Memories of Midnight

Part 2 *Vixen*

~Back in reality...~

I looked around and realized I was sitting in a small car. We had stopped on the side of the road and that's when I noticed everything. The driver was hunched over the wheel and windshield was broken, just like the rest of the windows. Two large men where sitting beside me, but both were motionless. Theirs as the driver's ears were bleeding and the driver had glass shards lodged into his skull. I could smell death on all of them. Suddenly a body in the passenger seat began to move and that's when I realized it was Nate. He was still alive. He turned around towards me when the door to my left opened and the dead man fell out. I looked up to see the boy from the hospital standing there looking at the body. I looked back at Nate when the boy shot out his hand and grabbed me.

"Hurry Vixen! I heard your call!"

As I tried to reach out Nate grabbed my ankle, scratching me and leaving cuts. I yelped like a wounded puppy and snapped at his hand. He yelled out in pain, tearing his hand away as I felt two gentle hands grabbed my waist and pulled me out of the vehicle. I stared at the wreck that was before me while the boy took my hand and started running. When we reached the edge of the woods we stopped and the boy pulled me into a hug and held me close to him.

"Oh Vix, I've missed hearing that beautiful howl of yours."

He pulled away and held me at arms length and looked at me with the same gaze from earlier in the hospital. I looked at him with a blank expression, having no idea what he meant. Then slowly his bright hazel eyes dimmed with pain and sadness. He let go of me and watched me sadly.

"Do you...do you even remember me?"

I looked at him closely and felt a familiarity about him. The longer I stared at him the more I felt a force pull me closer to him and he quickly stiffened. I put my face towards his neck, feeling him relax as if he was used to this. I sniffed him then softly ran my tongue lightly over his skin. In an instant my mind was bombarded with images, memories.

~Inside my mind...~

A boy stood in front of me as an old woman walked me into a house in the middle of the forest. His smile was bright and full of confidence. He held out his arm, offering to take me off her hands. 10 years later we were together every minute of the day, showing me how to control my new abilities. We had fallen in love and were about to start our new lives together after three years of him getting the courage to propose to me. The old women had stopped us one day, saying it was time my body had woken up. It was minutes before it was time for me to say goodbye and we stood underneath the trees. I hugged him tightly as I lightly ran my tongue over his neck. He whispered in my ear and I looked up at him turning red.

"I love you too..."
