Maggie Grey
Maggie handed the funeral director a check and walked outside. Feeling completely out of her element she looked around and walked slowly to her car. At home she waited patiently for all of her parents' friends to leave the house. The house felt so empty without them. Her dog, Fluffy was a huge black lab that was anything but Fluffy who stayed by her side and licked everyone that came near her. He was her last link to her old life. After everyone left she went upstairs and changed out of her black dress and slipped into her jeans a tank top and her running shoes.
"Come on Fluff, Let's go for a run."
Darting down the stairs her dog bounded after her. Slamming the backdoor as she ran out she headed up into the rugged terrain behind her parents house. She ran and ran harder still and when darkness fell she stopped and sat and cried for quite some time. Maggie stood back up and realized that she had run further than she had in ages and she was unsure of her surroundings. She pulled out her phone for a light and as the sound of howls filled the night she pulled Fluffy closer to her. When Fluffy whined by her side she leaned up against a tree and pulled him to her.
"Come on let's try to stay calm and quiet." Fluffy smelled something getting nearer to them. He started baring his fangs and growling. He pulled away and darted into the trees after something. Maggie took off chasing him.
"Fluffy! Stop, come back!" When she caught up to him he was encircled by three wolves. Her heart was beating out of her chest at the fear for her dog.
