The Tormented Soul

Chapter 2: running for my life

The sky is clear and the moonlight is shining on the dark night sky. I'm running through the woods, I'm covered in dirt and blood. While I am running for my life I can feel the twigs that scratch and cut all over my body.

I jump over rocks and overturned tree trunks. I dodge the branches that are scrambled everywhere. I tried to avoid them but some scratch my skin and make more cuts all over my body that leaves a blood trail and an easier way to track me down. I noticed that in some places the ground is wet, I stumble and fall to the ground and get more dirt all over my body. My clothes (more like rags) get more and more torn with every fall. Everytime I fall I push myself up and start running again, trying to push myself even further away from my living nightmare.

Not far behind me I can hear wolves howling and growling. I can hear when their paws hit the ground while chasing me throughout the woods. It's not easy to run away from wolves, they have an incredible speed, hearing, and they can track a scent. And I know they are tracking my scent now, thanks to the forest it made it easier for them to track me because of my blood trail.

I just escaped years of abuse and torture from my own father. My father is the alpha of the Moonlit Howlers, I'm the oldest child of two children but I'm the only one that still is alive and my name is Aleera Hawks and I'm 16 years old.

I've been told a few years back that I looked like my mother. I had her light blue eye color and the same long dark blond hair. I was 5.6 feet tall, and I had a slim figure, but for the last few years I have become anorexic. I looked more like skin and bones but thanks to the werewolf gene I still looked better then if I was a normal human. If I would have been a human I would probably be dead.
