Wrote this to 'Love is not enough' by Wet. Seriously recommend listening to while reading if you can.

The brightest light I'd ever seen spread across the trees that surrounded us, eating everything in its path as if it were alive and starving; as if it were seeking revenge and willing to destroy everything in its path, setting everything it touched aflame as well.

The screams of many was the only sound that filled my ears- the cries of those who hurt, and the growls of our attackers. I could hear my wolf begging me to move, to do something- anything, but I was frozen in my place. My legs wouldn't move, my body only shaking in it's place as tears streamed down my face.

Instead, I sink down to my knees, a loud scream escaping my lips only adding to the the others. I gripped her hand tightly. I shake her a little but she doesn't move. I keep shaking her, only causing me to sob harder.

"Mama!" I scream desperately, crying for her to look at me instead of straight up at the sky. Was she ignoring me, like she did when i did something bad? She wasn't moving and her blood was now wetting my knees as it spread beneath her body. "M-Mama!" I cry even louder. I let go of her hand. Maybe I could push the blood back into her- Papa told me it wasn't good to lose too much. But my hands were too small and it just poured past me.

"Ma.." I whimper as I look at my red hands, shaking as the blood dripped down onto her favourite shirt.

The sound of something cracking and breaking fills the air, causing me to look up. A bad wolf was biting on someone's arm, and they were screaming, and fighting back but another bad wolf got them. They bite and pull at the lady until they split her in two, her blood jumping in the air before falling down like rain.

My eyes wouldn't move from them. They were still biting on her but she wasn't screaming anymore. They began chewing and a small cry escaped my lips making their red eyes look to me.

They let the lady go and start walking towards me. What should I do? I look at mama for help but she still wasn't paying attention to me. I press my head to her chest, squeezing her hand tightly as I pray to the Moon Goddess that she would squeeze back, like she always did when I was scared.

"Levi!" I hear papa shout. I look up tearily, rubbing my eyes to see him better. He was running to me, the bad wolves now on the ground and not moving anymore.

He crashes down beside me, his body freezing once he looks at mama. He doesn't move or talk anymore, and like me he becomes still, only tears and soft cries escaping him.

"Caroline." He whispers shakily as his trembling fingers rub her cheek. "N-No... no.." He cries taking her face in his hands. Her eyes don't move but she's staring at him now. "No!" Papa screams as I hold onto her hand tightly, crying next to him.

Papa leans down and presses his lips to her's like they did every morning, but she didn't press back. He releases another cry before pulling her face to his chest. After a while, he puts her down carefully and releases a breath. Papa passes his hand over her eyes and they close.

"Mama..." I cry, feeling a heavy pain form in my chest. It made it hard to breathe- to move.

"We need to go Levi." Papa says as he pulls himself to his feet before taking my hand away from mama's. I cry as I try to reach for her but he doesn't let me as he turns me away from her.
