Chapter 9: A sweet nightmare

The blood chilling silence of the forest was giving me the Creeps. I increase my pace, but it seems I am walking in circles. I seem to get back to where I started. The sound of a twig breaking made me know my pursuers are still hot on my heels. As busy a I was trying to evade them, I wasn't paying attention to where I was heading. I walk into a cleared part of the forest. I look around frantically for my pursuers, but they're nowhere to be found. I lean on a tree trunk closer to me, heaving out breath, I try to relax. I hear the sound of twigs being broken before my pursuers made their presence known. They are four in number. Their faces showing their anger as they stalk towards me. Unbelievable, the humans morph into wolves right in front of me. Loving a drawn werewolf is okay if they remain just drawing. Seeing the real deal is not just okay, it's not okay at all. With their deadly fangs showing, they approach me. I take a step backward, trying to mentally figure out a way to get the jelly outta here before I become wolf dinner. I envision what will be written on my obituary it will probably be "poor wolf lover eaten by a wolf. As I laugh at that. It will make a good cover story. The approaching wolves stop in their tracks, confused about the reason for my laughter. They are probably asking each other," Who knows a dinner laughs before being eaten?" I was so focused on the wolves that I didn't notice the presence of another until the wolves turned towards the intruder. It was so dark I couldn't make out the face of the person but, I could have sworn by my avorite movie that the person looked familiar and might I add, quite attractive ( not that I was checking him out, my mind just thought he was and I had no option but to agree with it. My mind can be damn stubborn if it wants). The WoWolvertonsrowled a rily at the intruder. *I don't blame them one bit. If it were to be you, wouldn't you be if someone interrupted your dinner? As for me, I will be if I am the one, but in this case am quite happy they were interrupted since I am the dinner in question and I am too young to die. I can give you a million reasons why if you ask, but since you didn't, I won't tell* as he walks towards us. As one, they charge towards him. My eyes boggled *trying to escape from their socket* when the man turned into a wolf. Yeah, he turned into a wolf, so does that mean werewolves aren't a legend? I know I think the existence, but I don't think it did exist, but I was hoping it did exist, not that the three wolves didn't make me consider the fact initially. The wolf he turned into was no other than the Grey wolf I have grown fond of drawing. I thought my mind was playing tricks on me till he turned, and his golden eyes shone in the darkness. Yeah, I mentally fist pumped, my guardian wolf is here to save the day. Instead of taking flight, my feet decided to stay where they were. I chanced a look at the battle arena and was pleased to discover the Grey wolf was winning the battle, but my happiness was short-lived when I recalled that he was the person following me earlier. Maybe he was hunting me, but when he saw others trying to eat his dinner, he became possessive, which led to the fight. Turned to run, but wasn't able to as my feet were stuck rooted to the ground, preventing me from my flight. It didn't take long for ye, grey wolf, to defeat the others. The Grey wolf stalks towards me, but before he reached where I was, he shifted back to his human form. Although he was nearer to me, I still couldn't make out his face;ce, his face was blurry, and he sniffed me as he turned my head to the side. " mine!!! He growls before he sinks his teeth into my neck. I wake up on a drenched bed. This is the third time I've had this dream, but each of them has had different locations. The first time, I was at a cemetery, the second time I was in an abandoned warehouse, but they all have the same ending. I can't call it a nightmare. Nightmares don't end nicely. His teeth on my flesh was the nicest feeling I have ever had. I sometimes hope it will happen to me in real life and not in my dreams. I know I sound weird, but I wish Dave were a werewolf, then I would only hope their goddess chooses me as his mate. But like all wishes, I know it won't come to pass. My mom's alarm brought me back from the wish world I was in. I checked the time and discovered it was only six. I still have almost an hour before school. I decided to stay till seven before Irosee, but my rumbling stomach had other things in mind. I rose from bed, took my bath, and walked downstairs to eat breakfast without bothering to wear my clothes. I wore my bathrobe. My mom always gets the early and is already preparing breakfast. "Morning, Mom," I greet. "Morning," she muttered absently. I wonder what must be bogging her. My mom went about her cooking without bothering to ask how my night was. Ohh,h mothers, sometimes you don't know what to do with them. As she wasn't ready to initiate a conversation, she decided to start one. "So, how was your night, Mom?" "My night was okay, "she replied as she resumed her cooking without bothering to ask how mine was. Always a sucker for her attention I couldn't let it be. "Mine was awesome, thanks for asking. " I can't see the sarcasm dripping. That got her attention. "Darlin, I'mam sorry for not asking how your night was, my mind was occupied, but I promise I will clear a space for you," she tried to joke. "Mom, what's wrong with you? You seem off". She sighs, obviously wishing she wouldn't have to answer the questions, but she knows it's futile as I'm an insistent person. "Mybossaskedmeout" she said it so fast I couldn't make out what she was saying. "I don't understand. Can you please try to talk slowly?" "Umm..... I.... We..... Ok.... Ummm... My... Umm... Boss..... Ummm.... Asked..... Me.... O.. Out," she fidgeted. Her boss asked her out? And I know she likes him, I have seen how flushed her face was when we met him on one of our grocery shopping, since she liked him, and he does, if asking her out is any indication, then why dodoeshee lolookcared? I want her to be happy, a,s this is the first time she has liked someone since my dd, a nd she has devoted all her free time to me. I'd be a selfish bastard if I didn't support her. I look at my mom and smile. That's great news!!! So why do you look scared?" "You are not angry, aren't you thinking of dating someone?" She asks, not believing my words. "Come on, Mom, how can I be? You need to have fun. I haven't seen you having any. I won't prevent you from dating someone. And besides, I'm about to go to college, and you will be alone if I move to campus. I'm happy you are giving someone a chance. Mind you tell that boss of yours to treat you okay, if not his got some fist coming his way." "Oh, I will tell him, but don't worry, he knows his place...." The ringing of a doorbell interrupts my mom, "I should probably check who's knocking at this time. "
