• She Wolf

    I remember wakeing up to the smell of blood. i remember looking around and finding myself in a damp forrest. I dont remember anything else...

    "Nicky! Get up!" I hear mothers voice, it sounds very far away. I open my eyes. Bright sunlight blinds me. I gron and sit up. "Nicky! NOW!" I sigh. "Ok." i can barly hear my own voice. My head hurts. Suddenly I remember. I was laying in a woods with no clothes on...cold...and...hungry.

    That was 10 years ago. I didnt know it then, but i had become a werewolf. Not the kind you hear about in storybooks, or horrror movies. The real kind. We dont eat people. We eat wild animals. And we can cahnge when ever we want to. Though the full moon just gives us more power, and makes us more hungry. My name is Nicky Kamble...And i am a werewolf.

    It happened when i was 7. I was playing out in the pool in my backyrad. Mom and dad where sliming at each other on the porch. They were so happy then. I was looking for my favoret toy. I couldnt find it. I look over he edge and there it was. But i didnt reach down to get it. Something else had my eye. It was a moving shadow at the edge of the woods. Mama told me never to go there. But just once couldnt hurt. I look around for mom and dad. They had gone into the house. I get of the pool and walk over to the shadow. I was 10 feet away when i saw what it was. A large black wolf. It looked at me. Its amber eyes stairing hard into mine. "Hi wolfy." i reach my hand out to pet him. And he lets me. "Good dog...er...wolf." i stroke his soft fur. Then he moved so fast that i wouldnt have noticed if i hadnt felt the sharp pain in my for-arm. "Owwww." i whinned. I looked down to see a set of two bite marks, with blood already coming the the bite. "Why did yo-" i looked around...the wolf was gone.

    I am 17 now. A smart girl. Well loved by friends. God knows i have enough of them. They know nothing about the wolf in me. Only my pack does. Mark is the leader, the black wolf i had met so long ago. Scarlett is his wife. And my pack sister. Jack is a tan wolf, our gratest tracker. And we have many more. And then...there is Conner. He is our most gratest hunter. And my pack-mate. I had met him when i was 7, like me, he was new to the pack. He was 8. The first night was the night i was to howl with my pack. Hearing all the howl's is magic. The pitchs dropping then rising again. I will never forget it...

    I sit in bed and wait. Mother will go to bed soon. And then i will sneek out into the night, as i have done for the past 10 years. I hear mothers door close. I wait. Then i quitetly make my way down the stairs. I open the backdoor, and slip out into the night. I take off my clothes, and give in to my wolf side. Suddenly i can smell for miles, hear the faintest whisper, and see everything in bright color. A wolfs eyesight is unquine...the shapes are blurry, but the color is amazing. The wind whips around me. I fell my cainnise begin to grow, i run my toung over the tips. They are sharp. The fur starts at my feet. When it reachs my stomach i get down on all fours. I close my eyes, and when i open them again, i am not looking through humen eyes anymore...i am the wolf.

    I run through the trees. The wind is all around me. I fell as if i can fly. I reach the lake, and see my pack. Suddenly i stop. Something is very wrong. I look around and see Conner. I walk to him. He looks at me. I push my face into his fur. "Whats wrong?" I say to him. We wolf cannot speak like humens. We speak with our minds. "Isable is dead." I hear him say in my mide. Isable was one of our pack. I fell the pain of the others. "How?" "Another pack." I growl. Conner looks at me. I see tears in his eyes. I lick his face. "I love you." He speaks. "I love you to Conner." He pushes his body up agenst me. I lean into him. "Nicky." I look over to see Mark walking torwed us. "Leader. Who has done this?" I cannot keep the growl from my voice. "I do not know young one." His speak in my head sounded tired. I bowed my head. "Come." i do as i am told, and folow my leader. We go to the waters edge. And that is when i see the body. There she lay. Bloody, and torn up. Who ever did this, was meaning to kill. I take in a deep breath. I turn and see Vince, Isable's pack-mate. I take a step to him. He growls. And stop. "Im sorry." I speak. "Leave me alone." i hear the saddness in his speak. Mark turns to the others. "Let us holw in the honner of our fallen friend, sister, and pack-mate." The holwls begin. It is Vince how howls the loudest. We do not hunt that night. All we do is howl.

    I walk up the steps to my school. I push open the doors. My friends come up to me. They start to talk about boys, music, and MTV. I am not lisenting. I am looking. I can feel when another wolf is near me in my humen forme. "Hey, Nicky? Wake up girl!" I fell a poke in my side. I look to my left and see my best friend Jackie. I force a smile. "Sorry. I didn't get much sleep last night." "Making-out with that hottie boyfriend of yours?" She pokes me again and laughs. I smile. Suddenly i stop. "Whos that?" I ask, pointing to boy about 15 feet away. "Oh, thats the new kid. His name is Rick. Hes hot right?" No. But he smells like..wolf. "I dont like him." I say. Jenny, my other friend sighs. "Just because hes not Conner, dont be mean." I glare at her. "Im not Jenny." She holds up her hands. "Fine," she says, "be a b***h." And then she walks off. "God." Jackie hooks her arm in mine. "Come on lets go." And we walk off to class.

    When the last bell rings, im out of there in a heartbeat. Conner is waiting for me his car. "Hey beautiful." He smiles and leans in for a kiss. "I found the new wolf." I say. I dont even kiss him. "You what?" "His name is Rick. I have no last name. I saw him at school today. And he kept watching me." Conner flushes like he always does when hes mad. "If he touchs you, im gonna kill him." I look at him. His blond hair is in his blue eyes again. And his soft pink lips are in a frown. "Your so hot when yor mad." I sit up and kiss him. "Your just hot no matter what." He mumbles. I laugh. If people didnt know we where going out, we would look like twins. We both have bolnde hair, and blue eyes. "Its sucks about Isable." I say not really thinking. Conner nods, "Mmmhm. Tonight, we'll tell Mark about the new wolf." "Ok." Then I am quite for the rest of the ride.
