The Lilac Wolf

CHAPTER 2

LEXIE

*

Today marks 3 years that I live on the cliff, which means that I turn 18 years old.

.

Because of me my whole clan was wiped out in a matter of minutes and I don't even know why, I couldn't say goodbye or look back, while they attacked us I was hiding, living in a werewolf pack, being the daughter of an alpha mostly, you learn everything.

.

When I found this cliff the first thing I did was arrange a corner to live, I did not want to live far from nature and from here I can see the place which I never forgot even from very far away. In my huge backpack that looks more like a suitcase my aunt put very important things, a lot of clothes, some jewelry that I sold, a slipper that ended a long time ago, my cell phone that I use only to see the time and date, four picture frames, one with my mom and dad, one with Greg, one with my aunt Briana and one with all together, three pocket knives, two karambits; and two axes, all made of resin that I made with my brother Greg, just thinking about him makes my chest tighten. Greg was always the jealous and protective older brother, but he did not deprive me of anything, on the contrary, he taught me how to fight, taught me everything I know about weapons. So we did some together.

.

With my axes I managed to build my house in the middle of the forest, it is made of two types of bamboos, I decided to create my house with a very high Foundation for the creeping forest animals, so it is as if my house had 2 floors, and below there is nothing. I learned a lot about house building when I was still little and dad told his men to increase the Houses of the pack when he confirmed that a new couple were companions, if I were a simple human, I think I would be interested in doing civil engineering college, my house is very strong, the top part besides the smaller bamboos lined with banana leaves for when it rains and also to leave my house covered. I made a small balcony and also the furniture with the bamboos. I would say my house is comfortable.

.

After having passed in the Bank, 3 counselors who were friends of my father helped me to bring some things, such as my mattress, some blankets, an eletric stove, also helped me to steal eletricity from the neighboring city for me to use the stove.

.

In these 3 years I have learned to live with animals, even my wolf has not yet awakened, I know every animal that lives here, I talk to them and as crazy as it is, sometimes it seems that they understand me.

.

I don't always want to go in the city to buy food so eating for me was the worst of all, I spent almost half a year eating only fruits and berries... coconut, Fig, Cambuí, Grumixama, Cambucá, Tucumã among other things, after eating only fruit, my body begged for more substance. It was then that my saga began, I ate animal meat, of course, small and older animals even the meat of the older ones being harder there is a way to soften it, I always opted for rabbit because it is a very small animal and also because I do not waste food, since I have no refrigerator and nothing that helps me As well as freshwater fish like tambaqui, my house is located near the waterfall and river, I chose this place for my house because the forest here is more closed, closer to the waterfall for my daily baths and closer to the river to fish.

.

The sun was already starting to set, so I decided to get off the cliff and go home, yesterday I picked some extra fruits and I would take the opportunity to make them my dinner tonight. As soon as I turn my back bob is waiting for me, bob who is a graxaim of the most beautiful field I have ever seen, sometimes I think he is white, other times I think he is gray, he lives behind me since the second day I came here, I feel like he is a kind of protector. Despite being a wild animal he never attacked me, on the contrary he never abandoned me, does he know that I have a She-Wolf?

.

- Let's go home Bob, it's getting dark and I'm tired.- Bob licks my hand raising his ears and wagging his tail. I spent the whole afternoon at the waterfall where I usually take my bath and then came to the cliff to look at the ruins of what used to be my pack. There's not a day I don't miss them, Greg's implication, my parents ' protection, Daniel's singing and even Melaine nagging me to go shopping.

*

I get home, I decide to leave the door and window open since it's too hot and during the night it gets cold, I made my bed like a crib and on top a mosquito net, the mosquitoes are severe, I was so tired that I didn't even notice that I fell asleep and woke up with a very loud noise, like an explosion. Did they, who were after my pack, find me?

.

I get up and run out to the door, Bob is looking out with his tail wagging, when I get to the door I notice that a big smoke of Earth Rising and it seems to be on the cliff. I didn't feel fear, I felt apprehension and whenever I feel something I remember my mother talking about listening to my instincts.

.

- Let's see what that was, Bob? - He keeps wagging his tail and we run towards the ground smoke. The sun is rising which helps with the light in the forest and when I get to the foot of the cliff the scene I see amazes me. A huge reddish-brown Dragon is fallen, hugging a person between its wings.
