I was running, running as fast as my legs would allow me through the forest. Hi, I’m Paige and this is my creepy story. I was so mad at my family I ran into the forest to calm down. I was of course in a tank top, skirt, and was shoeless. I was just hiding behind the big oak tree that I built a treehouse in on my own.  3 minutes later I saw a creepy shadow creeping up on me. The shadow looked like it was holding a knife.

Chapter 1: The Psycho

I remembered that on the news there was a psychopath on the loose. I did what my instinct told me to do, RUN! I was almost all the way through the forest when the shadow caught up to me. I remembered how to fight and that I never go into the forest without a sword. I wiped the sword out of the scabbard* and turned in the direction of the shadow.

When I turned I was face to face with the ugliest mug* I have ever seen. Soon we were sparing* I would thrust and parry* I got cut by the Psycho’s stupid knife. With one arm bleeding I pressed on and continued fighting, fueled by rage and adrenaline. By dinner I was slowing down, but so was the psycho. I remembered that in my tree house I had a telephone and traps.

I ran around the psycho and in the direction of the tree house. I dialed 911 and told them my problem and location. I was setting the traps when Dot pounced on my back nearly making me wet myself. When I finished the traps we waited, we took turns sleeping and watching for the Psycho or the police. In the morning we heard a couple snaps and investigated.

The psycho was stuck in a bear trap and was hanging from a net. When the police arrived I explained the situation and showed them the freshly caught psycho. They rewarded me with a medal, and I became the CNN Hero, and got rewarded for community service. When I got home I got tons of hugs and kisses also some ice cream.

Not many people get the chance to fight a Psychopath that has a knife and survives. I am glad I did.

Chapter 2: The Wolf

One year after the Psychopath fiasco I was laying in the sun, on a blanket, reading “Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire” when I was called in for Lunch. I sighed, I knew that after lunch I will not be able to go outside. Mainly because mom was worried about another Psychopath breakout.

Dad wasn’t, he said that as long as I have my phone on me and always carry my sword and a bow and arrow I could go into the forest. When I got in I was surprised. There was a massive, beautiful, wrapped box sitting in my spot at the table. “You can open that after Lunch.” said mom. Lunch was delicious!

We had Mom’s home made mac’n cheese. I moved to the box, when I tore away the wrapping what I saw amazed me. I picked it up. It was my own ninja outfit. Along with a couple katanas! I squealed with delight and squeezed the breath out of my mom and dad. I ran to my room and tried it on. I looked beautiful, yet dangerous. I shiethed my katanas and sneaked downstairs.

I slipped outside and ducked into the forest. I ran to my treehouse and slithered up the rope ladder. I settled down into my hammock that I made for myself. Dot leaped up onto me and started purring. I started to pet him absentmindedly thinking about what to do for a thank you to my mom and dad. I called mom and told her that I will be sleeping in my treehouse that night. She was livid.

Only when I told her that I build a moat and put spikes around the treehouse did she calm down. I slepped poorly that night. I keep on hearing a wolf howl and Dot keeped on hissing at it as if saying “KEEP AWAY FROM MY GIRL, YOU MANGY MUTT!” In the morning I went adventuring. I was almost halfway through the woods when I fell into a deep hole.

A sharp pain shot up both my legs telling me that they are broken. I screamed for help but nobody could hear me. Soon I hear the patterning of large paws. I looked up when they stopped, I felt my blood freeze. Above me was a jet black wolf. I screamed again and the wolf whimpered. I was silent for 10 minutes. When I realized the wolf came to my cry.

I reached up my hand and the wolf gently took it in her mouth and tried to pull me up, but failed. She ran. I was feeling hopeless and alone, but my heart leaped when I heard the wolf’s paws again. I looked up and she had a long vine. I tied it to my waist and secured my hands on it. I felt a sudden jerk and soon I was out of that stupid hole.

I looked at my hero, her eyes were a fierce yet gentle amber. She laid down and motioned to her back with her nose. I army crawled over to her and hoisted myself onto her back. She gently stood up so I would not fall, and started to trot. I grabbed her neck so I would not fall, that is when she started to run.

Soon we were at a small cave. I slipped off of her back and yet again, army crawled. I army crawled over to to a big pile of leaves. When I settled down I inspected the damage on my legs. They were both broken from the ankles to my knees. “Parfect, now I can truly crawl and move faster.” I said. I found some very stiff sticks and vines and made some splints.*

Later I was able to call mom and tell her that I am fine. Soon my dad came to the cave to take me home. The she-wolf growled and shielded me from view. Dad whipped out his pistol and pointed it at her. “Daddy, please do not shoot my rescuer!” I shouted “What?” said my dad. “This is the wolf that got me out of a deep hole and brought me here. I would like it if I could ride her home.” said I

My dad reluctantly let me ride the She-wolf. “I think I will name you Obsidian.” I said to the she-wolf. She barked her agreement. When we were at the hospital the doctors had to keep Obsidian in my room or she would growl, bark, and howl. I rode Obsidian home and was greeted by my entire family, and my two and only friends Thomas Ehlers and Niomi Brechel. 

Chapter 3: Robber

I was laying in my bedroom with Obsidian laying next to me with a paw and her muzzle on my chest. I was just laying there watching T.V. I was confined to a wheelchair and I still have the cast on my legs from falling into a deep hole in my last adventure.

I tried to shift under the covers and get to my wheelchair so I can go to the bathroom. “grrr” Obsidian gently and softly growled. “Obsidian, I have to go to the bathroom, will you please let me?” I asked gently trying not to sound bossy or winney. Obsidian leaped off of the bed and wagged her tail. She loved potty time, for some odd reason.

When I reached for my Wheelchair she whimpered. So I got on her instead and rode to the bathroom. After I was done I took Obsidian for a little ride. We zipped through Cannon Falls and I laughed at the shocked faces of everybody contemplating a 14 year old with leg casts riding a black she-wolf.

We stopped at Cannon Bells to get Ice Cream. I got Big Muddy and I got Obsidian vanilla because dogs/wolves are severely allergic to chocolate. I also got some Ice cream for the rest of my family. When I got home the Police were there and they did NOT look happy. One officer had a muzzle* in his hand. I looked at them with a suspicious glance and asked

“Why are you here, and please put that muzzle away it is making Obsidian and I a little nervous.” After the officers put the muzzle away one said, “ We may need to take the wolf away, you do not have a permit to keep that wild animal. So please step aside and not make this harder than needed.”

I was shocked. “Incase you didn’t know this wolf saved me and is very clever. She dropped a vine down the hole that I was stuck in and pulled me out! You will not take away Obsidian.” The officers sighed then glanced at my legs that were in casts and were straddling* the she-wolf.

“Miss, Please don't do this. That is a wild animal and she needs to go.” he said. Both Obsidian and I growled with distaste. With two clicks of my tongue we were zipping through the forest at top speed. In no time at all we were at Obsidian's cave. I moved all of my things from my treehouse there. I had even enlarged the cave to make it more comfortable.

It was only when it was pitch black outside did we go back to the house. I had called dad ahead of time to tell him to leave the basement door open. But when I got to my room, there was somebody there. I saw a little flashlight in his hand. Because I have brown eyes and I hung out in the dark, I could see very well. It was a robber. 

He had on a black jumpsuit and a black ski mask. Obsidian and I were hidden in the shadows when I say his eyes. They were Lightning blue. He reached under my pillow and pulled out something pink and rectangular. I bit back a growl and my tongue. It was my WALLET! The dumb robber pocketed my wallet and started for the window.

I nudged Obsidian forward and she stalked into the room and let lose a fearsome growl. The robber jumped and whipped around and saw a 14 year old girl and a deep black wolf that was ready to wound or kill on command. He whipped out a gun and Obsidian and I bared our teeth and I snatched up my katanas.

When he cocked the gun I gave a sharp whistle and Obsidian knew what to do because I trained her. She leapt at him and slammed into his midriff. I dropped onto him and pinned his gun arm down with my knees and held the blades of my katanas to his throat as Obsidian tore through his pockets with her teeth till she lifted her head up high and proud with my wallet securely clamped between her teeth. 

She calmly stalked over to my dresser and with the help of a strong and a wooden dowel she opened one of my drawers and plopped my wallet into it. “Scratch the front doors and get the Police's attention, lead them up here to the robber and I. Now!” I said with urgency. In a blink of an eye she was barreling down the stairs and was scratching frantically at the door. I heard the door banged open and the scratching of claws and saw Obsidian standing in my doorway.

Soon the police were in my room with shocked expressions on their faces when they saw me with katanas against the robbers throat. “Crikey it is Lighting Eyes! We have him at last!” one of the officers yelped. “Thank you miss” he paused trying to figure out my name. “Scherz, Paige Scherz" I said “Well Paige I guess we could give the wolf the slip till your sixteen and get the permit for wild animals. Thank you again for capturing the thief.” said the officer.

“Your welcome. Now may I please go to sleep?” I asked with a yawn. “Of course of course. We will not bother you no longer.” 

Chapter 4: Deforestisation

I was finally out of my dratted casts and was taking a walk around the forest with Obsidian when we heard some loud buzzing. I looked at Obsidian and saw she went rigid. I laid my hand on her head. “Go find what is making the weird buzzing.” I told her. Soon we were running through the forest and saw what was making the buzzing.

It was a ton of logging machines!  I looked around for the boss or the leader, whatever you want to call him. I saw him standing over by a trailer house.  I ran over to the man and planted my feet on the ground in front of him. “HEY! This is private property! So gather your machines and leave!” I screamed in his face.

“Why?” he sneared in my face. “I have a permit that lets me do it!” “And I have a dad that works for mindot, a para and bus driver mom, and a pissed off she wolf!” I said with a growl. “With one signal she will be on top of you in a matter of seconds.” it took a few seconds for the man to contemplate this “HA” huffed the man “Yeah right.” “Want to bet?” I challenged.

I turned and did the command. The command was three fingers slashed through the air with a scream into the wind. “GROWL” said Obsidian as she pounced on the man. “YACH” yelped the man “LEAVE THIS PLACE NOW!” I screamed at the now whimpering and squirming man with discuss “OK! OK! OK! I’LL LEAVE!” the man cried.
