Moon Child and The Wolf

Chapter 1

Juniper POV

I feel a slight breeze slide past me causing me to come out of my trance. I groggily look around until my eyes meet the clock. It's nine 'o' clock. The perfect time to go out and see what awaits me in my little slice of heaven. I hoist myself off of the couch and stride over to the door. I throw my converse on and take a slight look in the window. My messy brown hair brushing over my shoulder. My tan scarred skin. The one thing that I've always loved about myself is my eyes. One eye is a bright blue, the other is a ivy green. They make me...who i am. God what am I doing?! I gotta go before I lose moonlight. I walk outside into the crisp dark air enjoying the happiness it gives me. I take a deep breath in and break into a run towards the forest. 

I run as fast as my legs can go. I've always loved the forest. The forest is my escape. I run a little while longer until I reach the river.I huffed as  I bend down and drink some water. It felt fantastic! I lay down and listen to the forest's song. The trees branches making the melody, the birds singing the harmonies. It's perfect. I take a look at my watch and realize it's 1 'o' clock in the morning. Wow, I've been out for four hours! Usually I'm out for six but considering tomorrow is my first day of school and I have to get up at six. I should probably get home. I jump off the ground and off into the distance one last time. 

As I look across the lake, something catches my eye. My eyes widen and my breath gets stuck in my lungs. There's no way I'm seeing this! I'm losing my mind! There's a huge jet black WOLF!! I've always wanted to see one! But not in the state he or she is in. I can see it limp as it tries to get to the water. As if it knew I was looking, it looked up from the water and met my eyes. As soon as its eyes hit mine I felt a pull towards it.  Almost has if I needed to go to it. I take a step forward and slowly start walking around the lake. 

After some time I make it to the other side. Now I'm at least 10 feet from the wolf. It eyes still connected with mine. 

"Hey bud. I'm not here to hurt you. I just want to help." I say barely above a whisper.  It takes a step towards me and I simply just stay still. I don't want to make any sudden movements or it might scare him. 

"Will you please let me help you?" I say again a little louder this time. It's almost like it understood what I was saying and it walked towards me some more. It closed the gap some more Now he was only a foot away from me. I put my hand up a little. 

"I'm not here to hurt you. I'll take you home and we'll fix up your leg. How does that sound?" I say softly, looking into its deep emerald eyes. The wolf touches its nose against my hand and I feel a spark. It felt like an electric wave rush through me. The wolf looked as surprised as I was. I could think about this later but for now... I need to get this wolf home and healed. My only question is...Where did it come from? We don't get many around here. Anyways I stand up to my full height and start walking with the wolf behind me. I would carry him but holy shit.... It's almost as big as me!!
