Lucy awoke laying on the ground that was still damp with the rainfall from last night. It was just beginning to break into daylight. At first she had no recognition of where she was, but then the memories came flooding back to her. The rest of the pack was still sleeping most in there half human half werewolf form. Lucy looked beside her to find that Jeremy was still sleeping beside her and a small smile tugged at the corners of Lucy's lips. Lucy got up off the ground and headed for the woods beside the destroyed village; as soon as she hit the trees she took off in a sprint then changed into full werewolf form. One thing Lucy loved about being a wolf was the running part; she could go as fast as she wanted. It was amazing, she was big enough to take out anything in her path. Lucy could go for miles by just running through the forest.
About 40 feet ahead, blocking/laying on the path Lucy was running in was a woman. She was probably in her twenties. "I'm hungry." thought Lucy as she slowed her pace down then came to a stop. "I wonder if she is lost, should I keep going?" but a growl in her stomach was suggesting that this woman is her next kill. There was a faint voice in the back of Lucy's mind telling her to keep going and leave the innocent woman alone, but her hunter instincts took over. With one leap she was on top of the woman. Her muzzle was now digging into the flesh of the woman's neck. "It tastes so good. Lucy was absorbed in the taste of the rich blood as the body grew dry and limp" L Lucy sucked the rest of the blood out of the body then changed to human form, because she just couldn't stand the half and half form. Wiping the blood off her mouth she walked away from the now dead body. She didn't want to think about the fact that the woman she just killed could have had a family, so she didn't.
The sun was just showing through the trees and Lucy decided that it should be time to head back. Most of the pack was still sound asleep except for two, who were sitting by a fallen tree and Jeremy was one of them. He turned his head and noticed Lucy and gestured for her to join them.
“Where were you this morning? I woke up and you weren’t beside me. I got worried.” Jeremy said, his face did show that he was concerned about Lucy.
“Went for a run. And I, umm, had break feast.” Lucy’s face immediately turned red. Jeremy and West(the other guy) started laughing.
“Don’t be embarrassed Lu. It’s fine that you ate. Just always make sure no one is around when you do. We wouldn’t want the cops after us now would we?” West said in a sarcastic tone, he had an English accent that was very cute. After West said that he walked over to the tree lines and took off running.
There was a moment of silence between Jeremy and Lucy, when finally Jeremy broke it.
“Guess West was hungry.” after he said it Lucy began to giggle. Jeremy also joined in on her giggling. “What was your life like before we, umm, kinda turned you into a werewolf?”
The question took Lucy by surprise. She responded in a friendly voice. “Correction, before you changed me into a werewolf. To tell you the truth, my life was perfect. I had parents who loved me and they didn’t fight. I had a sister who adored me and looked up to me in everything I did. I was co-captain of my schools cheer squad. I had friends who that I was amazing. And I would have been getting a scholarship for cheering. My life was perfect.” Lucy turned away from Jeremy’s face because she could feel her eyes begin to tear up. Lucy also thought about saying some other things about how Jeremy ruined that for her, but decided at leaving it at that.
“I’m sorry Lucy.” Jeremy said that then he walked away.
“You should be.” Lucy thought of calling after him saying that, but he was apart of her new family the one she still has to get used to.
Lucy looked around at the village where the pack lay. Most were in dead sleep others were stirring. Jeremy had now reached the tree line and was in the woods. Lucy again looked at the pack and made sure everyone was here, three were missing. “Two are in the woods, but where is the third one?” Lucy was thinking to herself. “Carity’s missing...” I pang of guilt settled in Lucy’s stomach. She made Carity leave yesterday because she wasn’t being mice to her. “What if she is gone for good?” Lucy couldn’t bare the thought that she upset Carity, causing her to leave. It made Lucy’s stomach go into knots. “I better go find her, and when I do find her, apologize.
It wasn’t hard finding Carity, she didn’t go far from the village maybe a couple hundred yards. She was resting under a pine tree.
“Carity? I know you’re awake. Listen I’m-” but Carity cut her off.
“Lucy no don’t say you’re sorry, I’m the one who should be sorry. I didn’t mean to snap at you like that. You were just tired and I was too. It’s just that you don’t appreciate what you have. If I was you that man would have been dried in a instint. Because we never know when we eat again.”
“I know, I’m getting used to the whole werewolf thing still. Carity? Can I ask you a question?” Lucy’s voice was a little bit shaky.
“Maybe.” Lucy took that as a yes.
“How long have you been a werewolf? I’m just curious.” A smile was spreading across Lucy’s lips.
“Well kid, longer that you have been alive.” She smirked at Lucy, the smirk was saying you will find out another time.
“That wasn’t really helpful...” A frown now spread across Lucy’s lips and she looked down at her bare feet.
“Some things are left better in known Lu.” Carity had now got up and was heading back to the village.
Lucy stayed by the pine tree for awhile. Processing what Carity had just said. She finally sighed. “I will never understand that girl.” She said it out loud as if to make a point.
