I feel a small fluffy warmth on the side of my face. My eyes open and Tiger is on the side of my face, sleeping. I smile and gently lift her up without waking her and move her. I get up and go make breakfast for my mom. "Well whats this?" My mom says surprised.
"Mom, I made you breakfast!" I smile. My mom raises her eyebrow.
"Why..." She says nervously.
"Well come look." I say as I lead my mom to the shed. I open the door and my mom gasps.
"What the hell is that Ivy!" It wasn't really a question.
"Mom please I found him in the woods please let me keep him, he's really good please?" I beg and plead finally she breaks.
"Fine fine you can keep him but I have some rules, he can't come out of your room after eight pm, you provide his food, he stays in the shed during our meals." I roll my eyes and smile.
"OK!" I say and pet the wolf's head.
"What are you going to name him?" My mom asks me.
"Um Animus, Latin for courage." I say scratching Animus between his ears.
"Ok." my mom makes a face. I roll my eyes and walk Animus to the house. When we walk in my sister, Maura screams.
"Ah! a wolf, oh my gosh!" Maura screams picks up Tiger and runs away.
"Maura he's my new pet nothing to fear!" Maura peeks her head around the corner.
"Does this mean I get to keep Tiger?" I look at Tiger nestled up in her arms fast asleep.
"Sure." I smile.
"Yay!" She runs away. I smile and in my room I start setting up Animus's bed as he jumps onto my bed. I smile and laugh as I finish up. The rest of the day I spend with Animus. When I finish dinner I let Animus in and he runs straight to my room. I smile as I watch him curl up. I pull out my journal and write. Dear diary, I had a great day with Animus! I was really surprised when my mom let me keep him but, he's such a sweetheart! Love, a happy girl.
