Amaranth had grown up in this forest it is and always will be here home. She was raised by this family in the the forest since she was 6, now this family was different than most people because they were wolf faunas. There was Mom and Dad and the sweet Cobalt. Cobalt was 2 years younger than her but he acted older, so he would call him older brother. He had a lot of books on every subject he kept in caves around the forest so he was also very smart and so was she because she read them too.
Now at the age of 14 Amaranth is headed out on her own into the city to live in the city and go to school over the next 2 years she would visit her family in the forest and brought Cobalt new books to read. She had lots of money because even though they lived in the forest they still knew of the world and had found treasure in the forest near the mountains.
Amaranth just started at Signal high school and has plans to go to Beacon University she could get in early because of all the books she read she was the top student in all her classes but she didn't want to. She was in the cafeteria they had TV in there and the show that was on was interrupted for some breaking news the headline read "Police shot and killed monsters" She freezes as she recognizes the 2 people who raised her but no one else. One of her friends leans over and asks "What's wrong?" she doesn't answer and whispers a shocked "no" to everyone's surprise she runs out of the school fast enough to make the track team at the school jealous, she always acted lethargic and never did anything fast, she was very fit mind you but she never showed just how fit she was.
She runs all the way to the forest tears running down her face but she didn't care she had to find Cobalt before someone else did and she was praying that he was alright. She reached the forest and began to search all the caves for him. Finally the last cave he had which was the furthest from the home cave. He was curled in a ball whining back to the opening when he heard her approach his whining ceased and he started to growl she stopped and said quietly "Cobalt"
He immediately stopped growling and turned to look as soon as he sees her he launches himself into her arms and she holds him there not sure how long, her phone rings on a few separate occasions she doesn't even look at it. By the time he broke the contact it was dark. "When tomorrow comes we will get what we can from your other caves and you're going to live with me. Okay?"
"LIVE where those monsters are from. I don't think so" he sounded like he was ready to bolt and never look back. "Look it's the best option and this was I can worry less because I know you will be safer there than out here." "But we are the protectors of the forest." "I don't think the forest needs protecting, but you do. Besides I don't live far from the forest." he still looked unsure but he trusted her so he mumbled out an "okay."
The next day they got back to her house it was a decent size 4 bedroom 2 in the basement and 2 on the top floor the main floor had the kitchen and such she lived in the basement already cause it was cave like and Cobalt put his stuff in the other basement room. seeing as they had time she decided that they should go to the mall and get Cobalt some new clothes. They got back to the apartment for the second time that day as they were discussing the purchase of his coat it was a hooded trench coat that came down to about 4 inches off the ground and was cobalt colored on the inside "I don't see the problem it is awesome." "Ya but where are you gonna where it, it's too hot for summer weather." "Says you."
In the night Amaranth was woken up she didn't know why but she listened and then she heard it, Cobalt was whimpering so she left her nice warm bed to go see what was going on. She very carefully opened the door to his room he was on the bed curled up like when she found him, he was muttering in his sleep and from what she could understand this was a nightmare it appeared that he saw his parents get shot while hiding in some trees seemed officers Fall and Black are the ones that shot them and didn't give a warning either just guns out and bang. She gasps tears escaping her eyes and climbs in the bad and embraces him soon the mutters die and he calms and not long after that she is asleep.
