The Beast Maker
Trip across the pond
As Jake regains consciousness he sees the girl form his dream. She is frowning at him and he feels confused. He sees that she is about to speak and he can't wait to hear if her voice is as beautiful as her face. "Why the hell were you in that pit?" Not the words he was expecting but lovely all the same. He had to try and remember his situation as clearly as he could. It all started when his grandfather died unexpectedly. He lived with his grandfather after his mum went missing when he was 6.
His grandfather was a great man who taught Jake everything he needed to know. The only thing he never told Jake was who his father was. Jake's grandfather always said that he would tell him when he turned 16. Unfortunately, one tragic night his grandfather was found stabbed in a park on his way home. The medical examiner was at a dead end when the wound wasn't the shape of a knife. The only thing the doctor could compare it to was a large wolf fang. After this tragic attack Jake was forced to live on the streets due to his lack of money. He lived rough for 2 years until he started hearing stories of people who knew him being killed. All violently and all shortly after they'd met with him. He ran from his home towon of Oxford and headed cross country towards London. On his journey he took shelter in a cave on a cliff side. He was taught by his grandfather to always find the back of the cave and rest there. He walked slowly through the darkness. A perpetual darkness that was suffocating him. He was shuffling along the wall when he suddenly dropped down a large crevasse. He fell for a few minutes and then hit the ground with a bone-shattering thud. He painfully picked himself up and almost immediately noticed the large creature looming over him.
He told this story to Sophia and she said "You are in serious danger Jake. You have to come with us." Jake stared at her blankly and could only say "Go with you where?" Sophia's face slowly twisted into a smirk. "America!"

Thank you. You have no idea how much it means for me to hear something like that
