Chapter One- Lucy
"Sarah, I told you that it was going to rain- we should have brought an umbrella," I said. "Well, I don't care about a little rain. Only you do, Lucy," Sarah, my best friend smirked, splashing me with her foot; "Hey," she exclaimed, "let's take a shortcut that I found yesterday."
"Alright, as long as we get there soon."
"Ok, don't be a baby, though."
"Oh gosh, not the woods. Please not the woods. You of all people should know why I hate that place."
"It'll only be for a few minutes."
"Fine…"
*Ten minutes later*
"I knew it. We're lost. I knew that something like this would happen," I panicked. "Relax," Sarah said, "NO, we're not. I know exactly where we are…" She was cut off by a loud growling noise that was getting louder. About three seconds later, I saw an enormous wolf leap into the air, followed by three figures, with long black cloaks. Two had swords, one a futuristic-looking thingy.
"Run," said one first with a sword, "While you still can!" I was going to, but Sarah couldn't move- she was paralyzed with terror. The wolf was coal black, almost like a shadow, with red glowing eyes. It suddenly locked eyes with me, and bounded towards Sarah and I. I stood my ground, hoping to protect her, and suddenly, I was overcome by this feeling of rage and protection. I saw this golden glow forming around me, merging at my hands. As soon as this happened, the wolf bounded above me, ready to strike, when I thrust my hands out to protect myself, the light rushed out of my hands and onto the beast. It stopped it in midair, engulfed it, and blew away with the wind. "Ma'm," said one of the cloaked people, "What that something that Miss Song should have found by now?" "May I engage the target?" "No Strax," said the one in the middle, who seemed to be the leader, "This one is special." As soon as the words 'What was that?' left my mouth, I felt woozy and everything went black.
