Krystal Mayz was the type of girl that had everything handed to her on a silver platter; however, it was mostly to make up for the sheltered life she lived. Her parents felt that by providing her with anything she desired that she wouldn’t end up with a trashy life of drugs and booze, pregnancy at a young age, the whole nine yards. Also, they felt as if they were protecting her from the horrors of the world that the media puts forth. Her parents drove many fears into her life, especially when it comes down to men. Krystal isn’t the first child her parents have, she is however, the only girl and that made Krystal easy prey for … well… just about anything horrible in this world in her parents eyes.
There is an older brother in her life and he is just as spoiled, if not more so. With him being a male, he is allowed to get away with murder and is nowhere near as sheltered. Erik has the world at his feet and chose to waste most of his youth with parties, drugs, and females. Their father wanted to pass down the family business to him, but if he keeps up this act, it might not happen. Erik in his late 20’s still lives with the parents, still feeding off them like the leech that he is. At one point in life, he tried a few times to set Krystal up with a couple friends of his, inviting her to parties and so forth. It almost worked a couple of times, till she found out it was just a game they had. Setting each other up with their sisters to make bets on who will score first. Erik does care for Krystal and won’t let anything truly harm her; it’s just sometimes he can be a real moron and rarely thinks things through. Part of him must have known she wouldn’t fall for the set up anyway. And she had to give him credit that it was with his best friends versus some strange creep that would actually abuse her.
Krystal on the other hand, didn’t allow herself to become a spoiled brat. Living a sheltered created an isolated kind of world, devoting all her time into school, variety of art and photography, creating her own business. Her parents even went as far as to buy her an over exaggerated cabin on the boarders of Andorra. This is where she spent a good part of her time when she wasn’t at the University. The cabin was just enough inside the city to make her parents happy, while isolated enough to make her happy. She has had this cabin since the age of 16, although because of school she was only allowed to stay there on weekends. When she turned 19 she moved into it officially and that was almost three years ago. Yet, her parents still have her check in every night, still treating her like a child sometimes. And over the years, it has become such a routine that Krystal never fails to check in, letting them know she is safe.
Over the last few weeks there has been the voice of a wolf in the deeper part of the woods, behind her cabin. With finals and other various projects, it took her sometime to get a few days break to attempt to hunt the wolf down, finding the perfect opportunity to use her photography skills to catch this mysterious creature in action wild and free versus the lame zoos. Of course, it took those few days to gather the nerve to wander out so far, knowing that it would take at least a good few hours to hike in where the wolf should be.
She spent most the night preparing for the hike; packing up a backpack with snacks, making sure her camera was secure, double checking everything. The excitement was too overwhelming to get much sleep, waking up hours before she intended to, still uncertain if this is truly something she should be doing. So many thoughts pounded into her as she got dressed in comfortable hiking clothes, form fitting t-shirt and some cotton workout pants and hiking shoes. She had to force herself to keep moving otherwise she’ll back out of the whole deal; finishing with braiding her long light brown tresses, taking a deep breath and headed out the door.
There were a few times where she almost turned back, fear overwhelming her, then she had to remind herself that to become one of the best photographers, one had to venture outside their comfort zones. Not to mention, this is a chance in a life time for her to break free from the restricted life her parents held her in. After sometime, the fear faded and it took a few hours before she found a small lake in a cove and decided to stop for lunch, taking some pictures of the beautiful scenery. It wasn't long before the voice of the wolf could be heard, seemingly closer than she had expected making her grab her things quickly and move towards the howls.
