MARIA

A girl named Maria was a cute and a clever girl . She was also beautiful . She was a student and a researcher . She was searching about scary topics . She was in love with a famous researcher . But , that researcher was older than Maria . And one boy , maybe it could be better to say a wolf was in love with her , too . But she didn ’ t know that . She was only thinking about her research .
A boy named Jack was a handsome but a bad boy . He was not actually a boy ; he was a wolf . He was a very bad wolf . He was a very bad boy and wolf . He had the ability to be a human or a wolf whenever he wanted . He had the ability like some other wolf boys . And he was in love with our character beautiful Maria . But Maria didn ’ t know that . Wolves were a famous research topic and researchers were searching about wolves a lot . Maria was researching about wolves too . Wolves were her favorite research topic .
It was Jack ’ s first day at school . He was looking for a friend . He was also looking for Maria . Finally , he saw Maria . Jack was very excited . There were boys next to Jack . But they were not talking to him . They were talking with each other . Jack was thinking how he could go and talk to Maria . Maria was talking to no one . She was just reading a book . Jack slowly walked towards her . He was very afraid . He was going to talk to Maria . Jack was looking up things about Maria before he came to school that year . He was searching about Maria ’ s life , Maria ’ s family , Maria ’ s hobbies ... Everything about Maria . Jack started to talk with Maria . Maria was very clever so she didn ’ t talk much with Jack because she was meeting him for the first time . They did go to class together .
Jack talked with Maria . But Maria didn ’ t talk to him . Class started . Jack was sitting next to Maria . Maria closed her book and started to look around . When she started to talk with him ; she started to talk about the research that she has done . Then she started to talk about wolves .
At that moment , Jack was afraid . He knew a lot of things about wolves . That was very normal because he was also a wolf . It was his choice to be a wolf or a boy . Jack and Maria talked about wolves during that first lesson . Every year ’ s first lessons were used for meeting each other . Jack and Maria did that . They talked about wolves . Jack was very happy . He talked with Maria . Maria liked Jack . She thought they could be good friends .
Every day they talked about wolves and some other topics . Maria ’ s grades started going down . She was only thinking about wolves and Jack . Jack knew a lot of things about wolves . Maria was researching a lot . She was not studying . She was only searching . Only searching about wolves . She was also not looking after herself .
She became dirty . She was not sleeping because of her research . Jack was the same . He was also dirty and he was also not sleeping . They were searching things together . They were not sleeping , just searching day and night . One day they wanted to go and see these wolves closer , but Jack didn ’ t want that , because he could be a wolf whenever he wanted . He was afraid of that , and that he might turn into one .
At this point , Maria was not beautiful or cute , or clever anymore . She was ugly , she was dirty , and she wore the same clothes every day . Eventually , Maria convinced Jake to go and they went to a jungle . They entered it . Jack and Maria walked slowly together . Wolves were there . Jack saw a wolf . Not just one . He saw many wolves . And then his fear came true , he accidentally became a wolf in front of Maria . She was surprised and also afraid . Jack ran away . Maria was now all alone . One wolf came from behind Maria and bit her . Maria was transformed into a wolf . A wolf girl .
Jack found Maria . She was a wolf at that moment . Jack was not sure if she will turn back into a human or not . But she again became a human . But she was going to be a wolf girl until the end of her life . Like Jack . Maria couldn ’ t be the same Maria anymore . She was ugly , bad , and wolf . She couldn ’ t just go back and be the same Maria she was before .
She was very angry at Jack because he had changed Maria ’ s life . This was a bad change , too . From that point forward Maria and Jack didn ’ t go to school anymore . They were still doing research , but not about wolves . Instead , they were doing research on humans , which they wanted to be again .
