(Title- A Legacy to Remember) Chapter 2- Dawn
Dawn's First Shaft of Light fell upon the girl as she awoke.
her eyes blinked open and she rolled over, on her side. a fresh needle of raw pain raced up her leg. "Ouch!" all of last night's encounter raced back into her brain. grumbling, she got up, leaning on the oak tree's trunk for support. she winced, and checked her leg. much of it had healed overnight, but there were still shreds of flesh sticking out. She stared at a particularaly large shred that would easily get her caught by her clanmates. she even considered the thought of ripping it out, but frowned. her plan was to sneak in and pretend that she had been there all along, too tired to wake up until the noon wake-up call. she tried walking, her leg didnt hurt as much as she thought it would. she stumbled along, surveying the land and almost at once spotted a familiar bush. sighing in relief, she strode forward, at last reaching a dense forest, filled with everglades. she entered, the forest, dark at first, gave way to a magnificent elm. ducking under its branches, she spotted a young healer, from her clan, collecting herbs. 'probably a healer in training' she thought. she scaled the great elm and took cover on top of one of its branches, pulling another one to shield her dangling legs and her face. careful not to lean too much on her leg, she peered through the leaves, the healer had picked up her cloth basket and walked away, deeper into the forest, in the direction of the clan's main camp. silently, the girl dropped down to the ground, landing expertly on her feet and palms. she limped toward the direction of her clan, avoiding the patches of sunlight that scattered the earthy floor. just then, she heard a rustle and quickly ducked behind a nearby tree. suddenly wishing that she hadnt moved, for she didnt know in which direction the sound had come from. then there was another rustle, this time behind her. she severed to the other side of the tree, only to hear the rustlings of someone changing their position to be almost behind her. 'dammit!' she thought, 'someone's playing with me.' so instead of changing her position, she jumped up and caught the trunk of the tree in a catlike crouch, her sharp claws digging into its bark. she heard the stranger move again, but this time, it seemed that in mid-stride he had vanished, for, she couldnt hear him anymore. suddenly it seemed to her that the bark, in which her claws had dug her grip into, had tensed. 'he... or she, must have jumped onto this tree. the same one ...but how did they seen me!?' fustrated, she started to climb upwards. she knew that if she was dicovered by her clan she would have no excuse for why she was not in her sessions. she could hear the stranger's claws scrabbing in the bark and realized that he was trying to get to the other side- to her side! 'it must be a guy' she thought, 'girls arent in forest-session until noon.' she scaled up the tree, hurriedly, no longer caring if he heard her or not. she winced, the climb upward was taking a toll on her uncompletly-healed wound. the girl decided to let herself drop back to the ground again. she revised her position and was just about to shealth her claws, when a hand grabbed her wrist, jolting her balance. she felt her body smash into the tree's thick trunk. the hand still holding her wrist, seemed to dangle her above the forest floor.

Celie is about 17/18.
GrassRetches- a place that has had several (were?)wolf attaks in the past and where howls are often heard from (not the only wolf inhabited area).
In this story wolves are given a more strong/large appearance. for this story i used some refererence that say: werewolves can transform unwillingly at first and are force to eat and kill and all that other stuff blah blah blah, but as they get used to it (this may only take one moon, depends on character's resistance/inner strength) they have the ability of morphig into a wolf even though without a full moon, but they still have/forced to morph into wolf on the night of the full moon (...or maybe not o.o).
eris- a title spoken b4 a person's name meaning "honored elder" or "wise one"
sessions- classes , they have a lot to learn u know-_-
as for the rest... i'm going to be a 'bed' potatoe and let u guys follow along and use your imaginations
