I'm Janelle. Janelle Lucero to be exact. I have a light grey wolf hat, with my brown bangs poking out of the front and my two sort of longer pieces of hair hanging on the side of my face. I have a Turquoise spaghetti strap shirt, a golden belt, a black, mid-thigh skirt, and golden cuffs on my ankles and wrists. I also have a grey wolf tail with a white tip. I live in a forest with my boyfriend Rodney.

I was running. Running for my life. I could hear the beast's distant footsteps as it came into view from the corner I turned a few seconds ago. That thing is after me. Run. Run! RUN! Was all I thought as I ran through the dark forest at night. I was panting with exhaustion, slowing down, allowing that beast to slowly start to catch up to me. I sat down in front of a tree and held my wolf-hatted head with brute force. I brought my knees up to my chest and started rocking back and forth. My tail wrapped around my ankles. I looked up at the full moon. The beast came closer and closer. I closed my eyes shut as it was about to bite. Then I heard rustling, a thud, and then a screech from the beast.

I opened my eyes to see Rodney, with his fox hat with white tipped ears, his light green shirt that had two leather straps criss crossing his chest and back that he used to carry his sword, his darkish blue shorts, black shoes, and swishing, red-orange tail that had a white tip. I let go of my head and rested my hands on the floor, my knees still tight to my chest. The screech was heard after he stabbed the beast's hand. The beast was in the shape of a grizzly bear. It was a shape shifter. It had skin as black as charcoal and skin smooth as silk. I knew this because when I first saw it, it was a bunny. The beast stood on its hind legs to try to attack Rodney. He pulled the sword from the beast's hand and stabbed its stomach. The beast screeched in pain as it fell to all fours. Then the boy pulled a dagger out of his pocket and stabbed the 'bears' head. A bright light burst from the cut. Then more light exploded out of it. A few ghost like creatures flooded out from said cuts. Then the beast exploded with a huge burst of pure white light. I shielded my eyes to protect them from the immense light.

When I opened my eyes again, it was daytime. Cute little creatures like bunnies, squirrels and foxes hopped around. A few butterflies were fluttering around some newly grown colorful flowers. I looked towards my boyfriend. He looked even better in the daytime. I was still on the ground with my knees to my chest and hands on the floor. He turned around to look at me after he finished examining the forest as well.

"Are you ok Janelle?" He asked as he knelt down in front of me to examine me, his tail still swishing behind him.

"I-I'm fine now, thank you. Geez... what was that... thing?" I said confusedly.

"Ok. I was asking around and I hear that thing is called a "Shadow". It's attracted to blood, souls and fear." He said with bitter apparent in his voice.

"Glad to see you're ok." He said with a warm smile. Our faces got rather close as he talked to me. I love his face. c: Rosie pink lips, caring, soft hazel eyes, a cute little nose and a slight blush on his white colored checks. He looked amazing.

"Thanks for the help. I'm so glad I have you." I said with a soft smile as well and a sigh of relief.

"I'm glad I have you too." He said as he stood up. "Here, let me help you up." He said as he stretched out an open hand. I took his hand, which had a firm but soft grasp as he pulled me up. Apparently not knowing his strength, he pulled me really close. Our faces were not more than 3 inches apart. I smiled a small smile. He smiled back.

"Rather close aren't we?" I asked as I backed away a little with a smirk on my face.

"Hahaha yeah." He laughed softly at my remark.

"C'mon, we should be getting home." I said as I started walking back. "Coming?"

"Haha yeah of course I am!" He said as he jogged up to me and we walked back to our small house.

TIME SKIP

Our small home had five rooms. It had a kitchen, two bedrooms, a living room and a bathroom. One bedroom belonged to me and the other, to Rodney. It was starting to get really late so we decided to get ready for bed. We took turns taking a shower, got into our pajamas which, surprise surprise, were for me, a grey fur shirt and pants that had a white belly which gave me the look of a wolf and for Rodney, and entirely red-orange outfit that made him look like a fox.

"Goodnight Rodney!" I said to him from my bedroom door.

"Night!" He said to me from his bedroom, which was right across the hall from mine. I walked over, gave him a hug, and went to my room. I closed the door, walked towards my bed, crawled in, and blew out the candle that was lighting up my room. I layed in bed slowly drifting off to a peaceful sleep.
