Wolf and a Mask (Eyeless Jack Romance)

Chapter 27

Um... Hey. Yeah sorry if this chapter is kind of short. I'ts late right now and I'm kinda tired. So yeah.

Thank you again...

Um...

Yeah.

Luna's P.O.V.

I was walking aimlessly through the trees, not knowing where I was going. I was dressed in my complete attire, though it wasn't much. The tree's branches were nearly empty, showing the brown bark and the open blue sky. The leaves that fell gently were buried under the ankle-deep white snow. 

I wasn't wearing shoes, and no jacket, but I wasn't cold, for some reason. Warm, if anything. 

My brown hair fell behind me, swaying with the warm breeze. Birds chirped around me, the sun hanging just above the horizon as the last of the moon fell. 

My heart was at a normal pace, beating rhythmically. My feet were layered in the snow, yet again, it wasn't cold. Maybe I had gotten used to it from living outside so long. 

I stopped and gazed up at the open sky, the last of the stars disappearing and fading away. 

I suddenly heard footsteps running behind me. I whipped around only to see Jack appear from the trees.

"Jack!" I exclaimed, running up to him and giving him a hug.

"Luna you shouldn't get too far ahead from me." He sighed, bringing me into a warm embrace. I pulled away, looking up at his masked face. 

"I know but I couldn't help it," I said, stepping away and taking in a deep breath. "It's been so long since I last went outside!"

"Aren't you cold?" He asked, coming up to my side and peering at the sky with me.

"No," I shook my head, tracing the small cloud with my bright green eyes. "Not at all."

He sighed and shook his head, looking down at me. "I don't understand how."

"I've lived outside for a while. I think I can take some snow." I said, clicking my tongue and rolling my eyes. 

"Luna, turn around." Jack said, almost in a small chuckle. 

"Why?" I asked, gazing up at him and raising a brow.

"Just do it." He repeated. I sighed and turned. Instantly, there was hand in my hair. "You have leaves in your hair."

I giggled and waited for him to finish pulling away the dead leaves before I turned back to him. "Are they gone?" I asked, cocking my head.

"Yeah." He nodded, looking back out at the trees. 

"Hey how long can we be out here for?" I asked, examining my surroundings.

"Until we freeze."  He said.

"That might be a while~" I sang out, skipping forward. 

He walked towards me, shaking his head. I knew I was childish, and I was fine with it. I stopped in a clearing, staring up. Birds flew by, calling their families.

Families....

I turned to Jack, who was catching up.

Family?

I felt the sudden urge to go to him, so I turned on my heels, running through the snow. The white packed-flakes crunched beneath me.

I jumped, leaping onto his chest as he opened his arms out of instinct, catching me.
