Mania POV

I was walking through the forest quietly.

'Who would take more than they need of food?' I wondered

I then seen a black wolf up ahead.

'Crap' I thought I then quietly tried to back up but the large wolf turned in my direction.

It growled then charged at me.

I turned and ran full speed.

Five other wolves joined in on the chase.

I made it to a creek and stopped.

The spacing is far.

I looked back to see the wolves closing in.

I then ran down following the creek.

I then seen a sturdy tree up ahead and jumped and quickly climbed it to a branch.

I was panting and looked down to see the wolves all there trying to jump up and get me.

I then looked to see a tree branch connected to a larger tree across the creek.

'I can make that' I thought

I then stood up on the branch and the wolves backed off curious of what I'm about to do.

I then ran across the branch and jumped.

I grabbed the branch and it curved which helped me to land on ground.

I turned to see the wolves looking rather angry.

Except for 1.

A sandy colored wolf.

I was worried that it was going to try to jump across but instead it turned and ran into the forest.

'These wolves are weird.' I thought

I climbed another tall tree and prepared to sleep.

The sun was gone and the moon shined brightly in the sky.

"Pst!!" someone whispered

I opened my eyes and looked around.

"Hey over here!!" the voice said again.

I then looked down and across the creek to see a boy my age.

"Why are you up there? Won't you get cold?" the boy asked

I looked down at my clothing that I received from the water province.

I then looked back at the boy.

The boy stood there akwardly.

'I can't speak to outsiders' I thought

I then stood up.

I jumped down from the tree and stood tall.

I then smelled the air.

'This boy smells like those wolves.' I thought

"Uh my name is Seth.Whats yours?" the boy asked again

I then went to turn around.

"Wait please don't leave!" Seth called out

"Mania." I said

"What?" Seth asked again

I turned and looked at him with my silver dragon eyes.

"My name is Mania." I said again.

"That's a beautiful name." Seth said with a smile

I was confused.

"Is this a trap?" I asked looking around.

"Nope.I just snuck away to look for you.Would you like to stay at my place? You might get cold from being out here" Seth said

"I am fine.The cold doesn't bother me. But I have a question for you" I said

"Sure what do you want to know?" Seth said cheerfully

"Two things if I may.What happened to all of the animals in this province.Second how can you turn into a wolf?" I asked

"Oh those are easy! Ok so for the first one it's because of vampires.They drink animal blood instead of human blood.And for your second one its just in our genes.Now can I ask you something?" Seth said

"Of course it's only fair" I said

"Why were you on our land and why did you ask those questions?" Seth asked

"I was on your land looking for my people.They lived in this province.And I simply wanted to know why my people were suffering without the food they need. You also smelt like a wolf.You wolves smell the same.You smell like bread and blueberries." I said and turned around and began walking away.

"Where are you going?!" Seth called out

"To find those that caused my people to suffer and demand why they take more than they should" I said back and dissapeared into the night.
