Claim Of His Claws

Leviana Carter

She ran through the dark hallways, sweat running down her face like tears. Her body was shaking badly and she could feel the skin underneath her feet being ripped apart by sharp stones.

Why were there stones in that hallway? Where exactly was she ? She had no idea.

But she was feeling so scared and she could feel the darkness running after her in an attempt to take over completely.

She wasn't going to let it, she was never. Only the sound of her feet's and her deep breaths were being heard in the hall way and the sinister silence of the darkness that was slowly gaining its momentum.

She looked back for the uptenth time but all she could see was her fear and her footprints left behind in the fast, scary race.

Suddenly she appeared in the light forest she loved, a forest she visited every time whenever she felt sad and lonely. The same forest that offers consolation to her was here again and she could feel a little does of peace rush down her body as she breathed out falling to her knees.

She smiled happily as she took her time to regain her energy but she suddenly heard some noises behind her and she stood up again sharply, ready to sprint as she turned back.

Her eyes widened and a sharp gasp escaped from her lips as fear took over her body once again.

A dead girl was lying in front of her and a group of people were laughing sinisterly as they looked at shaking self. It was like a conspiracy, they conspired to kill this girl, they killed her! She couldn't recognize their faces but she could definitely see the face of the young girl who lied in a pool of her own blood, a hole made by a knife stab in her stomach.

Judging from her look, she was stabbed at least four times. Who was so evil to have done this? Hot tears rushed out of her eyes as she stared at the dead girl.

"Who did it?" She suddenly shot, anger rising through her nerves, her blood boiling hot for vengeance.

But there was no reply, instead one of the laughing statues just raised its hands pointing at her and Leviana slowly looked down at herself.

Her hands were looking very bloody, no, they were very bloody, same with her clothes and now she could feel the blood on her face. Her eyes widened again as she suddenly realized she was holding the sharp knife that was dripping of thick red blood.

"What?" She muttered, throwing the knife down in fear and slowly touched her body. She felt very hot upon the realization that she might have been the killer.

She had killed this girl!

She had!!!

"Nooo!!!!!!!" She suddenly screamed, breathing hotly as her eyes opened sharply and her gaze landed on the white ceiling.

"Leviana." She heard her mother's voice call calmly and she slowly moved her eyes to the side, her gaze ending on her mother, Daisy.

"Mom.." She whispered as she breathed sharply, trying to regain her breaths and calm down at the same time. It was just a dream, a dream that had felt so real.

Daisy sighed as she sat beside Leviana and hugged her slowly, patting her back calmly.

"It's all just a dream. It's just a dream." She muttered and Leviana nodded, listening to her mother's soothing words.

"It's all good, I'm here with you." She said, further reassuring Leviana.

The door suddenly opened and Jupiter, Leviana's younger sister peeped in.

"Leviana, you are not yet ready? We are gonna be late for school." She said grumpily staring at the mother and daughter loving hug, then she sneered.

"So I'm not invited?" She asked and Daisy smiled, widening her arms, Jupiter rushed in immediately, giving a big teddy hug.

"Leviana can come later, Jupiter. Leave with Noel so you won't be late." Her father peeked in through the open door.

"Fine." Jupiter said grumpily and left immediately, hugging her father shortly before leaving.

"Goodbye dad, Goodbye mom." Their older brother, Noel, shouted below the stairs.

"Goodbye!!" The parents replied and Carter slowly walked into Leviana's room after making sure that Jupiter and Noel got out.

He sighed as he sat down beside both of them on the bed.

"Still the same thing?" He asked, placing his hands on Leviana's own.

"Yes, dad. I'm so scared. I can't seem to get used to the same dream. It's so scary." She muttered and Carter squeezed her hand affectionately.

"You'll be fine. If only your memories could come back..." He sighed.

"They'll soon come back. All of them. Maybe when you get your wolf, your memories would be triggered." Daisy said.

"I think so too. When you get your memories back, we can find a solution to the dream." Carter said and Leviana nodded slowly. She had finally calmed down but her breathing was still unsteady and she also felt eyes were watching her.

"Come on, get ready and come down for breakfast." Daisy smiled.
