-Levy-

"What?! What do you mean I can't go outside?!" I yelled out at my mother, who was currently glaring at me.

"Levy, there have been an incredibly high number of wolf sightings in our area. It's dangerous to go into the forest right now!" my mother scolded me, her finger pointing towards the back door.

I rolled my eyes at the overprotective woman. Ever since my Father passed away due to a rare illness, my mother had become insanely overprotective of me. She's at a constant fear at which anything could happen to me. I loved my mother dearly, seeing as how I was her number one priority. I wouldn't lie and say that she never spoiled me, for that would be a massive lie.

Whatever I wanted, my mother would purchase for me in a heartbeat. But, the only thing that I ever wanted were books, books, and even more books. Due to her nature, my room was incredibly messy, but not with clothes or trash. Oh no, it was messy by the countless number of books that littered the floor.

I had ran out of room on my bookshelves long ago, and with no more room to place another, I really had no choice but to store my books underneath my bed and onto the floor. Luckily for me, my mother didn't mind all that much.

"Mom, don't worry about me. I'll be fine. I'm taking the shortest path, and you know that one pretty much circles our house. There's no way that I could get lost," I eventually told her.

Sighing, Mom pinched the bridge of her nose. "Oh, alright. But you better be home in time for supper."

Nodding towards her, I made a quick dash towards my room. I needed my gloves and heavy coat, for it was snowing heavily outside. But it was this snowy weather that I loved the most. Winter was my absolute favorite season after all.

Quickly slipping on my deep orange gloves and bright orange coat, I quickly rushed out of my room, making sure that I didn't trip over any of my books.

I pecked my mother on the cheek before grabbing my orange and white scarf from the mantle by the back door. Opening the door, I waved goodbye to my mother before quickly leaving.

Once I was outside, snowflakes began to fall in my hair and onto my nose. I giggled at the beauty that the outdoors possessed at the moment, tilting my head back and catching snowflakes on my tongue.

My house was located far from the nearest town, my property surrounded by a large forest. I loved the fact that I could wake up to the sound of forest animals and fall asleep to the crickets and frogs. It made my time for reading much more peaceful, and I would never want to stop being this close to nature, no matter what.

Walking along a small path, I made my way towards the forest, which contained barren trees who's only covering was the snow itself. The lack of pine needles and leaves did make the forest seem...mysterious, but it would never scare me. It made me feel brave that I could tread along the paths to a forest that closely resembled a horror story.

Though I knew, unlike the countless number of horror stories that I had read , nothing terrible would ever happen to me in these forests.

Sure, an unusually high number of wolves had been spotted in our area, but I highly doubted that they would be this close to my house. They lived in packs, chasing deer and other large prey such as that, and the deer around here remained deep in the forest, areas I've never visited.

"Sure is quiet out here," I mumbled to myself, noticing how unusually quite it had become.

I was walking along the path in the forest, the one closest to the edge. I had full confidence that nothing was too terribly wrong, but at the same time, I've never had this situation occur. The forest, no matter what time of day it was, never fell silent. There were always frogs, squirrels, crickets, birds, and other animals to keep it quite noisy. So why had all of them cease to create any sounds?

And then, there was a howl.

I froze in my steps, my stomach dropping instantly. I prayed that the howl was off, miles away from here. And yet I still had that sinking feeling.

Another howl sounded out, and another, and another! Soon, multiple howls rang out through the forest. Frightened, I began to run down the path, hoping to make it back home before anything bad happened to me.

But it seemed that luck really wasn't on my side, as two large wolves leaped out from the denser part of the forest. They tackled me, ripping my clothes and leaving scratch marks all over me.

"AHH! Help! Someone help me, please!" I screamed out, covering my face from the scary looking wolves.

The large, silver colored wolves continued to claw and bite at me, causing myself to be in excruciating pain. I curled up into a ball, simply waiting for them to deliver the final blow and devour me.

But then, another howl sounded throughout the forest, causing the two wolves above me to glance up. A growl, such a deep, menacing sound, was heard to my right.

Very weakly, I brought my head up a tad, glancing with fear at the sight before me.

It was another wolf, a much larger wolf, but this wolf looked much different. He was easily twice the size of the duo of wolves that attacked me, his fur as black as a raven's feather. His eyes glowed red, the tone of the color much like that of a ruby.

What shocked me was the fact that the wolf's attention wasn't on me, but the smaller wolves that had attacked me. Without warning, the larger wolf leaped off of the rock that he was standing on, pouncing upon one of the smaller wolves. The other smaller wolf leaped on top of the dark one, which I assumed was to aid the other silver wolf.

I took this opportunity by crawling away, much too injured and weak to successfully get back up into a standing position. Finding a large bush, I quickly hid in it, watching the fight from my hopefully safe position.

I watched as the large, black wolf easily snapped the neck of his victim, killing him and moving onto the other. In just a matter of minutes, the red eyed wolf had successfully defeated his duo of victims. And despite the fact that this creature saved my life, I knew better than to reveal myself.

But then, the most...strangest thing happened, right in front of my very eyes.

That...large beast, transformed into an equally large and somewhat scary looking human. Much to my relief, he had shifted with a pair of ripped jeans on.

His hair came down to his waist, the color of it matching the fur of his wolf. His eyes were also the same, that...fascinating ruby red. His skin was very tanned, most likely from being outside so much, and he had so many piercings. There were piercings that replaced his eyebrows, piercings on his nose, ears, chin, and even arms!

I gasped loudly in shock, quickly covering my mouth when his head snapped over towards the direction that I was in. However, it was too late, as he began to make his way over to where I was.

Frightened beyond belief, I attempted to curl up, but it became out of the question when intense pain coursed throughout my entire body.

"Hey, I ain't gonna hurt you little Shrimp," a rough, deep voice said to me softly.

Glancing up, I gasped when I noticed that the creature was right in my face, his face showing a deep concern. I let out a small whimper, my eyes clouded with tears.

Without warning, I felt strong, gentle arms wrap around me, pulling me up and out of the bushes. I winced at the pain that each cut, bruise, and bite mark gave me.

The man-wolf carrying me winced himself and glanced down at me. "Sorry I didn't get here earlier, but I didn't think that this would be how we would meet.."

"What?" I asked, clearly confused.

I wasn't scared of him anymore, as he obviously was not hostile. But this creature acted very strange. Very strange indeed.

He scowled. "Tch. I'll explain later. Wendy'll fix ya up."

I just stared at the wolf man even more, my curiosity becoming greater. "I don't understand."

"You will soon. Just go ta sleep, little Shrimp. I'll wake ya up when we get there," he grumbled out.

Sleeping was the last thing that I wanted to do at the moment, but after awhile, the combination of exhaustion and weakness eventually forced me to fall asleep in the arms of this mysterious creature.
