Sneak peek of Chapter 1

It was a dark, cold winter’s night. Icy wind whipped around, chilling the bones of anyone who happened upon them. The whistling of the wind was pierced by a howl. And not just any howl, the terrifying howl of the werewolves. They were hungry, and the figure they were chasing after looked like a delicious supper.

The werewolves' cries enveloped the figure as she continued to run from the sound. The full moon shone upon her like a bright torch as she rushed through an ultraviolet wall. Seconds later the two figures following behind her and herself appeared on an island's sandy bank surrounded by crystal waters.

In the distance, they could see a beam of warm light coming from a nearby house. The more steps they took towards the beam of light, they could begin to shape out a very large building. Flags and banners decorated the sides of the building, ruffling in the winter’s night air. She turned back to see the wolves clawing at the wall. This was her only chance. She reached for the girl's hands.

As quickly as they could, she and the two others panted towards the two doors. The figure leading the two was very faint and whenever she talked, her voice was very shrill. She had been entrusted with these children and now it was her time to leave. Her short wrinkly legs stumbled up the steps. Her scarred arms reached for the door.

And she knocked.
