"Ember get your but down here or your going to be late for school" my mom said from downstairs 

"Okay mom" I said then asked "why'd you have to put me into an all girls school anyways, I know I'm smart but I'm not a celebrity" 

"Stop overreacting it's just girls there, so how hard could it be" she said and I started to get ready for the day "and before we leave I want you to take the trash out" 

"Okay mom" I said then I heard the front door shut and her car getting started. Then I went over to my little window on the top of my room above where the head of my bed was and I watched her leave in the unusually dark summer morning. 

She's probably going to get some donuts for us both I said to my self because she does that on every special occasion that she likes. So I went down stairs, ate just in case, and then went outside to get the dumpsters and put them on the curb. Our placement for our dumpsters was a weird place because my  mom insisted that we cleared out a spot in the garage so that we could get them from the back of the house surrounded in chain link fencing to the front of the house every Sunday. 

"Always has to be me doing this" I muttered to myself when honestly I didn't care because I was an only child. I opened up the front garage then I heard something jump over the back of the fence making the chain jingle for a second. So I went inside and grabbed the BB gun, so that i could finally get rid of this Raccoon problem that we kept on having. Then I went back outside and started to open up the backyard garage, and then I took aim at where our dumpsters were. The garage finally opened fully after about three minutes, and I looked at were the dumpsters should be open, but they were closed. Then I looked at the floor still aiming through the three little stubs that a-line with the one at the end of the barrel lining up with the two at the top of the gun closer to my face. There was a large splatter of blood and a leg was left without a body to be attached to it. I lowered to gun horrified, and I got my phone out turning it on, but when noting happened and I saw that stupid charge your phone symbol on the front of the screen telling me to charge it. I swore under my breath and slowly crept forward with the BB gun aimed and loaded with the safety off. Then I looked around my large backyard, it looked smaller than I remembered even though it was about an acre full of square area. When I saw nothing I went over to the blood and noticed that it was going somewhere like the raccoon was dragged away after it had been killed. I didn't follow it because of two reasons, one, the person to follow the blood trail usually ends up dead and two, there were these over-sized wolf tracks right next to it. 

"I'm going to need a better gun" I said to myself

Yes, you are something said to me, but I didn't know where it came from so I looked around frantically for the source of the sound. Then I saw these bright yellow eyes on the right side of the house. 

"What do you want" I asked slowly moving to the mouth of the garage, but for some reason I knew that even if I made it to the garage door I couldn't close the garage, and much less get into the safety of the house. 

I want you it said and then I started to run the other way not caring that I had left the garage door open, but I was running for my life. Then I hopped the fence and did the mistake of looking back, and I just saw it jump over the fence with no problem at all and not making a sound unlike the raccoon that climbed the fence to get to the trash and meeting it's demise. I looked back and when I saw that I looked back in-front of me and looked for a way into another building or tight area that it couldn't get to me. I spotted a car and opened the backseat, climbed to the other side jumped out of it and started to run again. Then I heard a large crash from behind me and looked back for a second time to see the truck in shreds and a large hole going from the middle of the back and the front all the way across like the wolf just crashed into one side and came out the other. 

So I stopped and looked at it for a moment, and then I looked across the little alleyway that lead to the road and saw my moms car going to our house, but she didn't see me and I wouldn't be able to get to her on time. Now I wished that I hadn't dropped the gun on my running spree. Then I turned around and screamed as the wolf jumped at my throat but I lifted up my arm to block it and it bit that instead. Then I started to run again knowing that I would never see my home, friend, or my mom again. It caught up to me and bit my right leg making me scream out from pain. Then let go letting me run again, and I did of coarse even though I knew that it was just toying with me before it make it's final kill. 

I wasn't really running anymore, but I was limping as I tried to go on. Then I felt it bite my left side, and I screamed a shrill cry so loud that it would've woken up the dead, and I finally gave up after having four bites on my body and fell to the ground starting to go numb waiting for death to come. Instead another bite was given to my other side making me roll over in pain unable to scream anymore from my voice giving up after the last scream. It circled me slowly, and I looked at it with pain and fear filled eyes.

"Please just kill me, I am in too much pain to go on any longer" I said with a hoarse voice, but it started to shake it's head from side to side in pity. 

I knew that you'd be a strong one, so I won't give you death just yet it said to me I want to play with you for a little while before you die. Just. For. Fun. and it moved to my right side and darted in delivering another bite. 

What's your name little one it asked, and when I didn't answer it bit my right arm. 

"Ember...my name is Ember" I said shaking on the ground, I just wanted this to end

Now that's better it said let's play a little game, and if you pass you'll wake up thinking that this was just a dream, and if you lose then you'll wake up in a-lot of pain.

"What do you want" I asked not liking the way this sounded

If you can guess three out of four things correctly then I'll end you quickly and you'll wake up thinking that this was just a dream, but if you get just one wrong then you'll wake up with all of the pain that you feel right now, but you won't know why it said first did you know your father? 

"No" 

Okay then, second how did he die 

"He died from a plane crash" I said 

No, honey...I killed him it said and I looked at it horrified I didn't give him the same thing that I am giving you though, so he died a rather pain full death. This one you'll remember and question your mom about, and third has your mom ever kept any big secrets from you, answer carefully because this one you'll also remember. 

I though for a second not moving to cause less pain than I was already in "no" I said after a little bit "why are you doing this to me though and not my mom?" my vision was starting to get fuzzy.

I am doing this to you, so that when you wake up after I am dead from killing you with my last ounce of strength and you ask your mother about what we discussed tonight. It will scare her to death knowing that you were killed and she couldn't do anything about it other than try to keep you safe from yourself. 

"What do you mean by that and why would I have to be alive for her to know that" I asked

Because as I speak she is searching for you knowing that if she calls the police and tells them that you were attacked by a large wild animal that was killed by one of your neighborhood neighbors they wouldn't believe her and she would be sent to an asylum he said pointing to the now light house. Then I looked back at it and it was slobbering all over me waiting to take it's kill and then be killed, and some of it's saliva got into my wounds making me whimper in pain a little. 

"Why do you wait to kill me, and be killed instead of killing me and running away" I asked

Because if I killed you right now and lived on I would be weak and unable to regenerate, and eventually I will be killed by either hunger, blade, or gun it said, and then the screen door opened and the man stepped out carrying a large rifle, and then he turned around and saw the wolf first, and then looked down and saw me bleeding and helpless. Then I felt a large gap open in my neck and all of the air that I breathed left my lungs, and my vision started to darken as I  looked at the man. The last thing that ever got to my senses was the large crack of the rifle and the wolf going limp on top of me before nothing, nothing at all. 

Okay so this is my first actual werewolf book so I hope that I wrote it well enough to satisfy you guys, but the next chapter is going to be available soon. So stay 'tuned' or reading, and by the way the cover will be mentioned in some chapter, but I don't know when just yet so otherwise thanks for reading and watch for more.
