MARIA
A girl named Maria was a cute and a clever girl. She was also beautiful. She was a student and a researcher. She was searching about scary topics. She was in love with a famous researcher. But, that researcher was older than Maria. And one boy, maybe it could be better to say a wolf was in love with her, too. But she didn’ t know that. She was only thinking about her research.
A boy named Jack was a handsome but a bad boy. He was not actually a boy; he was a wolf. He was a very bad wolf. He was a very bad boy and wolf. He had the ability to be a human or a wolf whenever he wanted. He had the ability like some other wolf boys. And he was in love with our character beautiful Maria. But Maria didn’ t know that. Wolves were a famous research topic and researchers were searching about wolves a lot. Maria was researching about wolves too. Wolves were her favorite research topic.
It was Jack’ s first day at school. He was looking for a friend. He was also looking for Maria. Finally, he saw Maria. Jack was very excited. There were boys next to Jack. But they were not talking to him. They were talking with each other. Jack was thinking how he could go and talk to Maria. Maria was talking to no one. She was just reading a book. Jack slowly walked towards her. He was very afraid. He was going to talk to Maria. Jack was looking up things about Maria before he came to school that year. He was searching about Maria’ s life, Maria’ s family, Maria’ s hobbies... Everything about Maria. Jack started to talk with Maria. Maria was very clever so she didn’ t talk much with Jack because she was meeting him for the first time. They did go to class together.
Jack talked with Maria. But Maria didn’ t talk to him. Class started. Jack was sitting next to Maria. Maria closed her book and started to look around. When she started to talk with him; she started to talk about the research that she has done. Then she started to talk about wolves.
At that moment, Jack was afraid. He knew a lot of things about wolves. That was very normal because he was also a wolf. It was his choice to be a wolf or a boy. Jack and Maria talked about wolves during that first lesson. Every year’ s first lessons were used for meeting each other. Jack and Maria did that. They talked about wolves. Jack was very happy. He talked with Maria. Maria liked Jack. She thought they could be good friends.
Every day they talked about wolves and some other topics. Maria’ s grades started going down. She was only thinking about wolves and Jack. Jack knew a lot of things about wolves. Maria was researching a lot. She was not studying. She was only searching. Only searching about wolves. She was also not looking after herself.
She became dirty. She was not sleeping because of her research. Jack was the same. He was also dirty and he was also not sleeping. They were searching things together. They were not sleeping, just searching day and night. One day they wanted to go and see these wolves closer, but Jack didn’ t want that, because he could be a wolf whenever he wanted. He was afraid of that, and that he might turn into one.
At this point, Maria was not beautiful or cute, or clever anymore. She was ugly, she was dirty, and she wore the same clothes every day. Eventually, Maria convinced Jake to go and they went to a jungle. They entered it. Jack and Maria walked slowly together. Wolves were there. Jack saw a wolf. Not just one. He saw many wolves. And then his fear came true, he accidentally became a wolf in front of Maria. She was surprised and also afraid. Jack ran away. Maria was now all alone. One wolf came from behind Maria and bit her. Maria was transformed into a wolf. A wolf girl.
Jack found Maria. She was a wolf at that moment. Jack was not sure if she will turn back into a human or not. But she again became a human. But she was going to be a wolf girl until the end of her life. Like Jack. Maria couldn’ t be the same Maria anymore. She was ugly, bad, and wolf. She couldn’ t just go back and be the same Maria she was before.
She was very angry at Jack because he had changed Maria’ s life. This was a bad change, too. From that point forward Maria and Jack didn’ t go to school anymore. They were still doing research, but not about wolves. Instead, they were doing research on humans, which they wanted to be again.
