Skylar and Oliver were best friends. They had been for the longest time. They grew up in this small and simple town. Not much happened here, they were basically in the middle of no where. They were surrounded by nature though, which she adored. They would hike often together, each time trying a new route or going deeper into the forest. They were seniors, they always had the same classes together which made it easier for them to stay close.
They didn't live around the block from each other like they wished, but they did live on the same side of their small town. Their first day back was about two weeks from today and she was thrilled. Every year it felt like something tested their friendship, to try and break them up. They got into fights, but it never kept them apart long. They hadn't been hanging out as much lately which upset her. At first Sky feared that Oliver didn't want to be her friend anymore. She needed him and the idea of him leaving her scared her.
Sky had always felt something towards him, he was different from all of the other guys and they knew each other better than they knew themselves. She never moved to try and get anything more than their friendship, she was afraid of any rejection and would rather keep him as her best friend than risk it all. As they walked they messed around and talked as they usually did. They teased and joked with each other while they walked.
Sky had a bright smile on her face as they walked through the bright green trees. She stopped confused when Oliver grabbed her arm and stopped her. She looked back at him and stopped as he told her to. "Why? What is the matter Ollie?" She asked. Her eyes scanned around them with confusion. She didn't know why he was so concerned and worried all of a sudden. Sky looked at him with a frown as he started to instruct her to start going the other way. She did as he said but didn't understand. "What is going on?" She asked, starting to get scared. If he was messing with her, she would kill him.
Sky heard a growl and her head whipped around as fear filled her eyes and her heart hammered in her chest. Hearing Oliver yell for her to duck, she got to the ground with him as a huge wolf landed in front of them. She froze as she looked up at the wolf. He was larger than any wolf she had ever seen. Sky was so in shock that she didn't even hear Oliver yelling at her. She only felt him pulling her up to her feet and she immediately started to run with him. She grabbed onto his hand in fear, not wanting to lose him.
Sky looked back to see now multiple wolves coming after them. They were almost the size of bears. They were extremely fast and catching up to them which made her push harder to run. She looked ahead but one had grabbed her leg and pulled her back. She was pulled from Oliver's hand and she was on the ground. A huge white wolf with piercing blue eyes started down at her ready to take her throats as he growled. "Ollie!" Sky screamed in terror. She felt a hot liquid on her leg slowly flowing down, she couldn't feel the pain that she should feel though. As he snarled and went down to grab her neck she screeched and closed her eyes.
Sky felt the hot breath from the wolf disappear and she looked up to see Oliver with a large stick. Tears had been rolling down her face and she didn't even realize it, they didn't seem to stop either. She quickly got up, even with her injured leg, and started to run but she got a few feet away and fell. Sky yelled in pain from her leg and turned to try and find where Oliver was, since he wasn't right next to her. She looked up to see another wolf lunging at her, she couldn't even scream out or look away.
Sky looked to Ollie who was behind the wolf, only to see him lunge for it. Her eyes were wide and her heart felt like it stopped as she witnessed something that she had only seen in movies. Ollie's bones started to break and crack as his clothes ripped from his body as he grew in size. His dirt blonde hair now covered his entire body and he was just like the other wolves now. Sky moved back a foot to have her back hit a tree trunk and she watched as what was once her best friend Oliver, now wolf, attack the wolf that had tried to also kill her. He then moved to stand in front of her in a protective stance.
Sky was losing a lot of blood from the huge claw marks that were carved into her leg and fear was making her heart race faster than it should. She couldn't take it any longer, she felt her body go limp and she completely blacked out, no longer conscious. Sky didn't know what she saw, she was terrified even when she wasn't conscious. She didn't know if she was going to die or not, they hadn't even started their senior year yet.
