“Simon.” I rushed to him and hugged him.
“Are you hurt?” He asked.
“No …why?”
“I heard, a panther stalked a student, I was really scared.. I thought …” Simon shuddered.
“C’mon bro, am fine.” I said and he heaved and looked at my jacket.
“You didn’t wear this earlier.” He asked referring to the black jacket which Max gave me.
“Uhmm…my friend have it to me.” I said with panic.
He glared at me…
“Pull the jacket and return it to the owner.” He ordered. He hates when am borrowing things from people.
But how can I pull the Jacket. Am naked.
“I can’t..” I whispered.
“Don’t refute my orders.” He commanded and I shook.
I turned back and saw Max and Simon looking at me…no ‘us’
“Brother please, I can’t pull off this jacket now.” I pleaded.
He got infuriated and dragged me to himself.
He tore off the jacket with just a drag. And he gasped as he saw …
I couldn’t hold back the tears, and I burst into tears, using the torn jacket to cover my body.
“Oh..Am sorry Ann…I didn’t intend to do that…take mine.” Simon pulled off his Army Jacket and gave me.
“We are going home, now.” He said and I nodded.
He put his hand around my shoulder, slowly we walked out of the school.
“Jerry, continue with the investigations…I would be right back.” Simon shouted to his colleague.

~~MAX~~

Ridiculous.
A panther?
That sounds weird. I never thought of any other predator to be in Yellowstone apart from wolves. So what could possibly go wrong. Am suspecting Max, but am not really sure he’s the one. He hasn’t left the class since today.
If a panther is in this city, that means grandma is not safe, and Ann would be in more danger, considering the lonely and perilous domicile she resides.

I and Simon kept walking on the mass of snow.
Everywhere was quiet and the only sound was the sound of our feets, being crunched on the Snowmass.
Then we heard growling at the deep part of The forest. My legs wobbled and my heart lurched.
“Be calm…” Simon whispered as he brought out his silencer.
A wolf jumped out of the bush, but Simon shot it immediately. The wolf died at the exact spot.
So easy.
Maybe, I’ll steal his gun sometimes.
Simon squatted and looked at the wolf.
“Is a normal wolf.” He said.
Just as I was about speaking, another wolf rushed out. This time, it was coming to me.
I screamed in a high falsetto and Simon jerked up and shoot the wolf.
Such an expert.
“Let’s hurry, here is not safe.” He held me and we started running home.

I walked deep down into the forest. It seems someone was following me.
“Gotcha.” Kyra screamed and jumped down from a tree.
I stood and look blandly at her.
“You are so dull, I was hoping, you’d flinch.” She said with disappointment in her voice.
“Stop stalking me.” I said sternly and she shrug.
“Sorry but I don’t really have a friend, I was hoping we’d be friends.” She said and shrugged again.
“You know that’s not possible.” I said.
“Why don’t you give it a try.”
“Cause, humans suck.” I said and started walking she followed me.
“Don’t say so…I enjoy being a human than a …” she paused and I glared at her.
She smiled impishly and shrugged.
“Are you hungry?” She asked and my ears jerked.
Yeah…Am very hungry….Am Not going to say that.
By the way. How did she manage to catch the deer yesterday.
Not my business though.
“Yeah, am hungry, very hungry. So get me a large meal…Now.” I ordered.
She chuckled and looked at me.
“Say it politely.” She smiled.
I groaned angrily and she quickly apologised.
“Let me hunt for you…I will whistle loudly when I’m done.” She said. And dashed off.
Making friends with her, wouldn’t be bad after all. Atleast, I will stop searching hungrily for food.
Then she whistled aloud and I followed the sound.
“Surprise…” She said and I looked around. There was nothing.
“You are kidding me right?” I yelled and stormed out.
She ran to me and held my hands.
My canine came out immediately and I bit her neck.
She groaned and I left her.
“You’ll pay for this.” She yelled as I stormed out.
I reached ‘grandma’s hut’ and knocked in the door.
No reply. I sneaked in from the window.
And sniffed in some pungent odour. I looked around the house and saw grandma, dead in the living room.
Her stomach was half eating. Probably by an animal.
Tears filled my eyes.
I warned all wolves not to near this house.
“Who dare goes against my orders.” I gnashed.
For an answer, I heard the crunch of bones.
I looked over and saw a verrryyyy big black panther. Lying at the corner of the room. Crunching the hands of my grandma.
My anger escalated and I turned into a wolf.
I growled angrily and walked menacingly to the panther who seems relaxed and crunched the bones.
I growled again to get attention. The panther suddenly glared at me, like it’s noticing me for the first time.
Then, it got up and I moved back at the enormous size.
But with determination, I jumped to it. And a fight started.

Simon was in the bathroom, while I sat in the living room, watching movie.
I heard a knock on the door. Not knock…more like a scratch.
I got to the door and opened it.
“Aarrrhhhh !!!!” I yelled as I saw a wolf front of the door.
A black wolf, which am sure to be the same as the one, who saved me the other time.
The wolf body was filled with bruises, cuts, bites and scratch. It looks like it would die sooner.
I made to close the door quickly, but the wolf looked at me pleadingly. It’s ear was faced backwards.
I looked at it sympathetically.
“Anna…are you alright.” Simon said as he started coming towards the door.
I looked at the wolf, then at Simon.
