WOLVES DON’T CRY

GREEN RIVER KILLER

CHAPTER ONE

At first, the crest of the moon just appeared slightly different from the way it had looked before...as if it suddenly held a magic she’d never quite noticed...but then she gradually became aware of certain changes in her body and mind, especially when the full moon was visible over Sutter’s Creek, California, where she’d been living with her mother ever since the attack. Traci’s body had grown stronger and her thoughts had become very focused. Focused on dangerous things; things other than her legal studies at Stanford University...focused on ideas of revenge and various vicious ways of achieving it.

Traci Lynch had given up her studies and was now back in Sutter’s Creek, staying with her mother in the town where she’d grown up as a young girl. It had been three months since that terrible night in September. The night her heart and soul was ripped from her by a creature far crueler than fate. The night Brad Storm viciously raped her and left her for dead by the side of the road.

But Traci had survived her ordeal and she was changing. Evolving. Morphing into something new and decidedly different from the carefree young student she’d once been. With each passing day, the manifestations of her new powers had grown stronger.

She could still remember how a full moon had appeared in the night sky over Sutter’s Creek only four days after the attack. She was still heavily injured and holed up in her hospital room. Captain Joe Stanley had taken her statement earlier that same day and had promised to come back with a police book full of photographs of possible suspects in a couple of days.

For some reason, Traci was not the least bit surprised that no one had yet been arrested for the attack on her and that her rapist was still roaming the streets a free man. The man who had attacked her, and whom she later found out went by the name of ‘Brad Storm’, had physical traits and capabilities which defied all human explanation and Traci had formed the very distinct impression that it would require a superhuman effort to exact justice in her case. As good fortune would have it, Traci had been developing some of these required superhuman abilities herself lately and she felt confident that she would soon be able to act as judge, jury and merciless executioner in her own cause.

The discovery of her new powers had all started with that first full moon when she was still lying in her hospital bed and the excruciating pain was racking her thin frame.

Is there anything I can get for you? her concerned mother had asked as the last rays of the sun disappeared and darkness seeped into the little hospital room from the cold night outside.

No, I’m fine mom. Why don’t you go home and get some sleep?" she’d answered, hoping her mother wouldn’t notice the grimace of pain on her face as she struggled to get the words out.

Okay, but remember I’m right at the other end of the line waiting for your call if you need me.

Traci had forced herself to smile as she said goodbye and closed her eyes to drift off to sleep as soon as her mother had left. It was a couple of hours later when she woke up in a cold sweat; sitting up straight in her bed and immediately noticing the bright full moon shining through the hospital window. She remembers feeling strong and
