"hey you?.... where's Jake?"AUREALIS heard Sylvia yell at her before she was yanked back an away from the wolves she was keenly watching.It was their 18th birthday and Sylvia's parents had decided to celebrate it by going camping in the woods behind the national Zoo.She had hoped Sylvia would drop her cruelty for the day at least.Well,she had hoped wrong."Look Sylvia....it's your ....""You think I don't see the way you stare and steal glances at him when he was dating me.you loved him , admit it....." " Sylvia...I'm not in the mood for this.....it's my birthday too and I don't want any problem...."She made to turn back to the wolves she was preoccupied with when she was yanked back by her hair . She heard the first growling then ."Don't you turn your back when I'm talking...you church rat... and besides....."She paused an scoffed in mockery" With the way you said it one would have thought you deserved been celebrated..."She taunted and continued" By the way.. where's Jake?I know you know where he went to ....."" For God's sake ....Sylvia ..you're his girlfriend and if he left the the school seven months ago without telling you...it's not on me...give me a break"In anger , Sylvia jammed her against the cage netting behind her and did it over and over again.Her friends that were watching were hullaoing and praising her.Tears appeared in AUREALIS eyes that she tried to ignore but they fell irrespective of her wishes.It was getting to full moon and the wolves in the cage behind her started snarling and growling;their fangs bared as they watched Sylvia abuse Aurealis.As the moon got fuller,the wolves got more violent an agitated trying to break free from their cage which got everyone gasping and running for cover.Aurealis heard the commotion behind her and tried to pull away from her sister's grasp to safety but Sylvia refused to let go.And the full moon emerged and as soon as it's glare fell on AUREALIS,a strong wind rose and the most unbelievable change came over her .Her eyes flashed and shone a complete blue.One of the hitherto restless wolves finally leaped out from the cage ,it's eyes the Sam blue as that of Aurealis and clawed Sylvia's perfect face and an eye out.Everywhere was in chaos and panic when Sylvia screamed with blood running down her face and staining her designer birthday gown.Everyone was calling 911 and trying to get help .Aurealis was in a trance ,her eyes trained on the moon and then as suddenly as it had started the moon dimmed ,the wind went down and she was her normal self again.She panted deeply trying to get her bearing when she was struck by a sudden pain at her arm;she looked at her arm and saw weird markings breaking out on the skin of her right arm.She tried to clean it off but it was embedded into her skin like a tattoo.Her world seemed to stop as she panicked wondering what was happening to her .She turned around to find answers and met everyone huddled together at a safe distance and videoing her.Sh made towards them and they all stepped backwards.Her eyes then caught that of her foster mother bending over her daughter's ruined face and she knew.The look she saw in her mother's eyes told her that if she were to ever follow them home ,she wouldn't be alive to tell the story.And with that realization,she ran off and into the woods.Panting,she stumbled a lot,her breath coming in heavy gasps and heaves.She fell, stood up and kept on running, anxious to put as much distance as possible between the zoo and what had happened there.She stopped suddenly to catch her breath and collapsed.Her vision began to cloud,she tried to fight it but it was of no use .She was fast losing conciousness when she saw the most handsome masculine specimen with blood red eyes bend over her.She decided she was dreaming when she felt the blood Rushing in her head and her sudden racing heartbeat."Who.... are..... you?"She strung out weakly as she felt herself falling asleep."Mate."And she blacked out.
