Healing a Silent Heart

Chapter 4

Realized Chapter 3 was significantly longer than the first two chapters and I'm sure chapter 4 is just as long. But I hope someone will enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing this. Though this is it, from here on out any chapter I update will be fresh. I'm working on 5 trying to feel how to play things out. I think I'll have Alice discover Daniel's a werewolf soon cause as i was re-reading these chapters even I got frustrated that she didn't know.

Also Daniel's trying in vain to deny her as his mate cause she human, foolish wolf.  Nathan is teasing Daniel to get him to admit and accept his protectiveness over her and I rather enjoy Nathan's character.

Also there will be parts where we get to see text messages they will look like [[This]] as I cant change the text like I could in microsoft word.

Chapter 4

“Alright, I’m pleased to see everyone’s project is finish. In honor of the season I would like to put up an exhibit called ‘Falling into Autumn’ with all the artworks of my two junior classes” McKinley  said to everyone and some of us nod with approval, some looked dreaded because of course not everyone can be artistic.

I glanced at Daniel who looked rather calm and today actually smiled at me. Now that I thought about it he did look my way more often during the course of the day. I still had to thank him for the notes the other day but I can never form the nerve to do it. But I decided I’ll visit the house a little later since I wanted to show Blackie my colored pencil version of my finished project.

The end of the day and week and I left school and decided I poke my head on in the book store to see if Nathan was there and to get more drawing books as I was running out from all the experimentations for my fall project.

“Ah hello, we are getting a new shipment of books soon” said Bill as I entered the store. “If its anything you need let me know Alice” he added and I nod my approval.

“Alice? Hey there” I turned to face Nathan who was smiling at me. “I am glad I took this shift today. So what do you need? Or did you came to see me?” he said laughing at that part.

Both, I needed another sketch book as well as some more paper, I’m running out of paper now.

“Aww yay you came to see me. That makes me happy” Nathan said adjusting his glasses. “But luckily for you missy I am in the process of restocking some of those” he said sure enough he had some boxes around but out of the way. He leaded me to the boxes and I looked inside and I picked up a notebook and a sketch book from the boxes he showed me.

Thank you.

I wrote in the first notebook knowing I was buying them.

“Anytime Alice, will you be our lovely guess this evening?” he asked me.

Sure, I wanted to see Blackie. I haven’t been there lately. Maybe talk to Dan while I’m at it if he can stand me long enough. I think he doesn’t like me too much.

Nathan then smiled and patted my head “Trust me, he likes you” he said eyes looking into me, two emeralds, and I found them intensely gorgeous. “He’s just being complicated, I was like that once, not being honest with others or even to myself about my feelings” he said and I felt my face grow warm.

“Well I got to work, I’ll see you later I hope?” his statement sounded like a question so I nod to assure him.

Paying for my things and leaving the bookstore I felt satisfied. Time to head on over to the forest to see Blackie, hopefully I would find him. ‘Though he does seem to always find me.’ I eventually made it into the forest again; more of the trees are becoming bare as more leaves come off.
