Jesse ran, ran for her freedom, ran from her dad's mistakes. She had no intention of ever going this far into a world of desperation. As she ran, her head was turned, lengthening the distance between her dad's world and the unknown. Jesse suddenly stumbled, loosing her footing. Tumbling twelve feet into the ground, Jesse swarmed through thickets or thorns, sticks and stones, and humiliation.
Frightened by the impact of gravity, Jesse couldn't stop the endless fall. Then, darkness crept in as she flew into a tree. The dark took over her mind, her body, shutting it all down.
Jesse had awoken to a startling face. It's eyes shown through her soul like a dagger stabbing through her heart. As the thunder clasped, the face was caught in a soft glimpse, it was a wolf. Jesse lay back, cautious of the stern face. Suddenly, she realized a different surrounding.
How had she gotten here? Why was this wolf staring at her? She heard a soft voice; although, nothing was found.
"Outsider!" the voice screamed,"I should have never brought you here." The wolf seemed to let out a low growl. Jesse knew now....the voice wasn't a voice at all. It was a thought...from the wolf.
Jesse was amazed! She had never had a dog although, she knew they didn't speak to you through thought...in fact, they didn't really speak at all.
"Can you hear me?" Jesse thought.
"Of course I can!" The wolf snapped.
"Great! I should call you something like Max, or Bob, or-"
"No....that's bull."
"Oh." Jesse thought blankly.
"My name is Tarrzar."
"Hello, Tarrzar. My name is Jesse." What happened next was something Jesse never expected.
Tarrzar's nostrils flared as a musky scent filled deep into them. He turned toward Jesse, "Get on my back."
"Wh-"
"Just do it!" He crouched as Jesse climbed onto his back and felt the security of his bushy mane.
"Where are we going?"
"Away from here."
"Why?"
"I'll explain later." Then, with one final thought, Jesse and Tarrzar fled toward the security of the moon.
It felt as if they had been running for hours, Jesse felt her face...cool as ice. Even thought she was chilled, something inside her was alive that was missing before, she was free.
"Tarrzar?"
"What?"
"That was..." Jesse felt no need to think more...like she could think at that moment?
"What were we running from back there?"
"The enemy herd."
"There's more of you?"
"Of course!" His face formed a sneer, "You're so stupid! The herd told me to never return once I had saved you! They say humans are the enemy! Now-now I am the enemy, an outsider."
"Oh, Tarrzar..." Jesse motioned as if to hug his fur...for comfort but he rejected with a fierce growl.
As the sun rose, Jesse and Tarrzar decided to set out on a hunt, a hunt for food. Little did they know, they weren't the only ones hunting.
Both girl and wolf stalked through the forest ground in search for small animals for Tarrzar. Jesse wasn't quite prepared for rat dinners yet. As they journyed, the shaking of leaves filled the forest with sound.
"What is that?"
"Just a squirrel, no need to panic." Tarrzar thought. The sound was heard again and with that they ran from the gun shots of hunters.
