I don't really understand how it happened but one minute I was reaching for a small, wolf-like statue and the next...I was in a forest.
But let me back up a bit and explain. I was in the middle of one of my college classes, History, which was my worst subject at high school. Thinking back I should have studied harder and now I was making up for it as I listened to my teacher drone on and on. Truthfully I was only taking the class to get my High School diploma since I failed one class.
It was in danger of falling asleep from boredom until she showed the class the wolf statue. To my suprise I realized it was some sort of totem. While she explained what it was and where it came from I found myself drawn to it and ignoring the stares the class gave me I rose from my seat.
"What are you doing? Sit back down." Someone said but I ignored the voice, instead walking closer and closer to the totem. In a flash I was standing before it and as I reached for it she tried to stop me but I was too fast, grabbing it.
That's when it lit up and I cried out in alarm, the bright light making me close my eyes. When the light faded I could hear running water and the sounds of animals as I cracked open my eyes, to find myself in a forest.
"Okay...this is a weird dream." I mumbled, finding the wolf totem still gripped tightly in my hands. For a moment I just listened carefully, hoping this was just a dream and I wasn't going mad. But then I heard a low growl coming directly from the tall grass in front of me. "Definitely not a dream." I mumbled as something leapt in front of me.
