3000 Nights

28

I didn't know how I was going to face Dom, but I knew it wasn't going to be easy.

It was basically confirmed that he'd killed our history teacher Mrs. Harte.

And a bunch of other people from town!

How freaking terrible is this?

I needed to tell Belle, to warn her about him.

Part of me wondered if I should tell Mia.

But she probably wouldn't believe me.

She'd tell me I had a wild imagination or something like that.

And then go on about how I should give Dom a freaking chance.

Since I was up at dawn, woken by Travis' howl, I decided to get ready extra early and head over to Belle's before school.

She was always up extra early, so I knew she'd be up and getting ready for school, even though it was 5:30 am.

Today was cold, which made me sad, because it made me realize I probably wouldn't see human Travis.

I dressed in black jeans, which were hand-me-downs from Belle and a grey and black striped sweater with a blue scarf and my Classic Doc Marten boots.

I threw my leather jacket over my sweater and hurried downstairs to quickly make some coffee and grab a granola bar and some fruit.

"By Mom, see ya later!" I called out to her as I started to leave.

"Wow. You're leaving early!" She said. "You're never out the door before 6! Where are you off to?"

"I'm going to Belle's, we're gonna go over some Math notes. There's a quiz today." I replied.

"Okay! Good luck! Love you!"

I walked to my Jeep and noticed a messy bouquet of wild flowers on the ground by my door.

I smiled and picked them up.

I turned to the woods where I saw Travis' wolf standing by the trees.

"For me?" I asked.

He barked. "They're beautiful. I love them!" I smiled as I walked over to him.

His light blue eyes widened in surprise as I approached, but he stayed still.

When I got closer enough I bent down and kissed the top of his head.

Even through fur, and difference in species, I could still feel the familiar tingling sensation I got whenever we touched.

He let out a soft sigh. Once I got up he ran in circles around me and walked with me back to my car.

I looked at the flowers again.

They were a mixture of blue belle's, daisy's, buttercup's, daffodils, sunflowers, hyacinth's, and a few others I didn't know the names to.

I smiled again. Whether or not Travis knew that I liked messy bouquets of wild flowers over freshly cut roses, it was the sweetest thing he could have done. Especially since he had to knaw all the stems with his teeth.

I couldn't believe this amazing creature was actually mine.

That's what he said.

"I am yours, and you are mine." I said as I kissed him one last time on his nose and climbed into my car and started my drive to Belle's house.

When I got there I went right through the front door and called out for Belle.

She answered me from the kitchen as she was making some eggs for breakfast.
