Chapter 1- My life
M y name is Stella ! You ’ d probably think that I ’ m a person , but I ’ m not . I ’ m a wolf ... don ’ t freak out because I am so not like the other savages . I ’ m actually relatively weak compared to others , so I ’ m always bullied by the ‘ other wolves who think just because they ’ re bigger than me , they ’ re better than me and therefore have the right to bully me ’. You can tell from that long sentence that the ‘ other wolves ’ are very dumb . But the meanest is Catherine . Now I know the name ‘ Catherine ’ does not sound like a bully but trust me , she is . OW ! Catherine just pinched me for saying that about her , but she just proved my point . Catherine ! Cut it out ! Sorry , she doesn ’ t like the fact that I ’ m writing things about her ... Anyways , since I was part of a big ‘ herd ’, I was bullied and no one cared , except Chloe ( whom I ’ ll talk about later ) . That was my life for 9 years ... From birth to before I was attacked . I had only one friend , her name was Chloe . She was my best friend until we ’ re attacked . Now , Chloe and I , we did everything together ... We ’ d play together , we ’ d eat together , we ’ d even get bullied together as we were both weak and small .
This is how we lived our lives for 9 years : on a sunny day , we ’ d go outside and chase butterflies on a field of daisies ; on a rainy day , we ’ d build a fortress and draw pictures on the mud with sticks and stones ; on a cold day , we ’ d huddle together like frozen penguins ; on a hot day , we ’ d lie down on the field of daisies , stare up into the bright blue sky and look for incoming clouds ; on a snowy day , we ’ d stick our tongues out and see who ’ d be able to catch the most snowflakes with our tongues . But that was all before we ’ re attacked ... by wolf hunters .
Chapter 2- ‘ The Attack ’
Now you may wonder : ‘ What are wolf hunters ?’ or ‘ Why would anyone attack you ?’ or ‘ Will anyone please tell me what is going on in here ?’. But fear not readers ! For I will talk you through every single detail of how we were attacked ...
It was a cold and snowy morning , roughly 6 AM , when the hunters came ... We were all woken up from our ‘ lovely ’ wolf den by a ear-deafeningly loud BANG ! And that was only the sound of a mere little bullet shooting out of a mere little handgun ... But what you ’ re about to read is way worse …
After we ’ re all woken up from our sweet , innocent slumber of the night , the real ‘ fun ’ begins . Firstly , for a warm up to wolf shooting - arrows . Let ’ s see who can injure the most amount of wolves without killing them ! What a ‘ fun ’ exercise ! And the next thing we knew , arrows were shot … from what seemed like the ‘ heavens ’. The ‘ gods ’ must ’ ve been angered by our very existence or something . Otherwise , they wouldn ’ t have sent these mortal ‘ assassins ’ to murder our entire herd . This measly ‘ warm-up was enough to injure or kill our entire family . I stared in grave shock when the ‘ arrow rain ’ fell on our herd . Everything was chaotic . Everyone was running - except for Chloe . She was amazed by the very sight .
Ever since she could read , every time I saw her , her head was buried in a book - about humans … I don ’ t understand at all why a wolf would in their right mind ever like humans , but Chloe … She ’ s Chloe , plain old Chloe . Her biggest dream was - to make a human friend . That is something so silly that even Catherine wouldn ’ t dare to do . But I never told her . So , back to ‘ The Attack ’. While everyone was petrified by the idea that they were going to die today , or desperately trying to find shelter because they don ’ t want to end their life when they ’ re still so young , or being heroic ( which is not the best idea as it was an apocalypse for wolves ) and sacrificing their lives for others ( the wolves they were trying to protect died anyways ). But Chloe was doing her ‘ happy dance ’, running towards the humans , trying to make friends with them and saying it is the best day of her life when she is going to the wolf hunters . But those unmerciful beasts thought she was hostile and … I ’ m sorry , I just can ’ t bring myself to say it . They beat her up , stabbed her with one of those horrible arrows and left her there to bleed to death . Hey ! Catherine off my notebook ! You know this ink is permanent ! But Catherine is right , unfortunately that is what happened to Chloe , my dearest best friend whom is is in heaven as we speak .
