Possession

Chapter 5

I was running. My legs were getting torn up by the branches and thorns in the forest. My hair slapped my face as I stopped to pant for breath, hearing a howl in the distance, but it was nearing me. My heart beat increased as I started running once more. The cold air hit my legs, making the cuts burn. It probably didn't help that I was in shorts. I tripped over a log and let out a cry of pain. Everything hurt and the wolf was closing in.

I heard more howling as it neared. Not only one wolf. Nine. A pack of wolves were coming after me. I somehow stood and started to run again. My heart was racing and my breathing was harsh and violent. I was so terrified of being hurt by such beautiful animals. I hid behind a tree as the pack passed. I gulped slightly as I waited for the all clear. I closed my eyes as my breathing started to actually go back to normal. I opened my eyes to see Niall standing five feet from me. My breathing once again picking up. He suddenly looked up and walked towards me, a small smirk on his face.

"Hello Saphira." He said softly. A small smirk on his face. "What are you doing out here this late?" He asked me once more. He was quickly approaching me.

"I.. I dunno." I whispered as his hands rested on my hips. For some reason it felt.... Natural. Like this was just how it was meant to be. As if he was the one meant for me and I was the only one for him. His lips suddenly found my neck. Kissing the bite mark that the wolf had left on me last weekend.

"Does this frighten you Saphira?" He asked me softly as he kissed up to my jawline.

I gulped sightly, licking my lips slightly. "No." I said softly. I looked at him as he pulled away from me and than eyed my lips. Was it normal to feel my heart going a million miles an hour and then feeling butterflies in my stomach? I thought that we were just friends. Nothing more. At least, that had been what I had wanted. But he'd wanted more. I had put him in the friend zone and he was taking himself out.

"Good." He said softly, before he cupped my cheeks, pulling my face to his. As our lips connected I felt so much. Sparks. Fireworks. Bombs. I had never expected this. Really I'd never expected anything like this. Especially not from this boy.

He deepened the kiss after I had come to my senses and kissed him back. He pulled away way too soon. I looked up at him panting softly. He smiled, pushing my hair behind my ear.

"Beautiful, I have to tell you something." Niall said. His voice soft, despite his rough Irish accent.

"Yes Niall?" I asked him softly.

He brought his lips down to my ear, whispering softly. "Wake up Princess." He whispered, kissing me one more time before he than pulled away and walked off.

I sat up in my bed, panting. It had all been a dream. A very good dream.

One thing was weird though. The bite mark that I had gotten only Saturday, was burning and my thoughts were all on Niall. I was his.
