A cape coloured in blood,
her eyes a piercing blue,
her brown hair long and flowing
A forgotten tale told anew.

She is no longer a girl,
youth has found her finally,
but this isn't a story,
of a happy adolescent variety.

She was a girl, who trusted and loved,
who ventured into unknown with curiosity, looking over and above.
She wanted to see more than what was on the surface,
her intuition askew and intentions unnoticed.

The world to her held magic and the people did too,
everyone was  bright no darkness flourished
but even light can cast shadows,
only to her do those shadows not exist.

So when he stepped into her sights,
her life changed for the worst,  even though she thought for the better.
His piercing eyes held love,
his caring meant comfort,
his manner said i'm here for you,
and his word said trust.
And in a world where everything has been turmoil, and all she needed was real love,
she stepped into his arms,
claws retracted,
eyes wide,
teeth gleaming,
The wolf.
