I want you all to know I had to rewrite this chapter four times because it kept getting deleted.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Everything was happening just how I wanted it to. The man who captured me, Mark is his name I believe, is hung from a tree by a rope around his neck. Which is loose enough that he can still breathe, for now. Its late, the only light in this forest is from the moon and stars, enough for me but unlikely my parents would be able to see very well.

Soon I heard the loud sound of two pairs of clumsy feet attempting to make their way towards where Mark and I are standing.

"Mark, so nice to see you." my mother says in an all too sweet tone. "Where's the little creature and we can get on with this exchange."

Mark of course said nothing as he's still unconscious.

"Mark are you alright?" my fathers voice asks as the two of them walk forward. I can hear them gasp as they notice the rope around his neck. Perfect. I quickly pull on the rope which tightens and lifts Mark into the air, tying my end of the rope to a different tree as poor Mark slowly suffocates and cant do anything about it.

"Hello Mother, Father," I growl at my so called parents.

"Amanda baby I was so worried about you, you just ran away a-"

"cut the crap ma." I cut her off with a roll of my eyes. "You put up posters claiming me to be a wanted criminal! Do you know what its like to be hunted?" I let out a dark chuckle and grin at her. "You will."

My parents of course start backing up in fear but I continued to advance on them.

"See living in the forest is hard but having people after your head is worse. Ill show you what that's like... Run." I say in a deadly calm voice and my parents do just that.

The two idiots immediately separated in hopes that I'd go after the other one. I started after my mom, she didn't know what she was doing. It was easy to find her, not one hundred yards from where I had been standing, doubled over and panting for breath. I grab her hair ad force her to look up at me.

"Amanda please, I'm your mother! You cant do this to me." she begs for her life like the pathetic creature she is.

"I'm afraid I don't have a mother, not since I became her guinea pig." I snarl in anger and sink my teeth into the soft skin of her neck. fueled by the anger and the bitter tang of her blood I use my sharp, animal-like teeth to tear apart the skin on her neck. I only stop when my moms eyes had become dull and lifeless, laying in a pool of her own blood and flesh.

Without bothering to clean myself off I start after my father. Shifting into a wolf, I follow his scent until it came to a stream. smart man, loosing his scent in the water. I quickly shift into a owl and fly high, swiveling my head around to look for the man I once called my father. it didn't take long for me to find him. I  change from an owl to the biggest bird ever, the Teratorn which is a type of condor. 

Swooping down into the trees I sink my sharp talons into my fathers side and lift him high into the air.

"Amanda put me down this instant!" he demands but I can see the pain and fear in his eyes. okay, I think to myself as I drop him, my talons raking along his sides as he falls making long gashes up both sides of his body. I hear his screams before the sound of the cracking tree.

I fly down and see my father deeply impaled on a branch, his dark blood seeping out from the wounds yet he was somehow still alive.

"I'm," he pauses to cough up blood. "I'm so sorry Amanda..." his voice went quiet as the life left his eyes. With a bit of struggle I pulled his body off the tree and left him on the ground for scavengers to eat.

I'm glad this is over, at least for now.
