The Wolf Inside Me

Chapter 1. The Awakening Of The Wolf

               Hello, I am William Dwane, and this is the beginning of the story that changed my life completly. The first time I had ever felt like I was special towards both myself and the people around me or ...at least to the people who know my secret.... This is how it all started.

               I was a normal boy, who wasn't popular, the type of guy who wasn't athletic nor handsome, I was the kid who had mediocre grades and who wasn't taken as an example. Long story short, I was a loser, but everything changed in one summer :

              It was a normal day during the summer break.I had just finished middle school and I can proudly tell you that holiday between 8-th grade and 9-th grade was the best! Since I changed everything , from classmates to teachers and even the school! It meant that I had 3 months of complete freedom but.... I was still down. Everything seemed to be very slow and I was always feeling like I was missing something.... I needed something to take my mind off of the odd feeling of emptyness.
              I was sitting in my room looking outside the window , watching the woodsline at the edge of our property . Because I bored of the usual program so I decided spend the  day walking through the woods . The house where we lived was located in the small villige of Willson , a quiet villige situated in the mountains. The villige was surounded by a dense pine forest, through which you could easily get lost, but I didn't care.  I grew up exploring these woods so I knew them like the back of my hand. 

            Once outside I took a deep breath of the fresh air as I began heading for the woods . I ended up taking the same path that I always take because it was leading to a small clearing . I loved that place , the peace and quiet that would ocasionally be broken by a few birds who were playing or singing , the colourfull flowers that filled the ground , making the air smell very beautifull and also the very small posibility of seeing a deer running around the field . That could be considered my happy place ! The place where I would always go when I felt like I needed to relax after a bad day .
            I was already walking for about 20 minutes when I couldn't help myself but laugh as I reminded myself of how scared I was of going in the woods. When I was young, my grandfather used to tell me stories of strange creatures who were roaming in the woods, wolves with a human like bodies who would do anything to be able to spill the blood of any unsuspecting person who dared to venture in the woods. As I grew I stopped believing in his stories since I taught they were just inventions, made so that they knew I wouldn't venture of in the woods.
             I ended up staying in the woods until the light of the sun faded away behind the mountain as it was replaced by the moon. I started to walk back towards the house but I stopped as I heard a twig break behind me. At first I didn't look back because I taught I was only imagining it but once I heard another one I turned around startled. This time it was not in my head . I started to slowly scan my suroundings , chills running down my spine as I tried to find whatever made the noise . 
             It was almost dark, but I still could see a figure peeking from behind a tree. Without hesitation I imediatelly started to run, hoping that I wasn't followed, but I was wrong since I could hear twigs breaking behind me. I ended up taking a refuge in a cave. I was tired, I could feel my hearth jumping out of my chest.
           " I think he lost me...." I said letting out a sigh of relief. The moment wasn't lived for long though . I saw the same silhouette walking closely towards me but this time.....this time I could see him clearly. It was one of the creatures from my grandfather's stories.  
           I instinctively started to run deeper in the dark cave. Not being able to see anything I used my phone to light the way. The light was not powerfull enough to offer me a clear view of what was in front of me but the fact that I could at least see the floor in front was enough. I was shocked when I realised that in my frantic blind running was sitting in front of a ravine.It seemed to be very deep but I could clearly see water at the bottom, but I really didn't feel like jumping. I was about to back out but I saw that there was only one way but in front of it was the wolf like humanoid . I was scared. I tried to back away but I quicly realised that I was on the edge of the cliff of the ravine.
           And there I was, sitting trapped between a wolf that was in front of me, and a deep ravine behind. As the Wolf came closer I started to hear a faint sound. I started at the Wolf as both of us looked at the stone floor underneath my legs which was cracking.
          " WELL SHIT! " I shouted as the floor broke under my feet.
As I started to fall I saw the Wolf run towards me. He tried to catch me but he wasn't fast enough. The last thing I remember is falling , watching the wolf extend his hand to catch me and then blackout.....
