I could feel the ground beneath my feet moving at a hundred miles an hour. Trees rushed by me at intense speeds. I felt the longing to run as far as the earth would let me, and i i could do it without getting tired in the least bit. Smells i couldn't put an image too flooded my nose,smells i had never smelled before.
I smiled as the wind brushed back my hair, and then when i reached the stream near our village, i stopped and took a drink. I looked to the sky, and saw it was just about dawn. My favorite time of day. I got back up onto my feet, and then looked into the water. I searched for my face, but all i saw was the face of a giant Wolf the size of a horse. I jumped around, and saw nothing was behind me, or even near me. I looked back at the water, and realized the wolf was me...
I sat up straight in bed, the clock blinked 8:30 AM. I groaned and then brought my feet to the floor. These dreams kept me in a restless sleep, almost every night. And though i was sleeping, i always awoke exhausted.
I walked out of my room, and down the hall to the kitchen, where my mother was standing. She looked at me, and then her eyes widened.
"Lakota! It's as if you have grown over night!" She said and then gasped.
I turned to the mirror and noticed that indeed, i had grown maybe another few inches, and that yes my stomach mustles were 10 times more profound as were my leg and arm mustles. I rolled my eyes and kissed her cheek.
I walked out of the house and down the the open water behind our house. The cool Canada coast breeze brushed against my bare chest, and gave me the chills. My short black hair moved with the wind, though it was only a few inches long.
I watched the waves break along the shore, and then turned back towards our house. It was hidden in trees, and a shor tlittle path brought you to a dirt road to the village if you followed it. I loved my home. It was all i ever knew, and it was all i would ever know.
I turned when i saw my grandfather standing next to me. I hated when he did that. He had this way of appearing out of no where. He smiled, noting that i was annoyed.
"Ah Kota... You have much to learn" He said with another smile.
"Like what grandfather... I know your tricks, i know the village like the back of my hand. I'm ready for anything..." I said and looked at him.
"You have much more to learn then just that. You'll no in time little one... You'll know" He said, and then i heard him laugh. As i turned to him, he was gone... Again! I grumbled and then through the closest rock towards the water.
The rock flew over the water, and made a slpash when it landed. My eyes widened when i noticed how far the rock flew. It went a food 2 football fields, if not more. I smiled and then threw another, and another.
My hands stopped short in midair, and i sniffed the air. I could smell everything stronger. And then there was a purtid smell. It smelt like death. Death... and blood. I could feel my back trembling, and i made a choking noise i inhaled it stronger.
My legs carried me faster then before, to our house, and there sat my grandfather, a worried exression on his face.
"What?! What is it Young one!" He demanded.
"That smell! What! What is it!" I yelled. his face twisted when he stepped outside and smelled it too.
"They have returned... The transformation is almost complete." He mumbled.
"What are you talking about?!" I demanded.
"Come Lakota! I must show you something... I must prepare you!" He said and then grabbed me by the arm with a surprising force, and we both ran to the another room in the house.
As i ran with him, i couldn't help but think "what in the world is going on with me?!"
