The Kidnapping
By Snow that Shimmers in the Night ( soon to be Midnight Ride)
I’m running but I don’t know where I’m going. I just escaped from the Ravens; men who kidnapped me eleven month ago. There were many other humans that had been captured at the laboratory. The Ravens wanted to mix our DNA with that of animals, but the trials went completely wrong. A lot of us didn’t make it through the tests, and the others mysteriously disappeared. I’m the only product of the experiments left, and I have extraordinary powers. Powers they gave me. I hate them.
I was a normal person before they kidnapped me. I was a junior at
Suddenly something rope-like gets tangled around one of my feet and I feel myself falling forward. My face smacks the hard ground and I can’t get up. I can smell other wolves, and I can only hope they’re friendly. I have heard stories before of animals eating their own kind when they have been injured and my mind begins to race. Everything goes black.
When I awaken, I’m warm and my stomach is growling. I lift my head to look around and I see a pair of wolf’s eyes looking at me. I realize after a second that I am still in wolf form. Once I realize that I am unharmed, except for a throbbing ankle, a wave of relief rushed over me. I ask him where I am. He says he is with the Northern lights pack and he won’t hurt me if I answer some questions.
I say I will I can only hope that they are not hard questions. He has the dominant male and female come in they tell him to go way and they sit down. I’m wondering what to do when they ask me if I can sit up. I say I’ll try and some how mange to get up, and then the first thing they say is they know I’m not really a wolf! I say “your right I’m not but please don’t hurt me!” The female asks what I am and I have to tell her I say” I’m human.” I change into a human to show her I’m not lying then back to wolf. And they look at me like I’m a freak. And I hang my head in shame. And I say “I know my freak please don’t make that more obvious!” I’m crying now. Thin the one wolf comes running in the one that was watching me and the dominant male says” Peter what’s wrong?” “You’re not a freak!” he says. And I look at him and I realize something this wolf likes me a lot. I look at him stunned. The dominant male yells at Peter “you were listening went you?” “You know that’s against the rules!” “Dear” the dominant female says I think we know why he listened and that’s not something that can be controlled” “Yes, well if he still going be in trouble!” he says. Peter looks down and leaves the cave. Now the dominant female says what is your name? I tell her do you want the human or wolf name? She replies wolf. And I say just call me snow. OK snow she said one of my most favorite suns has just fallen in love with you . I look at her not knowing what to think. Then she says you’re very lucky. I was beginning to wonder if this would ever happen. But why did the half to be you? She sighed. They tell me that I can stay for as long as I need to.
Two months later I’m still here Peter and me we’re friends but I know he wants to be more than that and starting to think now that I do too. One night I go tell Peter to come howl with me and he says OK. We race into the night on top of hill. And I decide to show him something I decide to grow wings and start flying. He looks at me in shock and I go down to him and turn into a human I’m dressed in all white and I touch his face close my eyes and lean ageist him and when I open my eyes again I’m not leaning against a wolf I’m leaning against a human. He had the darkest black hair, piercing blue eyes, he is tall, and is dressed in all Black, if and handsome and every definition of the word I look at him and a smile and then I frown what have I done I whisper. And he says nothing, nothing at all and then he leans forward his had on my face his voice is like velvet, water rushing over a waterfall it’s so beautiful I lean forward are lips meat. He has wings there the most beautiful things I have ever seen, my white wings enfold in his black ones. It starts to snow and we sit there and whach the northern lights as they flash across the sky. I know I should lave but I just don’t think I can because if I did it would mean leaving him if he did not want to come.
Just as I was thinking that it happened. We were sitting there watching the lights and a tranquillizer dart wiped past us. I screamed as one hit me in the arm. I knew that it would only be a mater of time before Peter got hit too. He picked me up and I tried to tell him to leave me but he would not listen. He stared to run toured the woods I was starting to black out when he stopped someone was blocking our path I tried to stand but I collapsed all most as soon as my feet touched the ground. Peter picked me up and I realized we were sounded there was no way for escape. The one that had stopped Peter was speaking I could recognize his voice anywhere. It was the one that I called Gemini. It was hard to make out of what they were saying. This is what I heard. So I finally have you Snow ha ha ha ha ha! And look you brought a friend! Peter is it? Well I can’t what to get you under a microscope! Leave him alone! It’s so hard to talk. But I have to. Well looks like sleeping beauty’s finally awake says Gemini. I never was asleep I reply with a harsh tone. Well then let’s get some more tranquilizing darts in you two! That must have been the signal for the men around is to fire because I got shot about another 15 times and Peter got shot about another 20 times. The world for both of us went black.
