...though admittedly, I haven't seen it yet. It's dusk now, I won't see it for another couple minutes, I'm afraid. :(

I'm working on a new story, haven't thought of a good title for it yet, though. Maybe "Forest of the Wolf" but that's sounds cheesy, like a 40's horror movie. "Wolf Forest" doesn't sound very good either. Ugh! OH. I know, and I know just how the cover would look. "Alpha, Beta, & Omega" Yes!

The plot: Two sisters, Anna and Gabrielle, have the ability to transform into wolves. By night, they are with a wolf pack and do all manner of wolf-like things. By day, the live in an uninhabited forest, reminscing of days past and dreaming of days to come. But things get sticky quickly for the sisters, and the pack is on the verge of an every-wolf-for-herself rebellion. And one unfortunate mistep forces Anna, quite literally, over the edge...

The characters:
Anna--twelve years old, adventurous, agile. Has a real knack for landing in sitatuations that usuaully end with her being injured, and her sister then has to patch her up. (This is how the books starts.)

Gabi--Anna's older sister. Basically a more mature and level-headed version of Anna, though she wouldn't say no to a little adventure herself.

Their mother, Evelyn--died when Anna was 9. Their father was never in the picture, I don't want to complicate things.

The pack--the alpha, Gabi's mate. A regular plain old wolf. There's also the beta, four unranked wolves (yes, that's how it really is in nature), and an omega. They all appear as real wolves--yet there's no real way to tell, is there? ;)

The setting: A lush forest somewhere far far away. It's late spring, the weathr is gorgeous as it should be in any novella.

Things your probably wondering about: When Gabi and Anna are in wolf form, they have neither the mindframe of a human nor an average wolf. It's some where between unnaturally genius wolf to a human with strong, irrestible wolf instincts. This depends on what they're doing--if they are just resting with the rest of the pack, they will be in a more human state of mind. If they are being pursued or are hunting, instinct takes over, making their thoughts less human and more lupine.

Excerpt: "Each girl whispered a quiet wish under their breath, softly casting their desire to the night. Their voices were inaudible to all but the sycamores towering above them and the crescent moon hovering overhead.
A gentle, caressing breeze blew, isolated to the figures in the moonlight, sending the sisters’ hair to form a halo above their heads.
Their wish was repeated back to them on the lips of the wind, and the sycamores and the stars and moon and the very earth beneath their feet whispered back to them, I grant you your wish."

I'm off to look at the full moon now. :)
