Afraid Of It All

(It all started when I was a little girl...

“Charlotte Hun! Just stop being fearless for one moment! Wolves are not to be messed with! Especially if their at the border!” I heard my father call out after me, but I didn’t listen. I ran with the wind blowing through each strand of my hair, I was laughing, but when I got to the border, A large black male wolf was right there. I thought it was the end of me. He approached me, every step he took, I did same, until I backed into a tree. I passed out in fear and woke up in my fathers arms, safe at home. Something changed that day...I launched out of his arms fearfully, and it’s been 10 years, I’m untouchable, If touched...Lets just say it’s not good.) I wrote in my journal at home. “This isn’t a bad story to send out, but since it’s true, something’s telling me I shouldn’t bother showing anyone.” I’d mumble to myself. I grabbed my journal, Grabbing the key from behind my favourite picture on the wall, locked the journal, and placed them both behind the picture. I turned my lights off, tucked myself, and let the dream world take over...

Running, I was running in the woods, not daring to look back, that black wolf was chasing me. Why? At some point I tripped over a branch. I yelped in pain. The wolf growled at me, he looked at the open wound, instead of growling at me, he growled at the twig? He approached me and softly licked the wound. He cuddled his body against mine, and protected me all through the night. I awoke in the hands of my father, My body felt as if it were on fire. It felt like I was laying in fire while people were stabbing me with sharp blades. I’d scream. “Charlotte!” I heard my voice.

“Charlotte!” The voice changed into my mother’s, I was covered in cold sweat. “My poor Little Deer, Are you Okay? You were screaming...” She’d whisper softly, but she knew not to touch me, so I nodded a ‘thank you’ as she tucked me in, and whispered goodnight.
