My Dead Mate (On Hold)

The Pack/ Memories

We walk into the back yard which is filled wiith a bunch of people, some are even in wolf form and wrestling. I instantly pressed against Dylan, trying to go unnoticed. This many werewolves in one place scared me. "Hey, it's okay. Everything's going to be fine. Trust me." I nodded, but still stayed close to him. That's when I saw Macy and she looked over to see me. She ran over and enveloped me in a big hug. I chuckle as she does and hug her back.

"So..."

"So, what?"

"Are you staying?"

"Apparently." I say looking at Dylan.

"Yeah!" Macy yells. "Thanks Dylan."

"No prob Mace." I just glared. Then he whistled and the whole pack looked our way.

"Alright everyone, this is Erica, She is under my protection so nobody will harm her! Everyone remember Jacob? Well, I just found out he was killed recently, by Larry," he says with tears in his eyes. There were cries of horror throughout the crowd and a few tears leaked out of my eyes just thinking about him. "Erica was his mate." Gasps filled the crowd. "Now I will protect her just like Jacob did," and with that he brought me up the steps and into the house.

I could feel it in my head. I was about to have a breakdown. That's when I faint and all the memories of Jacob play through my mind, memories since the time I met him to the time he died. it usually takes days for me to come out of it. It's happened three times since he died.

"Dylan."

"What is it?" he asks.

"I need to lay down."

"Why?"

"Dylan I'm going to be in like, a coma, for a few days. Please don't worry it will be fine. It's happened before." As I'm talking dots start to fill my vision.

"What? Why?" he asks worriedly. I can't answer though because everything goes black.

Dreams

In a coffee shop.

"Why, hello there." A guy says.

"Do I know you?" A girl asks.

"Nope, but I would like to know you."

"Bad pickup line," she says smiling.

"Yeah, I figured, but I've never tried it, so I thought I would."

"Not working."

"Ahhhh, come on, it should."

"Nope."

"Well..."

Her first time meeting Jacob. More images go through her head. Most of school the next day is their first date.

"Come on Jace (a/n pronounced Jake, Erica's nickname for Jacob) tell me where were going!" A girl whines.

"No, Rica wait!" The boy answers amused.

"Humph, I don't see why you can't tell me."

"Because it's a surprise."

"Fine." He leads the girl through some woods before they come into a clearing. The boy takes the blindfold off the girl. She see's a pond and a picnic set up. In the pond there are floating lilies on which each has a lit candle. "Wow," she breathes.

"Do you like it?"

"Yes." They go to the picnic and he pulls out MacDonald's bags. Then she laughs.

"What? I can't cook." She just laughs. After that they go swimming.

More images run through her mind... next is when he told her he was a werewolf.

"Rica, I need to talk to you."

"What's up Jace?"

"Please don't freak but I need to tell you something very important."

"I won't freak ,just tell me."

"I'm a werewolf."

"What?"

"I'm a..."

"I know , I mean I heard you."

"Well...?"

"Show me."

"Okay." Then he shifted into a wolf and she pet him.

More scenes blur through. Finally, the last scene, his death.

"Run, Rica, Run. Now! Remember what I told you. Go!" Growls, snarls and barks come from behind her. She keeps running faster and faster but she can hear footsteps coming up even faster behind her. A wolf jumps on her, but then another one pushes him off. She stumbles up and hears a voice inside her head say, "Go Rica and remember I love you." She runs and she hears a yelp behind her.

I wake up screaming. Dylan wakes up from where he's sleeping on a chair. "Are you okay?" He asks.

"Yes just a bad dream. How long was I out?"

"Four days. What happened?"

"Like I said, this has happened before. I pass out and every memory I have of Jacob plays through my head."

"Oh."

"Yeah."
