Love For Life!!!

Into The Woods

As the trees separated into a clearing, the two teenagers walk along, in awe of their surroundings. They find a large log and sit down.
"So Miss Elizabeth, what do you want to talk about?" Benjamin says with a grin.
She looks at him suspiciously, trying to keep her chill, just in case he was a psycho of some kind.
"Um, I don't know. What do you want to talk about?" Elizabeth replies, a tone of fear in her voice.
Benjamin stands slowly, and takes Elizabeth's hand. He beckons her to stand up.
"Wait, wha-" She stammers.
"We need to go. Now." He replies.
Before Elizabeth can say another thing, Benjamin is dragging her through the trees! The trees get tighter and tighter together, and Benjamin runs faster and faster, faster than a normal person of any kind. It was at this point that Elizabeth noticed this strange boy's extreme speed. She looks behind, and screams. There were 3 large wolves, that looked strangely familiar, running towards them.
"Arghhhhhhh!" She yells.
Benjamin grabs her tighter.
"Don't scream at them! It only arouses them more!" He says menacingly. "They live for the taste of blood..."
His voice is now tight and husky, and Elizabeth could almost bet that there was a wince of pain in there too. A begins to run even faster, and eventually the wolves stop running, panting deeply, saliva dripping down their teeth. Benjamin has stopped in front of a large cave of dirt in the side of a hill.
"When my father and mother fight, I say I'm going to the hill, and here's where I stay." He still sounds like he's in pain.
"Are you okay? You sound like you're hurt." Elizabeth whispers.
He stands there panting, like the wolves had earlier. He looks up, and Elizabeth sees he has changed. Everything is natural except for the eyes. They have turned to a bright yellowish-green, the pupil more like a cat's now. Thin and glassy. Elizabeth tenses, and watches as he stumbles slowly into the cave. As Elizabeth goes to follow, a huge light shines out of the entrance, blinding her momentarily. When the light went dim once more, a deep growl comes from in the cave.
"Benjamin? Is that you?" Elizabeth asks slowly, and carefully.
The pat of footsteps comes slowly to the entrance, and stops before the light.
"You mustn't see me like this..." He says, his voice different now. More deep. More gorgeous.
Elizabeth walks towards the cave once more.
"I must see you. I don't know my way out of here alone!"
There is another low grumble from the cave, and a large, black, shiny paw steps into the light. Then another, before the beautiful head of a Black Panther shines in the light, those eyes glistening once more. Elizabeth is speechless. His long flowing body steps out as well, and she sees just how big he is.
"This is going to sound weird, but can I touch your fur?" She asks warily.
The magnificent cat stares at her for a second, and then nods deeply and slowly. She walks over to Benjamin, and runs her hand over his sleek, ebony back. She expected it to be course to the touch, but instead it was soft, like a kitten's fur.
He lays down in the soft grass, the sun baking on his back. Elizabeth follows, and softly leans against him. He lets out a big sigh, and Elizabeth lets out a big yawn.
"Ooo-Pardon me!" She says quickly.
Benjamin curls up around her softly, and they are both soon asleep...
