Fionn POV
He was so amazing. They were the first humans well half-humans that I have ever met and they seemed really nice. My deer Fionn was as confused as I was about this man she wanted to stay by his side forever but also runaway because these were wolves. Our instincts were battling our instincts it seemed.
"Fionn be careful child. These creatures can be very sneaky." I heard a wispy voice say. "Yes...take care...be cautious..." Fragmented voices whispered.
"Don't worry my friends I'm going to try an go with him, but if anything happens just give a shout and I'll be out of there as fast as I can." I said through my mind to them.
He just finished introducing me to his friends which helped me relax a little. I just can't help but worry about what I'm getting myself into. I mean over 100 wolves!!! I can't help but want to go with him though. I feel like if I leave him I'll never feel whole again. I feel like he is the other half of my heart and now I just can't part from him.
"It"ll be just fine don't you worry." He bends down so he is eye level to me. "I won't let anyone hurt you or touch you, ok?" He smiles at me and stands pulling me to him and all at once my fears are pushed away and I can only think of how amazing it is to be right here with him. We breathe in each other's scents for a few seconds when there is an awkward clearing if the throat. "Ummm...Trav...five minutes." I hear one of his friends say nerviously. Travis just turns his head and growls at them and I hear them take a step back. I slowly pull away from him and he looks a little sad but then he takes my hand and we begin the walk back to his pack. "Can you shift for me?" Travis suddenly asks me. I look at him shocked a moment then reply nervously, "maybe but I don't know if my instincts will allow me to stay in the camp very long." "Ok well that will have to do my tents on the other side of camp next to my fathers, he's the alpha so no one will mess with us once we are there the tents set up closest to ours are these four and their parents. Can you hold out till we get to my tent?" I nod slowly.
"I think so."
"I'm sorry I would go around the camp entirely but the pack would smell me and wonder why I was avoiding them and if I let you go around by yourself someone might smell you and try to...ummm...hunt you." He says guiltily.
"I-it's f-fine." I stutter with an awkward smile. Wonderful now I have to walk through the whole camp...as a deer, but that is better then being alone and hunted down by a wolf or *gulp* wolves.
"No it's not fine. I'm sorry about this." He stops and takes my hands into his and strokes them with both his thumbs.
I look up at him and smile shyly.
"It's ok. I am worried and nervous but I believe you. No one will touch me with you by my side."
He inhales sharply and suddenly I'm squished against him with his head in my hair and I'm wrapping my arms around his neck gently. "Ummm...Travis," I whisper his name gently "umm...your hurting me." He loosens his grip on me and says, "say it again."
"What?"
"Say my name again he says into my hair." I just giggle and he lets out a little moun. "Ummm...Travis." I say gently. He sighs in contentment had relaxes in my arms, before Trent whispers to his other friends. "She's got him in the palm of her hand already." Travis whips his head around and glares at Trent. Who backs up a little. "I heard that." he says gruffly. The rest of us giggle and we keep walking. My tension was almost completely gone until Travis turns to me both hands holding mine.
"It's time." He says guiltily.
I nods and back up. Closing my eyes I wonder what he'll think of me. I hear gasps from them as I open my eyes. Travis is smiling eyes proud and the others are wide eyed with their mouths on the ground. I slowly step toward Travis and he closes the distance with two steps. The holds his hand out to me palm up and I cautiously place my nose in his palm. Wanting him to stroke me. "Your...your...solid white..." I hear clarity say breathless. "Yes, yes she is." Travis says amazed running his hands down my neck and face. Travis is still taller then me. I only stand at 5'9" in deer form. I'm not that big. As we near the camp I find myself up against Travis trying to hide against him. The first ones we encounter are wolves they are patrolling the perimeter Travis tells me. They look stunned when they see me next to Travis and they make me a bit giddy, but they just stare and move on. When we enter the camp people stop whatever they were doing to stare in amazement at me. I hold my head high telling myself. No fear...no fear...no fear...Travis won't let anyone touch you. When we entered the camp the other four made a semi circle on the sides and to the back of me at first it made me feel like I was captured but Travis's hand never left my head or neck. When we made it to his tent I was exhausted from keeping a front up and trying to calm down every time and unfamiliar noise was heard. Travis led me inside and I immediately clasped breathing a sigh of relief shifting back to human form. I didn't have the energy to form clothes so Travis gave a start, turned, and grabbed a t shirt out of his bag handing it to me and turning his back I managed to barely get the shirt on when Travis turned hearing me fall again. I did the only thing I could do and lifted both arms up to him. He chucked. His shirt was a dress on me and went to my knees, so when he picked me up he tucked it around me, and he laid me on a large soft thing that was meant for sleeping. He turned to go but I grabbed his hand my fear spiking. "You can't go," I whispered tiredly, "please." I asked desperately. "I just can't say no to you can I." He chuckled and changed his shirt and pants making me turn my burning face away. He picked me up again moving me to the inside of the bed so he could lay between me and the tent door. He covered us both up and wrapped his arms around me and I was lost to the world, safe in his arms.
