"All things in the world are two. In our minds we are two, good and evil. With our eyes we see two things, things that are fair and things that are ugly... We have the right hand that strikes and makes for evil, and we have the left hand full of kindness, near the heart. One foot may lead us to an evil way; the other foot may lead us to a good. So are all things two, all two."

Flashback

"Grandfather…" He turned slightly to see me. I walked a sat down next to him taking his hand. "Tala." He said with a cracking voice. He was the only one who called me that. "Tala, do you know what you name means?" he asked me. I nodded, "It means little wolf." He looked out the window. "I feel as if I have two wolves fighting in my heart. One wolf is the vengeful, angry, violent one. The other wolf is the loving, compassionate one. He looked in my eyes. "You are the loving one." I started to shake my head disagreeing with him. He held his hand up to stop me.

"You will win the fight and live a long healthy life. And me…well it's my time to go now." I could feel my eyes start to water. He was the only one left of our tribe, except for me. "Tala, here's what I want you to do." I nodded. "Go to Washington; find a little reservation called LaPush. Ask for Billy Black, remember the name. Stay with him he will keep you safe." I looked at him confused. I didn't even know this guy, how could I live with him. My grandfather took my hand and placed something in it. I looked down and saw a necklace with a wolf's paw print on it.

"Go now. Just remember where you came from and that I will always be with you." My grandfather said. He was always so spiritual and graceful. He was defiantly old fashion. "I love you." I said and turned on my heel. Then I left him.

I was the only person left in the Kolchak tribe. The only shift shaper left.

I woke up to the sound of moving cars on the highway. I stretched my paws out and saw my white fur. Because of our-my tribe we had different legends, different spiritual stories and because they were real I was a fucking wolf. Ours was that my great-great-great grandfather had the power to turn himself into the wolf. Not a regular forest wolf. Something much bigger, like the size of a horse. But since I'm a she-wolf, I'm a bit smaller, a bit different, and a bit faster.

I knew other tribes had legends close to ours, but I haven't seen anyone like me. I knew I was alone now, I knew I could tell everyone my little secret and act like a crazy person. But, I wouldn't do that. Me being a wolf was a secret that I had to keep. I still remember the day I had phased. It was horrible. The pain I felt was like no other, I wasn't alone but I was defiantly confused.

I got up on all fours and took a deep breath. I froze, a sweet smell to the point I wanted to chop of my nose was in the air. I remember that scent. The same scent that killed most of my tribe. A leech. I close my eyes to concentrate. Where was the blood sucking leech? I heard some leaves on the trees. It was here.

I took off to my right, following the stench. I let all my thoughts leave my mind and just ran my life out. Then I saw it. She had red curly hair, not to mention she was white as hell. And as far away I was I could feel the coldness of her. She turned to me slightly confused then smirked. She wasn't the one that killed my family, but she was the same monster as them.

She took off to the right, for a vampire she was fast. In a matter of seconds I was on her tail. Then I smelled water. A river or ocean was near. Then when the trees disappeared behind me there was a cliff. For my experience I knew leeches could swim faster than running. I stopped dead in my tracks to let the 'thing' jump into the sea. I howled in frustration. I hated the bloodsuckers and I could tell there was a bunch of them in this town.

I turned around slowing shaking my big head. That's when I saw it. I black wolf and at least seven behind it. To my surprise they were like me and not like the real wolves you see on a daily basis. To tell the truth I was a bit intimidated. Eight against me? The black one came from behind the trees so I could get a closer look and the rest followed him. The black one was probably the biggest one, but the brown russet looking one was close behind. The rest of the wolves were gray-ish or dark colored. I snarled at them, I was so confused. Were they like me? Were they werewolves or just some big ass wolves? I showed them my teeth, they seemed so calm, but I didn't care. They were all looking at me. I howled and took off into the forest away from them. The only thing that came to my mind was 1. If they were like me, I couldn't communicate with them since I wasn't in their pack and 2. If they were like me, I wouldn't be alone.

I ran until I hit a little beach with tiny houses near it. I phased behind a tree and pulled on my tank top and shorts. I hated how every time I would get pissed off, I would ruin a good pair of clothes. I walked on the beach for a good amount of time. Until I got tired and sat in the sand with my head resting on a log and my hands behind me head. I heard the waves of the ocean break against the floor. I sighed, how relaxing was this? Why haven't I come here before?

I was just about to drift off in a little nap, (which would be bad since the little leech is running around) until I heard some voices behind me. I looked over the log and spotted a gang of people, with only one girl. Since I have wonderful hearing I could tell what they were saying. "I'll go talk to the elders; this wolf was not a part of our pack. We have to found out who it is." A large guy said with a deep voice. "Just keep look out, I don't trust this wolf one bit. Jacob and Embry go patrol." He said again and hurried off.

I turned back around and started to relax again. Then it hit me. They were talking about me; they were the wolves near the cliff. And just to make sure I was right I saw the two kids Embry and Jacob I suppose phase and run off into the woods.

I defiantly wasn't alone.
