A Wolfs Awakening

Jack wakes up excited for the day, it's a Friday the last day of term, his 17th birthday is the next day, and everything is just going well so far... He hops off of the bed and pulls out an outfit from his closet, changing into his uniform and putting on some shoes before he goes downstairs where his mother is standing in the kitchen preparing breakfast.

"Good morning, Jack. How did you sleep?"

" I slept great mom, can I go out today? My friends are having a party at the bonfire, can I go?"Jack asked his mother as he took a seat next to her on one of the kitchen stools.

"Of course, you can dear. But remember, no running off on your own okay? You know how dangerous it can be here." Nola reminded him as she turned around to look at him.

"d'you want me to drop you off at school?" asked Nola as she placed the omelette in front of her son.

"no thanks, I'm going to ride my bike with Elijah" Jack stated

"Oh alright then," Nola replied before they both went back to eating breakfast. After breakfast, Nola made sure that Jack had packed all his stuff before she let him leave.

After getting on his bike, Elijah messages Jack telling him he got dropped off at school.

Jack was always really close to Elijah and the two often spent time together. They have gotten pretty good friends since middle school, even after they got older, Jack still saw Elijah as his brother.

After making it to the school, Jack ran inside to find Elijah sitting on the ground.

"Hey, sorry I couldn't ride with you to school," said Elijah.

"no worry man" replied Jack as he helped Elijah to his feet.

"so are you coming to the bonfire tonight?" asked Elijah as the two began to walk down the hall, headed to class.

"yeah man, of course! " replied Jack "what time do we need to start heading there?"

"well we should meet by the fountain at 3:30" replied Elijah

"Okay, I'll see you later," Jack said with a smile as he waved goodbye to Elijah before walking in the direction of his class. Once in his classroom, he took out the worksheets he needed to take notes from. A few minutes later his teacher walked in and started the lesson.

Midway through the lesson, the teacher opens the door and announces a new student 'Bree'. The teacher explains that she's here to make some friends for the next term in September.

Bree walks in and sits down next to Jack who gives her a small wave. Bree looks over at Jack, gives him a little smile and waves back. Jack introduces himself properly and so does Bree.

Bree Jackson is relatively new to Worrow, she hasn't got any friends that live here. Her family usually move around a lot so she doesn't get to make a lot of friends. Bree had a purple crystal necklace that her grandmother gave her when she was a child.

"so what brings you to Worrow?" asks Jack as he starts taking notes about the lecture

"I'm here for the partying, sex and drugs," Bree says sarcastically but with a big grin plastered across her face.

"Well, I hope to hear all the good things" responded Jack with a chuckle.

After class ends, Jack gets up and begins making his way to his locker so he can put away his things. As he opens the locker, Bree interrupts him.

"Hey, Jack" she calls.

"Yeah?" replies Jack as he closes his locker

"I'm kinda lost..do you know where section 3B is?" asks Bree.

"uh yeah, that's Where I'm heading now. right this way" responds Jack as he walks past Bree and turns left, continuing down the hallway.

The two of them walk side by side to class when they get to class they sit together and talk to each other about random stuff and anything else that comes to mind.

When class is over, Jack and Bree wait until everyone else leaves before they begin walking out of the building. Jack stops to wait for Bree to catch up with him.

"where to next?" asks Bree as she walks next to Jack.

"Well, my friends and I are gonna head to the bonfire, you wanna come?" asks Jack

"I don't know, my parents would probably kill me." Bree states

"oh come on! ill keep you safe! it'll be fun! Trust me,". says Jack.

"oh how chivalrous of you.." says Bree as she rolls her eyes playfully and smiles.

The two met up with Elijah at the fountain.

"hey!" Elijah greeted as he approached them, he adds "who's the girl?"

"This is Bree! Bree, this is Elijah." explained Jack, he adds

"she's new to Worrow, I thought she might like to come along."

"Alright," answered Elijah "just don't get too drunk".

"oh come on! we're not that bad." joked Jack

"if only you knew" laughed Elijah.

The group laughed as they got on their bikes to ride to the bonfire, which would take place in the Forrest.

Eventually, it got dark and the bonfire was going strong, most people were dancing and smoking weed. There were a few people who seemed to be having a hard time. while drinking some beer he sees a lady with long Red hair wearing a skintight white jumpsuit standing behind the tree line.

Jack rubs his eyes vigorously and looks back at her to see if he had been mistaken, however, the woman is definitely staring at him. he decides to go check it out

"hey uh I'll be back wait here," says Jack as he walks away from Bree.

"uh..why are you walking into the woods alone? haven't you seen a horror movie before?" questioned Bree.

"I just..have to do something," answers Jack.

Once he makes it near the tree line, the woman is gone, until he hears a voice calling out to him deep in the woods.

Jack follows the voice Deep into the woods. It seems to get louder and louder as Jack continues deeper into the forest, finally reaching an opening in the trees and he sees a large field. Jack slowly approaches the edge of the clearing and looks to his left.

There, standing in the middle of the field, in the centre stands a huge red wolf, almost six feet tall.

The moon glistens brightly illuminating the red-furred figure.

It snarls at Jack which makes him run back a bit, then it lets out a loud roar, startling Jack.

the wolf runs towards the edge of the clearing where Jack is standing.

"OH SHIT!" yells Jack as he begins to run back in the same direction, away from the wolf.

He runs back and forth through the woods trying to escape the giant wolf, Jack begins to weave through the branches trying his best to escape the predator. The wolf catches up to Jack very quickly, but before Jack can turn the corner, the wolf takes hold of Jack's arm and lifts him into the air and tosses him across the clearing, sending him crashing into a tree.

Jack falls to the ground with a thud. His vision blurs as he looks up to see a dark grey wolf jumping over him and tackling the other wolf to the ground. Jack manages to stand up and quickly tries to avoid the fight between the wolves. He notices the other wolf beginning to get back up onto its feet so Jack takes off running as fast as his legs can carry him, desperately trying to get away from this nightmare.

suddenly Jack bumps into Bree and they both fall down and crash into the dirt.

"you okay?" asks Bree.

"RUN WE NEED TO GO NOW! WOLVES! WOLVES!!" responds Jack urgently.

"WHAT?! Are you shitting me?" yelled Bree.

"NO! THERE'S A HUGE FUCKING WOLF OUT HERE! GET YOUR ASS UP AND RUN!!!" shouted Jack as he started picking himself up off of the dirt

Bree stands up and quickly follows Jack.

"where are we going?" asked Bree

" I SEEN AN ABANDONED HOUSE ON MY WAY HERE! " replied Jack.

"Okay I'm with you!" assures Bree

Bree grabs one of Jack's hands as he leads her through the woods, the two continue to run until they reach the house. Once they get inside, the door closes and locks behind them.

"Is this some sort of prank?!" shouts Bree.

"No no no!! This is real! This is no prank!" replies Jack

"then why are we in a fucking abandoned house!!??" yells Bree.

Jack then looks at Bree and sighs "Bree I swear to god we are in danger!"

At that moment the front door bursts open and the huge red wolf enters the house and looks around.

Before Bree could argue again, Jack covers her mouth as they hide under the stairs of the house. Suddenly the door slams shut and the wolf begins sniffing around the house, eventually going to search under the stairs.

"what do we do? Do we stay here or should we leave?" whispers Bree

"wait...there's some kind of trap door or something under the stairs here.." suggests Jack.

"it's too small.." says Bree

Then suddenly, everywhere goes silent.

"do you hear that?" asked Bree.

"no.....wait..there's no sound.." responds Jack

Just then the door to the stairs opens and there's Elijah standing there.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" says Elijah he then adds, "you ditched me for a hook-up?!"

"What are you talking about?" asks Bree

"Shut the fuck up you whore," says Elijah in his drunken state.

"Hey! watch your mouth!" said Bree as she got out under the stairs.

Elijah just ignores her and goes straight to Jack

"why were you sneaking around with this little slut?" asked Elijah.

"Shut the HELL up Eli!" said Jack as he covers Elijah's mouth.

Elijah pushes Jack to the floor and retaliates with

Both Jack and Elijah then engage in an intense argument, they continue fighting till they both said what was on their minds.

Bree notices through the window that the red wolf is back,

"we need to go the wolf is back!" shouts Bree! Jack's eyes widen.

"Really? a fucking wolf? is that your excuse?" asks Elijah.

"there's no time for this shit," says Jack as he walks toward Bree.

"come on let's go!" says Jack grabbing Bree by the hand and leading her out of the house.

As soon as they step outside, the wolf stares them dead in the eye and charges toward them.

"Holy shit!" shouted Elijah. "That thing is huge!"

"shit, shit, shit!" cursed Jack as he grabbed Bree's wrist and started pulling her away from the house.

The wolf begins to make its way toward them, and the two of them sprint away from it. The chase continues as it starts chasing after them, Elijah follows closely behind.

as the full moon rises to its peak, Jack begins to feel strange. It wasn't any kind of pain, rather it was just a feeling of discomfort.

Suddenly the wolf grabs Jack by the shoulder and throws him to the ground. As he lands on his stomach, he sees the wolf looking down at him, it then growls loudly at him.

Then everything went black
