The Return of my Shewolf

Here in the dark I stand. I smell the night
air searching for any danger that might surround me. I
am alone. I look to the skies and see the
moon. So full and yellow. I feel the urge to
cry to it, but something holds me back. I know not
what it is, but I sense something is not right.
I have just finished my nightly meal, drank the cool
water. My hunger has been satisfied, my thirst is no more.
But still I feel uneasy. Then I hear a noise.
Not certain what it is or where it came from.
Then suddenly I feel pain. I know now what the
sound was. Man has taken his madness out on me.
I run but I am in so much pain. I
run faster, trying to find a place to hide...
faster and faster, not wanting to surrender myself to
death. Finally I come upon a cave. I crawl slowly
inside and fall to the ground. The pain slowly starts
to ease, but I know my time is near. I
try to lick my wound, taste my blood and it
makes me afraid. I feel my life slowly being drained
from my body. I drag myself to the opening of
the cave. I must see the moon one more time
before I die. The night is so still, nothing seems
to be moving. I feel my heart beating slower, knowing
it won't be long now
 
Before my life will end. I look up at the
moon. It seems so eerie now. Clouds glide across it
almost ghostly. A small cry comes from within me. A
cry of fear, of pains lay my head down
once again. My body feels so cold. I wonder if
this is what death is. To be alone, so cold,
so dark. I try to raise my head, but to no avail.
My strength is slowing leaving me. I feel numbness
now and a sort of peace come over me. I
close my eyes and death surrounds me. I lay there
for a bit and something starts to happen. I start
to feel different, but I'm not use why. I slowly
get to my feet, stand there just for a second
and the slowly I turn around. I look down at
the ground and with fear in my heart, I see
myself laying there, not moving. No, I say to myself.
This can't be happening. I wonder is this dream.
Is it a fantasy that I will wake from? I
turn and walk away from the cave into the dark,
not knowing where I am going. I walk what seems
like miles but yet I am not tired. I see
a stream just ahead of me. I walk towards it.
The moon is shinning so bright I see my reflection
coming from the water, but wait!!! That is not I.
I look again scared of the reflection in the water.
No, I cry, that is not me. Who is this
that is looking back at me? I am a Black
Wolf, but the image in the water is that of a
White Wolf.
I start to run. Faster and faster...Heading
for my home atop the big mountain...As I run
the animals seem not to fear me as if I
am not really here. I don't understand it
so I run faster until I reach my home. I sit there for
a while, wondering what has happen to me. Suddenly a warm
feeling comes over me. I hear a strange sound coming
from the distance. I look up and a peace comes
over me. In the distance running towards me is my
she wolf. I run to her, my heart pounding with
the love I have for her. She draws close, her
eyes sparkling from the rays of the moon. We look
at one another and without saying a word, I know
now I have joined my SheWolf...
