The Woods {Kaylor}

Colton.

Enjoy!

Taylor's pov:

"I know a great hiking trail in the Mountains!" She says excitedly as we stand towards the end of the woods

"The mountains?" I ask skeptically

"Please don't put this idea down" she huffs "It will be worth it, it's a great place I swear"

"I know it's a great place! I've gone there countless times with my friends in high school" I smile

"Oh" her smile slowly fades "Doesn't surprise me" she mutters

I pick her head up and kiss her soft lips "But I know for a fact that it will be way more fun with you" I smile

Her smile reappears

"We just have to be-"

"Careful ya ya ya" she cuts me off while waving her hand

I roll my eyes "I'm serious. There's other clans and mean animals. I mean have you ever fought a woman from the Wonderwolves clan?" I ask. I once did when my dad got caught up with some of the members

"I'm sorry the what clan?" She laughs

I roll my eyes once again at my girlfriend "The Wonderwolves. They named themselves ok? There's thousands of different clans and they name themselves. And believe it or not there are some that are even worse" I state honestly

"Ooh like what?" She asks showing interest

"I don't want to talk about it. Can we just go on the trail now?" I smile

She huffs "Fine." She grabs my hand as if it's a reflex and leads me towards the beginning of the mountains

The mountains are a place I haven't gone to in years. I'm not really sure what's there and what's not. I know for a fact it's changed since I've been there. I'm scared right now but I know Karlie isn't. I'm just worried that what if my father was there? What if he was talking with one of the leaders of another clan? I know he fancied a woman named Martha that lives in these mountains. What if he saw me? He'd be furious if he found out I had a girlfriend. He has always wanted me to marry a man. But I know it's only because he wants the comfort of knowing I'm protected by someone strong. But Karlie is strong. And I'm comforted by the fact that she'll protect me. I don't care what my dad thinks. He's a dick to say it lightly. Suddenly, I feel my ankle give out and my body tumbles to the ground. I hear a loud laugh

"Tay are you ok?" She bends down

I sit up slowly and examine my dirt covered shirt "Ya" I pout

She laughs and helps me up "You fall literally every time we go outside. You just find someway to barely knock your foot on something and completely face plant" she laughs harder as the many memories of me face planting runs through her head

"Ya ya" I cross my arms over my chest

"I'm sorry. That was just really funny to me" she kisses my cheek apologetically

I smile softly "I know. It's fine"

"Taylor." She stops me "Are you ok?"

"Ya I'm fine why?" I shrug

She stares at me then sighs "Never mind. Let's just get to the trail"

I begin to follow in her fast footsteps. I don't want to ruin her happiness by telling her about the fear of my father.

"You thirsty?" Karlie asks as we hike up a small mountain

"Oh my god yes" I state in a scratchy voice
