Now on with the story…
Descending Dark Moon
Confessions.
- Chapter 1 -
This was a foolish thing to do, I scolded myself as I trudged along a collapsed tree that leaned in an arch against another, the collar of my coat pulled up against my pale neck to keep out the cold chills that surrounded me. My feet stepped lightly along the trunk in a dancing movement as I looked up at the sunset that was peeking through a tree's lush branches that were filled with the leaves of the autumn season. Why would he even choose me? I sighed out in depression. I didn't have the beauty that the others had, I am nothing compared to them. It was pointless really, falling in love with the alpha and all…I thought hopelessly to myself as I looked up at the transfixed bright orange coloured sky. A young sparrow chirped happily as it perched on a branch that dangled from on top of me. Then it launched itself off the beech tree's branch and flew in circles around another, more feminine sparrow. Young love… If only it could be that way with James and I, I thought as I gazed at the in lovebirds. Then I lost all my train of thought as my foot suddenly slipped on the trunk I stood on and then I fell. The airflow in my lungs stopped as I fell and then it happened so quickly. Before I knew it, I was being held by a young man who held me in his arms as if I was as light as the wind. I turned my head around and gazed into a beautiful set of topaz eyes as I started breathing again softly.
"James," I breathed in and then I cast my eyes downwards sheepishly in an attempt not to show that I was blushing. His eyes looked down at me kindly as a light smile spread across his smooth face and then he wiped a strand of my hair from my eyes.
"It's alright. I got you, Eve." he assured as he smiled brilliantly at me and then laid me down on a leaning, yet sturdy, tree stump. I nodded slightly and then tapped the other end of the stump, asking him to sit down next to me as I made space for him. He carried on smiling as he then strolled up to me and placed himself lightly on the tree stump in an attempt not to ravel it. He placed a hand on his head and moved his fingers through his chestnut coloured hair lazily as he looked at the sunset. The sun's rays melted onto his skin, giving it a radiant colour as I looked at him and felt his fingers of his free hand curl around mine. I heard a soft chuckle rumble through my throat as I also gazed at the sunset as I felt a smile sneak upon my face. "I knew this was a good idea," James murmured happily and then grinned as he saw the sudden reaction on my face. That caught my attention.
"What do you mean?" I questioned, a puzzled emotion filling my steel-blue eyes. He carried on grinning as he watched a flock of birds fly overhead and melt into the sunset, their black figures slowly fading away.
"I'm in love with you, Eve." he said simply as if it was your casual conversation as he carried on smiling and he didn't seem to mind my shocked look.
"You're pulling my leg," I replied, feeling angry at what he was doing to my heart. It was unstable enough already. James turned his head towards me and then, before I knew it, his lips were pressed lightly against mine. My eyes widened and then melted into a soft look as I kissed back lightly. He pulled back a few seconds later and then placed one of his hands against my cheek bone as he stroked my head with affection with his other hand.
"Now do you believe me?" he whispered as he got up and held my hand as he gazed down at me. I looked up at him, a gasp trying to escape my mouth but it never came.
"It depends… Why did you choose me when you could have chosen someone better, someone more beautiful?" the words strained on my tongue as I looked at him and felt tears come to my eyes. This couldn't be true! Could he honestly love me? In his arms I felt… sunshine. Could this really be true? I thought desperately as I shook my head and closed my eyes. In my motion of feeling upset, I could barely hear his reply as he embraced me into a hug. As my emotions went on a roller coaster ride, I felt half of me wish that this moment would last and then his words that I thought I didn't hear zoomed through my mind.
"You're wrong, you know," he whispered , moving his hands down and over where my collarbones winged out and curved around my neck. I tilted my head as I felt his gentle touch and then I felt… actual happiness because I knew where he was heading. "You're more beautiful than life itself and the morning spring days, Eve. Don't ever think other wise." he growled in an attempt to get the words engraved in my mind as he wiped the tear away that trickled down my cheek, which made me smile even more and then hug him tighter.
"I love you, too." I replied softly as I gave him a quick kiss on the lips and led him away. I felt myself form into my true being, my spirit, my very wolf spirit. My tail swished from behind me as we ran into a lush clearing and yipped playfully. I nipped the large tawny wolf's ear as I dodged him and then I fell against the grass as he pinned me down gently. I licked his nose as I whined playfully at him. He lolled his tongue out at me and then as I pushed him off me, we ran into the forest and did what our generation did for years at this time of season. My red fur danced against his tawny fur and then we ran and ran as far as we could go. Now I finally belonged and would be the mate of my beloved. Finally…
