Nicole the elf pov

i was in the castle with my mother and father and my two sisters, it was my turn to go on a hunt, i have to hunt down a boar and kill it, but there is a trick, he can not have any babies or a mate, well this is going to be tough, because most of the animals in this forest has mates and babies, my father smiled at me and so did my mother, “

‘Nicole, i know you can do this i have the highest faith in you, you have showed us that you could do anything, the last test for you is kill a boar the biggest one and bring him back to us i am sure you can do this,” i was thinking to myself, my father is completely crazy, but i knew he wasn't, he does this with all of us, he picks an animal for each of us, and if we bring back nothing, it means we still pass the test because they did not kill a family, we keep this forest a live, we grow the flowers, the trees and everything else, but we keep hidden there are many wars that go on with the supernatural, and we try to stay out of it as much as we can, my father once told me that his first mate was a she wolf, she would rule beside him in such a way even the rogues were scared of her, she died of attack on us, rogues figured out where we hid, they came after them and she died to many jumped on her, it almost killed him, many years later he found my mother she would listen for hours when he talked about her, he misses her from time to tiime, i understand that he does, that was his first mate, now he has us and i was next in line to do what i needed to do, i picked up my spear and my bow and arrow, including my dagger and put them in place on my body, i hugged them bye and told them i would make them proud, i was thinking to myself how i would, i have no clue, but i knew i needed to do this, i walked out of that castle and ran toward the woods, if i didnt do that i would turn back and stay home, but i rather not do that, i wanted to show them i could be a hunter, i jumped up into the trees and ran from branch to branch, the birds scattered when i shook the branches by jumping on them, after a few hours i stopped and set on a very large oak tree, i could tell this tree was over a few thousand years old, i bet if it had eyes and a mouth it could tell me some stories, i set there looking up into the sky watching the bald eagels fly high then they landed on a tree next to the one i was sitting on, they set in the nest with just three eggs in there, the hawks would dive down to catch the mice or the grass snakes that would slither on the ground, i was so into watching the birds i almost didn't see the large boar that was below the tree, i heard a grunting noise and then something digging in the ground, i looked down and watched him for a few minutes just incase his mate or babies came to help him dig, but nothing ever came, well it’s now or never, i took my chance and dropped down from the tree and landed right on him, he started kicking and squealing and believe me it was really loud, it hurt my pointy ears, he finally kicked me off and i landed on my butt on the ground, he came at me with his large tusk trying to kill me, i was thinking to myself it was me or him and it sure wasn't me, taking my dagger out of the sleeve of my boot, i was waiting for him to get close to me, and sure enough he did, he charge at me with his tusk so i had to hurry and roll out of the way before he stabbed me with them, i turned grabbing at his head driving the dagger through the top of his head, i finished him off by pushing it down further he died right there, i thank the forest mother for her help in finding him, I sighed as i picked up the large heavy boar over my shoulders to venture home, i had to jump back into the trees so rogues could not find me, if they did, they would try and take the boar and i would have to start all over again, it took me almost a day in a half to get home because i couldn’t run fast with it over my shoulders, when i finally got home my father and mother came up to me, i dropped it on the ground letting everyone come and see it, my father had cut the heart out of it and handed it to me,

“you killed it, you must at least take a bite out of the heart,” well i never thought about that, this is going to be really gross, i bit into making a face i chewed and swallowed.then gave the rest to my father, he shook his head, took the heart and ate the rest, i was trying my best not to throw up, that's just gross, he cleaned the boar and took it to the fire to cook, i couldn't help but think about the scent i smelled while i was there trying to kill the boar, i didn't know what it was but it smelled so good, but i knew i couldn't look for where it was coming from, i had to get back home so they could see the kill,

later that night, we ate our food, danced and had fun, i was getting tired, and i knew i needed rest, we don't always get tired, but when we do we need our rest, i was heading out of the food area when my mother stopped me,

“Nicole honey, you did a wonderful job, welcome to womanhood, but i also know you smelled your mate,” i was wondering my mate? when,where, and then i thought about the scent I smelled, of woods and pine, was that it?

“of course it was honey,” i forgot my mother could read our minds if she wanted to, she could also see the future and the past, it scares me sometimes, but its also pretty cool when she sees the future, we are always able to tell if something was about to happen. my mom is awesome,

“Mom, i knew i smelled a scent, but i couldn't abandon my task, that boar was going to kill me if i didn't kill it first, what should i do now?”

“Nicole, you have a lot on your hands, you must go find were you smelled his scent, he is a werewolf Nicole, he has been betrayed, he lost his people, his land, his home, even his business and money, his beta is locked in a cell somewhere dark and wet, you must help him Nicole, he will fight you on this tooth and nail he will try and push you away he will run from you but you must follow, he is broken Nicole you will fix him in time, you will help him get his pack and his people back, I want you to go right now and find him.” I sighed, i was really tired but i knew she was right, and sometimes i hate it but i love my mother, i put back on my gear pulling up and lacing my boots, it was time to go, i hugged my mother and told her to tell my father i will be okay,

‘Oh he already knows honey, i have already told him”

‘Of course you have, i will keep you informed mother, i kissed her cheek and i ran off back into the woods it's going to be a long night ahead of me, Once i made it back i found a cave hidden behind some trees I smelled the scent stronger in there, i walked inside and noticed a makeshift bed, what the heck, i shook my head and walked in deeper into the cave way in the back there was a small little hole in the ground he made, there was water inside, he must bath in that, he had no blanket to cover no food to eat, but i looked in another area and saw fish bones, oh so he does eat very clever in deed, well i now know where he lives but why here, what happened to him, why did he get thrown out of his pack, i decided not to stay there until he got back but i did climb a tree i put branches together and laid down in them it was so comfortable, i think i fell asleep for a few hours, i didn't even know when he got back, but hopefully we will meet soon
