We Are Werewolves

Chapter 21

Authors Note:

This is a mourning and grieving chapter, if that makes sense. I was going to place the "See You Again" video on here, but it would not do Paul Walker justice if I placed that song onto this fictional book, so just know that this chapter was written in that sad, flashbackie kinda way. I hope you guys enjoy.

We all sat surrounding the bonfire. It was what had been done to replace a thousand funerals for those whom had been, lost. They would never be forgotten.

As I stared at the blazing fire, I could see Peach. I could see her smile, and I could see her frown. And I could even hear her laugh, as well as her cries. Although I might not have brought her up as much as I'd spoken about Silver or the moon goddess. But she truly was my best friend. While, Black was my mentor, he could never relate to me the way Peach did.

She was a girl. So she introduced me into things like girl talk. Unlike the gossip conversations that I'd shared with Amaya and Michelle. I actually discussed topics with Peach that did not revolve around boys or how much I hated my calculus teacher.

Just like everything in the world, you never truly know what a true friendship is until you experience. For so many years I'd mistaken the relationship that I'd shared with Michelle and Amaya for so much more than it was. I can without a doubt say that Peach was more than your average BFF.

I've been told that certain people click spiritually, while others don't. For instance, I could hang out with Peach at any time whether we talked non stop, or if we just sat and watched TV, enjoying each other's company. But with Amaya and Michelle, I'd found myself trying to do back bends in order please there needs.

The truth of the matter was that they hadn't at all changed when they found their mates, I was just beginning to see their true colors. And when they did find their mates, they ditched me, several times. And instead of ending our friendship just like any other sane person, I'd convinced myself that I was the bad guy.

But with Peach, I never had to convince myself anything. Although she'd replaced Amaya and Michelle, she was someone that could never be replaced.

I was brought out of my thoughts as I felt a tear drop from my face down to my knees, that were wrapped around my arms. I was suddenly aware of my surroundings, as I heard the sniffling coming from the people around me And I also heard a gentle voice male voice talking behind me. Was he talking to me?

I slowly turned around to him revealing my tear stained face.

" It's going to be ok Isa, we'll get over this. She's in a better place now." Black said his face identical to my own.

I nodded as, I heard the moon goddess speak to me confirming his statement.

" He's right Isa, I've seen her, she's safe now. It is her time to rest now. She is at peace." The moon goddess, reassured me.

Black wrapped his arm around me, and I leaned into his chest. And we both sobbed together just needing someone to hold. He was the closet thing that I would ever get to Peach, and I didn't plan on letting him go at any time.

As my tear filled eyes, searched the sorrowful faces of the townspeople, my eyes landed on Silver.

His eyes were directed towards the ground, he was in deep melancholy.

I frowned slightly at this. He looked as if he'd just lost everything, it was Black who had lost his mate.

" He's just mad that his love betrayed him. However it is his wolf that is miserable, since Silver pushed us away several times too many." The moon goddess said gently in my ear.

I sighed, as the thought appeared into my head. Silver will only care for his precious love, his Mackenzie. If he was without his wolf, I would mean nothing to him. So, the tingles that I'd felt between us meant nothing. I would be rejecting him soon. I planned on taking Black's advice and make my own destiny.

I snuggled into Black some more, as Peach's face suddenly popped into my head. I could already feel the next heap of tears come. I sniffled again, just as I felt another one of Black's tears drop on the crown of my head. My hair was soaked with his tears,as his shirt was soaked with my tears.

We both snuggled against each other, unable to control our tears as we mourned our lost friend.

The whole town, did the same, Mothers, fathers, siblings, uncles, aunts, and mates had been lost. and for the first time I didn't think about our next battle, or the revenge that we would get on the Cunning and Mitchel Pack. I just needed to let it out. Peach was gone and I wasn't going to pretend that she had not been taken away from us.

I just needed to take one step at a time.
