Warrior (Shewolf)
Chapter 3: The Memory

'A little girl ran through the forest. He didn't look scared in his eyes. He just looks happy. Going to the forest was the thing that the girl liked the most.

The girl jumped up and down with a smile. Suddenly his steps stopped. He heard a groaning voice. He looked to his right and left to look for the direction of the voice.

I could not hear the water for long. The little girl reached the river. But the voice was getting clearer. The little girl came towards the direction of the voice. He knew the sound was coming from behind a bush not far from where he was standing. The little girl looked at the bush. The bush swayed slowly. He was stunned for a moment then slowly stepped his feet towards the bush. Suddenly there was a growling sound, making the little girl gasp in shock. But he did not at all discourage his intention to find out. The girl opened the bush and found an animal there. Animals that are large enough than the size of normal animals usually. The girl was stunned, she was surprised by what she saw. The animal growled furiously and walked backwards. The animal's body was scarred, even its legs were hard to move.

"Ohh, what a pity.." The girl stepped forward but the animal growled even harder. "It's okay, I won't hurt you."

The girl was getting closer. The animal looks panicked.

"I'll help you. You look in pain. Really, I'm not gonna hurt you."

The girl is getting closer. The animal continued to walk backwards in a limp, avoiding the little girl. But before long he was trapped, there was already a river behind him.

"All right, I'll stop" said the girl and stopped her steps. But the girl was still staring at the large animal, to convince the beast. "I'm not going to hurt you. I'll just check your wound. Your wounds look bad."

The girl began to stare at the animal's wounds. Even his left hind leg had already lifted a little. The little girl knew the animal was in pain.

"What a pity.." The girl was silent for a moment. "Ahh yes!!" the girl then stood up and ran away.

The animal looked relieved. He tried to walk back to the bush he was in, but his legs were getting harder and harder to move. Finally he could only lay himself on the river.

Before long, there was the sound of someone running. The animal seemed to have heard the sound of footsteps from far away. The animal stood up and looked alert. The little girl ran. He came back to the big animal. The little girl stopped her run right in front of the big animal. The girl looked exhausted. He rubbed the sweat on his forehead, cheeks and neck.

"Lay down, I'll treat your wounds."

The animal did not obey, only growling louder.

"You know? I'm not afraid of you even though you growl that hard. You're hurt and you need to be treated" said the girl and sat down and unloaded the box she was carrying. "My father was a veterinarian and I used to see my father treat the animals."

The girl stopped her activities and stared at the animal that was still standing rigidly before her.

"Why stay there? Come here." Come here."

The animal seemed to doubt.

"I'm not going to hurt you. Yeah, I'm young, but I'm pretty much the adult of a girl my age."

The girl seemed impatient. He moved closer all of a sudden, when the animal was unprepared. Inevitably, the animal let the girl approach him.

"There's so much pity. This wound on your leg is very severe. I have to take you to my father. My father can cure you."

The girl was busy trying to treat the wound while the animal looked at the little girl with a look of wonder.

kressk's..

Suddenly a voice sounded in the bushes. The animal suddenly became alert. He then growled louder and louder. The little girl looked surprised.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? you all right?" ask the little girl. But the animal is getting angry. The girl looked frightened now. "A-is there anything?"

I heard the growling again. But the growl was not from the animal that was with the little girl, but from behind the little girl. The girl looked up and was surprised. Behind him was another animal. The girl noticed the animal that had just arrived. They were very similar, it was just that the animal that had just come had grey feathers mixed in black and its body was much larger than the animal he was treating.

"Wait.. y'all..wolf? or dogs? no, no. You're wolves. But why is your body so big?"

The two wolves did not care what the little girl was talking about. They just kept growling at each other violently and looked extremely angry. The white-haired wolf mixed in brown stepped forward and let the little girl behind him.

"Hey wait, I haven't finished treating you yet." protested the girl but the white-haired wolf didn't care.

The gray-haired wolf howled loudly. Two more big wolves appeared. The girl was getting confused and frightened. The white-haired wolf turned to the girl for a moment and looked back at the three wolves before him. One of the wolves ran over and attacked the white-haired wolf. The girl shouted out loud...

Allana woke up from her sleep. His breathing was quick and his body began to sweat. Allana looked at her room and breathed a sigh of relief. He was dreaming, he thought. He rubbed his sweaty forehead.

"A strange dream... But that little girl was me.. And wolves? Is that a dream? I don't remember ever meeting a wolf as big as before. Yeah, it was just a dream. There's no way it's real. It must be just a dream."

Allana tries to convince herself of her dream. He looked at the clothes he was wearing. He was still wearing clothes yesterday. He stared at the alarm clock on the nightstand. It's six in the morning. He had to leave early so as not to meet with his family members.

Allana down the stairs. He wanted to skip his breakfast and go to school immediately.

"Allana?" call mother.

Allana's surprised. She didn't think her mother knew she was out of the room. He has stepped as slow as possible. Allana let out a long sigh and came towards the direction of the voice. Allana reached the kitchen and looked at the four members of her family there.

"Come and have breakfast" said his mother.

"No ma'am, Allana's not feeling well. Allana's just going to school." Allana turned around but had not had time to walk, her mother called her again.

"Allana, wait a minute." Allana. "Come here."

Allana snorted in annoyance then turned around and walked over.

"Did you not want breakfast?" ask mother. Allana shakes. "alright. But we need to talk to Allana."

"Can't it be later? Allana has to go to school, ma'am."

"Mom knows. Just for a minute." persuade his mother. Allana. He really did not want to talk much less about werewolves. "We want you to know who and what a werewolf is. Later if you can change, you'll-"

"I don't want to be a werewolf." cut Allana fast.

"Allana baby, but you're a werewolf."

"Is there no other way for Allana not to become a werewolf? Allana doesn't want to ma'am, Allana doesn't want to be a monster!!"

"Allen... Werewolves aren't monsters."

"No, to Allana it was a monster! We're daddy's monsters!! And Allana doesn't want to be a monster!!"

"Allen..."

"It looks like he's starting to hallucinate." said Alice.

"I'm not hallucinating. The werewolf is a monster. Are you all unaware of everything you do?! You killed a human!!!" peekik Allana's.

"Gosh, it turns out he's crazy!"

"Alice.. Stop the. Allana... Nobody kills here."

"Didn't you hear the news about the discovery of the dead bodies in the forest? In this city there were no ferocious beasts, at least that was what Allana knew. But since seeing you guys can change like that.. I'm.."

"Then you think we killed them?! Crazyhead!" screeches Alice.

"Alice.. Stop that."

"But ma'am, he said we're killers!"

"For Alice's sake, your sister just doesn't know."

"Huft. I don't want to take care of a unstable child who doesn't want to accept who he is and his real family. I want to go, meet up with friends. I'm tired of hearing her complain." Alice took her bag and left.

"Derek will go too, patrolling." Derek took a piece of sandwich to take him away. "Just relax little brother. You'll get used to it." Derek said as he ruffled Allana's hair and left them.

"Allana listen, what's going on in the woods, about those dead people. It's not all our doing. Dad, your mom, Derek or Alice. It was Rogue. Rogue is a werewolf who has no fixed pack. Usually they are made up of people who do not have a pack, in the eviction of the previous pack, alienated, traitors, such. Their group was also unlike the pack of werewolves in general. They don't have alpha, beta.. Only leader. They're also always destructive and killing."

"Of course not Allana. We have a pack, named the Moon Hykolt pack. We werewolves are forbidden to kill people or harm them. There are rules that prohibit it and agreements made with ordinary humans so that werewolves do not show our true selves to ordinary humans, let alone kill them. That's off limits."

"Your father is right, baby. It wasn't us who did it but rogue, who attacked you last night."

"Then... Why would they attack Allana too?"

"They rogue Allana, that's what they do. They don't care who's in front of them. They'll attack and kill them."

"That's why we patrol. Your two brothers came home to help patrol the assault."

Allana. He doesn't know what else to say.

"Allana, I know this is hard to believe, but I beg you to learn to accept it. We'll tell you everything about werewolves, we'll help you to change and-"

"Why can't Allana change?"

"What?"

"Why can't Allana change? If indeed Allana was a werewolf, Allana should be able to turn into that monster. Why can't Allana? Why just Allana?"

Allana's question made her parents look at each other for a moment.

"That's.. We don't know." replied Allana's mother. Allana frowned confusedly.

"Wolf man should have changed by the time he was five years old. But you still can't until now. So we all decided to cover this up from you until you're seventeen and we'll teach you to change shape and everything."

"Because seventeen is the ripe age for young werewolves to search for packs and find their true selves, who they are and of course, mate."

"Just calm down, Allana, I will definitely help you."

"No, no ma'am. Allana doesn't want to be helped. Allana doesn't want to be a werewolf. No, I don't want to."

Allana ran away from her father and mother.

"Looks like he doesn't want to change." muttered Allana's mother.

"Prophey darling. He needs time."

"But what if he refuses? You know the prophecy. It could be Allana."

"Are you sure, baby?"

"I... I don't know. But I was a member of the Crysort pack before. Our former members of the Crysort pack began to panic, beginning to search for who the warrior was among our children. Including our son, Ben."

"Oh my dear. I know, I get it. But we can't force Allana. Any sign on his body not even? That means the warrior is not Allana."

"I don't know Ben, I'm so upset."

Allana's father hugged his wife.

"We're going to coax him and we're going to prove that the warrior is not Allana and you can calm down."

"All right."

Allana's father and mother fell silent and dissolved in their thoughts.

Allana was still pensive during the lesson. He was confused as to how. She was still in shock and even she felt fear.

"Allen..."

"Allen..."

"Allen!!"

Allana was shocked. He looked at the direction of the voice. Hope and Erica looked at him confusedly.

"What's wrong with you? You all right?" asked Erica astonished.

"Ten-of course I'm good. What's wrong with me?"

"You're daydreaming. Since I and Hope were holding you back, you didn't even notice to move at all."

"Ah.. That's.. I'm.."

"Are you okay Al? Is there a problem?"

"N-no, of course not."

"But you-"

"Hi girls." one man appeared and sat down near them.

"Marco, wherever you've been." Erica stood up with a trace of her waist and glared.

"Whooaa you're so creepy."

"I don't care! You promised me!!"

"Yes yes, very chatty. It's."

Marco handed a parcel to Erica.

"Uhmm what is that?" ask Hope.

"Just the deposit I asked for. Marco just got home from New York and I asked him to find something there."

Hope and Allana nodded in horror while Erica and Marco just stared at each other in silence.

One teacher entered their classroom. All the students returned to their seats. Mr. George Martin, their history teacher is standing before them.

"Well, before we start the lesson, someone wants you to introduce. Come inside."

All the students looked at the entrance of the class. One girl came in. The girl was quite tall with shoulder-length red hair. He was wearing black leather pants and long-sleeved white clothes and boots heels. He doesn't look like a schoolboy. It made all the students look at it. Allana looked at the astonished girl and the girl also looked at her then smiled faintly. It looks like what the girl was looking for has been found. The girl's eyes did not move from Allana.

"Include yourself" said Mr. Martin.

"My name is Gyria Lekhof. I moved from Alaska" Gyria said in a cold tone and still stared at Allana.

"All right, Miss Lekhof. Please sit on an empty bench. And I beg you, this is school, not a nightclub. So dress more neatly and look at the shoes you wear. I don't know how your old school was but... "

Mr. Martin was still reprimanding Gyria but Gyria did not care and did not listen. He just looked at Allana and smiled.

"I found you."
