The Lunar Saga: Crescent Moon (Book 1)

Chapter 31: A dream with her

Kris’s POV

-Dream-

I opened my eyes as I felt the earth leaves surround me from the deep misty forest.

“Where am I?”

I slowly rose. Everything was broad daylight but I can barely see anything from this thick fog.

“Why am I barefooted? And where are my clothes? What’s with this white dress? ..seems a bit short for my taste. At least it’s a bit poufy from the bottom” I smiled at the thought

I slowly tried to recall my memory as I began to walk, carefully not to grab any attention.

For some reason, I felt I was being watched.

“Whose there?” I shouted

But no answer just the deep whispers

I felt these woods were older than me, the peace, sadness, and love for the ancient forest before mankind destroyed everything in its path. I’m not sure how I know that but I felt its energy within me.

My feet were hurting after I realize I’ve been walking around in circles. Everything looks the same and I can’t seem to form. It would be a lot easier if I had my wolf senses.. I sign at the thought

Suddenly, I heard a twig snap

I looked back as my heart began to pound out of fear

“Control yourself” I lowered my voice   

I took deep breaths as my eyes began to search

He finally stepped into my view where I can see him clearly. I took a step back and walked away as possible as I can.

He was very tall, with dark short hair with a bit of a facial hair going on. He was all dressed in black. Black leather coat, black t-shirt, black pants, and black shoes. Why is he all dress in black for? My funeral? I don’t want to die.

I began to pick up my pace in my human form.

Damn it! If only I can form into my wolf . Why aren’t I forming? I dodge tree’s and branches, I did not care for the pain of my feet or the dress being torn to bits. Getting away from this man was my only priority of safety.

I finally stopped behind a thick oak tree. It’s not easy running in my human form. I’m already out of breaths here. I try to control my breathing once more as I peeked behind the tree to see him from a distance.

But then I realize the man was only larking

“Why is he being playful? Doesn’t he know creeping someone the hell out in the woods isn’t right!” as I sign

He looked so familiar though. Where have I seen him?

“I didn’t meant to scare you” he chuckled “Don’t worry, I won’t bite” he raised his hands in surrendered pose

I tilted my head still keeping my distance

He came closer in each step

“I believe we met before” he smiled at me

“Oh ya?” I said still keeping my guard

He nodded

We looked at each other for quite awhile

He squinted his eyes

“Do you know who you are?”

“Of course, I do. What kind of question is that? ..pfsh” I said

“Then what it is?”

“I’m not telling you my name” I rolled my eyes

“hmm..well I’m Derek. It was nice meeting you, Kris” he slowly turned around and started walking
