Chapter 2

The walk home was long but I'm finally at the edge of my farm. It will probably take me another twenty minuets to get through the dense forest. I start into the forest but there is something different about it today. It seems more mysterious than usual, like something is going to jump out at me any minuet now. I put this feeling in the back of my mind and I continue into the forest a little paranoid but that is the way I am.

Something moved in my peripheral vision, I turned to see what is but nothing was there. 'I'm seeing things' I thought to myself trying to convince myself that it was true. I walk for another couple of minuets until I reach the clearing that is in the middle of our forest. It's then that I realize why I feel so uneasy. There are no animals running about no birds singing, nothing is moving at all on this nice warm spring day.

I walk in to the middle of the clearing and slowly turn around in a circle trying to see if anything is around. There is a faint but growing sound in the distance. It sound like a stamped is heading my way. I turn around to see to see a herd of white-tail deer headed strait for me. There are 8 doe's, 3 fawns, and 7 bucks that all had that look like they were being hunted. They just rushed passed me like I wasn't even there. One of the fawns fell a few feet in front of me. Two wolves pounced on top of it once it was on the ground. These weren't your regular wolves though, these were werewolves.

I stood there in shock as I watched them tear apart the fawn like they hadn't had anything to eat in a while. In a total there were four wolves in the clearing. Two of them fought over the remains of the fawn, and the other two were looking at me. When I finally came out of shock I screamed, "Jared what did I tell you? I specifically told you that you're not allowed to hunt in this forest, and also not when I am around!" I finished yelling at them and realized that they were all staring at me. They all had a puzzled look on their faces. "Jared? Sam? Isaac?" I asked in a slightly worried tone. These wolves were not Jared's pack.

They were different wolves. These wolves have different fur and markings from the wolves I know from Jared's pack. There was one wolf that was standing at the edge of the clearing that has black fur, a silver ring around it's left ear, a silver ring half way up its tail, its fur made a silver two on its side, it had emerald green eyes, and it had a scar over its right eye. The other wolf at the edge of the clearing has red fur, black eyes, orange highlights throughout its fur, and a white ring around his left eyes. The two that were fighting over the fawn have brown fur and the other had white fur. The one with the brown hade golden eyes, a poofy tail, a silver diamond on its nose, and black highlights on its tail. The one with the white fur had very light blue eyes, he had a black scar the looked like it rapped around its stomach, an it had a small black insignia on his chest.

I heard some rustling coming from behind me, I turned to see Jared in his wolf form running towards me. He has grey fur, teal eyes, a pink scar on his back right leg, and long fur. He stopped so he was standing right in front of me, like he was protecting me. He let a low growl erupt from his chest warning the other wolves to not come any closer. The two wolves at the edge of the clearing started to back away into the forest but the two that were actually in the clearing stayed where they were. The smaller on seemed to be trying to get the other to leave but it stood its ground.

My brother was getting ready to attack it and it was getting ready to attack back. "Stop!" I yelled before they attacked each other. Jared turned to look at me while the other wolves ran of into the forest. Jared was about to go after them when I said "just let them go, there is no need to get into a fight now." Jared decided that it was better for him to listen to me than to go after those four. He lay down where he was in the clearing, telling me to get onto his back so he could take me home. I hopped on and as soon as I was holding on, he started running.

The forest passed us in a blur of greens and browns. I think back to when I was a child. Jared used to always give me piggyback rides when I was younger. We used to be so close but that all changed when I was seven. A week before my birthday party our house caught on fire in the middle of the night. I didn't wake up until our whole house was on fire. My room was just starting to catch, when I screamed for help. I was sure that I was going to die there in my room all alone. The smoke was so thick that it was suffocating me and it stung my eyes. The last thing I remember was I thought I saw a beige werewolf rush through a hole in a wall and come towards me. The next morning I woke up in the hospital and they told me that the fireplace was left on and it overheated. They told me that a firefighter was the person that brought me out from my room. I think Jared feels guilty for it so now he seems to be very overprotective of me but he also wants nothing to do with me.

I come back to reality when I feel Jared stop abruptly. We are back home already. He lies down so I can get of his back easily. I walk towards the house with Jared right behind me in his human form. I knew that Jared is pissed at me for not letting him go after the other wolves. I would be told that I should have not gotten in his way and that I should have run the other way when I first saw them. I have heard his little lecture many times before; it seems to always be my fault. Instead of waiting in the entrance for him to come and yell at me, I go strait to my room and slam the door shut. I lock the door and push my dresser in front of it. If Jared really wants in, a lock won't stop him. I turn on my music and blare my favorite song, which so happens to be "Sweet Sacrifice" by Evanescence.
