"Well you could try going to the pooleth."
"Pooleth?"

Mallory's POV
My eyes widened as I looked straight into the wolf's pitch black eyes. And it wasn't like I had the slight comfort of knowing it was Xavier. Oh no, it wasn't him. My wolf would have been screeching with joy if the wolf had been him.
Part of me is relieved that it's not Xavier who had come to drag me back to prison. But, that might have been better than this unknown...rouge? Lets go with that.
I knew the wolf wouldn't shift, he's smarter than that. One, I would know who he is. And two....ahh, lets pretend there's a second reason.
The wolf grabs me by the leg, it's sharp canines digging into my flesh.
Owe.
My teeth grind together as I try to prevent myself from screaming. No alerting the pack. The wolf drags me away, my body getting scraped and bruised. Crapes! My hair got stuck on a tree root that was awkwardly poking out of the ground. My captor growled, obviously annoyed by my hair being eaten by a plant.
He,well I'm assuming it's a he, let go of my leg and stalked toward my hair. He's gonna cut it!
"NO!" I yelled out. He froze, surprised by my outburst. "I'll get my hair out of this...hair eating plant. Just gimme a second. No cutting my hair! Do you know how long this took me to grow! Like...2 years! Maybe 3! My hair is a VERY slow grower. It's my baby! Well besides..." I trail off, thinking of Cole. Tears welled up in my eyes as I thought about him. My hands continued to untie my hair as sobs racked my body. I miss Cole so much. It had only been like 5 hours but I already felt regret. It's for the best. The new family will protect him, right? I ask my wolf.
No response. She's either REALLY mad at me or she's so weak the connection isn't working. I hope it's the first one, a weak wolf isn't very helpful.
I turn back to the wolf and wipe my tears away. "Do you know what it's like? Leaving behind what means most to you, so it's protected?" I snort. "Of course not." The wolf flops down onto it's stomach, and nods it's head.
"Wait...you do? How? Who, or what did you leave behind?! Wait! First, who are you?" The wolf huffed, as if to say I asked too many questions. "Geez sorry. I was just wondering. You can continue dragging me while I try not to scream in pain, I finished freeing my hair from the hair killer."
The wolf huffed again, stood up, and went behind a tree. A few moments later, a man walked out, with baggy shorts.
Well, I was right on the man part.
"My name's Jake." His deep voice thundered, and I winced. He reminded me of Xavier.
"So....has the dragging stopped or.." I trail off, why in the world would he just stop?
"You wanted answers didn't you?"

Oops! I might have given you a little tiny cliffy. Tee hee :D
Sooooooooo I'm volunteering at Safety Town this week, it's for kids about to go into kindergarten to learn how to be safe. Like fire safety, stranger danger, boat safety, stuff like that. Ya know, the things your parents drill into your head when you're 3. Well, I help teach the adorable munchkins every year, so I can't update as much this week, but I WILL write during lunch break, so something might be up Wednesday.
Okay, so the song in the side (or the top for all them amazing phone readers) is my FAVORITE song at the moment! What do you think it's about? I'll tell you in the next chapter ;)
Love you guys!!!!
