Chapter 9

Daniel's POV

I jumped down from the window with a light thud and shifted to my wolf. I ran very fast and disappeared into the forest. My dad would not come up to check on me if I was asleep and my mum was already tired to do so and even if she did, she would know where I went too. My wolf's vision was very clear this night and it was running very fast maybe because since the day we have connected, it just likes to be free. It ran as fast as it could exploring the forest, jumping the trees,trying different things. I could see the happiness in its face. It did not take us long before we got to Anna's hut.

I shifted back to my human self and stepped in to her house. It was dark, silent and it looks like no one was there. I tried to look for a torch to brighten the place but I could not find any. I started sniffing around to find out if someone was in there in the house but i could not smell anything. I decided no one was there and went outside. I started thinking where could she be, where did she go to?. I decided to explore the forest more since my wolf was still hitching for a run. I decided to check back where i hear footsteps from. I ran ti that place but I could not hear anything nor feel anything.

I felt something was off about the forest this night, Anna was not here, i could not feel or hear anything in this place also. I tried to connect to my wolf and communicate with it

"Can you feel anything?"i said to my wolf.

"Something is wrong, let us go back home." It said.

I could feel my wolf was scared of something. I shifted back and left the forest immediately running as fast I could. My wolf ran crazily not of the kind of exploring or been happy but of the one running for its life. I was almost out of the forest when i heard my name. I turned back and saw Anna standing at my back.

"Daniel, what are you doing here? I did not see you, are you coming in or going out." She asked

I stuttered and answered her

"I.....just came... i am on my way out... where are you? I went to your hut now but i did not meet anyone, where have you been? Are you okay?"

I walked towards her and started examining her, i could see shock written her face and she recoiled away from my touch immediately i touched her.

"What is wrong with you?"I took two steps back from her and asked her.

She looked at me and said

"I am sorry, i just returned from my friend and I have not been sleeping lately. I am sorry"

"I....."

I could see the exhaustion written on her face, she did not allow me to talk when she replied me

"He said you could join them, they will take you as part of them which means you will be one of them. This would help you know more about your powers and strengthen yourself. You will have to stay with them and go to school from their place. I have to go back now, i am so tired" she said and started walking away.

"Where do they stay and when am I to go and meet them?" I shouted

"Let us meet at the park and I will take you there, tomorrow afternoon, 3 o clock. If you would excuse me and save the other questions for tomorrow, i am really tired" she said and walked faster.

There was something about her that feels different this night. My wolf was fighting and struggling with me, to leave there immediately. I could sense it but i could not lay my finger on it. She was different everytime, either her personality or her herself. I walked away and shifted back to my wolf form leaving the forest immediately. I got home and climbed up back through my window. I closed it gently and went into the bathroom immediately. I showered and came in to lay on my bed when I sensed someone was with me in the room.

"You can come out mum, aren't you too weak to stand? Why are you not in your room?"

"Where have you been Daniel? Is everything okay?"she said as she came out from her hiding spot.

"We need to talk mum, I need you to help me on something." i said to her as she sat at the edge of my bed.

"I know what you want to say. You found a park already. Do you trust that girl? You know, i never wanted you to find a park, i was scared of the things you will do, go on a war,kill people but my fear has come to reality." She said and started sobbing.

I thought in myself, how did my mum know Anna, did i trust her? I do not trust her but I need to learn more about myself, learn to fight and stand up for myself and my mum. I hugged her from the back and told her

"You know a lot of things than me Ma which is surprising but always know No one can take me away from you. I might have to join them and stay with them but always know, you are still the best to me" I said as I hugged her.

"This is another part of you and i feel sad that you have to know it but I do not want to cage you. I am going to talk to my husband about it. You can come with us tomorrow or stay here but always know I am with you. I see all you do. Do not trust anyone. The wolf world is more dangerous than you think. Hold on to yourself. I knew this day would come but i never thought jt would be this fast." She said and started sobbing.

We stayed in silence after she talked. There was a lot going on in my mind. Things I could not lay my hands on. I looked at her and noticed she has dozed off. She snored silently as I laid her down. I laid back on the other side of the bed, trying not to wake her up. I laid wide awake for sometime before I dozed off not knowing when my mum left the room.

Tbc....
