Revival~ ( Book two ) {#Wattys2016}

Chapter 5

I woke up early the next morning and went to eat breakfast. Julie was already awake and had the table set with a delicious feast! After we ate I went to text Noah. He arrived about twenty minutes later. Katie had Comet and Scarlet ready for us when we got to the barn. We took the horses and headed for the trails. It was a beautiful day. The sun was out, but it wasn't hot. We rode for a few hours then went to bathe the horses. Scarlet loved the water but Comet couldn't stand it. We turned them out to the pasture, and went back inside. We had a late lunch then went for a walk. While we were walking we heard a noise from the woods. I asked Noah what he thought, and he said it was probably nothing. I rolled my eyes to his helpful statement. "I'm going to investigate," I stated then stormed off. Noah grabbed my arm before I could enter the woods. "What!" I snapped and turned my head to face him. "It's just, you know how I said I will remember both realities if you pick this one?" He said without looking at me. I relaxed and turned facing him. "Yeah?" He sighed, "Well there is a way to stop it." I perked up. "Really how?" He smiled,"I can't tell you." I screamed and ran into the woods. I heard him call after me, but I didn't care. I needed to get away from him. I ran and ran until I was far into the woods. I stopped running and sat down on a log. Then I heard it again. That noise. I was close to it. I got up and kept searching. I searched until the sun started to set. I couldn't remember where I came from. Great, I was lost. As I turned around, I came face to face with a wolf. His crystal eyes stared at me. He was the one making the noises. He started growling and barking at me. I wasn't going to stay here and be dinner, so I bolted. I knew the wolf was behind me, I could hear his breaths. Then he stopped and turned around. I sighed a sigh of relief, and turned back in the direction I was heading. I started running again after I heard a branch break. As I was trying to escape the scary branch, I smacked right into a tree. I went black for a minute then woke up to a voice.  Towering over me was Noah. He offered me his hand and pulled me up. He was smiling like an idiot. "Something scary in there love?" He said before bursting into laughter. "It's not funny. A wolf was chasing me, and then a branch broke!" He laughed so hard he nearly fell over. "That "wolf" you saw is the neighbor's dog, and that branch that broke was me trying to find you." He started laughing again. "C-come on, L-let's go home,"he managed to say. I was pissed. I didn't find him amusing. I guess I learned my lesson though. He was impossible to deal with, but I couldn't survive without him. "I do have to tell you something." I ignored him. "Fine, pretend you aren't listening, I know you are. I wanted to tell you that I know how this reality is going to play out." That got my attention. "Really?" He nodded.  "Don't worry though. As long as you don't get sidetracked, it will be okay. You have to trust me. I love you and I will be right by your side the whole time." I smiled. "I do have to warn you, there will be a big decision coming soon. One that can change everything." Of course there was a catch. "That's all you can tell me right?" He nodded. "Once your choice is made, it cannot be erased."
