"Did you here? There was another attack last
night," said Amy as she and Serena walked down the street.
"Oh no, not another one. That make like 4 this month
doesn't it?"
"Yes, it does. It also make a total of 18 attacks in the
last 4 months."
"Yikes. That's a lot. How many were attacked this time?"
"3, they were all walking through the park north of here a
bit, you know the one," Serena nodded showing she knew
which park was being described. "Well, that's where they
were attacked. No one was seriously hurt this time, but
they say it was the scare of their lives."
"I can't believe they haven't caught that dog yet. It has
caused so much trouble lately. One of these days it might
even kill someone. They have got to do something soon,"
sighed Serena.
"I know what you're saying, but it is not that easy. The
thing attacks and then runs. No one can ever report it
fast enough. Also I hear that they are now saying it is
some type of wolf, not a dog. People who have been
attacked have said it looks like some huge black wolf,"
said Amy with a slight confused look of her face.
"What's wrong?"
"Well I can't understand how a wolf got here. I mean we
live in the middle of the city. Where did it come from?"
"Who knows? Maybe it escaped from some private collection.
You know, the ones that you always here about, but never
see. Maybe it just got out of its pen, and since it has
been attacking people the owners have been afraid to come
forward. I mean that would explain it."
"Yea I guess. But still it does still sound pretty weird
though."
"Come on Amy. Lets talk about something else. Hey I'll
race you to the arcade. It's just around the corner.
Ready? Go!' shouted Serena as she took off down the rest
of the street. Amy picking her pace up to a jog tried to
get Serena's attention.
"Serena! Wait! You shouldn't run around a corner you could
hit…someone," said Amy a bit to late. Serena had already
run right into someone, and was sitting on top of them on
the ground.
"Oh no! I am so sorry. I didn't mean to run you over. I
wasn't paying attention and I didn't see you. I am so…"
"Don't worry about it meatball head. I am used to you
running me over. But if you don't mind, you're heavier
than you look, and I would really like it if you would get
off!"
"Darien! Well in that case I'm not sorry at all," and in a
sense she wasn't. "If only he knew how much I like running
into him," thought Serena as she got up off Darien.
"Now if you two will excuse me, I got to go," said Darien
as he got up and glanced at his watch. "See you!"
Serena watched as he jogged down the street and turned to
corner. Glancing back at Amy she smiled.
"I still can beat you to the arcade," and with that she
took off running again.
"She never learns," sighed Amy taking her time getting to
the arcade. When she got there she saw Serena leaning
against the wall waiting for her to catch up.
"What took you so long? Did you walk?"
"Yes."
"Yes? What kind of racing is that?"
"It's called 'Amy doesn't want to run' type racing. What
do you think?"
"I think you are just being lazy," laughed Serena as she
and Amy entered the arcade. As they entered the bells
above the door jingled, catching the attention of Andrew
who was standing at the counter talking with a costumer.
"Amy, Serena what's up? You two want your usual," asked
Andrew as he prepared their usual snacks knowing what they
would say.
"Andrew, you ask us this everyday, and every time we say
the same thing. Yes, we would love our usual," said Serena
as she and Amy headed over to an empty booth to await
their snacks. A few minutes later Andrew walked over with
their food and set it down. Sliding next to Serena he
handed a piece of paper to Amy.
"Your mom called," he said. " She wants you home by 9. She
says she is worried about the attacks and stuff. I told
her I would tell you."
"9! Man, that means that I have to leave here in like ten
minutes. This is so unfair," sighed Amy as she started
eating a little faster.
"Don't worry about it Amy. We can get together tomorrow.
How about if we meet here at like noon or so?" asked
Serena.
"I can't. I am going out of town for a few days. I won't
be back till Thursday night."
"Thursday night! That's five days! What am I going to do
for five days?"
"I'm sure you'll think of something. Hey thanks for the
food Andrew, and the message. I guess I will see you guys
in a few days."
"Bye Amy. And don't worry. I'll keep Serena out of trouble
for you."
"Thanks."
"Andrew! I don't need a baby sitter. And Amy I want you to
call me when you get back," said Serena as she watched Amy
head out the door. Looking at the sky, she saw that it was
slowly turning from sunshine blue to the starry night.
"Serena, maybe you should head home too. I think Amy's mom
had the right idea. The attacks only happen after sunset,
and the last one was pretty close to here."
"Andrew, did I not just say that I did not need a baby
sitter? I'm a big girl, and I know how to take care of
myself."
"Serena, its not that. I'm just worried. I mean I am your
friend and all. I don't want to see you get hurt. That's
all," said Andrew a bit upset.
"Ok, ok. I get the point. I'll go home. Are you happy now?
Oh, do I need to call when I get there. You know just
incase," said Serena with a bit of a laugh as Andrew
sighed and shook his head. "I'll see you tomorrow. Bye
Andrew!"
"Bye Serena," said Andrew as she headed out the door, into
the now night air.
Walking down the street Serena noticed there were not as
many people out as usual. "Must be afraid," thought Serena
as she turned and headed into the small park that had the
trail leading to her house, not even worry about anything.
Walking at a so-so pace Serena hummed to herself as she
looked at the stars in the sky. It was cloudless and the
stars stood out wonderfully against the black/blue sky.
Lost in thought she made her way along the trail nothing
catching her attention except the stars. Nothing that is,
until the snapping of a stick behind her. Turning she was
thrown to the ground, getting the wind knocked out of her.
Two huge paws had her pinned to the ground, and the weight
of the beast over powered her. Her eyes, closed in fear
could just see the wolf. Its head close to her own and
its' breath was warm and blowing against her face. She
knew what was coming, and she waited. But then the
growling stopped. Still she waited. Nothing happened. No
teeth, no claws. Slowly she opened her eyes and found
herself staring into the face of a wolf, staring into eyes
the color of the ocean with bits of ebony black hair
falling over them.
