Lone Wolf Verse

Lone Wolf

A/N: This is a repost of the OneShot on my Imagine story.

           

Lauren had hiked this trail over what felt like a hundred times but she had never ever came face to face with wolves before. Not until this very moment. Lauren had fallen while climbing up a small tree and had come face to face with 4 brown/grey wolves.

Oh god I'm gonna die. Lauren thought to herself, mentally cursing herself for not listening to her mother and staying home.

The leader of the 4 pack slowly prowled closer to her baring its teeth and growling. Lauren crawled backwards as it got closer to her.

Someone help me.

The movement made the other 3 move closer too. They now had her surrounded. Apart from behind her, but considering her back was against a large rock, she was basically surrounded, and dead.

Lauren closed her eyes as the wolf's head was an inch from hers, it opened its mouth and Lauren felt a rush of wind over her head followed by a whimper. She cracked an eye open to see the tail of a jet black wolf in front of her. It was growling and howling and the pack in front. It was considerably larger than them, they whimpered and ran away leaving Lauren with a feeling of relief.

Which was quickly ejected from her body was the large black wolf turned around to stare at her. She was stood up with her back pressed against the rock, she had nowhere to go.

She closed her eyes and held out her hand as if it would stop the wolf from pouncing and attacking her. She flinched when she felt fur touch her hand. She opened her eyes to find the top of the wolf's head pressed against the palm of her hand, the large beast stared at her with their large yellow eyes and licked her hand.

Lauren giggled and lightly petted the offered head; she felt a strange sense of safety and security. Like nothing could hurt her while the large black wolf was here.

"You wouldn't hurt me would you? You're just a big softie" Lauren cooed as the wolf rolled onto its back and displayed its stomach for her to scratch. The wolf let out a small howl at being called 'a softie' making Lauren gasp.

"Do you understand what I'm saying?" Lauren asked a little uneasy. The wolf sat on its hind legs and bowed its head to her shoes.

It lifted its head once more to look at Lauren as if gauging her reaction.

"God, this is so weird" Lauren went to walk away but fell to the floor with a cry.

"Aw fuck" Lauren cursed holding onto her ankle. I must have hurt it in the fall.

The large black wolf hopped to Lauren's side and helped her back onto her feet with its nose under her arm. The beast gave her a look and she shook her head.

"I am not getting on your back" Lauren hissed trying to prove she could walk.

"I'm crazy, I'm talking to a wolf" Lauren shook her head and climbed upon the beasts back anyway, she'd wake up from this dream soon anyway, why not have some fun while she's here?

After the wolf had taken Lauren back to the edge of the forest where the middle entrance was Lauren had called her mom to come and pick her up.

Lauren zoned out for most of the car ride, her mom noticed that there was something off about her daughter but knew her enough not to ask. Lauren would come to her when she's ready.

Lauren huddled into herself as she walked through the crowned high school hallway; she tried to make herself as invisible as possible. She limped through the crowds with her crutches as she walked to her next class.
