Devin Old Backstory

Devin was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana in a wealthy household. His parents died in a car accident at an early age, so he and his little sister Hazel would inherit the insurance money. A guardian volunteered to take care of them until they were of age, as per early instruction from their parents. She is in charge of the finances, house, and has the rights to being Hazel and Devin's guardian. 

Devin's life was normal up until he was 17. 

He was working at a restaurant on a night shift. It was 1 AM, and he and Jack were closing for the night. They were the only employees in the building. Devin went outside to throw some bags in the dumpster and suddenly heard a strange scraping noise in the dark woods behind. 

He went to go investigate out of innocent curiosity. Then, when he got close enough, the noise stopped... then a large wolf pounced out of the bushes! Devin was knocked down and instinctively tried to push the beast's jaws away. Jack heard his struggling from inside the building several meters away. Devin managed to punch the wolf in its eye and started for the door. Jack walked into the doorway and saw Devin. The wolf caught Devin by his leg and he fell to the ground. 

Seeing Jack in the open doorway, he cried for help as he was slowly being dragged away on the pavement. Jack stared in absolute terror, witnessing his friend be attacked by an undiscernible monster. It growled as its teeth sank into the bone of Devin's ankle. He wanted to help, but couldn't bring himself to move forward. If he went out to try and pull Devin back, he could be dead instead. Every instinct inside of Jack screamed to get to safety.

The light from behind him cast his shadow onto his desperate friend. Jack grabbed the doorknob with a grieving expression. His sweating palms gave him a good grip. Devin was too in pain to notice and continued to cry out to him. His fingertips were bloody from scratching at the pavement, trying to pull himself from the wolf's jaws. 

Jack slowly pulled the door closed, shutting out the window of light shining on Devin. 

"Wait! Jack! ...What are you doing?? ... Don't leave me, please! C-Come back!!" 

"JACK!!!" 

The door closed, Devin pleading for him even louder than before. Seconds later, horrible screaming followed. His voice could be easily heard even through the walls of the restaurant. Jack slowly backed away from the door, trembling with a pounding heart and overrun with guilt. But now, he realized there was no help for Devin. He turned and quickly ran to the front exit to get in his car and drive away hastily.
