James Holt's Story

Elizabeth woke from her nightmare. Sweat dripped down her forehead; her sheets were drenched in her sweat. She pulled the sheets back and then slid off of her bed. She made her way to the window and opened it. Out of her window she could see a boy staring at her house, this boy wasn’t normal he was a ghost. This wasn’t new for her, ghost liked to roam around and she would see a few often.

She looked at the boy for a while and then looked away; she walked over to Rose and picked her up. Rose meowed and snuggled up to Elizabeth. She made her way to the bath room and set Rose on the counter. Rose sat there looking up at Elizabeth as she splashed her face with water. Elizabeth sighed as she walked out of the bathroom. She fell into her bed; it was wet so she felt uncomfortable. She laid there for a while, trying to go to sleep. Sleep didn’t come easy, but when she finally slept it was as if she was dead to the world.

James was breathing heavy, blood trickled down the fur on his right front leg. He growled at the other wolf before him. The wolf jumped and James responded by jumping back, they collided and then fell to the ground. They slid on the muddy ground; James rolled over and then got to his feet. He then watched as the other wolf began to transform back into a human. James did the same, he gripped his right arm there was a wound, but it wasn’t deep. James looked at the man before him and said “That was a good fight, dad.” His father smiled and said “You have gotten stronger; you will make a great pack leader one day.” James smiled and then began walking toward civilization. As he walked he caught the scent of someone, he didn’t recognize this scent so he went to go check. When he got close, he slowed down as if he was stalking the person. He didn’t want whoever it was to sense his presence; he got close and saw that it was a girl. She had a nice smell, he stood there watching her and he then started to walk away. However, he looked back at her for a second and a part of him wanted her to see him.
