Hello fandom! :3 Please REVIEW and tell me if the characters (besides Leilani) are OOC!

Update (May 5, 2019): I wrote this in the start of eighth grade when I was fourteen years old, so read at your own risk.

Leilani's POV

"Leilani! Run!"

"No! I'm not leaving you!"

"Leilani, go! We'll be fine!"

"I- I love you!"

I regret running.

Maybe if I hadn't run, I would be dead. But I'm not. My parents are dead, so's my sister Marcy. She would be 10 now... it was June, wasn't it? I had just turned 14 yesterday. I got out of bed and changed into a t-shirt and shorts. Was it Catherine Day? No... a few more days. Catherine Day is the day my best friend, Catherine Casey, the only person who truly knows me, would bring me some stuff for the next month.

Catherine is my best friend, and she is rich! She can afford to get me clothes every week, even every day, but I don't need them that bad. She also brings books she liked but doesn't read anymore, sometimes money and whatever I really need/want. I have a secret route to Catherine's house, and her room is in the back, plus I have a key. Catherine usually comes to find me in the woods every few days, and she quickly teaches me school stuff before she has to go back to her higher-society life.

I walk over to my mirror. Catherine and I had found an old shack, still sturdy, and we had renovated it. It's where I live. I've got my bed, closet, a table and a mirror. I brush my hair out, and I guess I could be considered as a 'wild girl.' I have brown hair with natural highlights, and it is easy for me to blend in if people come along, which they rarely do.

You might ask why I don't reveal myself to the world. I just don't trust people. They burnt my house and killed my family. I hate most people, and the only person I trust is Catherine. She has been my best friend since first grade. I grab a ponytail holder and tie my hair in a side braid, and I look like Katniss Everdeen with lighter colored hair. Except I don't have a bow and arrows, I have a spear. I don't hunt, though- it just gives me security when I'm alone.

I walk outside without my spear and sing a few notes. I was in choir, and it was one of our songs, and I altered it. A wolf howls in return, and she runs over. She's a silvery-colored wolf, and silver is my favorite color. Her name is Luna, and she's my other best friend. I trust her. She and I walk quietly to an apple tree, and I grab an apple. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, right?

I bite into the apple, and I keep walking. Today is Saturday, and Catherine and her mom, Amelia Jenkins, would be at some fashion show. Boring! So I had the day to do what I wanted. I had swum in the lake yesterday, and I probably will again tonight. I walk with Luna around the forest, and I know all of it. I've lived here for about two years.

Snap!

I instantly jump into the bushes with Luna. I wish I had my spear, but I don't. I hide, and Luna is silent. I see two men: one wearing green and one wearing blue. I wait. I had told Catherine that if I ever vanished, to check back in a few days, then again, and if I wasn't back by the third time, she should assume someone took me or I was dead. But I'd fight before that happened, and Luna would help me. Her entire pack would help me.

"Look!" the guy in green whispered, pointing at a wild turkey. "Martin! Turkey!"

"Turkey?" the guy in blue, Martin, asked, looking at the turkey. "Turkey!"

They couldn't kill the turkey. I'd hurt them. It was one thing for Luna to kill an animal for her food, but it wasn't okay to kill a turkey in the wild. I wasn't vegetarian, but I only ate animals that were raised on a farm, like those turkeys you see in a Thanksgiving dinner.

"What's this?" the guy in green asks, stepping close to the bush I'm in. I gasp quietly, and he pulls the bush back.

"Who are you?" we both ask.

I stand up, and I'm almost as tall as him, an inch or less shorter. I fold my arms and Luna sticks by my side, growling.

"I'll go first. I'm Chris Kratt, and this is my brother Martin," the guy says, smiling. "And you?"

"No offense, but I don't really tell my name to strangers," I reply. Kratt... They were either animal rescuers or animal killers. I didn't see any guns, but that didn't mean they didn't have them.

"Oh... well, who's your wolf friend?" Chris asks, pointing at Luna.

I look down at Luna, who seems to nod, as if saying, It's okay, tell him. "Her name's Luna, and she's my best friend. If you even think of hurting her..."

My threat hangs in the air. I cross my arms, then notice that both brothers look apalled.

"We'd never...?" Martin begins. "We're the Wild Kratts."

"Never heard of you." It slips out of my mouth before I can even think. Now they'll ask why, and pry and pry and pry! I am so smart!

"Really?"

They both shrug, and I sigh. "Okay, I haven't been fair. Tell me about the... Wild Kratts."

"We're creature rescuers," Chris explains. "We help animals wherever, and we get creature power discs, which our technician, Aviva, programs for us. She's a great inventor." He blushes.

I smirk. "And your girlfriend?"

"N-no!" Chris exclaims.

Martin rolls his eyes. "Bro, everyone knows. Even she knows. Anyways, we use the Creature Power Suits with the discs. We insert the disc, touch the animal and we're now that animal. And we have all its Creature Powers."

"Cool," I reply, actually interested. "That's really cool."

"Okay, you know about us, now can you tell us about you?" Chris asks.

I bit my lip and sighed. "You guys don't seem bad. I'm..."

I hesitate. Should I give a fake name or my real one? Will they search me and return me to the authorities? I don't know if I can trust them. They sound nice, but so did Regina in Mean Girls... God, I haven't watched a movie or TV in two years.

"Okay." I begin again. "Promise to keep this secret, okay?"

"We promise."

This is it... the big reveal. "I'm Leilani Richardson."
