The Waterfall

"How's he take it?" I sat by the campfire ripping the bread apart in my fingers as my appetite had dissolved since Henry had left. The boy with the dark spiked hair nodded to join me as Will watched from afar.

"Who?" I threw the last of the food into the pit as he screwed his face up.

"Your friend, you know Sasha's new toy." He clapped his hands together as his arms rested upon his thighs.

"Louis!"

"Yes Louis." He snorted annoyed.

"I don't think he quite understands it."

"In time he will begin to feel what she does, and you can tell him from me if he screws her over there will be all hell to pay."

"What are you saying, if a wolf Amours with somebody they will fall in love with that person to."

"Yes, it can take days, weeks, or I have even known it to happen over years."

"This whole supernatural stuff gets crazier the more I learn."

"She's a good kid."

"You like her don't you." I paused as his face reddened in the firelight.

"No, I mean yeah, as a friend." He bit back as I pressed my lips tight.

"Ok no judgement from me, I'm sorry I will say no more on the matter." Holding my hands up in surrender his shoulders dropped.

"I always thought when Sasha joined our pack that she would be my one. Every day I woke I thought this is it this will be the day, but it never happened and now never will." He sighed throwing tiny pebbles into the flames as they danced before us.

"But that means your amour is still to arrive, that's exciting isn't it."

"I guess, it just hurts you know."

"Does Sasha know how you feel about her."

"No, what was the point in confessing my love for her when we both know it would be diminished one day."

"There's a lot of pain and torture that come with all this territory stuff isn't there."

"There sure is Eleanor. Too much sometimes." I see him smile for the first time. He had a boyish charm to him. His blue eyes flickering in the moonlight as it hid behind the trees. "So tell me what's the deal with vamp over there, he's not stopped watching you since we began our conversation and listening to every word I bet." Will looked to the ground as he heard every word we were speaking.

"He's harmless in fact he's one of the nicest guys I think I have ever had pleasure meeting." I bit my tongue as I watched Will smile to himself.

"And the other one the hot headed fool."

"Henry."

"Yes he likes a good fight I see."

"He's just protective that's all."

"He's not that protective if he just left you here is he!" He smirked as my heart sunk to the pit of my stomach. He was right. Henry had just left he had really gone.

"Anyway enough about us tell me a bit about the wolves. When do you transform it is a choice thing or something else." Changing the subject I watched as his eyes lit up about to engage in his ancestor's history.

"When you change the first time it's not through choice, and it's also not a pretty sight. The Alpha takes you even deeper into the forest where he will chain you up just so the madness doesn't take over your mind."

"What do you mean?"

"Sasha is with him now, my parents will stay with her until it is over, but I've heard the pain is unbearable the first time. Every bone in your body breaks and then heals and then breaks again until the pattern ends hours later."
