My Wolf , My protector

This is my first harvest moon fanfic so any useful tips are welcome.

Chelsea is as we all know a rancher on her small farm on sunny island. She had been there only a few seasons and had made a lot of awesome friends like Natalie, Denny, Julia, and her best friend Vaughn.

One morning Chelsea decided to go for a walk in the forests after she had finished her chores. Then finally at 4 pm Chelsea had finished her work. As she stood in her fields she looked over the river that was on her property and the woods on the other side. The hot summer air had cooled down in the after noon and walking though the woods was the perfect thing to cool her off.

As she crossed the bridge to the forest a cold shiver ran down her spine. She had then remembered the warning that Vaughn had giving her the previous week.

"Chelsea please I don't think it's safe for you in the forest." he protested "why it's always been ok before…" she asked. Then he sighed and tipped his hat. "because when I went in the woods yesterday I saw wolf tracks…. Fresh ones too…" her eyes widened she knew that Vaughan didn't joke around and that a wolf was a whole another story then the wild dogs on the island. " Ok I'll try and be careful of the wolf…" he glared at her from under his hat then sighed again. " Chelsea …. I don't want you to go into the woods at all." she stared at him. She knew it was dangerous but how could he ask her not to go to her most favorite place on the island.

He saw her shocked face and tipped his hat up to look in her eyes. They were sad… he knew that was her favorte place to go but he didn't want her to get hurt….. He would never forgive himself if something ever happened to her…

"Chelsea … I'm not saying that you can't ever go there again it's just…. I'd feel better if I knew you were safe." she looked at her feet. She knew he mint well …. "So when will I be able to go there again?" "Look if I'm on the island when you want to go to the forest ask me to go with you."

She glared at him then said "WHAT! Do think I'm some little kid who needs there hand held all the time!" he jumped back n surprise. "Look Chelsea I know your good for defining yourself it's just …. A wolf is too much to risk." he said trying to keep his voice in check.

Then he said "look if you absolutely have to go to the forest then follow all of theses rules.. Ok."

She nodded "alright then…rule1: tell someone were you are going and when your going to be back." "ok" he put his hand on his whip and said " rule2: always have something to defined yourself with." then he cracked the whip at a log and it spilt in half. Chelsea stared in amazement. Vaughn smirked "rule3: never ever go out at night."

Chelsea hugged Vaughn as he tried to hide his blush under his hat. "okay Vaughn I promise."

"good so… can you let go now.."

Chelsea thought for a moment she had her axe and hoe with her so she was well protected. And she had tolled Natalie that she was going for a walk in the woods.

And there was still a few more hours before sundown. Smiling at her self Chelsea continued on with her walk.

Chelsea hummed happily and stopped every once in awhile to pick flowers and herbs.

Then she looked at the sky and noticed how late it had gotten. 'crap Vaughn would soo kill me right now…" she though "Ok time to find the way out before…(howls)" she was interrupted by the sound of howling. (Howls) Chelsea slowly turned around to come face to face with a wolf. Chelsea stared at it with fear and awe… it just stood there staring back. It didn't seem interested in attacking but Chelsea had her hoe in hand just in case.

Still standing there Chelsea observed the wolf more closely it was one if the most biggest and beautiful things she had ever seen. It's silver fur it's, strangely familiar purple eyes.

And it stood at least to her shoulder.

After awhile of staring at each other the wolf left and Chelsea ran like a wild bat out of hell. Then after running all the way back home she locked the door and hid under the covers of her bed. Soon sleep over came her and she dreamed…

"No leave me alone!" Chelsea screamed as she ran through the woods with a pack of wolfs right behind her until they had finally they had formed a circle around her. Tears stared to form in her eyes. Thinking that this was the end she cried. Until she heard a recognizable howl. From up on a tall rock was the silver haired wolf that she had met in the woods.

It leaped from the rocks and down to Chelsea putting it's self between the rancher and the pack.

It growled at the wolf pack threatening anyone of them to come near. The pack left deciding not to fight the silver covered wolf. Then with a huff the wolf sat in front of Chelsea and licked her tears away. She smiled and petted the wolfs head and scratched behind it's ears. "Thank you for saving me." she said as it wagged it's tail then look at her with it's deep purple eyes.

Chelsea awoke with a start when she realized that she had been in a cold sweat. Then looking at her clock it was morning. What a strange dream she though. As Chelsea worked that morning her mind wondered back to the wolf in her dreams.

Latter on that afternoon Chelsea sat in the festival meadow looking at the clouds tile someone had hovered over her saying. " So it sounds like you got the crap scared out of you." she squinted her eyes holding a hand over them. "Hi Vaughn." she said and sat up.

"How'd you know were I was?" he sat down beside her and said " Natalie told me that yesterday you went to the forest and ran out of there so fast that you almost ran her over."

He said completely avoiding her qeston. "So what happened out there."she sighed and looked at him. "I saw a … wolf." his eyes widened. "You… you saw a wolf!" he said almost in a panic. She looked at her feet. "Yha… but you know whats weird?" he stared at her. "What" she looked strait in Vaughan's eyes.

"When I got a good look at it… it looked a lot like you." he sat there speechless. Then Chelsea continued. "It has silver fur. Like your hair, and it's almost as tall as you just a foot or two shorter. But what got me the most was it's eyes… It had the same purple eyes." Vaughn sat there wide eyes, mouth open, and pale. Chelsea stared at him. "Vaughn" she said reaching out a hand. He finnaly snapped out of it and took her hand.

"Wow… that dose sound weird." he said holding her hand tighter. "Maybe you shouldn't go back for a waile if it scared you that bad." she nodered her head. "Alright… um I need my hand back." she said as a small blush had formed on her face. "Oh… sorry.." he let go and said "Um… it's getting late is it… ok if I walked you home?" she smiled "Ok" so they walked back to Chelsea's house.

Once inside Chelsea sighed and got ready for bed. Laying under her sheets she stared at her hand and sleep took over once more she dreamed of the strage wolf that had been on her mind all day.

Ok so that's it so far please review and tell me what you think. No flames.
