A couple of years ago, if you told me that I'd be the happiest man on earth, I would say that you're crazy. But ever since a couple months ago, the only thing that mattered to me was this girl lying right beside me. She's made everything make sense in my life. And eventhough I can turn into a wolf and share the the woods of Forks with vampires, she's shown me a world no one knew existed.
Dalylah.
She appeared out of thin air. As we were patrolling we found her unconsious in a little field. We brought her back to Emily, so she could take care of her until she woke up. She had large wounds and bruises everywhere. She was a little dirty and had a fever but still mostly ok.
Some of us went into town to see if there was anyone reported missing, so we went to go see Charlie. He told us that no one was and that he would check in with surrounding towns and get back to us. Almost 2 weeks went by before she came around. Everyone rushed over to Emily and Sam's that morning.
The tribe was eager and anxious to find out who she was and where she came from. But for me, it didn't go exactly the way I thought it would because when she sat up and started looking around, her gaze landed on me and time seemed to stop.
After I got out of my little daze, I noticed that some of the tribe Elders were beginning to ask her questions. Some of the guys were too, but they mostly stared at her. I actually began to get a little angry at them and had a sudden urge to kick their faces in but I fought it.
They asked her :
"What's your name?"
"Where are you from?"
"How old are you?"
"What were you doing in the forest?"
But all she did was open and close her mouth and have a confused look on her face. Emily jumped in. "Giver her time everyone, she just woke up. Let me get some food in her at least.
Everyone either moved away or left. I hung around the front porch. I could see Emily place food in front of her. It took her a moment before she started to eat it. When she was done she took the plate, put it on the counter and smiled at Emily.
Emily and Sam's place had a wrap around porch so she walked to the longer end and sat down on the stairs. She was scratching at the bandages on her arm when Emily came out.
"Don't worry, you just have to wear it until your wounds heal. I should change them now actually."
As she was unravelling them she froze. Although she spoke low, I could faintly hear her say, "How is this possible? They were their a couple of days ago." She checked all of the other bandages and had the same reaction. After she got over her initial shock she took the girl inside to get cleaned up.
A couple hours went by and the girl approached Emily and gestured outside.
"You want to go outside?"
She nodded.
"Where?"
She pointed towards the trees.
"I don't think you should but...go ahead. Just don't go too far."
She nodded and quickly went out.
When she got past the first set of trees, Emily came out . "Can you go make sure she doesn't hurt herself?" she asked me.
"Sure" I said and began walking. I could smell her. She was a good distance away but I didn't want her to see me so I walked slow.
At some point her scent got stonger and I saw her dress a couple of times. Then I didn't see her at all. Her scent seemed to be going in every direction. I kept turning, trying to find the strongest one when I came face to face with her.
This was the first time I had a chance to really look at her. She had a tan complexion, waist length raven hair. Light brown and green eyes topped with long eyelashes, almost resembling a cat, and full lips. She was almost eye to eye with me give or take a couple inches. I could see the curves she had underneath her blue dress but the complimented her along with her somewhat athletic build. And she also had a few weird tattoo like markings on different parts of her body.
She had been staring at me, studying me. It was quiet so I asked, "Did you know I was following you?"
With that, she broke into a huge beautiful smile with perfect white teeth.
I chuckled. "I'll take that as a yes. It was Emily, she wanted to make sure you didn't get hurt again"
She shrugged and tree in front of me.
"So what are you doing out here?"
She pointed up to a tree a few feet away and up on a high branch were two barn owls, one brown and one black and white.
She raised her hand and the flew over to a rock. She went over and petted them.
"They your's?" I asked
She nodded.
She whistled and took off.
"I should probably get you back now. I don't need to get in trouble for losing you"
She turned to me with a gentle smile on her lips but a mischevious look in her eyes. Slowly she began backing away from me then taking off completely.
I was momentarily confused then I took off after her. To make this quicker, I phased. She looked back at me a couple times and when she saw me change she had a curious look on her face but didn't slow down.
A little bit later. I caught up to her. I was debating if whether or not I should just tackle her when I saw her climbing a tree. She reached a pretty high branch and sat down to look at me.
I was about to ram into the tree when suddenly she just jumped. She was falling pretty fast and when she was a few feet away from colliding with the ground she disappeared into a cloud of black smoke.
