2012 September 25

It was a foggy morning and Dr. Maura Isles could feel the gloom linger in the cold air that traced in and out of her lungs. A tear slipped from the corner of her eye as she kissed her hand and then traced her finger tips along the outer edges of the marble tombstone.

"It's been one crazy and lonely year without you, Jane."

Maura closed her eyes and sent her thoughts to heaven. She remembered someone always telling her, 'talk to them, pray to them...because even though you might not believe it...they can hear what you are thinking.'

"You about ready, Maura? It's getting cold, love." A male's voice echoed from the midnight blue Prius.

Maura placed a bouquet of yellow tulips on the ground in front of the tombstone. "They're tulips. Usually they're a symbolization of perfect love and the yellow encompasses everything from love, to sunshine, to happy thoughts...where ever you may be, Jane." She smiled as the image of Jane rolling her eyes and name-calling her went through her mind.

The honey blonde stood up and closed her eyes to send her final thoughts. After they were sent she noticed the wind picking up and the colorful leaves flowing around her. She glanced a little beyond Jane's tombstone, and was shocked to see a big black figure standing there.

Maura inched closer to get a better look at who or what it was. She squinted as much as she could to try and make sense of the figure. When she finally realized what it was her breath caught in her throat.

It was a beautiful black wolf with ice blue eyes. It didn't run as Maura moved closer, but it made sure to keep a far enough distance.

Maura saw that it was much larger than a regular wolf, and

"Maaaurraaa." The mans voice cooed as he moved closer. "Are you ready?" He kissed her honey blonde head gently and smiled.

"...yeah..." she kept her stare and as the man turned to look in the same direction as her, the wolf was disappeared.

"Something caught your eye?"

"What?" Maura blinked away her desire to go after the wolf. It had a strange pull that boggled her mind. "Yes, sorry, we should go. Angela is probably waiting for us already." She made a quick glimpse at her watch and as she started walking back to the car she made one last glance back to where the wolf had once stood. Nothing. Maura sighed as she got in and they drove off into the lonely autumn day.
