So hey everybody, guess what? I'm sick! Yes, that's right. So, I sat there on my bed with my laptop in my lap and thinking about what I could do, when I suddenly realised I could write another story. Except about half way through I was like "Wow. This is taking a while." So, I decided to be really mean and cut it off half way through, so this is 'Home - Part 1'! Unlike the last oneshot (even though this is technically going to be a twoshot) there IS a song that inspired me to write this story, in the fact I pretty much came up with a movie type thing in my head with this song as the background music, and decided I simply had to write it down. Now, it isn't my best work, I admit. I didn't rewrite it as I usually do with my stories/part of my stories, especially the first paragraph, so if you read it now and then in like two months come back to find it's slightly different, it's because I went over it and modified it a bit. Okay? Now the song that basically this story is based on (well - not really, but you get the idea) will be revealed when I upload part 2. For me, it's quite and easy one to guess but it depends on whether you've heard the song, heard of the singer and which country you actually live in (I'm looking at you, USA people, because I really don't know whether you actually know anything about this singer) or any other country, because according to my others story stats I read a while ago (I don't know what they are right now) I had 16 views from Trinidad and Tobago, 4 from Poland, 4 from Puerto Rico, 2 from South Africa, 2 from United Arab Emirates, 2 from Lativa, 2 from Macedonia and whole bunch of other countries and I just sat there thinking "They have Wolfblood in those countries?!" Well if you are from one of those lovely countries, "HELLO AND THANKS FOR READING MY STORY: OUR DANCING DAYS!"

Now, let's get on before I start saying anything else...so ENJOY XOXO


Home - Part 1

Maddy's POV

The rising Sun burst through the trees and filled the plain with a hazy golden light, while leaving some areas in the dark shadows. The trees themselves seem to glow from within, looking greener than they ever had been. The grass was speckled with gold dust, creating a home for fairies. The sky was as blue as a pool in Summer; the clear quality making it almost invisible. However, none of this comprehended in my brain, because all I could see was an endless track of trees in dusk, the darkness creeping through the woods like a ghost. All I could hear was the endless drumming of my heart, which increased in speed every second, and my hot breath, which I was only finding in short gasps. I was running for my life.

I'd done nothing, to be honest. It was like any other day, waking up to small blue birds chirping and a crackle of a fire burning outside the cave, thinking about Rhydian, because that's all I really did at the moment. At first, the pain was excruciating, but then slowly, it became easier, and although I never forgot him, I was able to live again. However, a few weeks after my seventeenth birthday, I began to feel a terrible burning sensation, yet, I did nothing about it, at least not until this moment.

He came out of nowhere. We often came across other wild packs, but they never had anything particularly against us, but this man burst through the trees with one goal, to kill. He'd heard the rumours, the tames that joined the wild pack, but it was something else as well that he'd come for. He'd come for me, because I was tame, and because I was half of the one of the oldest prophecies in the world, Rhydian was the other. We were, according to the oldest legends, the ones who would join the tames and wilds, and this man was not happy about this. So of course, the most obvious thing to do was silence me, and therefore the prophecy would never be able to come true.

Everyone told me to run; Mam and Dad, who seemed to know about this prophecy but had never told me anything about it, Jana, Ceri, Bryn, everyone. However, I had no time to ask anyone of the prophecy; of how Rhydian and I were supposedly going to unite the tames and wilds. I just had to run. At first the mysterious man did not notice I was gone, but I know he eventually realised, I could smell him, and he came after me.

So this is where I was, tearing through the woods with all the strength I could manage, not knowing where I was going, or where the rest of the pack was. Were they coming after me? I thought about Rhydian, and how there might be wilds coming after him, and he would have no idea why. Even though I thought I had nothing left in me, I felt a single tear roll down my cheek. I hastily wiped it away angrily, furious with myself for the distraction. Although thinking of Rhydian was all I wanted to do, I knew that I had other problems.

Suddenly, I heard a branch snap behind me. I froze on the spot. I couldn't hear anything for a moment, and then a crow burst out from the branches of a tree to my left, before swooping down towards me. For a second I thought it was going to attack me, but it only flew down to retrieve something from the ground. It had given me quite a scare though. Yet, it did make me think about something, which was the fact that I could no longer smell the man. For a few moments, I was deeply confused. The man had gone, which meant he had stopped following me.

I decided to retrace my steps and I broke into a slow run, but it only took me about three minutes before I noticed the scent had stopped following me, and had turned off to the left. Curiosity overcame me and I ventured off after the scent. Not long after I had first started to follow the scent, I came across a small village. It was strangely familiar, but I could not place it. I walked through the streets, checking every corner, even though I knew the scent did not lead me in that direction. I received a couple of odd looks from passerbies, and I knew why. Being in the wild for around a year and and a half had took its toll on me, and my hair was a complete mess, dirt was streaked all over my face and my hands were beyond grubby. I looked pretty disgusting.

Suddenly, my eye caught a sign, and that's when it sunk in just where this man was heading. It said a couple of other towns first, but at the bottom of the sign, it read: Stoneybridge – 5 miles. He was going after Rhydian. I started to sprint and soon I was running even faster than I had been when I was running through the woods. I was running on what was a thin slither of pavement on the main road connecting the towns to each other, but I could see in the distance that I was nearing the end. The man had done the same thing I was planning to do, which was jumping over the small hedge and make the journey through the woods. I'd jumped plenty of things during my time in the wild, and I was getting stronger because of it, but this hedge looked like it was about to collapse and highly unsafe, not to mention high. Even so, when I landed in front of it, I quickly checked behind my back to see if anyone was looking, before making the dangerous jump. My foot landed about three-quarters of the way up, and I thought for a second I was going to fall back, but I managed to grab onto the top with my hands. I cut the palm of my right one in the process, but the pain was manageable, especially since now that burning sensation I had felt multiple times in the past few weeks was finally starting to recede, and the relief it had on my head was much stronger than anything else.

As soon as I was out of sight and hidden deep within the woods again, I felt my body start to transform. I knew it was the best option, for I could decrease the time it would take me to get to Stoneybridge. I felt the dark veins creep up my arms and then up my face, and my usually brown eyes begin to glow with a fiery intensity. Soon I was a wolf, and hurtling myself through the woods, desperate to get to Stoneybridge as fast as I could. Again, like my human body, I had grown stronger in wolf form. I was still small, granted, but I was much more powerful. However, I knew I still did not have nearly as much capability as this man who had clearly lived in the wild all his life and I was trailing behind more than I had hoped.

Soon an even stronger sense of familiarity rushed through me, and I realised that I was running through the woods I had done a million times before in the past, with Rhydian by my side. I transformed back into my human form when I realised I was running down the track to school, where I now realised Rhydian would me. I was still following the scent and it was getting way too close to the school for my liking, but I also knew it was too late, and that the wild wolfblood had evidently found Rhydian, and this broke my heart. Another tear rolled down my cheek, how could I have left him, and this time I made no effort to wipe it away. If anything I was welcoming the tears, because it was the only thing that was keeping me from screaming out to the world. I felt like I was about to explode, but in a completely different way as to full moon days, for it was like I was to explode with anger.

Suddenly I ran out onto the field. I gasped with shock, because I hadn't seen the school in so long, but also because I could see something which I didn't like the look of in the front yard. Rhydian stood in front of a mass of people, including the three Ks, Jimi, Sam and Liam, though Shannon and Tom, though a little behind, stood either side of him. About five feet away, the wild wolfblood stood pointing at Rhydian. I ran harder, though I did not call out to anyone, and nobody seemed to hear me because they were all focused on the scene that was before them, even Jimi looked scared. I began to catch in on what was being said. "I said, what are you doing here?" Rhydian shouted. For a moment, my almost paused to look at him, and my heart fluttered. After not seeing him in so long, all I really wanted to do was jump onto and kiss him, but that couldn't be. His voice I lowered ever so slightly and his body looked more buff than it was last time, but he was still as tall as he was before, shrinking me. No matter how long I might have lived in the wild, I would never have been able to match the strength of my Rhydian; my mate.
