Child's Play

All I know is that I was kidnapped at ten. They beat me until I was barely alive. They left me in the middle of a forest. I was only fourteen. Laying on the cold ground looking at nothing but darkness I waited for the end. How was I to expect what would happen a few hours later? I expected to die and join a peaceful realm. On the borderline of sleep and death I thought I heard the howl of a wolf. Was I going crazy or were the wolves coming to end me? Would they be my demise instead of the men who brought me?
