Essence | Paul Lahote X male character

1.Welcome Home

I walk through the forest in no direction in particular. Everything is new and unfamiliar. The forest is calming, forests always calm me. I start to lose myself in my thoughts, thinking about everything that has happened. My thoughts are interrupted as I felt another presence close by. I turned and I saw a large silver wolf watching me, Normally someone would be scared but it seemed...familiar.  The wolf started to growl, the growl was directed past me. I turned to see a man smiling at me. Isaac. Fuck.

"Hello Kade, I miss you. When will you come back love?"

"Get the fuck away from me!"

"Is that any way to speak to your boyfriend?"

Before I know what's happening he rushed at me and pins me to the ground. I try to fight back but for some reason nothing I try works. I guess we're doing this the old fashioned way. I kick my knee right into this balls. Nothing. 

"You should have known that wasn't going to work." He grins.

I try to hit him again but before I am able to land a blow the wolf from before pounces onto Isaac. The two fight for a bit before the wolf gets the upper hand a pins him to the ground. Isaac tries his best to get out of the wolves grasp but fails. The wolf sets it's jaws on Isaac's face before ripping his head off.

The wolf turns towards me again, this time walking in my direction. I start slowly backing up not knowing what the wolf will do.  It gets close enough and I close my eyes, was this my end? However where I expected the cold release of death, I felt a warmth I had never experienced before. I opened my eyes to see the wolf leaning its head on my chest. It looked like a large puppy. I chuckled a little as I moved my hands to hold its head. I leaned my head down against the wolves and closed my eyes. When I opened my eyes I found myself in another world.

I was in the passengers seat of my dad's car. Outside the window, the forest flew past us. It was all just a dream but it felt so real. I know it was more than just a dream but it wasn't the same as the visions I've had before. Doesn't matter, not now at least. I turn and look at my dad, Was he driving all night? He must have seen that I woke up because he smiled at me before turning back to the road.

"Morning sleeping beauty. Have a nice nap?"

"Best I could get in a car."

"Sorry about that kiddo, don't worry we aren't far now. Once we get there you can sleep for as long as you want."

"Eh, I'm up now and I should probably unpack as much as I can today."

"Sounds good to me." He points at a sign. "Look were here, Forks, Home sweet home."

I look out at the town as we drive past. It's small but not too small, which is my favorite type of town. I like the big cities but I would never be able to live in one. Eventually we pass through town and continue along the road. A 10 minutes pass before we pull up to a nice house surrounded by trees.
