Chapter four

(Harmony)

I looked back over my shoulder; I couldn't see anything or hear him. He mustn't be following me.

I relaxed, I loved walking through the forest, I felt at home here. I dragged my fingertips over the rough bark of the trees. I breathed in the damp earth smell.

I kept walking; I had a great sense of direction, so I knew I wouldn't get lost. I pushed a branch out of my way, and suddenly I was in a beautiful clearing. Wild flowers sprouted from the earth, in between the long blades of grass. Sunlight was streaming down into the clearing; I gaped at its beauty.

I stepped out from underneath the shadow of the trees. I bent down and picked a purple flower, It was my favourite colour. I twirled it between my fingers. I thought about the time he brought me a bunch of purple roses. I sat down along the flowers, the sun felt nice on my back; I turned my face skyward and smiled broadly up at the never-ending blue.

I lied down on the soft grass, and stretched out trying to soak up as much sunshine as I could. I sat up, an idea running through my mind.

 I grabbed my bag, and found what I needed.  I used my little mirror and some disposable wipes to remove the thick makeup, and then I threw the stuff, including my glasses back in my bag.  I didn’t really need them; they were just a good disguise. Standing up, I searched the clearing and surrounding forest for any signs of people, once satisfied that no one was watching I pulled the black beanie from my head. It felt great to let my hair down.

I then pulled down my pants and dress in one move; I had done this many times before, so I have become quite good at it. I stepped out of the grey sweat pants, picked them up and threw them at my bag. Then I proceeded to remove my hoody. I spun around and stretched my arms above my head. It felt so wonderful to be out of those clothes; even though they were baggy they still felt constricting. I smiled and rolled my shoulders a little, a soft breeze blew my dress around, wrapping itself around my legs.

All of a sudden I felt a nudge on my thigh. I squealed in fright and jumped around. I stood frozen in shock for about half a second. There right in front of me was the largest wolf I’d ever seen; it was a dark grey, almost black, with a white muzzle and white tips to its ear. I screamed again and tried to run away, although I only managed to get two steps away before it tackled me to the ground. Well that went extremely well, I though as I felt its hot breath on the back of my neck.

(Dante)

Ow! Damn it she has a load scream. I though just as she turned to run away. Oh no you’re not going anywhere, little missy. Was my next thought as we tackled her to the ground.   She was lying face down, one of my wolf’s paws was resting on the middle of her back. She was squirming beneath him trying to get away. He didn’t like that much, so he growled lowly at her. She froze, I could smell her fear, I shouted at my wolf “Stop scaring her!” He raised his lips showing his teeth, he was not happy at me for contradicting him. But none the least he pulled back and gave me full control.

Using one of his paws I turned her over so she was facing me. Her eyes were wide, flashing from gold to blue, every second it would change, it was actually quite mesmerising. Subconsciously I leaned in closer. She whimpered in fear, “Damn It, look what you’ve done” I told my wolf. He growled at me inside my head, disagreeing. I pondered what to do for a second, well there wasn’t much I could do while I was still in wolf form .So without really thinking it through, I changed back right there.

Her eyes were as wide as saucers. I was kneeling over her one arm on each side of her head, totally naked. Her eyes trailed down my body, I smirked, well that was until she shrieked and slammed a hand over her eyes. “AHHHHH YOU’RE NAKED!” She shouted. I chuckled “Yeah I guess I am” she screamed again “WHY ARE YOU NAKED? GET OFF ME AND PUT SOME CLOTHES ON!” She still had a hand clamped over her eyes. I chuckled again “Okay only if you promise not to run away, I have some questions for you” She nodded vigorously. “I promise, NOW GET OFF!” With the last part she shoved me in the chest. I rolled away and grabbed her huge sweat pants. They were a little tight but it was better than nothing apparently. “Alright my naughty area is covered” I told her a smirk on my face. She peeked from between her fingers and sighed with relief. “You know I don’t think I’ve ever had a …” I paused for a second thinking “… women want to see me clothed so badly before, usually it’s the opposite, you know” I said with a wink.

She stared at me with … uh multi coloured eyes, they were a swirling tumble of different colours.      “Ah I think I’ll be going now” she said and stood. “Oh no you’re not going anywhere, not until you explain” I grabbed her arm, forcing her to turn around and face me. “I don’t have anything to explain, you’re the one who’s stalking me and can apparently turn into a wolf” I stared dumfounded at her. Okay maybe I was kind of stalking her, and yes I could turn into a wolf but still. “No, I don’t have to explain, you do”

“No”

“Yes”

“No”

“Yes”

“No I don’t”

“Yes you do”

“What’s there to explain?” she asked thoroughly annoyed, her eyes were now black; she actually looked kind of scary. I scoffed “Really you’re trying to play dumb? Come on I thought you were smarter than that” She narrowed her eyes at me “Apparently not” was her reply.

I shook my head “Explain those” I said moving my chin in the direction she was in. “What are you talking about?” she asked although she knew perfectly well what I was talking about. I got angry, at her, why so she being so dense? “I’m talking about the fucking wings that are attached to your back!” I ended up shouting.

She stared wide eyed at me. “You’re crazy I don’t have wings” She tried to convince me. “Okay then what is this huh?” I reached around and grabbed one of her wings. Slowly I pulled it outwards, I could feel her trying to pull it back in, but I was too strong. Her wing was white with a few gold feathers on the underside, they were beautiful really. “Okay fine I have wings, but it’s not like you can judge, dog boy” I gaped at her and dropped her wing did she just call me a dog? I asked my wolf, he gave a throaty cackle, wow he sounds funny when he laughs. 

While I was distracted she managed to rip her arm and from my grasp. “Hey!” I protested loudly. She started running away, she was pretty quick, she spread her wings; they must have been at least three and a half meters tip to tip, and jumped into the air, pushing down with her powerful wings. She started to rise slowly, I only had a couple more seconds to reach her or she’d be too high. Lucky for me I made it in time. I jumped up and grabbed a hold of her ankle, yanking her back down. 

I caught her in my arms, bridal style.  For a second I had a little… I don’t know vision? Of me carrying her through the threshold of my house, her in a white dress very similar to the one she is wearing now, and me in a tux, matching rings on our fingers. What the hell just happened in my head? Holy shit maybe I am going crazy.

She was struggling in my arms trying to get away. “Nuh uh, you ain’t going anywhere hun” I said as I slung her over my shoulder. “Put me down right this instant!” she shouted hitting my back. “Sorry babe but you’re coming home with me” I walked back towards her bag.

“No I’m not! PUT. ME. DOWN!” She punctured each word with a hard punch to the kidneys. “Hey stop that, it’s slightly irritating” I smirked as I said the next sentence.   “If you keep being naughty, you’ll get a spanked bottom”. All of a sudden she was wild on my shoulder; it took all my strength to keep her there. Wow she was strong when she was angry.

Laughing slightly I used my right foot to pick up her hoody; yes I have the ability to pick things up with my toes. “Let me down, please” she dragged out the ‘e’.  I placed her lightly on her feet; her eyes were completely blue now.  “Put this on” I handed her the hoody, she quickly pulled on the oversized piece of clothing. Once it was completely covering her wings I picked her up again and once again she was hitting my back and demanding release.

I picked up her bag and started walking back towards the school. “Well, we have a very interesting mate, don’t we buddy? I asked the wolf that inhabited my mind, He nodded in agreement, yes she was definitely interesting.
