Moonlight Sun 2

Stay The Night

I woke up in a cold sweat after my third nightmare that week. All three times I was a werewolf fighting Kenyon, and twice I had killed him but this time he had killed me and I died in his arms in my human form. His eyes were filled with tears and so much pain, that it broke my heart.

"Please don't leave me!" He murmured. "Stay with me."

Tears streamed down my face while I took in my last breath. "I'm s-sorry, Kenyon!"

I woke up to an odd scratching sound, at first I ignored it and tried to get back to sleep. It was beginning to set in that I was home alone. I wanted to call Kenyon again and take him up on his offer to guard the house, but I remembered that Kenyon had trained Benny for that very reason.

I was so glad that Kenyon was able to train Benny, and I was able to adopt him from the shelter. Benny was now the dog I always knew he could be.

The scratching didn't stop, it even woke up Benny who was now down stairs whimpering. I followed the sound to the back door where Benny was scratching at the back door and whimpering. He then ran up to me, and then looked back at the door, where the scratching noises continued.

"What is it boy?"

He walked back up to the door and began scratching again and then he let out a bark. Not soon after, there was another bark on the other side of the door and then a howl.

I slowly opened the door and there was a slightly oversized wolf licking and scratching the screen door. Benny let out and excited bark. I smiled. "You can say that again." I opened the back door and the wolf scampered into the kitchen. No sooner did I close and lock the door, the wolf attacked me with wet kisses to my face and nearly knock me over.

"Kenyon." I giggled. "Stop it!"

The wolf sat down in front of me and looked at me with his tail wagging. I noticed a white piece of yarn around his neck. I followed it with my fingers to the back of his neck where I found a folded piece of paper. When I pulled it out of the string, he laid down still looking up at me as I read the note.

Dearest Sweet Sorrell,

I decided to take you up on your offer to stay the night with you, but I have a few stipulations.

I remain in wolf form.\

I leave first thing in the morning and will be gone most likely before you wake up.

This is Just For Tonight!

I love you, Always

Kenyon.

I smiled, and scratched the wolf behind the ears. "I guess I can live with that."

He stood up and gently licked my face.

"Well, I guess we all should get to bed." I said excitedly and just after I said that, my wolf sprinted up the stairs. Benny and I followed behind.

When I got to my room, the he was sitting on my bed with his gorgeous copper eyes glowing from the moon's refection of through the window. He then ran up to me and I rubbed his smooth soft fur on his head. He then walked over to the bed and used his teeth to pull back the covers. I scratched him behind the ears and slipped into bed. Both Kenyon and Benny laid beside the bed on the floor.

"Goodnight Kenyon! Goodnight Benny!"

I woke up that morning staring into the same gorgeous copper eyes, but now they were attached to the handsome human face of my boyfriend who was laying in my bed beside me.

"Good morning sunshine!" He smiled.

I smiled back. "Hey!"

"That is impressive." He said.

"What is?"

"You're even beautiful in the morning." He brushed a stray bang from my face.

I blushed. "I thought you said you would be gone when I woke up."

"I just was going to give you a good bye, kiss and then you woke up."

I sucked my bottom lip. "Well, what's stopping you."

He smiled. "Nothing!" He pressed his warm lips to mine and caressed my cheek.

Just then there was a knock at my bedroom door. "Sorrell, I'm home open up!"

"Dad!"
