Chapter 2

The wolf watched her behind a bush, looks like i'm lucky today, it seems I have found my next

meal, he thought hungrily. This wolf wasn't really a normal wolf, more like a person with ears, a

tail, and large furry claws. Honestly he was a monster, a beast. Born under a full blood

Moon, his parents terrified of his furry appearance when he was born, he was taken to a forest

and left behind. He doesn't remember much, and over the years he relied more on his wolf like

instincts to hunt down and eat prey. He watched her finally get up off the rock and put her apple

in her bag, brushing off her skirt and standing up. She notices a flower growing out of the

ground and walks over to inspect it. The flower was a pale indigo color and quite lovely, she

bends down and picks it. She lifted the flower to her nose and breathed in its sweet fragrance.

While she is…uh…sniffing the flower, the wolf creeps behind her. She puts the flower

behind her ear, suddenly something grabs her shoulder firmly. She freezes but then turns

around, the hold on her shoulder was no longer present and nobody was standing behind her.

"Huh." Ari says confused. She sees a huge shadow in front of her and realizes that was not her

shadow but something bigger, she turns around slowly and looks up. The huge wolf man stared

down at her in an intimidating way, growling and showing his fangs. She gazed up at him in awe

and pure amazement, in fact she didn't feel frightened at all. Honestly Ari thought he looked

cool. "Hello, tiny…strange looking human. you know, I've never seen a human like you before, I

wonder what you taste like." He said, flicking his tail. He suddenly grabbed her and pinned her

against a tree. "Have any last wishes, before I…y'know…eat you?" She stayed silent and

looked down. "Yes…I have a wish…" She said. He grinned maliciously, "Well let's hear it then,

what do you wish for? You want me to spare you?" He says mockingly, "That's what they all say,

Oh please spare me, don't eat me, please!" He laughed. "It's quite funny to listen to their begs

for mercy, before I tear them to shreds and chew on them."She glared up at him, "Could you

shut up, I'm not finished." He stopped, sort of impressed by her boldness. "You want to know

what I wish for, I wish for a friend." She said while tears welled up in her eyes, "Go ahead, end

me, It's not like anyone would really care anyway." The wolf guy was taken aback. This girl was

different, he could tell, inside and out. He loosened the grip on her shoulder. "A friend?" He said

curiously. She looked at him and nodded, "I traveled all the way from my village to here to find a

friend." He stared at her for a moment, "You…want…a…friend." He took his hand off her

shoulder, letting his ears down in sympathy. "Fine…I'll grant your wish." He said turning away

and looking behind, "I'll be your friend."
