Stuck In Wonderland

I'm lost..

~Two weeks later~

I woke up, my face was stained with tears again. I didn't want to face reality anymore.. I was in the dark about so many things... it kinda hurt, like, why was this wolf kid still escorting me tho the forest? Why did he save me instead of my sister? And most of all, why did the house fire happen?.. Who started it?.... I must have cried in my sleep again... I thought.

"Hey... stop acting like your still asleep, we're almost to the village I told you about..." The boy said, his voice was soft and soothing. I opened my eyes a little, his met mine.. his blue eyes sparkled.

"Stranger..... this is a village of wolf people, correct?..." I mumbled sleepily, trying to fake it so he'd leave me alone for a little. But I failed.... of course..

"Yes, why?" He looked at me strangely, like he didn't know I was a cat person by the sight of my ears, tail and natural sent.

"I'm half cat, idiot." I groaned and snuggled up against the moss I was sleeping on.

"And I'm half wolf, so what?" He sounded so calm, like nothing happened the other day, like he couldn't hear me crying each night. And it pissed me off.

"I won't fit in! I'm a cat, not a wolf! No one will need me anyway! No one does!!" I turned and yelled in his face. He looked so hurt by that....

"Amanda... don't ta-"

"But it's true! Only one person ever needed me, and now she's dead!" I screamed. I could feel the tears coming back. Dang it!!

He hugged me, and whispered in my ear. "I need you Amanda... stop talking like your unwanted.. please?..." He begged. I couldn't believe what I just heard.. but I said something anyway..... something so stupid even I felt bad after realizing what I said..... I will never forget how hurt he looked, and the screaming silentce between us that it caused..

"You don't count..."
