walked into the kitchen all groggy from just waking up. My dad was on the table doing something for work. “Good morning sleeping beauty,” I looked at him and smiled at him in my pink fluffy slippers and grabbed a cup of coffee that was just brewed my dad I can drink this all day; I inhaled the sweet smell, took a sip and sighed. Then I heard a knock my dad got up and went to go answer the door I went up to my room and got changed into a cute blue button up blouse with some miss-me-jeans and my favorite light blue pumps. Then I heard my dad call my name, I went down and saw Luke at the front door. “Luke go away I don’t want to see you,” I said while still on the steps my dad looked at me surprised at what I said to Luke he liked him, he thought he was a good boyfriend for me to have. I snorted and walked back up to my room I was lucky my dad didn’t come up to check on me while I bawled my eyes out. After I was about done crying my dad came up and saw my red face I hated that about myself, my cheeks turn red when I cry.       

“Sweetie what is the matter,” He said with a look of concern. “I’m sorry dad I meant to tell you yesterday but I forgot, but yesterday when you left I took off in the car and saw Luke he looked depressed so I stopped and I could see the tears in his eyes I got out of the car and he told me what happened so I broke up with him when he told me,” I explained. “But why did you break up with him he was such a great gentleman…” “He slept with another girl dad!” I basically screamed at him, he seemed taken aback. “That son of a bitch, how could he do that to my little girl,” He said grabbing me and hugging me finally letting it out I sobbed into his chest, when I was done crying he grabbed me by my shoulders and made me face him. “If anybody ever does that to you again you tell me right away and I will deal with it, okay?” I nodded and smiled at him. He hugged me again and went to his room he came back with some cash he handed it to me and I looked at him with a puzzled look in my eyes. “Here you take this and take Layla with you and you go buy yourself something to get your mind off of things ok” I nodded took the money called Layla hugged my dad good-bye and drove to the mall.

I bought myself a whole new outfit and then took Layla to go get a smoothie at Barneys our favorite place to get a smoothie and anything we want. Once we were done we went to the house and dropped off our bags in my room and just sat down. “So what was with your dad giving you money to go shopping,” I looked down at my hands and explained to her what happened to me and Luke.

When I was done explaining to her and the shock on her face turned to understanding she grabbed me and hugged me. “Do you want to go running,” I nodded Layla was one of the few people that understood what I have been going through and knows my secret after all she is one just like me. So we took off in my car and I told her about how I met Adam but I did not tell her about what he said. “Oooh mystery man don’t you see its fate that you two met first you brake-up with Luke then you meet Adam. I think you and Adam where meant to be,” She said all I could do was smile and shake my head. We arrived at the forest right when the sun went down I had left a note on my dad’s laptop back at home telling him where we were. “You ready,” I asked Layla nodded. We got out of the car got undressed and shifted we looked at each other. Layla was grayish with white splotches all over her pelt and a black muzzle. I was the first one to start running with Layla right behind me. I led her to the den and we took a break panting. I walked over to the little creek behind the den and took a long drink.

When I looked up Adam was right there looking at me. I growled a low growl deep in my throat then died it off when I notice that it was Adam. “Oh, Hey Adam where did you come from? I didn’t see you when I got to the creek.” “From over there,” He pointed with his snout at a bush. “What are you doing here?” “I was just in the neighborhood and heard running feet from here,” “Yeah me and my friend Layla were running today so I thought we would stop here to take a break and cool down,” He looked at me with a curiosity that I haven’t seen in any bodies eyes ever since, I was a cute little girl trying to sneak cookies from the cookie jar on the top of the fridge and got caught. “What,” I said. He looked at me again after taking a sip from the creek. “What, Oh nothing I was wondering about some things.” He said. “Oh, hey would you like to meet Layla she’s just around the den. She’s nice and I promise she won’t bite.” I said with a smile. He smiled back and said “No I must go I have a few errands to do before I can meet anybody or do anything.” I nodded at him and told him good bye while I headed back to the den. I couldn’t help but smile back at him.

When I walked into the den Layla wasn’t there she was gone. I looked everywhere around the den and couldn’t find her my heart was picking up beat as I got worried. I howled for her but I didn’t get a response and that worried me even more. I heard a howl and I was so worried for Layla that I ran straight from where I heard it. I didn’t even bother to hear if it was her or if it was another wolf or somebody else.

I arrived at the spot where I knew I heard it but there was no one to be seen anywhere. I put my nose to the ground and got a good sniff everybody told me that I was the best tracker in the pack so I wasn’t surprised that I found a scent. But the scent wasn’t Layla’s but it did smell familiar. I heard a snap and gave a growl then I noticed something silver on the ground. I went towards it and smelled it, it smelled of pine and soup. Then I remember what my dad told me that hunters can make themselves sound like us and can mimic us. I heard another snap and picked my head up from the ground. I saw something that I haven’t seen since I had just barely arrived at the den. I gave a growl and lowered my head and barred my teeth. Then it disappeared and came up somewhere else. It got closer and closer and as it got closer I went rigid with tension. I heard a click to my other side and knew that there was more than one. BAM, I felt something scrap by my side and across my cheek. Then I felt a hot stinging pain in my back and let out a yelp. I crouched and pounced on the first one. BAM he sent another one flying but this one hit his companion in the leg. And I bit his shoulder he gave a cry as my teeth sank in and I gave a pull blood started to splatter across my paws. I turned around to the other one growled and crouched I heard a click and pounced BAM I felt a pain in my hind leg. I grabbed the gun and yanked it free from his hand. The last thing he did before I killed him was gasp as I ripped his throat out. I looked around and I saw dots my vision was blacking out and then I saw Layla and Adam running together toward me yelling my name. The weird thing was that I think Adam reminded me of Jonah. My vision went blurry and then completely black as the ground got closer to me, then all a flash of red as my head hit the ground.

  “How do you know Luna?” She asked as she and the teenage boy watched over Luna while her dad was getting some sleep. “Let’s just say that I have known her since she was little but she never knew of me,” He said. She gave him a weird look “Well that doesn’t sound creepy or stalker like at all.” He looked at her smiled then winked. She backed up a couple steps he laughed then she looked down with embarrassment at not noticing that it was a joke. She started to laugh then stopped Luna had said a name but she didn’t catch it. She said it again but it was lost to the air the boy and I had to lean closer to her to see what she said. As we leaned in closer she gasped and convulsed once again while a look of pure agony came across her face, and her back leaving the bed as she came up and went back down. I looked at her with regret while if I hadn’t left to see what that new scent was maybe she wouldn’t be in this situation. “Hey It wasn’t your fault, so don’t think it,” Adam said. I looked at him with shock and he just looked at me passively and shrugged his shoulders.

    I wonder how he knew what I was thinking, but I would have to leave that and think about it later. I do not have time to worry about this now she needs me more than ever. “By the way my name is Layla” I said while holding my hand out. He smiled took it and said “Adam” I gasped feigning shock “So you are the mysterious Adam, that Luna told me about meeting.” He laughed with a look of curiosity in his eyes “The very one,” I started to laugh but I noticed the bowl needed more water. I grabbed the bowl, and went to go get some more.

 

 

Luna’s POV

***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** *****

I don’t remember much of what happened all I remember is a flash of silver then it going black. I kept going in and out of sleep not sure of my surroundings and who was in it and or what was in it. I didn’t really care actually all that I registered in my head was the dreams and the beauty of it. I was running just plain running not running for stress or because I was running away from what I don’t like or danger either way I was running and it felt really good the wind in my hair the smells of the forest as I zoomed through it, the feel of the earth under my feet as I kicked up dirt and dug my claws in. It was the best feeling of my life I didn’t know where I was going I just knew I had to get there fast before I lost it, not knowing what it was. Following my instincts I ran until my feet
