Arcelia, now very angry for she did not like being talked down upon by a sixteen year old, she is seventeen. Turned, suddenly calm with cold eyes indicating, “I am seventeen if you could not tell and you look merely sixteen so respect me; your elder!” When she said elder I almost thought it meant something more deep then how she used the word. The boy smiled then disappeared like magic.

    I astounded asked, Arcelia, “Where’d he go?” She just looked at me and gave the don’t ask don’t tell look so I quickly went quiet. Arcelia looked up at the sky, shook her head, then sighed, “sigh”. I laughed then we headed toward the car. Still I wondered of the person with a collar like mine, though his had written on it, ‘Patience is virtue.’ Maybe he knew my family? Or had come from the same place as me? These thoughts pondered through my head as I quickly fell asleep in the car.

    Bump Bump, the car made loud noises going on the dirt road as we headed toward the forest. I looked at Arcelia and wondered were the food was.

    Before I could ask, Arcelia answered in a serious tone, “To late I ate it all.” I became devastated; she ate all that food! I stared at her angry and hungry for food and looked at her like a starving puppy. She stayed serious then stopped, smiled, and laughed saying, “Don’t worry I saved you some, it’s in the back let me go get it, you steer.” I didn’t worry and quickly started steering. It was very easy, I had done this before. I looked forward and there was a black shadow of an animal in the forest.

    I wanted to make out the animal. It had the figure of a wolf and the shadow looked as if it was staring in my direction. As I was looking a pair of eagle wings came up. Then the head went up and it howled. I was getting closer and it now looked incredibly weird. A wolf with wings? Impossible! The shadows must be playing games with me. Finally I got close enough to see this was no shadow, it had glowing light blue eyes and was staring at me, still howling.

    I tried to stop the brakes so I wouldn’t hit the creature, but it rammed into the car. I heard Arcelia slam into the back of the car, then I felt myself whoosh forward. I almost hit the steering wheel but someone caught me. I looked up to see it was that guy from the morning only he had dog ears, pointing canine teeth, and a tail. He got closer picked me up then with his teeth bit me. It felt like a tap on my neck and I felt a surge of energy rush in me then come out as everything went black…
