part 1

I was running through the dark forest, running for my life, behind me was a creature I never thought could be real,  a   troll. I read as fast as I could until I reached an abandoned house in the middle of no where. I immediately ran inside and locked the doors in an attempt to keep the troll away. It was raining, raining cats and dogs, I was scared and cold. The howling winds, the troll outside, the heavy thunderstorm was all too much, I was starving, I was hungry, I wanted something to eat, even if it was stale I would not care, I needed to eat.
I womdered around the house till I stumbled into a kitchen well stocked with food. Someone loved here and I just barged in. Was it the trolls house, did I just stumble into the trolls house. Shit! I am to young to die! I am just 24, I havn't even experienced much in life, I can't die, definitely not by the hands of a freaking hate ugly troll. I stiffed my mouth with some bread and butter and begin to sneak across the house for some weapon.  To my luck I found a shot gun, I picked the gun and walked out, I was ready to kill that freaking troll. Taking the last bit of courage left in me, I stood at a fare distance from the door ready to shoot that damn troll if he walked through.
I waited for hours  until the door swung open, but it wasn't a troll that walked through, it was 12 men who were fairly well built for their age. I watched in horror as right before my eyes they all turned into big fury dogs.... Reality struck me, these men were warewolves and I was right now standing in the middle of a house, an abondened house, with a troll wanting em dead waiting outside and 12 warewolfs, who havnt noticed me yet in the inside.
I tried to hold my breath as I sneaked towards the back of the house, hoping to leave without being noticed. As I took the last step towards freedom, I realised that a wet nose was touching my butt. I turned around and saw a black wolf with golded eyes staring at me..... Rather growling at me.
" Easy boy, I mean no harm" I said as I backed up against the door. Before I could turn around and make a run, the wolf pounced on me and I screamed.
The next thing I new was that, that black wolf was being tackled to the other side by a brown big wolf. I tried to stand but realised that the claws of the black wolf had scraped across my thigh and had slashed it open. Just as i was about to try to stand again, a man in his late twenties stood in front of me, and gently lifted me up
" Forgive me for the rude behaviour of  Alex, he simply has no control over how he should behave with humans " Said the man as he gently laid me on a soft mattress..
" I meant no harm" I mumbled as he provided first aid to my thigh
" Oh of course you didn't, otherwise you would have shot at least one of us with my shotgun" He said
" Who are you? " I asked
"oh forgive my manners, my name is Ernest, Ernest sinclaire, I am the alpha of the pack" He said as he lit up a few candles in the room allowing me to see his face more clearly " I don't understand what a fair maiden as you is doing in a forest like this " He said looking directly at my eyes
" I was being chased by a troll and I took shelter here to protect myself from the storm and the troll" I said trembling die to the cold.
He nodded and walked over to a wardrobe and took out a nice fluffy sweater and a pait of jogger pants and handed them to me
" I' ll send one of the servents to help you get dressed " He said as be left the room

A few moments later, a lady in her late 40s came to me and helped me change
" Thank you" I said but she just went out without saying a word.

Exhausted I lay my head on the pillow and slept.   Strangely I felt safe here.
The next morning I felt much better and I walked out of the room l, limping a little, I almost fell down the last few stairs, but a strong pair of arms gripped me
"Careful miss" He said , I recongnised the voice. It was Ernest.
" Thank you. You can call me Clara" I said as he helped me down the rest of the stairs and to a dining room
I noticed that all 11 men were already seated at the table, one of them had a huge scar on his head and I assumed he was Alex, the same wolf who attacked me. 
Ernest pulled out a chair for me and helped me settle down before sitting down himself. Some servenr brought in the food, which smelled utterly delicious and Ernest served me some on a plate, with a smile

" Thank you for the hospitality sir, I appreciate your help, now I must go, back to my home " I said  as I walked towards the door, before I could step out I felt him grip my hand
"Who told you, you could leave " He said
" What do you mean" I asked
" You came in on your own account but will leave on mine" He said as he swiflty carried me back to my room.
"Make sure she does not leave the perimeters of the estate" He said to all of the men and servents who knows return nodded.
