Raina

I opened my eyes to the sound of my mom banging on the door.Come on wake up! I reluctantly pulled off my warm covers. Another day. I smiled and realized today wasn't just any day. Happy birthday Raina! mom calls from the door. I swiftly dress and dash down the hall, with my suitcase. My mom, dad and brother were waiting for me, all with huge smiles on their faces. Are you ready to go? Dad asked. Not yet, remember what you told me? Giving an evenly matched smile of my own. Ah... Yes. How could I forget. He pulled out a present from behind his back, giving it to me with shaky hands. I quickly unwrap it, opening the box inside. A heart charm necklace! I love it! Thank you so much dad! I knew you would. Did u pack every thing u need? Of course! So we all got into the car after loading everything. Which was a lot. Every one was excited to take this trip. We are going to the cabin near the place where my parents first found me. Yes I knew I was adopted. I mean u could just flat out tell. I look completely different from them. However the fact doesn't change how I feel towards my parents or older brother. If anything it only strengthens my resolve, because they saved me. I was abandoned in a field surrounded by tree's that were infested with Wolves. I remember the story they told me. About hearing howling in the distances, while they were out hunting. They didn't get very far though, because they found me not even a mile from their cabin. Around this time of the year, every year, on my birthday, we go back to the cabin to remember the day they found me. Early spring when the wind has a bit of a chill, but the sun is warm and the ground is soft, with freshly blooming flowers. The cabin is owned by Mom and dad so we can come here when ever we want. We arrived quicker than I thought. We helped each other unpack the car and set up the decorations. The cabin was a bit dusty to. It's only ever used on holidays or my birthday. I'm the one who chooses to come here every year for my birthday. I'm so drawn to this place. It's like the woods here call out to me inviting me in. even now I can feel my heart longing to take an exciting hike through it, off trail. I've never done it for fear of getting lost. When I was younger, but today is going to be the day I try it. I just have a feeling I could never be lost in these woods. Almost as if it's my true home. I sit out side on our porch. waiting for supper to finish. The smell of grilled steak was wafting through the air, making my stomach growl vigorously. I kept breathing in the beautiful aroma until something dank and musty wafted in as the wind picked up. In instinct I jerked my head towards the Direction the smell originated. In the woods I could see something move. It had an odd color of fur. like reds, grays, whites, and blacks all battling for dominance over the other. I don't know how I was able to see let alone smell the animal. The tree line had to be several yards away.
