A soft touch and the light brush of fur barely registered in Selena's mind as she rested against a tree in the forest.<span style="font-style: italic">"The forest"</span>she thought dully as she started to slip back into unconsciousness.....<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Bloody teeth<br/>Bone chilling howl<br/>A womans scream<br/>A wolf with hate filled eyes..</span><br/><br/>Selena jolted awake; her hands instantly covering her eyes as her body shook, "Dammit when will it stop?" She mummbled in a broken voice as she started to calm back down. With a sigh she leaned back against the tree feeling the nice soft bark......<span style="font-style: italic">soft bark?</span>She instantly froze as her hand ran over soft fur. She looked down in a mixture of confusion and fear at a tail that was wrapped around her. Following the tail with her eyes she soon saw what it was connected to; a wolf. A rather large one at that; and he was looking right at her. The confusion was no longer in her eyes, now all that was there was pure fear.<br/><br/>She got up quickly and backed away until she bumped into a tree which made her let out a small sound of fear. She looked over the wolf not knowing what to do now, some of her fear left her when she realized it wasn't the black wolf that she had been running from for 3 years, but a brown one. It was still a wolf and she didn't know how to make herself shift to protect herself at all. She looked around until she saw a large stick; about the size of a baseball bat; and lunged for it. She turned around quickly with her new<span style="font-style: italic">weapon</span>in hand to face the wolf.<br/><br/>Her heart pounded as she tried to think of what to do.<span style="font-style: italic">Should she yell at it? Would that make it attack her?  </span>Her body shook and she knew that soon her adreline rush would wear off and she wouldn't have to strength to do anything.<br/><br/>The only question that kept repeating itself in her head now was, "<span style="font-style: italic">Was she going to die?"</span>
