Forest Rain (A Pack and Cullen Story)

Part 6

     The next day, I woke up and started cooking breakfast, eggs for me and meat for both of us, and maybe Rocky. I guess the wonderful scent of the meat was enough to wake up River cause when I walked back into the living room she was sitting up with her nose in the air.

      "Well good morning to you too. I made us some breakfast. Here you go." I laid a plate of steak in front of her and she started eating right away. "While you enjoy that, I'm gonna go check for Rocky."

      I walk outside and instead of seeing a big, black wolf, I saw a pair of squirrels." Well hi there Max, Maddy. Give me a sec." I reach into a storage bench I have next to the front door and grab a handful of nuts. "Here you guys go." I lean down and pour a handful on the porch.

     I look out towards the trees and catch a glimpse of Rocky. He's looking across the river and when I follow his line of sight, I see a sparkling similar to Bella's yesterday. When I blink, the glimmer is gone and I'm lead to believe it was my imagination again.

      I go to look back at Rocky and he's already standing in front f me, his gaze still across the way. "Ok then. . . Well I've got breakfast for you. I can't really stay out here too long though cause I've got company. Maybe you'll meet her later on." He pauses eating just long enough to give me a glance.

      After he's finished eating, I pet him for a few moments before he pulls away. "Right. You've got things to do and I've got a guest too tend to. Maybe I'll see you later, huh?" I watch as he walks away and then turn to walk inside.

      I open the door and close it quietly, in case River went back to sleep. I enter the living room to collect the dish from the meat when I notice River isn't on the bed. "River? Riveeer?" I start wandering the rooms t see if she went adventuring. Next thing I know my toilet flushes.

     Is someone in my house? The bathroom door opens and a woman, very muscly woman walks out. GREAT! There's a woman that can easily over power me in my house!

      I rush into my bedroom and grab the first thing I see. I then confront the invading woman in the hallway. "Hey you! Look I-I don't want to hurt you b-but i-if you don't leave my house right away I'll be forced to attack" I raise my hairdryer in front of me for emphasis.

      The large brunette woman turns to look at me with deep brown eyes. "River?" I whisper, barely audible

      "Um. . . yeah. I'm the wolf. . Uh, thanks for the first aide. . ." she(River?) says awkwardly. Her expression changes from nervous to concerned as she asks "Hey are you gonna be a-. . . ?"

      That's all I hear before my world turns black.
