because when I looked at you I could see the fierceness of a wolf inside you. So, I know that you might be able stop these nightmares if you put your mind to it." Sophie got up to return to bed-her inspirational pep talk finished-but Irina stopped her.

"Mum, why won't you tell me about Dad?" asked Irina. Her mother stiffened at the mention of Irinas father. "Mum, please, you never tell me anything about him." Sophies shoulders sagged and she said "I won't tell you much, but I can tell you that he was a wonderful and kind man, and when he vanished my heart was broken. You look a lot like him, Irina. I'm sure wherever he is he thinks of you every day. Now, sleep tight, Irina, goodnight!" Sophie swiftly closed the door behind her. "You numbskull!" Irina thought. "You know she always goes like that when you mention Dad!" With that last thought Irina decided she needed some sleep, lay down and closed her eyes, letting darkness overtake her mind.

I know, I know, this was short but more to come in the next few days. Hope you enjoyed reading this- I sure enjoyed writing it!
