Chapter 2 - 2. Awakened

**Snap** I suddenly woke up to hearing sticks snapping under someones feet while standing close to my *front door*. What in the world could anyone be doing out this far in the middle of the night is very confusing to me. Its not like im in some random neighborhood or anything im in the middle of the freaking woods for crying out loud. What could anybody besides me be doing out here anyways? The only thing i can come up with is the cops have finally tracked me down an ate now gonna force me to go back into the system. Well thats not gonna happen if I can help it. So i decided to try an make a break for it once the unknown person comes out of the tunnel. According to my watch it was currently 11:55 pm, just my minutes until July 18th my 10th birthday, their is no way im beimg caught an hauled away on my birthday. Nope no way.
About a minute after i heard the first snap I saw a black shadowy form slowly come out of the tunnel. I quickly crouched down out of sight so as not to be seen. Then as soon as their was enough room to slip past the shadow guys form i ran as fast as my legs could carry me. I got halfway through the tunnel before i felt a pair of burly hairy arms wrap around my body an pick me up, halting any further chances of escape. After I was snatched up I was thrown to the ground an pinned down so i couldn't move a muscle.
"Calm down kid an i wont have to knock you out" the shadow man said to me. That only made me fight an struggle that much more. Then i realized theirs no way this guy is with the authorities to bring me back to a group home. Now i was scared stupid. If he's not here to take me back to the group home, then why is he here?
After fighting with the man for what seemed like hours i felt something strange happening in my body. At the same time my pendant began to glow with a black light. It was strange because this light was like when you closed your eyes to go to sleep, but it also glowed almost bright enough to blind you. Then a huge wave of heat attacked every cell inside of me, making me feel like I was boiling from the inside. I could feel my bones breaking an reassembling in completely new places an shapes. The pain was unbearable. The next thing I know is Im on top of the shadow man's body growling an snarling like a wild animal ready to kill anything that moves. Then I realized that I really was an animal ready to kill. More specifically I was a wolf.
What the heck is going on?
