Hello everyone! This is my first fanfic so please enjoy it! There might be some slight changes to the story. But, I'll make it as good as possible okay?

Prologue: Canista's Wish

" Hey, Canista!" a voice cried. I look up from where I was standing. There, my friends were waving at me. I smile back and run towards them at my speed. Well, I am not skinny or a typical super model-looking girl. My body is kind of chubby and more on the muscle side. I'm not fat, I'm just stocky. Even though my most of my friends are younger than me, about half of them are taller or even close to my height.

Hey, at least I am not dwarf size!

" So," I panted as I meet up with them. " What do you guys want to do?"

" How about a game of football?" my tall friend Kristine suggested.

" You know that I'm not good with it!" my other friend Tiana cried.

" Girls, let Canista decide!" my small friend Alina told her. I gave her a grateful smile. I told them that football sounds nice. Unfortunately, there were nine of us so it is decided that I'll be the referee. It's not like I don't want to play. I wanted to but lately, I can't stop thinking about things lately. If you are wondering on what's on my mind, I'll tell you.

It has been the school holiday. Not only that, I had graduated from highschool three days ago. So what's my problem? It's the future.

Now, everyone is looking forward to a bright future, yes? Me too but it's the career and ambition that leads me to my future. I want to be a zoologist. You know, a person who studies animals' behaviour, lifestyle and so much more. I love animals. In fact, I am fascinated by all of them. Especially wolves.

How wonderful it'll be to see a real wolf. I've only seen them on Animal Planet and my books. They are so beautiful, majestic and mysterious. They are not vicious like what most people say. I guess that's why my grandfather named me Canista instead of names like Hidayah, Akmal or Nurul.

Lame right? Sometimes I wonder why my parents never approved of my career. You must have a passion if you want to work, right? Oh, and the fact that I am a muslim makes it complicated. You see, we muslims can't touch dogs and this is the reason why my parents never let me have pets.

I was so in deep thoughts, that I didn't here my friends calling my name. " Canista!"

I snap out of my thoughts. " Huh? What happened? Who won?" Everyone was looking at me as if I had another head.

" Canista, are you alright?" my best friend, Adrian asked. " Yeah," I replied. " I think I am."

" Wanna talk about it?"

I shook my head. In the end, we decided to continue the game tomorrow. I want to clear my mind off things. Especially my parent's suggestions!

Why can't you be a teacher?

A muslim should not touch or have sympathy for dogs!

" I wish I can see real wolves," I wished woefully. " I want to save them too because animals are going to disappear soon. I don't want that to happen."

Suddenly, I didn't see where I was going. WHAM! I accidentally got slammed by the lamp post. As I fell from the blow, I had one thing on my mind:

Wolves.

And that's the prologue? How was it? I hope you are up for the next chapter!
