Wolves with Wings(Wattys2015)

Chap. 20 Nate's View

   (Nate's POV)

            (the next POVs are a little after the other meeting POVs)

  Shasta and I started walking North, where we thought we would find the others. We would give only small conversation, which each time would lead to silence. It was quite boring, yet I liked it. It gave me time to daydream of things. Just different things, that only I would understand.

  Shasta would glance around every now and then, for what I truly wanted to know. But anyway as we walked in the snow, I had the feeling of discomfort. Like when someone or something that is unknown is near.

   "Nate do you feel as if someone is stalking us?" Shasta said to me braking the silence.

   "Yeah, sorta." I replied. She looked at me with a gleam,

   "Oh, good, I thought I was the only one who thought that." Shasta laughed. I smiled at her cewing laugh, I liked it for some reason. But then she suddenly stopped, frozen in the snow. I too felt something, something different that I had never felt before.

  As we were frozen something pounced out at us ramming right into Shasta.

  "Shasta!" I called, running to her. A large enemy wolf was raging, he slashed and bit at Shasta. I stepped back and rammed him the way he did to Shasta. He put his attention to me, his fangs all gnarled and broken. Making them more ferocious, I lunged at him, he quickly did the same.

   We met eachother paws strung at both our throats, I slashed at his eye leaving a scratch below his left ear. Shasta joined me in the fight and soon with the two of us fighting, we got him to retreat.

  We both fell tiredly to the ground and as we turned, our eyes locked. Her beautiful brown eyes meeting with my own, her ears falling back as mine did. We wouldn't look away from eachother as if we didn't want to miss something. We lay in the snow, which was uncomfortable yet I felt perfectly warm.

  Suddenly, a recognizable voice breeched the air.

    "Hey, you two!" End yelped joyfully. Shasta broke her eye contact with me and ran to End and Blizzard. I joined them, I wondered what that strange moment was. Was it perhaps what some call 'love?
