The little girl our heroes seek is on her way out of Branson. Her hood hiding her face from onlookers, the same hoodie flapping in the wind as she ran. She had her regular sword in a tight grip. She was running through the woods; close enough to the road so she can see it, far enough away so that none can see her.
She doesn't know how or why, but ever since she ran from that monster in the woods, she can see things no one else can. She's stronger, faster, more athletic, and she sees the sins of those around her. She sees them as the dark creature she confronted in the woods. The wolf. She saw it everywhere. And it wants to kill. It wants to keep purity in the world, by wipping those sinners off of it. The creature was inside of her. And it used her to do it. She can hear the scary whispers it says. She only used the weapon provided to kill the creatures that surround her all the time. She saw mommy turn into the creature. She saw her recent past. Her kissing someone other than daddy.
She doesn't want to scare her brother, or Mrs. Grossman her tutor. The wolf visits her in her sleep every now and then. The more scared she became, the bigger it got. She loves her brother, but the Wolf doesn't. And it whispers that he will kill her if she didn't kill him. All this time she has only seen one person at the times the wolf has visited her. But that girl is not important. She has a world to justify, starting with the closest big city there is. Greenville, Missouri. The Wolf demands it. And she still has a long way to go.
But deep down, she wants to be left alone. Why won't the Wolf just leave her alone?
Why?
