~Chapter 11~

~Shadow~

When the waiter came to our table and asked what we wanted to drink, we both got mtn dew. We started to chat about school and all of that lame stuff. (too lazy to write in the conversation) When our drinks arrived, the waiter took our order, I told the waiter to make Midnight's meal special. Luckily he didn't hear what I said. We went ton to talk about what his plan is in the future. He said he wanted to marry me, and be with me forever, I blushed knowing how much he loved me. Not long after our food made it to our table. We both started to eat our dinner, and after that, it was time. 

~Midnight~

I don't have any rings for him yet, but I want to marry him, so that's the moment I get down on one knee, I reached for his paw and took it into my hand "We have been together for about a month now Shadow, And I know that you may not be ready but I am. So, will you marry me?" I'd say calm as I can. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a two rings, and said, "That was already my plan!" He kissed me and held me close,  He paid for our dinner, and we went home. My mom was home, She interrogated us about where we were, Shadow looked at me and smiled, blushing a bit. She assumed we were at a hotel, for obvious reasons, but I told her about what we did. She looked at us confused. But she congratulated us, and went to her room. I looked at my small, adorable, and amazing wolf. 

We both went to our room, I asked him if he wanted to cuddle, he said yes let me shower, I asked him if I could join him, so he could show me how he gets his fur to be so soft. We both got in the shower, he grabbed a special blend of something that he made, I asked him what it was, he said it was a special blend, he said he makes it himself. He said he would be willing to share. So he let me use some, and when we got out he had told me to very gently dry my fur, after that, my mom called us to the kitchen, she gave us ice cream, she patted my head, She asked me why my fur was so soft, She was questioning us. But we just ate our ice cream, and went to our room.

We both sat on the couch and cuddled, I started to fall asleep, with my amazing wolf. It wasn't until now that I realized, I knew he loved me as much as I hoped. I fell asleep, he was still cuddling with me, he was in my arms. Not long after, he fell asleep in my arms. We woke up the next morning, he was still with me, hiding his face into my chest. He looked adorable, My mom came in to check on us, and she saw us, "Aww" she said softly, I look at her, and say "hello" softly. She whispered that we are cute together from across the room, I tell her that he is awake, but he is just cuddling me. She said "You two should just cuddle the day away." "That's a good idea!" I respond. It was saturday, so my mom was home all day, she said she would check on us throughout the day. After a while I asked my mom if she would take Shadow and I to the jewelry store, She asked me why, I told her I have to pick up something I got for Shadow, She said yes. So Me and Shadow sat in the back of her car and cuddled, When we Arrived, I went in and got what I had made for us, It was a gold fox and wolf necklace, with an engraved crystal in the center, they are magnetic so they connected, It had the date we met, and our names engraved into it. When I got back in the car I could tell Shadow was sad, but when I sat next to him he lit up like daylight, happy as hell. I don't think he likes being away from me. I gave him his half of the necklace, he put it on, and I put mine on. 

He cuddles me close, and nuzzles into my chest. After a minute, I noticed, he wasn't acting normal, as if something was really bothering him. When we got home, I told him to go and sit on the couch, and I was gonna make him some snacks. It took a while to make them, but when I got to our room, his arms where bleeding rapidly. His arms went from a nice black with a bit of blue, and red, to pure red, I ran over to him as fast as I could, to see him crying. I went up to him and hugged him, I asked him what was wrong, he wasn't able to get any words out, I knew something was wrong. I yelled for my mom and she made her way into my room, When she saw him looking the way he is, she tried to talk to him, but he wouldn't break. He sat in my arms as me and my mom tried to talk to him. I eventually got him to speak to me, he sat close to my chest, and told me why he was feeling the way he was. He felt as though it was his fault that his parents had died, and his fault those students had been killed. It was haunting him. After he said that, my mom gave us a hug, and went to get some bandages for his arms, the wounds were very deep however. They are going to scar. I put my paw on his jaw, and lifted his head, I kissed him. He held me tighter, He stopped crying by now, but he wasn't relaxed, he was uneasy. My mom came back with the bandages and wrapped his arms up.
