Pixies and wolves

CHAPTER 9:A GUARDIAN WOLF

JOSHUA'S POV

I put Nedira down the instant I reach the bus stop

"Gee you getting heavy" I say jokingly. She sticks her tongue out at me in a funny way and we burst out laughing.

"Nedira, who is Alexia?" I ask her with a concerned sound in my voice. She looks at me with a look of 'I was waiting for you to ask me', and she then looks at me with this serious face that even makes me scared

"She is our guardian wolf spirit" she says "she will tell you more about herself, I don't want to talk about it anymore" she continues and points at some students approaching our direction. I nod and we go silent waiting for the bus to arrive.

Gee I wish I had my car because we could be talking all the way to school about Alexia

The day went by slowly and Xenia joined Nedira and I at lunch again. I sat and watched the two girls play some weird hand game, Nedira made a wrong move and they burst out in fits of laughter. Nedira fell off her chair and they laughed even more. I grinned at their happiness.

"Hey bro, come join us" Nedira exclaims with an exited look on her face.

"And look as rediculous as you two?" I state in an adult I'm more nature than that kind of tone.

"Aww" they exclaim in unison both showing very cute puppy faces in a begging manner.

Thee lunch bell rings and we get up and start heading to our classes.

The last few lectures end quickly and thank goodness for that because I have many a question for Nedira about Alexia but it'll have to wait till we arrive at our bus stop.

"Nedira."

"Hmmm"

"Tell me about Alexia please"

"I told you already, she will tell you in her own time. No more about her please" she states in a bad mood.

"Oh ok then." I reply taking a back step in defence

We finally reach home and I dump my bag in my room and dart outside to swim in the nearby waterfalls.

Alexia appears infront of me just before I'm about to jump into the water.

"Nedira says you are very curious about me" she speaks in her calming all knowing voice.

"Yes. I'm curious about how you became our wolf guardian" I state placing my shirt back onto my naked chest.

"With pleasure, you may want to sit down." she says sitting down herself "This is what happened that caused me to follow your family and guard you. I was only sixteen years of age and it turns out that your great grandfather was the cause of my choice those many years back" she finishes.

Alexia stands up and approaches me. Sitting in front of me she places her finger on my head and whispers something I can barely hear but cannot understand. all of a sudden my head whirls around in a daze of colours and patterns. landing on my feet I realise I'm many years back, back to the age of when Alexia was young. I see her and Arthur together.

What happened was this. It was a day after wolf training and I was beaten quite badly by one of the other she wolves because I was the smallest of all the she wolves... he saw me for the first time like really saw me, saw who I was and what I was. No one ever looked at me that way before but that day he did... anyways I started crying for no reason, maybe because I felt around him, and all of a sudden I was being comforted by him and this is how a few terrible but exciting problems started, making me wish he never saw me. First I invite him to my house but we had to walk there and it was quite a long way to walk so he joined me on this walk which took the whole afternoon. It turned to a warm sunset as we arrived at my house. It was very neat and cosy. I made food and we had a great time till his mom called and I answered the phone and I told her where he was because we were to be mates, he looked at me and snatched the phone in a playful manner and told her I was all alone and he'll be at school early tomorrow to introduce me to his parents. Strangely his mom agreed we'll do this which made it even worse as I didn't know that that might be the last time he would speak to his mom. After the call I start kissing him and after a weird moment with crying and staring I lie on his lap and fall asleep. The night passed with an argument with his mom and the following day came and went, and we walked to my home again and spent the afternoon having fun. That evening came and I changed into a wolf and came into the garden where I was waiting and watching him and we raced around in the garden until we reach a point where I bit him on the shoulder close to his neck where there was a weak spot in his shoulder, he yelped and I felt so sorry for what I did, I pouted and whined sorrowfully. Despite his wound he walked up to me and licked my face, the warmth that radiated from his body was so overpowering. His name was Arthur"
