“SNAP!”
Sarah realized that she was so far into her own thoughts that she ignored the distinct feeling she was being followed. That feeling that someone or thing is watching you. She glanced around seeing nothing and laughed it off chiding herself on her imagination. I mean really, its not like this a thriller video..
“POP!”
What the.. Ugh!! if Eric is messing with me after what he did in the car he’s sadly mistaken.
“Eric, If that’s you Im not getting back into that car!!! You’ve pushed too far this time!!” Sarah called out.. The silence that followed was very eerie. She realized she hadn’t even heard the bugs chirping while she’d been walking. It was only dead silence surrounding her. She quickened her step and started down the road a little faster muttering to herself for being an idiot and forgetting to charge her phone last night. She heard a howl in the distance that chilled her to the bone and made her stop cold, mid stride, maybe that wasn’t Eric afterall. She started looking for a house or store or any sign of life to make her feel more connected and maybe be able to phone her parents to let them know what was going on. It seemed odd that Eric hadn’t driven back down from the point. There was no other way down from there. Sarah had walked maybe a half a mile not seeing any driveways or houses. The ranger station is at the top of the point. She knew from coming here as a girl the houses were much farther down the mountain. She decided she would turn back and see if Eric would just take her to the bottom of the point.
Walking up the point seemed to take a lot longer than the walk down. Being a cheerleader she never thought she would be huffing and puffing walking such a short distance. Eric’s car was still idling in the same spot it had been when she had her meltdown. Seeing the comforting tufts of steam from the exhaust pipe had her practically running to the car. Who cares what had happened. She just wanted to get home to the safety of her bed or even the comfort of another person even if it was Eric.
Sarah slung open the door. “OK.. We have got to talk. I’m sorry for over reacting. You just drive me crazy sometimes.” Sarah slid in the car and noticed the seat felt wet. And there was a strong metallic smell in the car. She fumbled for the dome light to see what was going on. The entire interior was covered in blood. The only piece of body she saw was his hand still clutching the steering wheel. The same hand that violated her earlier was on the wheel, taunting her. Sarah started screaming. She couldn’t stop shaking. Just then she heard a howl that felt like it vibrated her soul. She looked outside and saw these eyes staring at her through the windshield. The shine coming off of them was intoxicating. She felt drawn to them even though she was still covered in blood and shaking like a leaf. She wanted to move, to scream, to do something but she was powerless frozen in shock. She had never seen anything so unbelievable in her life. Just then the wolf lunged for the car. She panicked slinging the door shut. Being trapped with this much blood and the metallic stench stinging her senses made her light headed. She took a deep breath to keep from passing out. She jumped from the passenger seat into the driver seat hysterical and not knowing what to do. She had never driven a car. She had no desire to learn. But right then she made the decision to drive or die trying. She gunned the gas. The car lurched and then stalled out. She didn’t realize it was a stick shift. She tried to start it again. She would lunge forward and stall out, lunge forward and stall out. The wolf appeared to be smiling at her novice. She looked down attempting to turn the key again to try again and never saw the wolf lunging for the windshield. He broke thru the windshield and was mere inches from snapping at her face. The tempered glass holding just enough to keep him from ripping out her throat. She reached in her purse desperately for a weapon or anything she could use and came across a metal nail file. With all her strength she plunged the nail file into the werewolf’s eye and felt it pierce past his eye into the mushy softness of the brain. The animal cried out in pain and it sounded almost human. As the animal stopped thrashing around it slowly started to transform into what looked like man. Sarah sat there shaking, bloody, and terrified to move because she had NO CLUE what else could be out there. The high pierced shrill ringing coming from under the seat stopped Sarah’s heart. She thought she couldn’t get any more terrified then that. She realized it was Eric’s phone. She reached blindly and answered it just barely able to get the words out that would send her the help she so desperately needed. As the red and blue flashing lights flooded the point all around her she couldn’t help but think why didn’t she just stay home.

I was just an ordinary teenager living the perfecet life in the small town of Madtown, Indiana. I had everything including my oh so great boyfriend Dason. Today was my birthday and nothing could go wrong, at least that is what I thought. We had plans to go out tonight and I couldn't wait. My dad was the sheriff and my mom was a candle shop owner. I came running down the stairs to eat before I had to take off to school and dad said “Happy Birthday Regina and good morning. What do you got planned for tonight?” “Das and I are going out, not sure what we're doing. But it supposed to be a full moon so I hope we go downtown to the Boardwalk.”
“Now listen, I want you to be careful, there has been a lot of animal attacks lately and I don't want you getting hurt.” I rolled my eyes and laughed, “Um ok dad you worry way to much, I gotta run before I'm late.”
I got to school just in time when Dason snuck up behind me and grabbed me around the waste. “Oh my cheese and rice you scared me half to death!” I shrieked. “Hey gorgeous! Let's get outta here, it's your birthday, we aren't spending it at school come on. I know where we can go.”
So we left school and went back to his house. We watched movies, played video games, then decided to go for some pizza. If he had been acting weird, I was too blinded by love to ever notice.
We ate pizza from Timmys' pizza and then went to the Boardwalk which was a place a lot of lovers went to and walked along the river.
“So my dad says there's been a lot of animal attacks down here at night, so we should be careful, not that I'm scared or anything especially since I have you” I said gingerly. I hadn't noticed when I told him that, he started acting very strange. When your blind with love it seems you only see what you want. We were walking along and I noticed he was sweating profusely and asked him if he was ok and all he said as he starting running away from me is “I gotta go I can't explain, I just gotta go” I starting running after him yelling his name and he yelled to stay away. Well, anyone who knows me knows I do what I want, this is one of those times I wished I hadn't. He was running I was running and I noticed something different as he was running, he was getting bigger his clothes were starting to shred and he wasn't yelling anymore, he was, he was....oh my god! I kept running even though I had tears streaming down my face, “Dason Dason! Please stop tell me what is happening! Please!” He was going so much faster than me and then I tripped. I must have hit my head very hard because when I woke there was this huge dog standing over top of me. I looked up at it and noticed that this was bigger than a dog and it seemed to be looking at me with curious but knowing eyes. I stared back at it and I couldn't help but feel that I knew those eyes.....could it be...no it can't.....but I saw....
As I started to get to up slowly the big animal gave me a low growl as if I should stay where I was so I did. My head hurt too bad and I didn't feel like arguing, especially with an overgrown dog. So I layed there and must have passed out.
I woke up later with the sun shining in my face wondering what the hell was going on. I got up and rubbed the back of my head and man did it hurt. My parental units would be ticked, but what can ya do right? I started walking, my car was parked all the way at the end of the Boardwalk. When I got to my car and unlocked it, I couldn't help but be upset I mean I had no idea where he was or why he left. And as I was unlocking my car I noticed it. I started to freak way out and when I looked closer I saw that it was him....his clothes were shredded and half gone and he was bloody! I didn't get in the car. Instead I called my dad to pick me up. How could I tell him that I think Dason was the animal he had warned me about? How could I tell him that my boyfriend was a werewolf?

Thank you! I have never really written before.. I am bored at work and figured I would give it a try. Thank you!

Great job!! I felt like I was running with her! Very edge of your seat!

This sounds so cool!

I feel pain, every inch of my back aching from the springs almost breaking surface in my thin matress.
"Lacey?" A hand is waving back and forth in my vision, blurry at first but soon i recover and come into focus of my surroundings. I don't reply, only turn my head slightly looking lazily at him.
"Why do you always doze out like that?" He snaps, irratation reflecting from his big brown eyes.
"I didn't dose out." I say, "I could still feel the springs sticking into my back." His expression turns and a small smile plays on his thick, pink lips.
"I think you should change that matress." He tells me, standing from the scratched wooden chair and moving swiftly towards my bed.
"I can't afford it, you know that Jay." I sit up slowly, feeling my back crack. my legs feel stiff, my neck jarred. carefully I stand, hearing the small sqeak of springs as the pressure releases from them.
"We could find the money, somewhere." Jay tells me, a hint of desperation in his usually calm voice.
"Don't worry about it, its still sleepable theres no need to waste our energy or money." I hear his footsteps aproaching behind me, his hand rests on my shoulder, quickly i brush it off and walk to the rusted tap in the corner of the old shed. the tap sqeals as i turn the handle, water rushes out and my lips curl at the edges excited that the water is working. i cup my hands under the familiar coldness and take big gulps, the smoothe liquid flowing swiftly down my sandpapery throat, making it feel smoothe and new again.
"You need to change, wet your hair a little too its very messy." i spin around, water dripping from my reshreshed mouth.
"We are being chased, could die at any moment, and all you care about is my hair!"
"Sorry" He looks down, kicking the dirt floor beneath his bare feet. i lift my hand, wiping away the excess water that lays still aorund my mouth. Slowly jay raises his head and squares his shoulders. i look at him intently, seeing him for the first time; his black hair lay shaggered around his face, making his high cheekbones and chiseled jaw stand out. He wears a white shirt, drenched with sweat, making it cling to his abdomen, showing he has a 8 pack, black jeans rest low on his hips, dust covering his knees.
"What is it?" He asks me, concern in his voice. I take my gaze from his jeans and lock eyes with his. I can hear their footsteps, still feel their touch scorching my face. The walls seem to be closing in around me and my breaths become short and heavy.
"We have to go." I say and start to walk from the rusty shed, dirt crunching under my feet.
"I can smell them now, they are near." Jay tells me. He grabs my hand and starts running, leading me through the thick bush. My face stings, what from all the branches scratching all the skin on my dry bones. We run hand in hand, the only noise is the hard thumps of our feet making contact with the rough ground and our breaths coming in ragged and short.
**
"Do you think we are far enough" I manage to say as i suck in the air greedily.
"I think so" Jay nods, sitting down hard, a branch cracking under his weight.
"We can't let them get us again Jay, i don't think i could survive again."
I run through the forest, my lungs feel shrivelled and i hear a small squeal coming from the back of my throat. I look back, making sure they aren't behind me but the small string of hope, that somehow i lost them dissapears as a black and white wolf runs towards me, his paws moving swiflty and soundlessly on the leaves and branches that lay motionless on the crude ground.I whip my head around, staring straight ahead. Hoping beyond hope that i can survive this.My foot gets caught in a tree root, sending me plummetting into the hard ground beneath me. Warm red liquid trickles down my dirty face and my thoughts are jumbled. I know i have to run, to get up and go, but i can't work out why and my legs don't seem to be responding.
Dirt flicks up, whipping my bare skin, a small groan escapes my lips and i look up to find a furry men staring down at me.
"Thought you could run from me aye" He laughed, but no humor was behind it, a dangerous glint glowed in his bright green eyes.
"I..I" I can't seem to form words and instead lay silent trying to plead with my eyes.
"Why do you run sweetheart." His voice is rough. Usually when i heard 'sweetheart' i would think of my dad, brushing a small curl from my face and telling me i was his beautiful little sweetheart, but this man didnt give that effect. He said it in an almost crazy way."I usually kill the people who run from me before they can take one step, but you are a pretty young thing. thought i would have some fun with you first." He chuckled, kneeling down beside me, his fingers brushed my cheek, too rough to mean any affection was behind it.
Get lost, i form the words in my head but my mouth doesnt seem to be working, instead when i try to form words my jaw becomes floppy and it hurts, it hurts to speak.
"My names luke, what's yours?" He asks, in a teasing voice. I look away, holding the tears that threaten to overflow from my small eyes. I feel a strong hand hold tightly to my jaw and he turns my head sharply to face him. i scream, pain sears through my mouth and escapes to my head.
"Did i hurt ya?" He asks, no sympathy in his deep voice. i stare him in the eyes, making sure that i look strong. My jaw throbs, like somehow a heart has been placed in my gum.
"Hmm, where do i start?" He asks. He traces patterns on my right cheek, his fingers feel rough and thick. I try to pull away but stop as the memory of him grabbing my jaw flashes through my mind. A burning sensation developes on my cheek and I gasp against my will.
"Lucky i brang my lighter today aye, thought it would come in handy for just me and my smokes but looky what i can do now." He moves the flame around and around on my already burning cheek. A tear squeezes from my eye, the salty contents entering my dry mouth.
The wolf-man sighed, a long, deliberate sigh. I swallowed back more tears as i knew what that meant; he was bored with me.
"You know? your bloody boring. I thought that maybe i would get a scream from you, be spat at," he chuckled."But all i got was...nothing." I tried to smile, a smug smile. At least i knew that my killer was bored torturing me before i died.
"Dieing is just like sleeping, except you never wake up." My dad would say as he lay on the hospital bed, his body deterioating day by day. I can still hear my eight year old self weeping as the steady beat of his heart went dead. His strong grip slipt from mine, his body laying lifeless under white sheets.
"Its a shame, i gotta tell ya! Such a pretty girl, ganna be gone outer this world" He said, dragging me back to reality. I opened my eyes slowly, in time to see a large, sharp knife slicing through the air heading straight for my heart..
"Get off her you scum. All werewolves are the same!" A tall boy stands behind the wolfman, a large thick knife occupying his hand.
"Did you call me scum, boy?" The wolf-man says. The knife stops in mid air, the sun shining on it making the bright silver blade reflect brightly in my eyes. He stands, taking long confident strides towards the fragile boy.
"What you ganna do about it?" The boy laughs, he stands tall, his shoulders squared, challenging the wolf for a fight. I stare at the two of them, before my eyes the man turns into a wolf, a loud growl slips from his big mouth.
"Run" The boy yells at me. I try to stand but my legs still won't allow it, instead i lay motionless awaiting the scene that is about to happen before me. the wolf pounsers, taking the boy down.
"Run!" he shouts again, struggling to hold the wolfs head away from his neck. Frustration washes through me, i can't move and can't speak and now some strange boy is yelling at me! A loud yelp interrupts my thoughts and a heavy thud smacks the ground.
"Why didn't you run?" The boy asks me. Blood is smeared on his handsom face and a long diagonal scratch lays dirty and bloody on his left arm.
He looks up and down me, an intense look masking his face. i try to tell him the answer through my eyes but he doesnt seem to be looking there.
Boys!
i think to myself, if you have curves thats all they seem to stare at!
He extended his hand out to me, i tried to move my arm but a sharp pain shot through it, i dropped it quickly, wincing in pain. He finally understood, gracefully he kneeled down, sliding his hands under my back and stood up, cradling my head against his firm chest.
"I'm Jay by the way."
"Lacey!" I open my eyes, and feel myself being shaken over and over again.
"STOP!" I shout, prying his strong hands from my fragile shoulders.
'You did it again Lacey! You dozed out..again!" Worry creased his forehead.
"I just, sorry. I had a flashback."
"Lacey its fine, i know when they are around, we will be fine" Something struck me, so sudden and sharp i was surprised i hadn't thought of it before.
"Jay?"
"Yes?"
"How can you smell them? Know they are near?" I ask curiously.
'I." He started, hesitating, obviously finding it hard to retell the story."I was bitten when i was younger, she didnt bite hard enough, but enough to make me half wolf. i can smell things that humans can't, can see things humans can't, even run quicker." He said, letting out a big breath.
"Okay." I say, not wanting to ask him anymore questions, seeing the expression on his face.
"I'll be right back, i need to pee." He says.
"Too much information" I giggle to myself as i hear his footsteps retreating far enough out so i can't see. My butt feels numb so i stand, stretching my long legs. A low trickle of water sounds behind me, i turn around and with a start i see a small pond, water flowing gently down the rocks that have made a mini waterfall in the shellow water. I walk slowly toward the stream, kneeling down before it. My reflection stares back at me, brown hair curtains my face, hiding one of my Sky-blue eyes. My skin is smooth,except a scar; a ragged circle on my right cheek. I close my eyes tightly willing myself to forget how i got it, to forget the person who did it to me. Reason overtakes my panick and slowly i peel my eyes open. Remembering how i got this scar is apart of me now, i have to move ahead. It made me stronger and indapendant. i turn my head back towards my reflection, knowing that i have to face the reality that i will have this scar forever.
I gasp, a familiar stranger stares back at me. i knew she was me, same colour hair, same eyes, same face but she was something more. She was a woman, she grew up quick from the age of eight and will never again be the inocent girl who laughed over her daddy tripping over, no, that girl drowned in this pond along time ago.
"Lacey, run!" I hear Jay shout interrupting my brave thoughts, heavy footsteps smack hard on the ground. A rock drops into the water, disorienting my face in the small pond. I stand up quickly, running as fast as my stiff legs will allow.
"JAY!" I yell, no reply.
Footsteps speed behind me, i take a deep gulp, put my head down and run. I feel my hair whipping wildly around me but all i can think about is Jay. What happened to him?
where is he?
where am i going?
what will i do without him?
Theres only one thing i know for sure, one thing i am certain about.
I will find Jay, and i will make the werewolf pack extinct...
