Chapter 5

The voice.. over and over.. “I want her alive.” It was Shadow’s voice.. and she couldn’t help but wonder if he still was a direwolf. The female climbed the bridge with her expert claws and peeked over. Shadow was there. She almost screamed in horror.

His eyes were bloodshot red, his black fur ruffled. He had sharp fangs, long claws, and an evil smile. His fur had droplets of blood on it, and she knew it wasn’t his.

Still peeking over the edge, she wondered if he was real..

“Shadow..” she whispered, like a ghost. But he sharply turned and headed for her.

“AAAAAAAAAH!!!” She screamed. But then the female looked around. She was under the bridge. What was that? Shadow hadn’t really been there.. could he have? Was that a dream.. or..

She shook her head. -It was probably just me having a nightmare- she huffed. The female got up and started trotting over to take a drink of water.

But then, she noticed something. The female knew her paws had gotten slightly bigger, but now, she could tell she was the size of a direwolf. The female had claws similar to a direwolf’s, and a bushy tail. Her fur was a mix of brown and white. -Huh- she thought to herself. -Maybe I’m as fast as one..-

She turned sharply and started sprinting. She felt the wind in her fur and every bound was farther than the other. She swerved through forests and soared over rocks. Finally, about 30 minutes later, she stopped.

The female panted and now realized she was extremely hungry. She had never hunted alone. With a sigh, she walked to nearby water, took a drink, and then dived in. The female shivered a bit but got used to the cold. She swam lower and snapped her jaws at a lone sabertooth salmon. The female had missed but hit it on the second try. She began dragging it to shore as she felt jaws grab her back legs.

“Aarrrghhh!” She yelled. The female kicked her back legs but that seemed to attract more jaws. PIRANHAS! She swerved around and bit a piranha. It swam away, but more came. Chomping at her feet and tail and her back. She groaned. “Air..” she said. “I.. need.. air..”

The female woke up. She blinked a few times. She was dry. “Huh..” the female whispered and looked around until she saw a male direwolf near her. He was a reddish orange direwolf, looking like a giant fox (fun fact, I have an orange direwolf). He was very handsome and muscular.

The female stopped looking at him and looked over at the open sea. She peered down and saw piranhas and then her reflection.

Her fur was white as the snow and she had glimmering blue eyes. She was certainly a direwolf. The female even looked at her tail and back legs and saw them fully healed. Suddenly, she flicked her ear. “Finally awake, are you?” Said a voice. The male direwolf.

His voice was deep and kind. She turned, curling her long bushy tail by her side. He stood tall. “What do you mean?” The female replied.

“You were unconscious for 2 days,” he answered.

“Oh..” she said.

“My name’s Prince,” the male said. Then, with a curious voice, he asked, “What’s your name?”

The female lowered her tail. “I don’t have one..”

“Well, let’s get you one.” He simply replied.

The female was confused. She expected him to ask why. “Ok,” she said.

“Ooh!” He said. “I know.”

“What is it?” The female asked, very curiously..

Hey all! DiploLover here! If you have a good name for a white direwolf with blue eyes, please say something in achatina like: Creatures of Nightmares, the female’s name should be ______. Also, chapter six will be in direwolf. Thanks! 😁
