Craig was going through the woods. He really loved hunting with his dad. He suddenly heard a rustle in the trees. There was a grey wolf standing right there about 33 feet away with her cub. He unslung his .22 rifle and shot the wolf once. It charged at him likely protecting her cub. That stupid wolf. Animals that dumb deserve to die...he thought. He shot her again twice killing the wolf. He yelled and laughed at killing the great wolf. He didn't notice he passsed by the cub whose mother he shot.
The woods were puncuated by three gunshots..George froze on the spot, a look of fear and sudden realisation in his eye. He quickly raised his rifle to the direction the shot came from, and ran forward to his son's aid. His frantic footsteps echoed through the bleak leafless forest..
Bandhurra whimpered softly, she felt her mother lick her head and she smiled. The pup’s golden eyes gazed up at the beautiful grey wolf; she wanted to be just like her someday. The pup raised her ashen colored paw and she swatted at her mother’s snout, she enjoyed the playtime by the big oak trees.
Bandhurra heard foot steps in the grass and her little cranium turned towards the human boy, “Mom…?” she whimpered softly. She watched the paws of her mom leave her side and stand in front of the human. Her golden eyes flickered as the shots rang through her small ears, she stood up and ran towards the fallen grey wolf.
Bandhurra’s paws pushed against the neck of her mother and she whimpered louder now, her cry easily heard. ” Get up…Mom..Get up!” she cried. She dropped down back to her paws and her eyes filled with tears, she lay down beside her. Bandhurra found herself curling into her mother’s body, a loud whimper rising through the air.

Craig stumbled through the woods and slipped on the ground into the mud. That was just great he thought. Another great happening on a wonderful day. He got up and wiped his clothes off. Just then a red light came down. He felt strange like something was changing. He then collapsed on the ground. When he got up he was different somehow since he couldn't walk on his 2 legs without falling down. He peered into the water and there he was, a gray wolf. This scared the living daylights out of him. AH!!!!! What just happened to me! Why am I this dumb and dirty creature!
George ran as fast as he could to the scene of the shooting, to fins his son's torn clothes and his rifle. He glanced over and saw a wolf limping away from where his son once stood.
"Animals...ANIMALS!!!! YOU KILLED MY SON!!!!!!
Tears of anger filled his eyes as he fixed his gaze upon the seemingly guilty wolf. He dropped his rifle and reached for his pistol
d**n YOU!!!!
He fired blindly at the wolf, beset with rage and heartbreak..

Dad why are you shooting at me! It is me your son! Please stop! Craig ran as fast as he could and slid down a hill into some more mud. This is turning into his lucky day. He ran as fast as he could to get away from his own father. Why are you chasing me! He kept running until he got into some bushes and hid. It was here he kept as quiet as possible. He then saw this female wolf pup by him. What do you want? Another dumb animal...he thought.
Bandhurra’s ears flattened back to her cranium tightly as she saw the other grey wolf. She let out a small growl in warning, “Go away!” she snapped at him. She stood up to her paws and looked back at Craig, “My mother..She needs help! Can you help her!” Bandhurra cried as she nudged the dead grey wolf’s side. Her golden eyes stuided him closely and she watched his every move.

Um huh? Wait this is your mom! Uh kid you know there is something I got to say. Your mom is dead. A human hunter killed her. I know this is hard for you dumb animals to understand but it is the facts. Um do you know the way around these parts?
Bandhurra’s golden eyes narrowed and she whimpered at the sound of “your mothers dead”. She stepped towards Craig, “They killed her, those stupid humans!’” she growled. Bandhurra’s ears perked forward as she listened to the forest around, “I’m not dumb and yes this is my home..” she said in a sour tone.
Bandhurra quickly stepped back over to her mother’s body and licked her snout once more, tears rolled down her furry cheeks. “Why do you ask…?” she added as she glanced back at Craig.

Uh stupid humans? Well I cannot believe I am saying this but I need a guide around these parts. I do not know where I am to go. And plus there is a hunter after me. Why is he chasing me? Of course Craig was thinking that out loud. Anyway what is your name or do you animals have names? Probably not. You animals do not seem that smart.
Bandhurra’s golden eyes stared at Craig like he was crazy, “You’re a wolf like me, yes we have names.” She replied coldly. Her salt and pepper hued ears twitched as she listened for the hunter, “Well I don’t hear anything, but follow me…” she said and bounded off into the woods. She moved pretty quickly, well as fast as her young legs would take her; she looked at Craig, “They call me Bandhurra and you?” she asked softly as she climbed over a large rock.

Who me? My name is Craig. Hey wait a minute a little pup like you knows the way around these parts? Craig laughed out loud. Um where is your father? Is he around? Where is he? Craig hoped there were no more wolves prowling about.
A frown crossed her and her eyes glanced over at Craig, “All I had was my mother, I don’t have a dad...there no one else.” she muttered. Bandhurra ran until they came before the den her mother had made for them, “We can stay here for a while.” she insisted as she looked inside. Bandhurra reclined back to her haunches and her ears flattened back, “I can’t believe shes gone…” pain flashed through the pup’s face.

Uh yeah she is gone kid. Now will you please stop bugging me with that. I am not the one at fault here! Anyway so what do wolves do for fun. Fighting probably. Wolves are easy to explain like all the other animals. So what do you do for fun?
Bandhura rolled her eyes at Craig, “What is wrong with you? Us wolves…look at yourself!” she snapped. She stepped over towards him raising a paw, she poked at his chest. ”Where did you come from? We survive spend most of our time surviving. You’ve seen those careless hunters, I lost my dad to a hunter like that!” she growled. Grief took over her heart and she lay on the cold den floor, the scent of her mother still passing through her leathery pink nose. “Tell me Craig, what is it exactly you want.” she asked.

Wait your dad died too! Are you all alone now? Who is going to take care of you? And what do you mean by careless hunters? Well this little wolf pup was finally becoming more bearable. Craig thought how was he going to tell her he killed his mom? No I feel no pity the wolf charged at me. I was defending myself.
Bandhura reclined back to her haunches and her golden hued eyes studied the jabbering male wolf, “Yes. There both dead now…I have to take care of myself. “ she muttered. Her ashen paw pushed a small rock around, “Do you travel alone…?” she asked.

Uh, Yes of course! Craig blurted that out without thinking really. Um so what do you want to do Bandhura right? Oh what is he doing? Why is he trying to play with the pup? For some reason no matter how annoying he was starting to grow fond of the little wolf pup. What are you doing?
Bandhura looked up at Craig, “Uhh..I’m not sure.” more tears slid down her furry cheeks. The death of her mother was still fresh on her mind. “What do you plan on doing…? she asked him softly. Her ears perked forward as she listened for the sounds of anyone who didn’t belong, mainly. People.

Uh I don't know what do wolves do? Do they fight, swim, fetch sticks, what? Why did the little wolf pup thought he knew. Of course because he is older. He waited for the little pup to answer.
Bandhura listened to him explain he didn’t know what wolves do; she thingyed her head to the side and stared at him. “We Live..I guess we do all those things, plus more.” she replied back to him. Bandhura stood up to her paws and she glanced around, her ears flickering as she listened closely. “We should keep moving, we don’t want the humans to find us..” she said stepping away from Craig. She left small little paw prints in the mud, she traveled north away from her home. But to Bandhura she wasn’t sure where she was going or what her next move was.

Again wolves so predictable. Maybe that is why humans have built cities. Okay let's keep going. Craig traveled a bit until he wanted to ask something. So uh...what do you think of humans? I mean look how advanced they are! I mean come on! Um where are we going anyway?
George was distraught and frustrated. The loss of his son had pushed him over the edge of reason and into the pursuit of brutal revenge. He replayed the terrible memory in his head over and over until his rage took control. H ewas frustrated that he had missed his chance to take down his sons killer
I'll get you...I'll get you...
He dragged himself forward and begun to examine the pawprints of his prey...the hunt had begun.
As Bandhura stepped through the dirt and trees, she sighed little. Her small legs were starting to hurt but she couldn’t stop, she had to keep moving. Her golden eyes glanced back at Craig, ”Humans, they are heartless creatures. They kill for fun and they ruin our forests.” she answered in a chilling tone.
As they continued through the forest Bandhura lifted her snout into the air, she sniffed a couple times. Her ears perked forward and she bounded through a bush, “Finally water…” she yelled to Craig. She ran to the bank and lapped up the blue liquid.

Humans kill for fun? Okay. Animals drink in that archaic way. People however are more delicate. Craig went to the water and tired to drink. He put his paw in the water and tried to fish some out. Unfortunately that did not work. Why won't this work! I am thirsty! So what do you eat around here?
Bandhurra’s cranium tilted as she watched Craig drink, ”Umm...do it like this. Humans aren’t delicate..” she grumbled. She stepped up beside Craig and dipped her snout towards the water; her pink tongue fell into the water. ”Ahh..lap it up…” she said showing him how to drink. Putting her paw on her snout she sighed, ”This is uh…going to be harder than I thought” She reclined back to her haunches setting her paw to the ground. ”We need to find food, a deer or rabbit.”

Um doesn't that get water all over you Bandhura? I will try it anyway. So Craig reluctantly lapped up the water. What am I doing? I am drinking like a dog...he thought. Wait a little pup like you can catch big game? Craig let out a little laugh. Maybe you should let me do it.
”Yeah, do you know how to hunt?” she asked with a puzzled look. This wolf was a weird one and he made Bandhura’s head hurt. She lay down on her stomach by the bank, her nose lowered to the ground and she inhaled deeply. ”Look for scents..then track them.” she said softly instructing Craig.

Uhh...do I know how to hunt? Yeah tracking the animal is not a problem for me. I have done that loads of times. I just do not know how to...kill the animal. I mean I am used to being uh...never mind. I just do not know how to bring down an animal.
Bandhura raised her paw and showed Craig her nails, then she flashed her canines. Her golden eyes looked back at him, ”Try using your nails and teeth…they come in handy” she said tired. This wolf was getting on her nerves, she was going to starve and be questioned to death.
===
Okay. Craig went into the woods. Not long after he saw a bull elk eating. Perfect he thought. He charged at the elk as quickly as he could and bit down hard on the elk and used his claws to scratch it. Unfortunately the elk kicked him in the head and made him lose his grip. He came back to the wolf pup with a bad bump on his head and a little angry. Well I did exactly what you said and what did I get? A bad bump on my head and a horrible headache!
Bandhura was resting her eyes when Craig padded towards her, she opened a honey colored eye. A smirk crossed her snout as she giggled out loud. ”Hehe…What happened to you. Apparently..you don’t know what you’re doing..” she said smiling. Her eyes looked up at Craig and she sighed. ”Let’s just fish…” She answered standing up to her paws. She made her way over to the water bank and stepped into the blue liquid.

No, No I can do it! I can hunt and catch an animal. He then saw a rabbit jump out from the bushes. He charged as fast as he could although the rabbit was much faster and more agile. He tripped and accidently opened his mouth killing the animal. He brought back the rabbit with pride. Not bad considering I tripped and was never taught how to take down an animal huh? So uh if you were turned into a human what would you do? He thought about telling Bandhura the story. She would hate him for it but he can't keep telling lies. He kept pondering on whether to tell her. If he didn't tell her she would get tired of him and leave. If he did tell her she would get angry and leave. He decided to wait for her response.
Bandhura looked at Craig get angry and she shook her snout, ”You just need some..” she was cut off as Craig stormed off downward and after a rabbit. She watched him trip and kill the rabbit with his canines, her honey colored eyes stared blankly. ”How did you…? Never mind I won’t ask…” she said out loud towards Craig as he came back.
Bandhura lifted her ashen colored paws from the water and stepped halfway to meet him, she reclined back and sighed. ”I would’nt want to be a human. Those killers…” she cursed in a cold tone. ”I’d rather be dead then be a filthy human..” she spat. Her disliking of the two-legged creatures standing out.

Um well I have a story to tell you. Um you see a human adolescent went hunting and found a wolf and her pup. He uh...shot the wolf and left the pup out there all alone. Then moments later he changed into a wolf except he didn't know how to walk as one, how to drink as one, or how to eat as one and this little pup taught him all of that. So...I am sorry Bandhura I am so sorry. I...uh killed your mother. He looked away ashamed.
Bandhura’s ears flattened back to her skull tightly and she gazed up at Craig with pain in her face. ”You…that’s why you’re so weird…and you can’t hunt or drink! Like a real wolf..You filthy human!” she snapped stepping away from him. She turned her honey colored eyes away from Craig and tears slid down her cheeks. ”Too think…I helped you!” she ran away from Craig and sat under a big pine tree. She lifted her snout into the air tears still running down to the ground, “Mom! I can’t Do this without you….I can’t…Come back..”she yelled into the air angrily.

Goodness gracious. Can't fault her for her patience. I would have taken a somewhat more aggressive approach to confronting this situation if somebody told me they'd killed my mam. I doubt that Bandhura is going to take much of a shine to Craig now, is she?

He then ran to Bandhura trying to explain. Please If I had known...I would have not...I am so sorry. I would have not killed your mother. I deserve this punishment and I just want you to know thank you. Goodbye. He then walked away towards the mountains. He walked with his head down as he continued on.
George had barely eaten in days, living off the meagre vegetation that the coming winter had left. His appearance was sullen and pale, yet wild and alive with anger and determination. His face, now covered in a mass of grey hair, blended in with the environment around him. He put himself to the floor and began examining the end of the forest, where the wolf tracks continued up towards the mountains...
Wolves NEVER go near the mountains...it knows I'm stalking..
He laid his hands upon his improvised bow and arrow and grasped it meaningfully in his cold aching hands. Te wear and tear of the jounrey had rendered his rifle useless, the cartridges penetrated by moisture and dirt. He was now left at the mercy of his violent instincts. His will to survive..his desire to win..his want for vengeance..his need to kill.
Bandhura’s honey colored eyes glared at Craig as he spoke to her, she stood back up and growled angrily. As Craig disappeared towards the mountains, she watched him leave. Bandhura glanced around the forest and she realized she was a helpless pup who could barely survive on her own.
Bandhura panicked and ran after Craig, “Craig..wait…” she yelled. She ran as fast as her little legs could take her and caught up with Craig. Gasping for breathing she stopped and looked up at him, “Don’t leave me..I’ve got no one else and you don’t know how to be a wolf.” she added.

Please just stay away from me. I am a heartless human. You said so yourself. Besides there is one other detail I forgot to mention. That hunter who is after me is my father. He thinks I am a wolf who killed his son. If you travel with me you only risk your own life.
Bandhura paused and thought for a moment and she sighed, ”Look maybe I can help you. We might be able to do this together..I’m good at tracking and you can hunt. Me being alone I have a small chance I’ll make it through this winter.” she whispered. Her honey colored eyes gazed up Craig and she pleaded with him to let her go with, ”You need me..” she added sternly. Bandhura wasn’t going to take no for an answer, she was determined to stick by Craig. Even though the loss of her mother saddened her she had no one else.

So are you telling me you want to go with the same person who shot without remorse your own mother? And what if I am the same person who shot and killed your father too? Come on. Let's go. He sighed. Why would she want to travel with him? He is the same person who caused her grief.
Bandhura followed closely behind Craig, she didn’t exactly understand herself. But she knew she there were worse things out there then Craig and his gun wielding father. Her grey ears lay flatly on her head and she sighed into the chilly mountain air. ”What exactly is your plan, ” she asked him softly.
