I run out into the pearly white snow, not even feeling the burning cold on my bare arms, I just keep running.Through the rusty gates, right into the woods.
I have no idea where I'm going, I pray to the village.
Home.
Home is everything I want right now, to be back in my mother's arms, hug her close and have her caress my back while she tells me stories of how dad and her meet or any other love story. We'd laugh behind a cup of tea while eating mum's amazing biscuits.
I hear rustling behind me and turn around,scared to find the monstrous beast following me, but there's nothing. I stand still in the middle of a clearing, trees surround me, making me slightly claustrophobic as I hear more shuffling of feet and leafs, slight crunching below the thing, or things, lurking in the bushes.
A sound.
Shit.
Wolves.
Wolves, countless wolves are slowly moving closer, from their shelter in the woods. I whimper as they growl at me, making bite-motions with their large teeth on show.
"Please."
Tears prickling my eyes.
"Please go, go 'way."
They come awfully close, I feel their breaths on my overly exposed thing,but really the cold is the last thing I think about right now as I see one of the yellow-eyed wolves stare me in the eyes,ready to attack.
Then one of the grey creatures jumps, his opened mouth ready to rip the flesh of my leg apart, but before it's teeth can set into the skin the animal is plucked out of the air and thrown against one of the near tree trunks. It's whimpers momentarily filled the air before the other wolves jump on me and my savior.
I close my eyes, wanting out of this nightmare-scenario.
"Please."
I whisper a last time before I'm out.

"Good morning, doll."
I hear Liam's comforting voice before I see him, looking over me.
"Where- What even happened."
"Love, you run out into the snow - please never do that again, I was worried sick - but we saw clouds appear and knew there'd be a snow storm soon, so we all went out looking for you, as I said, never run out like that again, you could have died in the snow."
"But I remember wolves and-"
"Well, master found you in a clearing, surrounded by the beasts. You are so lucky, I hope you realise that. They could've easily ripped your head off."
I lay still, trying to remember the whole scene, before I blacked out. My savior? The beast? Was it even possible? Well must be since I'm back here.
"I- I have to go thank him."
"Oh doll, I don't think that's a good idea right now? Master is in a lot of pain as of right now and-"
"What happened?"
"One of the wolves bit him right in the arm, wasn't a pretty sight for sure."
"Oh no, that's my fault, Liam. I got to apologise and thank him for saving me."
I get up from the bed and before Liam can push me back onto it, I rush out of the room.

"Monsieur Louis, what are you doing here? I thought Liam was staying with you."
"Is he alright?"
I ignore Niall, pointing at the bed. He/ is laying there. He seems to be peacefully sleeping except he frowns in his sleep every few seconds, probably from the pain in his arm. I walk closer to the big bed, Niall taking a step back as I do so.
"Be careful."
He quickly whispers as I take the washing cloth of the wound. I gasp. There's a large scratch, bloody and red, all the way from his elbow to his wrist.
"I'm so sorry."
"Monsieur-"
"You can go to Liam, Niall. I'll stay here with him."
"You sure?"
"Mhm"
