The Witch and Her Werewolf

Chapter 3: The Dream Land

When I fell asleep, I woke up. I was on the couch but no sweet pup to pet. I had turned up in school and saw him, "Hey, where were you? I thought you were here to protect me." I was smiling and felt my eyes glow.

"What are you talking about, Liz? Why would I be here for you?" My heart sank as I heard those words, like, the one true person I knew turned into something I couldn't trust. "Aren't you here to protect me like the werewolf that you are? You protect witches." 

He stared dead at me. "You are a witch, just not one with powers. You are mean and rude, why would I protect you?" My heart cracked. "I thought you said.. I thought..." He cut me off, "Well you thought wrong, Liz." 

My heart broke again hearing him so harsh. I wanted it all to be a dream. I started crying, then I did what I normally did in dreams, some how, I woke myself up. 

I took a hand to my face and I felt a single tear on my cheek. A hand went to my cheek but it wasn't mine. Adrian was awake and was trying to calm me. I turned to him, I took a shaking hand to his face and I felt his skin on my skin. 

I smiled before hugging him and crying into his chest. "Princess, what's wrong?" He held me and let me cry. "I-I thought you left. I-I had a dream and it seemed so real..." He let go, sat up and pulled me onto his lap. He blushed a little and I was a volcano. 

"Lizzy, look, I'm right here. I'm not leaving you and you said it yourself. You had a dream that was really a nightmare and no matter how real it seems, you can always wake up and forget it." 

I smiled, a tear ran at his words, and his hand wiped it way. I don't think he saw, but I leaned into his touch and closed my eyes. I went to his ear, "Thank you, Wolfy." I kissed his cheek, hugged him tight and held him close.

He held me and I held him, there was no separating us at that moment. At this moment it felt like I was back into a dream but this time it was good. Was he the man or werewolf of my dreams, the one that would make my heart melt? 

I thought back to the dream I had had. That Adrian broke my heart, but the real Adrian, my Adrian, fix my heart. The dream land works in mysterious ways but it works. It made me realize that maybe I have feelings for Adrian.

 I thought of what that Adrian said and I was so glad that he was gone that I held the real Adrian tighter. He did the same, he held me tighter, like, he was making sure I was safe and that I felt better. 

At this moment I thank the dream land for bringing us closer that we were in just a day. But Adrian was right I can't escape the dream land and I can't hide from it, all I can do is...just wake up from the nightmare, look at reality, and see the dream right in front of my face. 

Adrian took his head out of the crook of my neck and kissed my cheek. We let go of each other and sat down on the couch. I decided to try my powers out on Adrian. Be as strong as a wolf. I turned into a wolf.

I pounced on Adrian and he fell off the couch. Adrian looked angry until he saw me. "Wow, your fur looks like rose gold."

He turned into a wolf and he pounced on me. I can always telepathically talk to you right? I thought to him. Yes you can.

I pounced on him again and we had a playful fight. I got tired and flopped on the floor. I turned back into myself and pulled out my phone, I found K-Love and it started to play Stars by my favorite band Skillet. 

Without knowing I turned into a wolf and sat down. "Hey, you okay, Princess?" Adrian barked. I sighed, "Yeah, I'm good." I barked back. He didn't buy it, he rubbed his body against mine and licked my ears. "You sure?" He whimpered. "Yeah, I'm sure." I whimpered back, but....

I felt weak for some reason. I started to fall but Adrian caught me again. "You aren't okay." He whimpered deeply. "Adrian, I feel weak. Why?" I was in so much pain. He licked my ears one more time then turned back into Adrian. I turned back into, well, me, he cared me to my room and laid me down on my bed. 

He crawled over me and genitally put his arms around me. "Thank you, Adrian." He cut me off before I could finish, "What for? I didn't do anything." I smiled, "You make me feel safer when your around." 

He looked at me and smiled. I smiled back and fell back into the dream land.
