Well here is a story that comes from my real parents linage really, it's the story of my ancestor Isaac Sanderson from about two hundred years before I was even born, wow that's long time, it's a heart warming story that's true and it has been passed down to each member of the Sanderson lineage, that includes my children and me.

I had to do a lot of research and I mean a lot of research into my family's background and boy it took me forever to find anything on Isaac Sanderson. After what seemed like thousands of years, I finally had everything that I needed for this part of my autobiography.

This story started with a man called Isaac who came from a family of farmers, yes farmers, you would of never of guessed that the Sanderson line, third to the Winner family were farmers in the past but they were.

Isaac was twenty five when this story firsts takes place, he had two older brothers and sisters their names were: Finnegan who preferred to be called Finny he was thirty seven and was built like a house from a young very age, Miranda or Milly as she was called was thirty four also built like a house but at the same time very slender and a set of twins called Wesley and Rosamund or Rosa were thirty years old. Wesley was skinny and quiet shy Rosa was the complete opposite in personality.

His parents were called Julius Sanderson or Jules and Annabelle Richardson later to be known as Sanderson; both of their families were farmers also so they stuck with what they knew.

They knew each other from a young age and because of that it was easy enough for their parents to decide that they would be wed in the future.

Isaac was the apple of his mother's eye, he was her baby and nothing her older children or husband would say would change her mind. She wouldn't let him do anything that was too hard as she didn't want to let her baby get hurt. Boy was Isaac a mama's boy *laugh*

Everyone had to pulled all their weight on the farm because if they didn't they would be left outside in all and any weather as everyone else ate, this was hush but the only time they were allowed off with their work was when they were at school and if they were ill (only if the doctor said they were ill that is).

Living on the farm Isaac grew to love all sorts of animals, from the tiny mouse he had called Henry to the cows, his favourites were Betsy and Boo and horses, one was called Izzy after him really it was his mother's horse, that he had to take care of with his older brother Finnegan.

You could never ever cross either Julius or Finnegan or you would get a paddling for sure, they were the bosses and everyone knew it.

Finnegan had his dad's personality which with his size scared his younger siblings, Julius was just mean when something didn't go right, so everyone had to know their place right from the start.

Isaac grew in to a fine young man and helped out his family where he could between his job at the market, selling food from the farm that was grown and made.

His parents and siblings were so proud of him, that out of all the years he was only punished at least five times as he was a very quick learner, much quicker than his brother Finnegan.

When Isaac became of the right age to marry he did to a beautiful girl called Katherine Elms, she had had her eye on him since day one really and everyone knew it. She spent most of her time looking at him and he never knew that she loved him until she got lost in the forest behind his farm.

Straight away everyone went looking for Katherine but Isaac stayed home as he was late in doing his chores for the day, so not to get into trouble with his father and brother he stayed looking after the animals that he knew far too well.

Betsy and Boo disappeared while everyone was looking for Katherine but Isaac knew where they had gone because Betsy was pregnant and was about to give birth anytime and for some reason she always gave birth in the forest.

Isaac chased after the cows who were now in the forest, as he headed into the forest to find the cows he heard a crying voice that he knew very well, at first he wanted to make sure the cows where safe and sound before going to look to see who was crying but in the end he chose the crying voice over the cows.

He found Katherine sitting in an opening crying her eyes out because she was lost and no one could find her but she stopped when she heard someone coming closer to her.

'Who's there' she screamed making Isaac jump, 'it's me Isaac Sanderson I heard someone crying in here after I came chasing my families cows in here, are you ok?' he asked as he came closer to her, but before he could even sit down next to her Katherine was in his arms crying so much that she looked horrible.

Isaac brought her back to the farm and cleaned her face and told her to rest while he got his father and brother from town where they were looking for her.

It was night by the time everyone had came back to the farm, Katherine's father Brett came as well and once he saw his daughter safe and sound asleep, he had decided there and then that Katherine would marry Isaac and they could do nothing about it.

Everyone consented with it Katherine loved Isaac very much and so did Isaac who loved Katherine just the same and in no time they were married but sadly it didn't last long because Katherine died not long after they got married and had given birth to their child, you see she died of small pox.

Katherine left their house to Isaac and he never moved out of his home that he lived with his wife and young child Beatrice who was a spitting image of her mother in every way.

One night after Beatrice had left to go on a long trip with her friends to find love in far away countries, a young wolf came into his garden to gave birth, but she shortly after giving birth to her only surviving cub, sadly the rest were still born died, she died.

So tragic that he lost his wife, his only daughter was off exploring the world and then a wolf lost all of her pups besides one and then she sadly dies.

((Why does my family history have so much tragedy in, I was kind of hoping that there was some kind of good history there but nope, nothing of the sort until it changed when I was a lot older *smiles*))

Isaac heard cries coming from his garden late into the night he went to see what it was and found a wolf cub only hours old trying to feed from its dead mother.

Isaac looked around to see if there was anything he could do but after a while of searching, he felt sorry for it and brought it inside to raise it like he had done so long ago on his family's farm.

It could also keep him company now that his daughter was long gone and it had been many years since his beloved Katherine died.

He raised the cub to protect his land and him from any types of dangers that would come from anyone or anything outside of his land that also included his own family members as well.

His family weren't happy about the cub but when they saw how it protected their son/ brother/ uncle they had no problems, it even protected them from the dangers.

For many years he raised it from cub to adulthood, sadly I don't know the gender of the cub all I found out was that it's name was Gabriel so I think it was a male but I'm not too sure about the whole thing, he found out that each year he grew the cub would grow also.

Isaac saw how close the cub was to him, he did nothing that would upset Isaac and he would never leave his side. Suddenly out of nowhere the young wolf died, this upset Isaac very much that he too died a year after the cub died with regret.

Soon after his daughter Beatrice had twin sons Ian and Isaiah and each of them had a wolf but no one could see them and from then onwards every male in the family ended up having a wolf partner, over the many years all the members of the Sanderson family even if they had changed their names all of them, whether they were male or female all of them had wolf partners.

I don't know when it was said that these wolves got called Spirit Wolves or when the different animals that would come later began to be called Spirit Animals came about but to this day if someone would trace back their family trees and found out that their ancestor was called Isaac Sanderson they too might have a Spirit Animal they might not, it all depends on how much of Isaac's blood is still pure enough in the family it is to produce them.

Out of my eight birth children with Quatre Raberba Winner only my three oldest have a Spirit Animal all of them being a tiger, while my three adopted children all have a Spirit Animal which are two birds, and little Ayame has got Isaac's eyes which in his birth family got called the 'Cursed Eyes' but it turned out he was part of Isaac's bloodline and he too has a Spirit Animal which is also a wolf cub called Shiki.

Only two of my grandchildren have a Spirit Animal or should I say Spirit Animals in one case. I do find lone Spirit Animals sometimes and it takes a very long time to try and find its owner as it only knows the pull of it and it can take you years to find the right person.

With Chibi-Shi it was easy enough because he kept going towards Brother and in due time, a couple of days really, Chibi-Shi and Brother were together but because Chibi-Shi wasn't born at the same time as Brother he grew quite quickly to reach his rightful age which happened to be Brothers age.

Hikaru was another surprise really, I found her hiding in a park, pretty hard to miss a baby ice blue coloured bear right, she felt the pull towards Quatre of all people.
