“I didn’t bring her she chose to come” I left the classroom and the others in the classroom and made my way to second period.

Jim throughout the day was given constant looks of distrust and the faculty and SRO continued to bother him about Silva. When Jim walked into 5th Period which was Earth Science Ms. Lyons didn’t bug him about Silva in fact she rather liked having her in the class. After school was over Ms. Lyons called him to the front of the class and asked him what the wolf’s name was he said “Silva” she looked at Silva as she approached it Silva let her pat her head.

Jim walked out of the classroom and was confronted by Bobby he noticed he had a wad of bandages on his nose from where he had punched him. He says “Look what you did you idiot I am going to kick your….” he stopped talking as he saw Silva behind him she started to growl saying “is this that Bobby kid” he nodded. Bobby looked at her and turned and ran down the hall way and disappeared, I looked at Silva and said “let’s go home” she shook her head and followed me out to the buses.

Part 5 Jim Runs Away

Jim’s escapade at his school was all over the news and in the local newspaper. Day by day reporters would come to his house looking to talk to him or get pictures of Silva. Jims parents were angry with him at first because he didn’t tell them he had kept a wolf in the house but they grew used to having Silva around, one day someone tossed a brick through the bay window and on it was written a note saying “give the wolf up and move out of town wolf lovers” Jim took the note and threw it away.

Jim sat in the basement with Silva and all of a sudden a crash came from the upstairs Silva says “what was that” he shrugged his shoulders and walked upstairs with Silva close behind. As he opened the door he saw nothing but darkness but when he turned on the light he found the backdoor broken and open to the outside. Silva says “I smell someone” just as she said that a shot rang out Jim watched in horror as Silva fell to the ground, he looked and saw that she had been shot through the shoulder he turned and saw a man dressed in black with a ski mask over his face. Jim charged at him and rammed his head into the man’s gut as he went falling over the couch, Jim reached down and grabbed the gun and threw it out the window. The man lay sprawled unconscious on the floor, Jim called the police they arrived immediately and took the man and his gun away. Jim made his way over to Silva who lay whimpering on the floor bleeding profusely, Jim said “hang on Silva” he ran into the bathroom and got the first aid kit and wrapped her wound up tightly. She looked at him and said “I was foolish to get shot” he shook his head no and said “you were brave” he picked her up and said “can you walk” she shook her head no. He walked into his bedroom and placed her gently onto the bed and she watched him pack his things into his back pack and he then put some bandages and food into it, he then picked her up and she says “where are we going” he says “away from here where people cannot hurt you anymore” he walked out the back door and into the forest.

Part 6 Wilderness

Two days had passed since Jim and Silva left their home and made their way into the vast forest. Since then Jim had eaten all of the food and now Silva had to hunt for them, her wound had gotten much better and she was able to move around. Jim sat in in a hollow of a tree as he waited for Silva she had been gone for 3 hours and he was beginning to grow worried. Just then he saw here dragging a deer carcass towards him, she dropped it in front of him and says “well dig in” Jim pulls out a knife and cuts a piece of meat off and eats it raw he feels like he is going to up chuck.

She looked at him and cocked her head saying “what’s wrong” he replies saying “I usually have things cooked when I eat” she looks away as if she is hurt by his comment he sees this and says ‘I can eat it this way don’t worry thanks for the food” she looks back and says “your welcome” he closes his eyes and falls to sleep. That night Silva awoke and found Jim shaking violently from the lack of heat, she wraps her body around him. He snuggles closely to her and she thinks “he is like a wolf pup” he lies there quietly and stops shaking because of the cold.

Early the next morning Silva woke up and found her fur was completely drenched in sweat, she looked at Jim and nuzzled him he was very warm and feverish. She says “Jim wake up” she nuzzles him frantically as she tries to get him awake she says “I have to get help” she left Jim in the hollow of the tree and ran through the woods to where she smelled humans. Silva hides behind a tree and sees a group of four men and a women shouting Jim’s name all of the men have guns. Silva walks out from behind the tree and looks at them, one of the humans sees her and raises his gun and says “hey there is that wolf that Jim was with” everyone else turns and looks at her. Silva whimpers and points her body in the direction that Jim is in, the human stand there confused as Silva approaches a shot rings out the bullet passes through Silva’s chest she stops in her tracks and winces.

Silva turns from the humans and looks back at them she walks back to Jim; one of the men says “she wants us to follow her” Silva limps her way back to Jim her heartbeat pounds in her ears her vision is starting to blur. When she reaches Jim she collapses onto the ground her heartbeat slows she thinks “so I am to die” she hears the humans coming up from behind her and then her vision fades and is black.

Jim wakes up in a hospital sometime later he is surrounded by his family and a few of his teachers they tell him what had happened to Silva and how he is in the hospital. He says “where is Silva now” his mother looks at him and says “at the vets but she is in very rough shape” Jim was released from the hospital his parents drove him to the vets where Jim immediately made his way to Silva’s room. He saw that she was hooked up to a heart monitor and she had many IV’s implanted on her body , he says “Silva can you hear me” she opens her eyes and looks at him saying “yes” he smiles and says “thanks for saving me” she nods and closes her eyes the heart monitor goes flat line Jim looks at Silva and says “don’t go” the veterinarians rush into the room and put a deliberator on her muzzle and start to work it, another one watches the heart monitor and watches short spikes appear on it. When they see the heart monitor flat line again they prepare an adrenaline shot, a vet stabs Silva’s chest and squeezes the plunger Silva gasps and coughs the her heart rate picks up.

Afterwards Silva rests at the vets for a few days and is allowed to leave Jim’s family is given a license to own her legally and their property is fenced off so no one gets in. Jim and Silva live happily for the rest of their days and no one ever bothers them again.

Wolf In The Woods

Part 1 Memories Return



Jim sat on the edge of his bed rubbing the sleep from his eyes. In the corner of the room lay Silva cured in her basket. Her sides rose and fell with her breathing; her fangs were bared in a snarl as she chased prey in her dreams. He gets up from the bed and opens the door with a squeak thinking "I need to have my father oil the hinges" behind him Silva stirs from her slumber.

She looks up at him with her yellow eyes and says "where are you going" he turns and looks down at her replying "just going for some breakfast want anything." She thinks about and and says "you got anymore moose meat from your hunt last week" he says "yeah it is in the back of the fridge." She lays her velvet paws and waits. The cold air from it causes him to shiver alittle.  He pulls out the various items out of the fridge until he finds what he is looking for. The meat is on a plate wrapped in plastic wrap, he places the plate into the microwave and presses the cook time for a two minutes. While he waits for the meat to warm up he opens the pantry then takes down a box of Coco Puff cereal. He pours himself a bowl of it and then pours the milk. Behind him the microwave beeps to a stop, he takes out the sizzling meat and places it on the countertop. He hears Silva's claws clacking on the tile flooring behind him as she comes into the kitchen. She says to him "that smells so good" her tongue hangs out as she pants in hunger. He places the plate in front of Silva who is overcome with a bloodlust she tears into the meat. Jim quietly walks over to the table and quietly eats his Coco Puffs.

Jim’s mother walks into the kitchen her hair is messy and jets out in all directions. Jim smirks at her as she prepares herself a cup of coffee. Silva finishes eating and looks at Jim saying "you done" he nods and says” I am going to go take a shower" Silva says "ok I will wait for you." While Jim is in the shower, Silva curls on the couch next to Jim's father who is reading the morning newspaper and waiting for his wife to give him some breakfast. The door to the bathroom opens and steam pours out. Jim walks into his room towel around his waist and pulls on fresh clothing. He pulls on a pair of worn and faded jeans followed by a black zip up hoodie. He then laces up his navy blue converse high tops and walks into the living room.
