RUNNING WITH WOLVES

She was only fifteen years old when the unthinkable happened. A month prior her father had been attacked on a hunting trip he and his buddies took up to the cascades and him being the soul-survivor of what was told to her as a horrifying experience. That night he was grabbing her up while throwing things to her in order for her to 'get away from him, quickly'. Confused, she did what was told and proceed to leave their Bourbon St. flat in the lovely city of New Orleans where she was born and head out, only to be attacked herself several blocks away near Lafayette Cemetery.

The smart thing was one of the items he did pack her happened to be his Colt 1911 .45 ACP loaded with silver rounds. Her, unaware at the time, found herself on the ground as the large, growling beast bit into her left leg right above her ankle. Grabbing the gun, with the absolute horror of the situation feeding and fueling the adrenaline rush she felt, she fired three rounds right at the creature and was able to make her escape. Hours later, and her being in the hospital suffering from minor blood loss, a horrible animal bite to her leg and some cuts and scrapes, the news showed her a man found shot to death near the location she was just at: Her Father.  Needless to say, that's how she entered into the life she knows now. 

Throughout the years, the once child prodigy was able to come up with adequate ways of survival. Always been a tech-wiz as she was called, she found herself making enough money through various underground agencies to keep her financially stable. Keeping off the radar, per se, required her to also quickly learn the art of identification forgery as well as other various tools to help her further her quick emancipation into adulthood. She was able in the end to attend college, mainly the Massachusetts Institute of Technology . Graduating quickly and at the head of her class with a Masters in software and hardware development, she was able to use her newfound skills helping her with her daily life. This continues today.

As for what she had became....

The transition from human to wolf was tough, especially for one by themselves in the world. Eventually Dare did meet up with a few others while going north to meet up with her cousin, MJ. Outside of anyone else, MJ was the one that knew all about what Dare was, though her greatest fear hadn't still been realized -- she never took on what form her father was. As she grew older, the impulse control she held with the beast inside of her now seemed to grow as well helping her to keep herself in check. She overall knew she was stronger now and different with no hope of ever going back to what she was before. Cultivating this with the immense guilt and pain surrounding her own father's death, Dare had to leave her family yet again and roam. Traveling through out the world taking and various jobs helped.This also was gaining her access to try and discover through various lore what it was she was given and just where it had all come from; a true mystery even ongoing now though she had picked up many different theories. 

This day and age despite exploring her more talented and creative side in music, she still continues to do her various work through software coding and electronics and even to the point of finding different but suiting jobs that hold her interest. As long as she remains busy, she always believed it helped her cope better. However, still to this day she'll always keep that .45 her father gave her.. just incase she ever needed something of that degree again. Welcome to that paranoia.
