I was walking home from school when everything happened. My name is Angel. I had just finished tutoring and was walking home... The school is set out back away from town.. so there are alot of trees around. I was walking hone on a trail in the woods when i was broadsided by a big dog. And when i say big, i mean huge. It stood up to my hip and it was the prettiest black i had ever seen. It looked so shiny and soft. I was laying flat on my back with the big dog crouched low over me, lips curled with his very sharp teeth showing in a terrifying growl. It slowly looked around for a second and finally looked down at me. I had reached out and grabbed a sharp stick, but with the angle of him on me i couldn't get a good grip to stab him with it. He looked at it and growled at me. Of course i dropped it instantly. It slowly stepped off me and sat down on its haunches, just staring at me.
I slowly sat up on my butt and stared into its eyes. They were a bright green with gold around the pupils. Such beautiful eyes. It cocked its head at me and suddenly its mouthed opened and its tongue lolled out the side in a funny looking grin. I couldn't help it, I busted out laughing. "Wow! You are a gorgeous dog!" i said. He growled slightly and stood up to walk away.
"Wait! Maybe your not a dog then.. a wolf maybe?" i questioned. This "wolf" seemed very intelligent. It stopped and turned and walked straight up to me and slowly sniffed at my hand hanging at my side. It nudged my fingers with his cold wet nose. So i slowly ran my fingers through its shaggy fur at its neck. It was definitely just as soft as it looked. I heard a deep rumbling coming from it. Its eyes were closed and it was leaning into my touch.
"So, i take it you are a wolf. Your very beautiful. Where is your pack? Surely a handsome wolf as you has a mate and family waiting on you somewhere?" I questioned. It was so bizarre to me to stand here talking to a large overgrown wolf. That knocked me down.. like it was protective of me. It looked up at me sadly and turned to walk off again. So, i silently followed behind it. If this creature wasn't going to harm me then surely if i stuck by it, nothing would want to hurt me. So thats what i done. I followed behind. Looking from the back, he had a big long fluffy tail. I had a huge urge to grab it and run it through my hand. Silly me, i acted on the instinct. I walked closer to him and grabbed its tail and ran it through my hand. He stopped suddenly and pounced on me again. I found myself underneath its huge body again. But instead of hostility, it looked.. i don't know how it looked. It just stared in my eyes. I stared back sheepishly and said "I'm sorry.. I shouldn't have done that. It was just so fluffy and soft looking.. please forgive me.."
He slowly leaned its head down and put its cold black nose against my forehead then backed up and sat down agian. I laid on my back for a minute and stared up at the trees above me. Sunset was coming.. everything was starting to turn dark and eerie. I felt a tug on my pant leg and looked down. The wolf stared at me apprehensively. So i stood up and began walking again. This time with it by my side, my hand resting on its neck. Its ears keep twitching and it keep looking around nervously. I looked around with it.. and finally listened in. THere was no sound in this forest. Wasn't there usually noises in woods? Yeah.. there was none. Creepy.. I started walking faster and it matched my pace, looking up at me.
Finally we broke through to my house. It was small but beautiful. Just a little log cabin on a river. Of course i had electricity and things like that. My parents have been gone from my life for a while now. They died a couple years ago in a plane crash. They left me alot of money.. and this house. So, this is where i stay. My own little home. We slowly walk up to the house, i pass by my 93 chevy white blazer. I loved it. Of course the spider injector went out on it and i have no one who knows anything about it to fix it. I run my hand along the hood and continue up the steps to the porch. I have a small screened in porch with a swing. I loved it. I usually come out in the mornings and drink a cup of coffee and smoke my morning cigarette. I unlock the door and swing it open, turning on the light. "Would you like to come in?" I ask the wolf. It walks up to the door and lifts its leg and whizzes on ym door frame! "Oh my god! Hey! Don't pee on my door! You better not do that in the house!" i put my hands on my hips and look down disapprovingly at the big wolf. It looks up at me and wags its tail then turns and walks into the cabin. I shrug my shoulders and walk in, shutting the door with my foot. I throw my bag into my room and walk toward the kitchen. The wolf follows and lays underneath the kitchen table while i start fixing dinner. Spaghetti.
"So.. i hope you like spaghetti because i don't have dog food." It puffs out a little bark and lays its head on its huge paws and watches me. I start to sing a little tune and it picks up its big head and its ears flick towards me. I stopped singing and stared at it. It looked so beautiful staring at full attention like that. I walk over and kneel down and run my hand through its soft fur again. "There's something about you... it keeps drawing me to you. But your a wolf.. an animal.." I trail off and it continues to stare at me.. Weird. It sets off feelings in me. I know its not right, i know its animal and it makes me feel a little sick about it.. but.. there's just something. It seems to let off more intelligence than a regular wolf.. and wolves usually stay with their pack, right?
I continued cooking dinner, thinking this way while the wolf still stayed under the table, watching me. WHen it was done, i got out two plates and filled them with heaping piles of spahetti and garlic bread. I started walking into the living room and i heard him padding along behind me, following me. I sat them on the coffee table and went back and fixed me a glass of Dr. Pepper. It is my favorite drink. I grabbed the remote and plopped on the couch, turned the tv on and dug in. The wolf watched me for a moment, seeing as how it was tall enough to just bend its neck and eat, thats what it did. I watched That 70's Show and ate. The wolf finished and jumped on the couch with me and laid its big head on my feet, warming them up. It was starting to get chilly out. Winter was coming soon.
I always liked winter. Big sweaters and scarves. I absentmindedly began running my hand through its fur and it slowly drifted off. So did i, after i obviously finished dinner.
