Twilight's Creed
Chapter 1: The cry of a Wolf
-Last time-
"What happened?" Sophie finally said, and with that simple statement Twilight's world was about to change.
-Now-
Sophia Donner was horrified to learn of the blood bath that had left her friend an orphan and most of the once massive family dead. The Rayne clan was a family of native Americans and the half-breed's they sired. Twilight was one such halfbreed, Comanche and Celt, the two most warrior like bloodlines in the world. Twilight loved her spirit guardian fiercely and Sophie was astonished to learn said guide was a white wolf, Twilight had said she had dreams of the wolf. It guided her through dream visions and clues, Sophie wondered what would happen if Ruby and Twilight ever met. "Where are you going to sleep?" Twilight's smile sent relief through Sophie. "My car if I have too, I plan on getting a place here and staying." Sophie snorted. "nonsense, you'll stay with me. My dad won't mind since you can take over the spare bedroom. Maybe I an get you a job at the dinner with me." Twilight's laughter caught her by surprise. "I have money behind me dearest, so I won't need a job for a little bit just a place to sleep and shower. Until I find my uncle, anyways." Sophie nodded and turned to head inside. "Want a hot meal and that shower now?" She noticed then the dried blood that caked her friend and her clothing. " Sure. I need a good hot one,and a solid meal I've been driving for nearly two days straight." Sophie grabbed her by the arm but noticed someone very special to her friend was missing. "Where is Higure?" Twilight's eyes got watery, her mask began to crack. "You can tell me all about it while I cook and after you have had that shower."
After a two hour explanation Sophie was bawling right along with Twilight. "So, that's why you ran from him. Bastard!" The two heads turned when they heard a car pull up in the driveway. "Its my dad don't worry." The sheriff walked into his house to see the two young women sitting there crying that his nose stung with the scent of fresh tears. "Sophie? Are you ok?" He asked slightly agitated. "Dad this is Twilight a friend of mine from out of town we met on the net disguising Italy and the stars, she fled here from her crazy ex boyfriend. Please Dad let her stay until she finds her uncle or her own place?" Sheriff Donner was aghast after he learned the whole story behind the young woman's scramble to this remote area and the blood-soaked tragedy that drove her to do it. "Of course she can stay but Sophie, the spare room is full of stuff the basement however, is not. For tonight she can sleep on the couch but tomorrow you guys can go shopping to provision the basement to her needs ok?" Sophie hugged him and dragged her friend upstairs to finally get her shower and relax.
The next morning the girls had been to the small post office and bank as Twilight had money transferred and an account set up and a large queen size bed bought. They took the pieces home and assembled them on large concrete blocks as Sophie warned her that sometimes the basement floor was cold and might gather moisture. They resealed the blocks all around the room and Twilight took a long flat pencil and began to draw on the now white surface. The construction pencil had harder lines to it then a normal one and Twilight's steady hands finished drawing out the massive wolf that now stood guard over her entry way. She drew several more in different poses but there were two up by the head of her bed. On one side she began with a wolf that looked the exact copy of the wolf on her hood and the other a black with silver-gray tips to his fur,ears and muzzle. They had the most detail and the most time spent upon them. Twilight did her best To re-create the drawings in her home. Sophie and twilight spent the rest of the day organizing the basement to suit Twilight's needs. "Twilight and we need to go into town. I have a shift to pull a shift at the dinner."
Twilight's eyes widened and she looked at the time it was nearly 4 o'clock. "Ok I'll take you, I need to go into town and buy some things anyways." As Sophia changed for work Twilight grabbed her keys. And with that the two girls left the house and got into Twilight's now cleaned out car. Twilight's eyes were ever moving as she drive down the wet road, her glasses shielding her light eyes from the low light and giving her a tinted view of the road. As they pulled up outside the dinner one of the hill kids spotted Sophia getting out of the car, and he pointed her out to some of the others. "Hey isn't that the Zoo-bait? What's she doing near a car like that."Twilight emerged from the car and tossed something to Sophia, which to the hill kids was just a plain cellphone. "Call me when you get out and I'll come get you." And with that she was gone, her beautiful machine growling away into the coming night. The hill kids watched her go with looks of awe and excitement, this was someone new to mess with. The sheriff's daughter worked to her usual picky but high standards. When she got back to the house Sheriff Donner handed her a solid metal skeleton key and told her it was the key to the basement's outside entrance, so she could come and go at will. "Thank you for your kindness" he nodded and told her she was welcome and left for work.
Twilight gasped as she drove into town and saw the statue of Lupa, she bowed her head and stopped at the store there in town. She shopped for quite awhile and when she left she noticed a large truck with a cage strapped to the back, she loaded everything into her car and after locking it she walked over to the truck and nearly started to cry. Inside was a white wolf with blue eyes, she tried to get out of the kennel but it was locked tight. Twilight heard some bushes shuffling and saw several pairs of glowing eyes watching her. She went to work on the lock and picked it clean she was wearing gloves, and her pics were best quality she could get. She had the lock off in a heartbeat and opened the cage door as soon as she was out of the way. The wolf sprang free and was gone in a flash of white. She walked back to her car and left town in a happy mood, she had no idea that she was being watched from the woods by glowing yellow eyes. He had seen her risk her freedom by saving Ruby from the poacher. HE wanted to know more about this human, so he would watch her.
