Spirit Of The Wolf chapter 4: Not Ordinary
"Well duh it's no ordinary dog Clark! It just picked the lock we put on there and our locks are pretty high tech!" Wally shouted.
"What are we supposed to do? Obviously locks won't do it and what's to prevent this dog from coming into one of the villager's houses?"
"I don't know. Call Batman."
"I already did." Sheyera answered.
"And?"
"He's not answering."
"Great. So, what do we do?"
"I'll tell you what we do." J'onn said, stepping forward. "We run a thorough sweep of the forest. We know something's out there now. We don't stop until we find something. Sheyera you watch from the skies. Everyone else spread out and search every inch."
"What are you going to do?" Clark asked as he made his way to the forest's edge.
"I shall run a physcic sweep of the area. Nothing on this planet can hide from me for very long."
"Everyone nodded in affirmation and headed out to search for this extraordinary creature.

POV: unknown
I have got to find a spot to hide this. Apparently someone caught sight of me before I opened the barn door and called the Justice League. I have lived too long and trained too hard to be hunted down by world-renowned superheroes. More like glory hounds. If they caught me I would be dead. No matter who I am, the moment they discovered what I am they'd consider me a danger to civilians and kill me. They'd get a yes vote from all the magicians in the league that's for sure.
Why do people consider us evil? It doesn't make any sense. We're not evil damned creatures of the night. I see no crime in just being who, or what, I am. We hunt when we need food, not when we lust for blood. The only time we kill or injure humans is when we feel the need to protect our pack or ourselves. Even then we don't like to kill humans
I dragged the dead calf deep within the borders of my forest. I found a good patch of grass and released my grip on my kill. I circled it slowly as to find the best place to start.
As always I go for the eyes first. I hook my top teeth into a socket, but carefully so as not to damage the soft, delicate treat it contains. I latch onto the calf's top jaw with my bottom fangs and clench down as hard as I can. The bones crunch satisfyingly loud under the strength of my jaws. I reach forward and gently pry the treat out and snap my teeth down on it.
I will never tire of the lovely sweet taste of cow eyes. The only thing that tops cow eyes is turkey heart. The only problem with that is that turkeys are so hard to get a hold of alive, without any questions, and turkey hearts are so small that they're hardly worthy of a snack.
I do the same to the other side of the calf's head and start again by tearing open the calf's stomach. Intestine and stomach acid pour from the deep gash and I begin to feast.
Ripping through soft flesh and crunching through hard bone I eat. I am so hungry that nothing else matters except the scrumptious meal laid out in front of me.
"Crunch"
A sound. I didn't make that sound. It wasn't bone. No, it was a twig. A new scent fills my nostrils and I realize how truly careless I was.

POV: Diana AKA Wonder Woman
I do my best to be silent but it's so hard when every inch of the forest floor if covered in leaves and twigs. I realize that I am not going to get anywhere near this animal making noise like this. My feet leave the ground as I take off, slowly hovering over the land. I soar over the ground making absolutely no noise.
I land gently to take a closer look at the ground. I bend down and observe the light trail of blood and bent down blades of grass. I take off again. Slowly and carefully following the trail in front of me.
As I follow a new sound begins to emerge from the forest around me. The sound of heavy breathing and growls and ripping flesh off of bones.
Adrenaline fills my system. I follow the sound, confident that I can take on anything that comes with it. It leads me to a patch of grass and in the middle is the missing calf but what is devouring it is more surprising than anything else.
It's a wolf. A big white wolf. As I set myself down I make the biggest mistake of the night. I made a sound.
"Crunch"
I look down to see that I had landed on a rather large and brittle twig. I look back up as the wolf's head shoots up. Its ears and nose twitch as, I am sure, it picks up my scent. It slowly turns its head to reveal a ghostly white face. It stares at me. Seeming to look straight through me. It stands stock-still and cocks its head as if pondering something.
We just sit there staring at each other. I stare at it and it stares at me. With, suddenly familiar, icy blue eyes.

POV: White wolf
I turn my head around to see one of the two leggeds behind me. How could I have been so stupid? So careless? What will she do?
"It's her. I know her. Diana. Wonder Woman. One of the human bitches in the league. She's the most beautiful human bitch I have ever seen. But wait."
I cocked my head to the side.
"Humans don't like to be called bitches. It's a derogatory term to them. An insult. That doesn't make any sense. In my world to call someone a bitch is simply acknowledging their beauty. Although to the males it is an insult."
She slowly lowers herself to the ground and crosses her legs. I turn around completely and feel myself start to back away.
"Shhhhh. I'm not going to hurt you. I promise." She says in her birdlike voice.
"This two legged wouldn't lie. I can smell no one else near. I see no fire stick but I do see her golden lasso. It's supposedly unbreakable but my kind's teeth can tear through anything. Even the man of steel's skin."
I back up another step. Cautiously keeping my eyes on her lasso. She notices.
"Shhh. Shh. It's okay. Look." She says as she takes her also out of her belt.
I jump and start to quickly turn around. But she throws it away. I turn back around and cock my head at her.
"I promised I wasn't going to hurt you."
I sit down and contemplate why I am being so stupid. The smart thing to do would be to run away as fast as I can.
"I knew there was something more to this. But how? Batman said you weren't a wolf. Batman is never wrong."
She places her head in her hands but then it shoots back up.
"Unless he did know."
She looks back at me.
"He was hiding you. Why was he hiding you?"
Suddenly a presence rips its way into my mind. I can't let J'onn do this. I shut my eyes and throw up my walls. Blocking him. But still he persists. As I block him excruciating pain enters my world.
As he tries repeatedly to enter but I won't let him. I let out a howl of pain that stretches across the entire forest and I fall onto my side.
The feeling of a white-hot blade burning through my eyes and scraping across my brain continues and I yip and whimper and howl while writhing on the ground trying to throw this Martian from my mind.
I feel a cool hand on my side, softly stroking me.
Finally the Martian makes a mistake and leaves himself open so I take it. Effectively purging his presence from my mind.
I get back to my feet and turn towards the woman. I look at her and bare my teeth. It had been a trick after all. My fur stands on end as I growl at her to stay away. I back up slowly and run off into blackness of the night.

POV: still the white wolf but a little later.
I cannot believe I was stupid enough to trust her. I cannot trust humans. They have taken everything from me. Everything. I was told by my parent to never fully trust humans before they were gunned down. All the more increasing my hatred of them. I hate them. They think they own the whole damn world but they don't. I can't be me in their world. I cannot hunt because it's their livestock. I can't walk as myself in the sun because it's theirs. I can't bask in the moon because it's theirs. Lousy, good for nothing, greedy excuse for a species.
I need to protect my forest. I won't let them take it. I won't let them take me.
I guess I'm being a little territorial. But then again when am I not? What more can you expect from a Lycanthrope. A Werewolf.

There we go. I finished this on Thanksgiving. So I'm thankful for having finally finished this chapter. I just saw Twilight last night. It was such a good movie. You need to go see it. Any guesses on who this white wolf is? I left subtle little hints in the story so if you know the characters you should know who it is. Please tell me your theories and for goodness sake REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
