When The Wolf Howls(On Hold)

Chapter 10

"Danny?" I whispered, gingerly petting his furry ears.

His head darted up and he laid his ears flat against his head. He stood up quickly and turned to run away.

" No! Don't go!" I pleaded, reaching out a hand to him.

His tail swishes at my voice. He looks at me and whimpers. My heart melts at the sight of his sad eyes and his sad whimper. I walk over to him and gave him an awkward hug.

He only looked at me sadly, then ripped himself away from my arms and darted away, ashamed.

I looked sadly at his disappearing form. I sighed, not sure what to do now.

Why do I feel this way? Like I just want to be near him? He is a wolf!

" Danny." I whispered and sit down against the large tree.

I wish to befriend a wolf. I guess maybe I just did...

I look around, taking in the forest, but my loneliness doesn't last long.

I hear footsteps coming towards me, the same direction he had run towards. I glanced over and saw Danny standing there, his hands in his jean pockets. He looked at me awkwardly, and sat down beside me.

" You have no idea how lonely it is. Being what I am." He said, his voice hoarse. He brought his knees to his chest rested his head on them. My heart beat quickened at the depressing statement, and I wanted to give him a hug.

" But I know what it's like to be lonely." I said back, staring at him intently.

He looked at me. " How did you know it was me?" He asked, suddenly changing the topic.

" Your eyes." I replied, still watching him. I noticed the sudden change in topic, but I didn't press for more.

He laughed nervously. " Yeah, I guess that part is obvious." He looked away from me and ran his hand through his hair.

Silence drifted between us, not quite awkward but not quite comfortable either. I felt like he wanted to say something, but he was afraid to say it.

" If you want to say something, say it." I state, never taking my eyes off of him. I search his eyes for any clues, but his expression is blank.

Oh snap, its going into a different point of view. Brace yourselves.

Danny

I looked into her beautiful hazel eyes, never getting enough of the color. Light brown along the edges that turned blue and green towards the center. Golden flecks flashed as she looked at me.

Something about this girl... The moment I saw her I knew...

I thought back to when I was a kid, and my mom told me of a legend about werewolves. They knew who their soul mate was the instant they looked at that person. At the time, she had no idea I was a werewolf; she thought it was all fantasy. Then again, she never had any idea my dad was one until she found out about me.

I was a half breed, yet I had everything of a full blood, and a little extra to boot. I still can't explain why.

I looked at her again, marveling at her beauty. I thought she was the most beautiful girl I had even laid my eyes on, and I had looked at a lot of girls. However, none of them had the effect this girl had on me. She pulled me towards her, and I doubt she knew it. She captivated me in every way, and my protective instinct went through the roof when I thought about her.

I wanted to tell her we were destined to be together, but I knew she wouldn't take to that news too well. After all, we barely knew each other and had met only a week ago.

" If you want to say something, say it." She says, still watching me. I feel my wolf spirit whimper inside my chest, begging me to just tell her.

Not right now though. She has to get used to me, I want to know she won't reject me. I felt my wolf whimper at the thought of her rejecting us, and it hurt me too just thinking about it. So I would wait as long as it took.

" What's it like? Being a wolf?"

Her question caught me off guard and yanked me out or my thoughts.

Does she not know she is one too? Of course not, other wise she would of been able to defend herself against the pack. Strange. I wonder if her wolf is dormant. It doesn't happen often, but when you are without a pack it can be hard to awaken your wolf by yourself.

" Oh... Uhh... It's... hard to explain." I stammer, trying to think of the right words. The weird look she gives me causes my heart to quicken with hurt.

" It's not that easy to tell someone how it's like being a wolf." I say defensively. I finally look away.

I wish I could look at her without wanting to be closer to her. To hug her, hold her, to show her I care.

" Okay...?" She says questioningly. " What about your family?"

I feel sadness wash over me at the mention of my family.

" They... I don't want to talk about them." I whisper.

Hey, they are finally talking! About time am I right? *nudge nudge* *wink wink* :P
