The Shocking Discovery

The Shocking Discovery

Sophia was always told by her mother what her name meant. Sophia means she who possesses great knowledge and wisdom. Sophia’s mother, Agapi believed that her little girl could help the world in many special ways.

But, one fateful day when Sophia was going back to her house on the edge of Sherwood Forest from her second year of high school when she saw her mother dead on the porch with multiple stab wounds in her. Agapi was deathly pale but with Sophia being a very intelligent and bright girl, knew without a doubt that her mother was dead. She, being a mother’s girl, ran up to her poor mother and saw a red, sticky note lodged right where her mother’s heart was supposed to be.

She went out to the backyard to find her father. He always “works” out there. When she went out to the backyard she saw a wolf pacing and sniffing the length of the backyard. The hazelnut brown wolf with splatters of dark red blood had the color of her dad’s eyes. In a blink of an eye with cracking bones, it turned into her father. She started to back up slowly because if her suspicions were correct, her father would have killed her mother. Her father, always knowing what his princess was thinking, quickly ran up to her with his hands up, quickly corrected her thinking, and said, “I didn’t kill your mother, I was trying to defend her against rogues!” with tears running down his angry face. Sophia knew her dad loved her mother more than anything in the world believed him.

Sophia asked her father, "Can I track down the murderers?" In reply he said, "It’s too dangerous Sophia. I don’t want to lose someone else that means a lot to me." Sophia, knew that her father was right, but she wanted to avenge her mother’s young death. While Sophia’s father was talking about werewolves and their very handsome king, him, she decided two years later, when she got out of high school, she would go and find the rouge werewolves.
