Chapter 1. Strange New Beginning

"My name is Lala Wilbrew. I've been driving since I was eighteen.  I've been on the run ever since.  There is a group called the Torna after me.  It's not because I'm fast, powerful, or extremely intelligent.  It's despite all those things that I'm the most sought after.  And it's not because I'm a werewolf.

It's because I'm a Rogue werewolf.

I ran away.  Now I'm hunted.

And this is my story..."

"Kit, Kit, wake up."  I woke my sister from her sleep for the tenth time.

"Go to sleep, Lala" her sleepy voice dragged, a lazy hand shooing me off to bed.

"But sis," I insisted with a trembling jaw.  "There's something outside my window."

"It's the Oak tree scratching your window," Kit said.  "Now go to sleep."

"No, no.  Oak trees don't have yellow eyes, Kit," I replied, still not convinced.

"It's the neighbour's cat," Kit mumbled, pulling her covers over her head and eyes.  I tugged at her covers until her bright red hair emerged again.  "What?" she muttered.

"But Kitten orange eyes, not yellow."

"It's a trick of the light.  Photo lens, rays, blah blah.  Lala stop being so scared.  Go to sleep."

I looked at my sister skeptically.  I knew it wasn't a cat, tree branches, or a trick of the light that was keeping me up at night.  It was another creature... watching me.

"I'm not going to sleep." I told my sis.

"Look, come sleep with me in my bed.  There's no window facing my bed."

I didn't hesitate to climb in and wrap underneath the warm covers and cuddle close to my big sister.  Though she never believes my wild tales she is the only one who makes me feel safe.

And now she's gone...

SCREECH.

"Aaah!" My sister screamed so loud I fell out of the bed.  The shock almost made me not notice the blood dripping from my fingers and the puddle soaked in her sheets and on the floor.

"Kit!"
