That strange feeling you have when you know that you will never see the place where you grew up, the playground where you once played when you were a child. My room. I feel a certain nostalgia and sadness. Part of me doesn't want to leave, but another part yells at me that I shouldn't be selfish, my mother has been offered a very good job in the north of the country. I'll have to go to a new school, meet new people, leave ... Will —My ex-boyfriend — As soon as I gave him the news He got very angry and we finished. I think it was for the best.

I finished putting my bags in the car and opened the door, but before I took one last look at my old home, it was a small, white, two-story house. It had a garden full of a The yellow flowers that Mom had planted in her time are still there. The day was sunny. I closed my eyes for a few seconds and got on.

"¿Are you ready?" Mom asked, in a whisper.

No I'm not. This is too much for me. I do not want to go.

"Yes," I lied. She smirked and started the car, we had a long way to go. Today was Wednesday, which meant I would have to go to school tomorrow.

God, I'm so nervous.

Mom was my size, we were 1.69 tall around there, she had good legs and she was also ruby. Sometimes they confused us with sisters, it was really funny, but I guess they also do it because the mom way is not serious or anything like that, on the contrary, it is cheerful and fun. I am the opposite of her.

"Carolina, remove that face, we are not going to get into the wolf's mouth," she tried to raise my spirits, I felt a chill when she said that last. "Look at this ..." She paused "Like a new adventure, you will meet new friends, maybe a boy." She smiled.

¿Boy? I don't want to meet any guys, until recently I broke up with Will and it still hurts.

I didn't answer, I just looked out the window at the forest, it was foggy, it seemed really beautiful. The trees were huge, I could see inside the forest ... There was no animal or anyone.

"We are arriving." She announced, pointing to the sign that said this town's name. It's name was Lewiston.

I didn't get excited or anything, we had traveled for eight hours and I honestly didn't feel my ass. The houses began to be seen, the people, the bars, the cinema, shops and I also looked at the school. It was a huge two-story building.

"Look, that's your new school." She pointed to the huge building in front of us.

There were some guys out there, maybe the ones who stay to bother after they go out because it's getting dark already. Mom kept driving until she took a road where there were no more houses, just trees.

"¿Where we go?" I asked, looking out the window somewhat hurriedly.

"To our house, I hadn't told you that it was the only property that was available, the old owners moved in a few months ago and it was empty" She looked at me quickly.

Great, I'm going to be in this forest by myself. Mom will spend her time working. This and feeling a bit scared, I don't know what kind of animals are in this forest, or even worse, if they are wild.

"This is a very effective way to socialize." I said sarcastically.

She denied laughing.

I'll be alone in the forest.

"Look" she called, "after all, we're not the only ones who live around here." She glanced in the rearview mirror. I turned to see, behind us came three cars, all of them were expensive and black, the windows were dark so I couldn't see through them to see the supposed neighbors. What you could hear was the loud music they were bringing.

"Great," I turned my eyes to the front, forming the lips in a single line. Everything was going well, until we heard a noise coming from the engine.

There is no!

This can not be happening.

"Don't fail me now ..." Mom murmured, doing her best to keep the poor car moving. But it was not enough as the car slowly stopped until we came to a complete stop. Damn car.

"Got damn!" Mom exclaimed, hitting the steering wheel hard but she quickly rubbed the affected area making a face in pain, I laughed in the process.

The cars behind us began to honk in despair.

"I think we have to walk the rest of the way." She began to open his door. I opened my mouth in amazement, I didn't want to walk. "It won't be long." She calmed me down as he got out of the car.

"It's getting dark ..." I murmured.

"I know, so we better hurry. Help me with the bags, will you?" She closed the door and went to the back. Reluctantly I got out of the car myself, closing the door behind me. The first thing I did was see the three cars that were there, screaming in despair. I got to Mom who was looking for something in one of the bags, but I didn't pay much attention to it since my gaze was fixed on the car in front.

Even though I couldn't see the person who was driving I could feel their sights set on me. It was one of those closed-top vans that are super expensive and pretty. Was color black and in front it had the word Jeep in a silver color.

"Carolina, tell those people to stop whistling, they're starting to exasperate me." She order. I frowned and looked at her. He didn't want to talk to them, or did he even know if they were friendly.

"I'd better get the suitcases out." I refused, as I looked for my things and put them on the floor.

Mom sighed and turned to see those people. "I'm very sorry ..." she started saying "But my car died, if you want you can pass it to par! Thank you!" She finished, turning around and getting back to business. The first car pulled away quickly, passing by, while the others followed.

"This wouldn't have happened if that car wasn't rubbish!" I exclaimed, feeling my legs heavy. My outfit was based on distressed jeans, black converse, and a white T-shirt. Not forgetting my black jacket that I always wore.

We had been walking for more than an hour, it was dark and the moon had already risen. only the moon illuminated us.

Mom was going ahead, I was staying a little further behind, the two suitcases she was carrying were very heavy. The weather felt freezing, when I spoke smoke came out of my mouth, I didn't know that this town was this cold, and I only have short, loose clothes. Don't blame me, it was sunny in my city. The only thing that kept me warm was my jacket. I had tied my hair in a loose bun that a few hairs had come loose and were on my face.

"We are arriving" she exclaimed from up ahead.

As we were walking I looked at another path to the right, I guess the people of the cars followed that path. But that road was dirt, the paved road ended here. I put the suitcases on the floor to get some rest.

"God ..." I murmured, taking a deep breath.

Unconsciously I looked at the forest, the dark forest that seemed to call me. I don't know why, but I felt watched. A new sensation.

"Carolina, hurry up!" Mom yelled. I came out of my thoughts, grabbing my bags and running a bit until I reached her.

"We arrived!" She exclaimed, dropping the suitcases to the ground. It was a slightly large two-story house, but it wasn't the house that caught my eye, without or the huge lake that was in front of it. The huge moon lit it up, it looked so ... Beautiful. Something good came out of all this.

I walked to the little dock that lay there and sat down. I removed my shoes so my feet would touch the water. It was a bit chilly. I looked at the moon, it looked so big and beautiful.

"Carolina, help me here!"

I closed my eyes for a second. I can't even take a break. I stood up but something caught my attention. On the other side of the lake there was a house, it was also two stories high. I'd swear it's the same distance as mine. I imagine the guys in the car live there. After all, we do have neighbors. I was going to turn to go back to Mom, but a howl put me on alert, made my foot shudder and filled me with fear.

¿Wolves? Are there wolves here ?!

Fuck me not.
