Night fell on the town as Kiba went to sleep after a long day of schoolwork. Calculus had been a killer. He was still sad about not getting the dog he wanted but he had started forgetting. A warm breeze blew over the town. Over at the animal shelter, the owner was making all the preparations for leaving work. He moved over to the problematic dog's cage and locked it. "There so you won't cause me any more trouble." The female dog sat motionless, thinking. She smiled and her eyes gleamed as she made up her mind. She shook her body and shed the mangy brown coat. Her fur turned blue. As she stood up a blue aura enveloped her, a wisp of smoke. She dashed forward and broke through the cage easily. "What is going on?" said the man at the sound. She saw the worker and grinned maliciously. She hid behind a cage as the rest of the dogs started to bark and yelp in excitement.
The man shouted, "Quiet all of you!" as he turned to meet the dog face to face. He didn't know what to do so he just stood there motionless. The dog got really close now; they were only inches away. It whispered "Boo!" The man looked confused and as it dawned on him, he fainted. The dog jumped over the body and ran through the store like a blue bullet as all the dogs barked loudly. She jumped straight into the front door and cut through the glass effortlessly. Once outside she stopped and the blue aura faded. She shook her whole body and as she did, it turned from blue back to the dirty brown that it had been before. She sniffed the air as the warm breeze welcomed her to the world. She was free; she smiled, as she caught the boy's scent. She ran through the busy city hiding in the shadows and away from the cars. She kept going until she reached a small cliff that jutted over the road. She got up on it and looked up at the moon thinking. "Finally, I have found him." As she thought this, she howled at the moon and shed a single tear.
Kiba rushed through the forest, clawing at the trees and dashing forward. As he came to a clearing, he stopped and turned around to see what was chasing him, as he did he saw a wolf's mouth try to engulf him. He flipped it off and jumped from a cliff. He fell for what felt like an eternity, it was almost like flying. Then as soon as he was about to hit the ground the giant wolf's head opened its mouth. "There is no escape." Kiba heard it say. And he fell into its throat.
Kiba woke up with a start. He had fallen on the floor. He had had nightmares but nothing like this. He walked towards the window as he usually did when this happened. He grabbed at his chest it hurt. He was drenched in cold sweat but his chest burned. He opened the window and looked outside to calm himself down. The warm breeze flowing by. "What is going on?" He thought, looking at his chest that kept hurting. He heard a faint howl coming from the cliffs behind his house. "That's weird we haven't had a coyote in a really long time." He didn't want too much thought into it, as he had just dreamt about being eaten by a wolf. "Oh well." He thought to himself as he climbed back in the bed. He went to sleep and forgot about the pain and the howl.
The wolf kept running. She had run for long now from the city to the boy's house. She came to a full stop as she stared at the house and sniffed to make sure it was the right place. She then thought of how to break the news to the boy. She knew he would probably understand but his parents were another deal. For now, she jumped over the fence into the backyard and curled up in a corner. She was too tired to think now, spent from displaying such energy. She would figure something out tomorrow.
