Running with the Wolves

Old New Family

15 years ago

Y/N POV:

"Come on, mama, we are going to miss the boat if we don't hurry" I say to my mother, watching her with trepidation. As we run towards the ship sailing away from the island, I see my mother running in front of me, jumping on the ship and calling my name as my little feet do not make it in time and slip out from under me… ***CRASH***

My mother looks at me in pure terror as blood pools below on the rocks, the ship sails further and further away past the horizon. "Y/N!!!"  She screams as the captain holds her back from jumping out into the open sea.

*4 hours later*

I wake up covered in blood, but no wounds are to be found. Looking up, I see a pack of wolves approaching, and I scream in terror until one of the wolves transforms into a woman with beautiful blue eyes.  "Come here, child." She speaks to me as she walkes closer to me between the other wolves. I tense as she runs her hand through my hair and picks me up, walking towards a small village in the woods.

"Where are we?" I whisper as I watch the beautiful blue fairy lights in the sky. She looked at me with a twinkle in her eyes and utteres, "My child, we are in the Daffodil woods." I look at her in absolute wonder, jumping from her arms as we approach the beautiful lights in the center of the petite village.

I walk around the village looking at the old church at the back of the village. Suddenly someone holds me back, and I see her picking me up. "That's a do not enter zone, My child" I watch her face curiously as I ask "Why can we not go there miss?" She smiles softly at me but ignores my question and distracts me by handing me a flower. She puts us down and we walk towards a path in the woods.

Wandering around in the woods, I suddenly looked back at her and ask "What is your name?" She is not unprepared for my question, as she looks right at me and tells me, "My name is Miss Ashworth, but you may call me Luna." She continues speaking, but my mind is far away as the delayed memories suddenly hit me.

"MY MOM?!? WHERE IS MY MOTHER?"  I look around frantically trying to find my mother as I run off into the woods back where we came from. Luna, not far behind me, yells at me to come back here immediately. I keep running, sprinting, not minding any sudden drops or even branches slicing into my skin. Again I approach the edge of the island and watch the rock below stained in my own blood, my mother nowhere to be found.

"AAAAAAAH!!! Where is she?" I scream at Luna as I try to come across as threatening, which we probably all know is not working. She stares at me and then sits down next to where I am standing. "Your mother left with the sailors; she watched as you fell to the rocks below, and she tried to jump after you." I look up at her with skeptical eyes.

"Then why am I not dead?" I look at my skin not a scratch to be found, only dried blood. Luna gives me a look of uncertainty I cannot shake off and says, "That, my child, is a story for when you are older; for now you are under the protection of me and my family." I hug her and thank her kindly. Standing up, I look at the wolves around me, telling them they can change back too, as I know they are just like Luna.

I look around and nod bravely as the wolves now all change in front of me into a set of peculiar people. Luna watches as I stand in the middle of the pack and howl so loud it is deafening. Soon the others follow me and howl side by side with me.
