Once upon a time, there lived a chicken, a roster, and a chick in a lovely cottage. On a rainy Saturday afternoon, the chick was cracking bugs open with her beak. For a lack better things to do, she then decided to take a walk in the rain. After about 50 feet, she meet up with a large orange cat named Spanky. She knew his name because it said so on the collar. Anywho, a chase ensued and the baby chick got eaten.
Meanwhile, back in the house, the mother and father were having a argument. They kept throwing pots and pans at each other when they noticed that there child was gone. "Oh, what shall we do?" The mother cried.
"I know, we will go looking for her!" The father replied. So, they whent looking for there only child. As they stepped out there door, they caught sight of the cat...then, I woke up.



And now, for a better story...

Chapter 5
The Hunt


She sat at the table, more tired then she had ever been in her life. She never knew that teaching teens could be such hard work! As she leaned back in her chair, she let out a exhausted sigh and closed her eyes for a bit of rest. "Hard day?" Mark had sat right beside her and was giving her a quizzical look. His eyes were such a beautiful color. She thought that she could just get lost in those deep oceans.

"Yes, very. The Slytherin kids actually listened though," she would rather not tell him about the way she got there respect. She had gotten to everyone today, everyone but Malfoy.

"Really? Tell me what you did."

"No! If I told you that, it would take all the fun out of torturing you," he just laughed. Food was served throughout the Great Hall, and Rose and Mark spent the whole night flirting. He did so because he thought that she was beautiful. She did it because she missed her hearts true desire. She was sure that he would get to her someday. Either that or she would look for him herself.



*****************************



She awoke with a start. Her blood boiled in her veins. Her senses were kicked into high gear. Her heart pounded like thunder and she leapt from her bed and down the corridors. *Not here, not with all of these children in here. Why now? Why me?* She sprinted past a confused Filch who said, "no running in my hallways!" She didn't stop. Her bare feet stung as they each hit the cold stone floor. When she burst out of the front doorway, the humid night air flew past her cheeks. The sky was light up with the full moon. She could feel her body change. Pain shot through her body as her nails turned into sharp claws, her skins became covered in course gray hair, and as her teeth grew into sharp fangs. Stumbling through the lawn, she kneeled at the edge of the lake. The water stopped momentarily so she could see her face. She looked like a cross between a vampire and a werewolf. Her forehead had ridges, her eyes had turned from a crystal blue to a steel gray, her ears looked like a wolfs, and she had teeth of a vampire. If that wasn't bad enough, her whole naked body was covered head to toe in short, gray hair and her hands had claws instead of nails. She was still in human form. Still, she didn't care. *I am a monster. Why was my mother a werewolf? Why me?* Tears flowed freely from her eyes as she leapt up and dashed, without a sound, into the forest.



***************************************



Again, she woke up, this time at the edge of the forest. Her spirits were low and she had cried and howled all night. Now, the sun shown through the forest canopy and the birds were chirping merrily. Running back in to the forest, she caught a whiff of something. Her body froze with sheer terror. Human? No. Monster? No. It was something familiar, like something from a long ago story read to her as a child. An image popped into her head. A man, tall, with deathly pale flesh, came into the nursery. His black robe flowed eerily behind him. She was hiding in the closet. He raised his wand to her baby cousin. Her sister burst in, and pleaded with him. Fearful and hurt tears sprang to her dear sister's eyes. He killed her, and then he closed in on the baby.

"We meet again, Your Highness." She snapped out of her daymare and turned to behold the same evil creature. Her heart stopped and dropped with a sinking thud into her stomach. Her fear suddenly turning to anger, she leaned forward and let out a loud piercing shriek. Waves of sound hit Voldermort and threw him into a large oak tree about 50 feet away. Taking a few steps forward, he groaned and slumped over. He fumbled up on his feet and coughed out scarlet. Dripping blood covered his hands, and he stood in shock. "You..."

"I am your fear," she said in a low and growly voice, "If you ever come near me or my family again, I will hunt you down and kill you." Without hesitation, he ran off. She let him run, it was only a warning.



**************************************



She remembered little of her mother, but she did remember this, "remember child, we need to play a fair game of cat and mouse." She missed her mother dearly. All her life the only things that she knew about her was that she was part werewolf, and she was a leader. A leader of, she didn't know what. That was the very thing she had been searching for all her life. Now walking into the woods, she began to look for food. She sniffed and searched and thought. Why had Voldermort address her as 'Your Highness"? It all made no sense to her. *Who am I?*
