Xavier brought us to a spot in the woods that was surrounded by trees that created a small circle clearing. There were lily's and other wildflowers springing up from the ground, in the middle of the small clearing was the stump of what seems to have been a huge tree. Xavier had a picnic basket on the trunk and he brought some of my art supplies out. I looked at him, he was looking at me with a sheepish smile on his face.
He rubbed his hand around the back of his neck," Too much?"
I grinned and gave him a small hug before tugging him towards the tree stump. I pointed for him to sit, then pointed to the canvas. Chucking he moved to the spot I pointed at. Time seemed to slow as I painted him sitting on the stump of what was probably once a beautiful tree. The sunlight hit his hair at just the right angle, his eyes watched me with so many emotions burning in his eyes I couldn't pinpoint them all. After two hours of painting, my stomach decided to growl.
Xavier chuckled, moved from his spot, and began unpacking the picnic basket he brought. He pulled out a whole chicken, some mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, and some bottled tea.
"We're wolves, and Lisa stopped me from adding another chicken." He muttered while making a plate then handing it to me.
I frowned, " Another chicken is a good idea, one for you and one for me."
"Really, a whole chicken."
"I'm a wolf."
"But your so tiny!"
"I am not."
"Yeah you are."
"Shut up and eat."
We ate in silence, not the awkward silence, but a content one. I made my way to Xavier's lap hesitantly, before settling into his warm embrace. He ran his fingers through my hair while humming a song.
"What are you humming?" I asked.
"It's a lullaby my mother would sing to me whenever I awoke from a nightmare."
"It's beautiful."
He looked down at me as I looked up at him, " I know."
We stayed in the clearing for another hour or do just enjoying the peace and serenity nature had to offer.

Werewolf" Do you know why she won't talk to me?" He asked my wolf. The little traitor nodded my head. " Why won't she tell me? She trust me right?" His voice was sad. Before I could understand what was happening, I felt my body shift from wolf to human. Tha...
