The Lunar Saga: Crescent Moon (Book 1)

Chapter 20: The Clearing

“Do you mind if I run in my wolf form? Sometimes running is the only way” I said to him

“What do you mean?” he tilts his head with curiosity

“Don’t worry, we can go around Forks. Last time …well a couple of times I almost changed. Wasn’t my intention… you can’t keep a wolf in it’s a cage for too long.” I said to him “So do you want to run with me or just keep staring?” I smiled  

He seemed he already made a decision without heisting “Well, I’m pretty fast.” He slightly chuckled

“Faster than Leah?” I questioned him

“hmm..I’m not sure, I never really raced with wolf before. I guess you’ll be the first.” he grins

“Well she’s really fast for a small wolf I mean” I giggled, for a sec.

 I completely forgot all about my anger with Leah and the guys.

“You do seem quite bigger than the others, almost the size of Jacob and Sam.” With an odd tone. “How are they treating you?”

I looked away, after what happened earlier this morning I didn’t want to think about it. Epically what Paul mentioned danger towards the Tribe? I couldn’t bare to imagine.

“I apologize; I didn’t mean too.” He said

In his eyes seemed puzzled. I couldn’t quite figure but I simply avoid his gaze. Being in the forest with him made everything seemed quite still, calm, and peaceful. The sound of trees whispering through the forest, deep into the darkness where no human was bound to be.

“You’re difficult to read.” He finally spoke as I bring back my senses.

“Am I really?” I said

He nodded gently. We went around Forks in my human form. The thought of being in my wolf form would bring people on edge for a hunting ground. I didn’t want La-Push in danger for my mistakes. He didn’t mind the silent walk between us. Every move I made, he followed. Every inch I toke, he takes. Every breathe I held, he wondered. He made me wondered as well. He seemed lost with words as we both stopped. Being far from Forks and La-Push.

“Why are you making me feel this way?” I took a step back

“Feel as what?” He eyes seemed puzzled again

“As if…. as if…” I looked down in frustration

He made me feel as if I finally belong somewhere. In his eyes I see cold and confusion… but looking deep into his golden eyes, you see a man smiling. Who isn’t afraid? Who would follow?  Be near if you’re in danger?  There was something about him.

“What are you thinking?” He came across my gaze

His accent was different from the modern society, with such grace.

I couldn’t stop staring at him. I’ve heard stories of his kind but in my heart… I felt he was different from the others.

“I’m just thinking… of how you’re different?” I said

“Different?” He said

“From the stories I’ve heard.” I said “They say there’s a cure for me, only reason why I’m staying in La-push.”

“What cure?” He said

“F-for …being human again?” I strutted

“…you want ...to be human again?”  

I nodded gently while tears ran through my face slowly

“Why?” He said curiously

“…because I’m a monster. Look at me? All I do is hurt people…what if their right? What if I do hurt the tribe?”
