Girl Among the Wolves (Under Editing)

Book 1 Finale

Nathan's P.O.V  

Of course Mrs. Sanchez had the right to take Ariel, she had custody, she was her daughter.  But when she left I felt like a chunk of my heart was missing, and I couldn't function right.   It was like walking on hot coals with only one shoe.  

I didn't feel like doing anything.  I just felt like, nothing.  It was like being a zombie.  I was on earth but I felt like I was on another planet.  

I got up from the table remembering the breakfasts Ariel and I would share.  I sat down on the couch, then got up again.  Ariel and I had layed on the couch together, snuggling up to each other in the cold of the coming autumn.  I could still fell her warmth next to me.  

I went up to my room and sat on my bed.  Ariel and I would lay under the covers and I would put my arms around her.  I remembered the first night we slept in the same bed, she had put my arms around her.  I could feel my eyes sting and I knew I was about to cry.  But I was a man and men don't cry.  Yes they do!  I thought letting it all out.  

The waterworks were through and I went downstairs again.  I sat against the door laying my head back not thinking of anything.  It was better to be indifferent than depressed, I decided.  

I jumped half a foot when I heard the doorbell.  My hand trembled as I reached for the door.  I closed my eyes saying a quick prayer and opened the door.  

I suddenly was knocked to the ground with a bone-breaking hug.  I instantly knew it was Ariel.  It was that sixth sense people talk about.  My eyes shot open.  

It was Ariel, in the flesh.  She looked up at me with her sparkling hazel eyes.  Her smile outshined the sun.  A weird emotion struck me in the chest like a big dose of reality as I stared at her in disbelief.  It was a spark like lightning that told me, I loved this girl.  

We had been through everything, fun times, non-fun times.  I felt a flutter in my heart and I knew that I could never let her go.  I would follow her to the end of the earth and jump off it for her.  

I looked back through the doorway.  Mrs. Sanchez and Ariel's twin, Ella, stood half-smiling.  I knew they wanted her happy, but they also wanted her for themselves.  

We got up and walked over to tem.  "You brought her back?" I asked still shocked that she would hand over her daughter.  Mrs. Sanchez nodded.  

"I took her to a therapist and he said everything is fine with her.  I looked into her eyes and knew that this is where she wanted to be." She gestured her hand to the little house.  I gave her a massive hug.  She held up her hand.  "But I have some conditions."  Oh, boy, conditions.  

"Ella and I will visit every weekend.  You are not allowed to do any funny business until you are married.  You have to take her to college and," Mrs. Sanchez leaned in to whisper to me, "Break my daughter's heart, I'll break your face.  Understand?"  I nodded faking fear. 

Mrs. Sanchez gave Ariel a quick hug and left smiling.  

I looked back at Ariel.  "Does this count as funny business?"  I grabbed her shoulders and kissed her on the lips.  She kissed back.  I felt our spark like electricity.  She shook her head with a smile.
