The fire was encasing me, closing in a if I was its designated victim,. Then I saw the eyes. I sit straight up in bed gasping for air as if the fire really happened. I can't fall back asleep so I decide to go for a walk in the woods. I get up and move into our living room and silently open the window. I listen for footsteps then slip outside. Its a beautiful night I smile and jump the gate into the woods. I sigh and sniff the air. The crisp fall air smells amazing. I walk for about an hour it really clears my head. I come to a clearing and decide to sit for awhile. I lay down and watch the stars. I fall asleep for a few minutes but then I hear a stick crack. I sit up and listen. Then I see the eyes. They were the eyes of a wolf. "Hello." I say to the wolf. "You can come out." I motion for it. The wolf slowly start to emerge. It's sleek black coat is shining in the moonlight. It comes very close to me. I reach out and stroke it's fur.

"Arrhohohooo!" It howls. I gasp and pull my hand back.

"Hey shh its ok relax." I whisper. The wolf backs up a bit. I sigh and lay back down. Within a few minutes the wolf is curled up into my side. After about half an hour I get up to go home. I don't realize it but, the wolf is following me. When I get home and hop the gate I hear the soft padding of the wolf's paws hit the ground. "Hey you're going to sleep in the shed tonight ok?" I say as I set down a blanket and fill a bucket with water. The wolf lays down and I smile and close the shed door. I slip through the window and head back to bed. I fall back asleep and this time no dreams.
