"Last night, I had a dream about a wolf.
In my dream, I walked alone in a dark forest. Tall trees blocked the moonlight. My feet sank into wet leaves with every step. I did not know where I was going.
Then I heard it. A howl. Long and lonely. It froze my blood.
I stopped walking. My heart beat like a drum.
Two yellow eyes appeared between the trees. Then another pair. And another. Three wolves stepped into the small clearing.
The big one was gray and black. He was almost as tall as me. His teeth shined white in the dark. He growled low in his throat. A deep rumble, like thunder far away.
"Don't run," a voice in my head said. "Running makes it worse."
But my legs did not listen. I turned and ran.
Branches hit my face. Roots grabbed my feet. I could hear them behind me. Paws on wet ground. Fast. So fast. Getting closer.
I dared to look back. The big wolf was right there. His mouth was open. His breath was hot on my neck.
I screamed and ran faster. My lungs burned. A river appeared in front of me. Wide and black.
No bridge. No way across.
I turned around. The wolves stood in a line. Six now. They moved slowly toward me. No rush. They knew I was trapped.
The big wolf walked in front. He stopped two steps away. His yellow eyes looked into mine.
Then he spoke. Not with his mouth, but inside my head.
"Why do you fear us?" he asked. "You are one of us."
I looked down at my hands. Fur. Claws. I had paws.
Then I woke up.
I was in my bed, sweating. My hands were normal human hands.
But my heart still beat like paws on wet ground."
