My Girl, My Mate, My Life [Official Story]

Alexa

Looking at him through the fence is torture; I want to be by his side, not on the other side of this stupid fence. 'I miss you already.' I think sadly through our mind link letting my head drop. At the sound of his wine I snap my head up quickly looking around for any signs of danger. 'What is it?!' I ask tensely waiting for his answer as he looks at me weirdly. Suddenly a choking sound fills the air and I stare at his shaking form in confusion and then it hits me, he's laughing at me. Now I really want to be on the other side so I can slug him. 

'Do you know how adorable you are?' he asks with love shining through his eyes. 'I guess...?' I answer in confusion.  What does this have to do with him whining and then laughing at me? 'Do you still not get it?' he asks while cocking his head to the left wearing a wolfish smirk. Growling, I reply with irritation coating my words. 'Yes, now please explain before I go crazy!'  Not knowing why he whined is making me anxious; not being able to be next to him to see if he’s hurt is killing me. Growling in irritation, I plop my bottom on the ground tail swishing in annoyance and my ears twitching at every sound.

 Once again a choking sound fills my ears and I look at him in surprise. How dare he laugh at me, he should be flattered that I even care! Glaring, I wait for him to stop before reminding him to explain. Rolling his eyes his voice fills my mind and my eyes widen in shock as I hear what he has to say. ‘I whined because I feel the same way you do, I want to rip this fence apart so I can cuddle next to you. It physically pains me not to be able to brush my fur against yours to reassure myself that you’re not a dream.’  Letting out a sigh of relief I raise up from the forest floor and pres myself as close I can to the fence and start rubbing my body along it. Satisfied after a few minutes of rubbing I stop and sit before looking at him proudly.

  Now even if I’m not here he can smell me and fell comforted. ‘What in the world did you just do? It looked like you were scratching yourself…’ he asks confusion clearly shown on his face. Now it’s my turn to laugh at him and I do it with glee.  ‘I rubbed against the fence so my scent would mix with it. So when I’m not here you can still feel close to me in a way.’ I reply as I lay on the floor my side pressing into the fence. ‘Hmmm…...’ he says softly that I almost don’t hear him. Resting my head on my paws I close my eyes and as my tiredness takes over I feel something scarcely brush my fur. Turning to look I find him lying in the exact same position on his side of the fence. Smiling to myself I let the darkness take over and fall fast asleep.

The sound of a hooting owl wakes me with a start. Quickly standing I glace around for any danger and finding none, I stretch slowly to relax my stiff muscles before sitting on my haunches satisfied. ‘So sleeping beauty is finally awake?’ a silky smooth voice asks making me shiver as my wolf registers who the voice belongs to. Looking to my left I find him staring at me with warm eyes. Rolling my eyes at his new nickname I stick my tongue out. ‘What time is it?’ I ask while yawning. I’d say around eight. We’d better get back before they send out search parties.’ He tells me while stretching. Nodding I rub my head against the fence one last time to make sure my scent stays there for more than a few hours. With one final rub I watch as he does the same making me purr softly happy that he wanted to do the same for me. ‘I’ll see you in school.’ I mutter before turning around and heading for home. ‘See you tomorrow love!’ he shouts making me blush and quicken my stride. While making my retreat I can hear that annoying chocking sound again, he better hope that I don’t remember to get pay back tomorrow the cheeky bastard!

 After a few minutes I reach the river and stop for a quick drink and rest. As I lower my head to the water my fur stands on edge and I look around while quenching my thirst. It feels like someone’s watching me… I think to myself while scanning the nearby trees.  Suddenly the trees on my far left rustle loudly and I stop drinking and growl loudly in warning. Staring I wait in silence, my ears pricked all the way forward straining for a sound. In seconds hundreds of birds fly out of the trees and into the sky making a ruckus. Happy that the birds are no threat I watch as they rise to the sky but my eyes widen in shock when I take in the now grey sky. Just a few minutes ago they were pink and orange…a storm must be coming then. I think to myself as I quicken my pace heading away from the river towards home. After a few minutes thunder erupts from the sky sounding way too close for comfort. Seconds later a large flash of lightning lights up the sky. Great, what can possibly go wrong now? I ask myself as I go from a brisk jog to flat out running. And of course in answer to my question it starts to pour. Great, just great.

 Stopping in the middle of a field I stop and shake off the water on my fur so it would stop weighing me down. In seconds I’m completely drenched again. With a sigh I start running again trying not to stumble from my heavy rain soaked limbs. Along with the sound of pouring rain I hear a strange noise, something clinking together that sounds a lot like metal. Turning towards the sound I look for the source but even with my heightened senses, the rain is too thick. Com on lightning, give me some light! I scream in my mind still looking for something moving. As if answering my thoughts, thunder resonates from above followed quickly by a bright light and I stare at the trees confused. I’m sure I saw the lightening glint off something but the only thing that could do that is either a gun or a reflective jacket. But the only person who would have that kind of stuff would be trespassing hunters. Wait a second, if that’s what I think it is then we have t-‘I start to think but all thoughts are forgotten as a burning pain enters my chest. Releasing a howl of pain I crumble to the freezing wet ground in agony. Looking down I see red liquid rapidly pouring out of my chest like a gushing river. Blood. I’m losing blood.

 Glancing back towards the trees I growl loudly at the sight before me. Clad in a deep green rain suit, black boots, a baseball cap and carrying a shotgun over his shoulder, Jason stares at me with amusement written all over his face. Growling louder as he walks closer, I restrain from jumping up and biting his head off, but only because it would make me loose blood faster. And I really don’t need that right now. “Well, what do we have here? All alone little wolfy? Well I better stop the bleeding or my hostage will die before she can even change back into a human.” Jason says with an evil grin. Shivering in disgust at the thought of him taking me anywhere I watch his every movement as he slowly lowers his gun to the floor. Snapping at him as he kneels by my face I watch as his face turns blank before his eyes shape into slits and a small frown sits on his face. “Thought you might have known by now that you should behave nicely, but I guess you’re not smart enough for that.” He says while looking me in the eyes with an irritated look. In response I glare at him with hate and try to stand but he pushes me back down with his hands. “Trying to escape now? You really don’t know how to behave like a good hostage, do you?” he asks laughing. I growl in irritation and try again before falling to the ground with another push from him. Resting and trying to catch my breath I lie on the ground and watch as my blood pools on the ground.

“Well I would love to chat with you but we have to get moving.” H e grunts as he goes from kneeling next to me to standing over me. I look at him like he’s mad, if he thinks I’m going anywhere with him he must be more of a lunatic then I thought! Looking at him, I watch as his eyes begin to gleam with a mischievous glint before picking something on the ground and holding it over my head. “Nigh-y night sweet Alexa.” He declares before slamming the butt of the gun on my head. Black dots race across my vision and suddenly my head is way too heavy to lift so it falls to the ground with a thud. The last thing I hear is a furious growl before everything turns black.
