Aurora and the werewolf

3.

"Enzo are you okay?" A voice distracted Enzo from his deep thoughts about the beautiful golden-hair girl he saw last night.
"Yes I'm okay Peter, go back I'll stay here for a while." He said to his friend Peter, "Okay sir, see you later." He nodded at him and left the place, just like he wished.

Enzo took the woods road again trying to track the girl he saw earlier, a smile appeared on his face when he remembered her standing in front of him and how their eyes were locked together for a few seconds.
"I think here." He mumbled when he reached a remote cottage. It was not fancy or big but it was surrounded by a small cowshed and a chicken house. He took a deep breath again trying to focus on her smell and sense "Yeah, that must be her house." Enzo lowered himself and sat on a spot not too close to the house but enough for him to watch over and he waited for her here.

Enzo sat there for a little more, checking the area and the place she lived in.
He closed his eyes for a bit trying to remember her beautiful face again and how her eyes looked with his, that's when he heard a voice coming from her house.
He focused a little more on it and then the voice was maximized into his ears "She's my only daughter, I won't let you do that, If you have a problem with that bastard go and solve it yourself" He heard a woman voice who seemed mature and old, and she seemed angry.
"Aurora is my only daughter, and I love her but she is in the age of marriage now and the groom is a rich man, then why not Emma?" Another voice came in but this time it was from a man who seemed old too.

"Who is Aurora that they are talking about?" Enzo questioned himself, then he saw the house door open and there she was the girl he saw earlier.
"Let's go to Aurora." The older woman said to her, "She is Aurora." He said in a low voice "Why did the old man want her to get married? she is still young." Enzo thoughts.
He was so mad just thinking of her sad face and how her eyes were filled with tears, he walked after them to make sure Aurora was fine and saw another man running after them, calling their names.

"Mother where are we going?" Aurora asked while they were fast walking, it was almost sunset time. "To Laura's." She answered, "Why mother?" she paused "Why Dad was so mad at you?" Aurora asked, "Can we talk when we get there darling, It's getting dark outside." She had a point, staying outside at that time was not right for both of them, the woods are not a safe place for anyone at night you can't guess what could live in it.
"Aurora wait! I'm coming." They both heard Cillian screaming their names and running behind them. "Cillian son, what are you doing here?" Emma asked, "I'm not going to leave neither of you, and it's already getting darker let's go home mother." He begged her to go back with him but she made sure not to.
"No Cillian, we are going to stay at Laura's for the night, let's go," She said, "You are coming too?" Aurora asked in a happy excited voice, but before he said anything their mother answered that. "Yeah he is coming, I'm not going to let you go back alone."
"Mother I'm not a little child as you can remember, " He rolled his eyes "Yeah, I know but you are coming with us." She held Aurora's hand and Cillian's and started walking again.

"What a lovely surprise, come in Emma." Laura warmly welcomed Emma and her children to get inside her house, "Thank you, Laura, " Emma said, "Is everything okay? , you normally don't visit me at this time." She was confused about her friend's action, it was weird of her to do that.
"Yeah, I'll tell you everything later but we have to stay the night here if that's okay?" Emma asked nicely hoping she could understand, "Sure thing Emma, make yourself home." Laura smiled at them, "How big you are now Aurora, I'm amazed." Aurora smiled at her lightly.

While everyone was asleep Aurora was struggling at one of her dreams or let's say nightmares, "I don't want to." She whispered in her sleep.
Her brother woke up when he heard his little sister's voice, "Aurora are you okay?" He said in a sleepy voice, "Mm" Low noises were coming out of her mouth.
Finally, she was awake after a few tries from Cillian to wake her up from that nightmare that had her all shaken and sweaty, "Aurora you are fine, look at me." He had her small face in between his hands, "Cillian." Aurora said his name with tears in her eyes, "I'm scared."

"Don't be, I won't let anyone or anything ever hurt you." he paused "Do you want to talk about it?" He asked her and then whipped her tears.
She had one of her worst nights of sleep ever, Aurora saw the white wolf from earlier watching her as he did in the woods but his eyes were much reddish and scary.
"Today, I meant yesterday when we were in the woods I saw a big white wolf but no one else saw it.", "You saw a wolf?" He asked curiously, "Yes, I swear I saw him watching me in between the grass and the long tress." She said.
"I'm not saying that you are lying, but wolves don't come around here much, especially not in the daylight." He said, "I saw him" She lowered her face to the ground feeling sad because Cillian and Patrick didn't believe her, "I believe you okay, Do you want to talk about the nightmare?" He asked her and started brushing the little hair that covers her eyes, a small smile appears on her lips "I'm glad you are here Cillian.", "I'm always going to be with you, little sister." He smiled back at her.

Aurora took a deep breath preparing herself to talk about the nightmare she saw, "I was walking in a palace-like place, It was all in white like everything was clean and white" she paused "And I start walking around trying to find a way out, I couldn't scream or talk my voice was gone." Cillian walked towards a small table near them and bring a glass of water for her, "And?" He asked Aurora, then she took a sip of her glass "When I finally got to the big gate, the gate to get out of there I saw a big wolf. He was like protecting the gate." A tear slipped from her beautiful bluish eyes.
"Why are you crying now Aurora? It's just a dream." Cillian said, she took a deep breath and closed her eyes. "You are right, but I felt hopeless and scared. I couldn't run off" Cillian wipe her tears and said "I'm here and no one will ever hurt you." he paused "Go back to sleep now."

Enzo POV

The guy that ran behind them was Aurora's brother, that's what I got from their talk.
I walked after them and heard every word they said, but they were not comfortable. It's like they were afraid of something.
Especially the mother I could smell her fear from miles away, yes I can smell the emotions like fear or anger.
I watched Aurora's beautiful face when she saw a small rabbit playing near her feet "Mom look how cute his ears are" She said with laughter, a smile appeared on my face too.

I smell someone from my pack coming on my way, I waited for him to arrive "Peter, what are you doing here?" I asked, "Sir, your family are asking about you and they sent me here to tell you to come over tonight for dinner at the palace." He said at once with heavy breaths, "Thank you for the message Peter, Maybe I will join later." My family always tries to keep me close to them, even though I don't live with them anymore but they had a room for me and always waited to come over.
A lot of events happened back then that made me take this step to live on my own, and I'm fine now.
" Let's get inside." I heard the brother saying to his mother and sister.

I don't know what is making me so opposed to Aurora and why I was following her around but I know that I'm happy doing it.
"Wait for me Peter, " I said, "Yes sir, " He answered, "I'm coming with you."
