<span style="font-style: italic">The whimpers, the pleas, the cry for help. All of it scarred her memory as the lone wolf screamed out in mind speech, and made tortured agonized sounds as her pack continued to bite and tear him apart. There was no way for her to shut him out.<br/><br/>"Don't turn away, your father wants you to watch," her mother spoke calmly in mind speech as she used her muzzle to nudge Liann to face the now dead wolf and its corpse. As much as she wished for the wolf to stop yelling, the silence was much worst.<br/><br/>A gunshot caused Liann to jump. She turned towards the sound and saw a human hunter stand over another wolf, the wolf was her cousin who faced the hunter as she hid in the bushes. The hunter looked around. Liann lowered to the ground, holding her breath and kept even a small whimper from escaping her. She's never seen anything more frightening. Unable to find anything else, the hunter hitched her dead cousin on his back and walked off. Liann ran across the snow back to her families den and slept close to her mother that night.<br/><br/>"Liann. . ? Liann, wake up," her mother called out in panic. "Why are you in human form, you'll freeze to death like that, change back now."<br/><br/>"I. . .I don't know how mommy," a young Liann said confused.<br/><br/>"I said change now!" Her mother cried in frustration a now older Liann, who had her hands over her ears to block out her mothers angered words.<br/><br/>Anger seeming to heat her as well, Liann dropped her hands from her ears and yelled back, "Stop making me do something I can't! Face it! I never changed and I never will!"<br/><br/>"I'm disappointed in you Liann," a deep voice rumbled next to her.<br/><br/>Liann turned to find a wolf of deep red, scars decorating his face and on his muzzle. An ugly growl rumbled in his chest as he bared his teeth at her.<br/><br/>"Dad, STOP!!" Liann screeched as the wolf lunged for her.</span><br/><br/>- - - - -<br/><br/>"AHH!" Liann yelled out as she sat up. She struggled to control her breathing as she looked around her tent to find her parents now where in sight.<br/><br/>Wiping her cheek and her forehead, she found that she was not only sweating but crying as well. She was still in a panic to get frustrated over her tears and she instead rested her forehead against her knees and started to rock herself.
