Alone
I was alone, a silvery fog surrounded me, then she was there, smiling, and I felt warm inside, but only for a second. Stone arms reached around her, ice engulfed my body replacing the warmth; he was there beside her looking at her with a hunger in his eyes. Her smiling face turned to him and she beamed. I wanted to protect her but knew there was nothing I could do. A flood of emotions filled me, emotions that I couldn't explain. I felt her slipping away as the cold stone arms tightened around her. Soon she was engulfed by the fog and I was alone again.
I woke up, a lump had formed in my throat, and I instantly remembered the dream I had had. It was so vivid and seemed like a memory rather than a dream, but maybe that was because I had dreamt it so many times. The dream always left me confused. Why would a wolf have dreams about humans and why, when the dream faded away, did I feel like I had lost so much? Why was it that the face of the human girl left me feeling hollow and broken, while the face of the male left me with a hate that was so strong I couldn't stop shaking with rage? I couldn't answer these questions, or maybe I just didn't want to, but as hard as I tried I couldn't remember seeing these faces anywhere else but in my dreams. There was no explanation, and so I shrugged off the questions as I did every time the dream found its way into my sleep.
I knew I should open my eyes and get up, but I was still tired, that was another thing about the dream, it always left me exhausted. I lay there a few more minutes until my hunger over powered my exhaustion then I slowly raised my body up on all fours. I opened my eyes and looked around at where I had fallen asleep. I had been sleeping on a blanket of autumn leaves at the base of tall maple trees. The fiery orange and brown that surrounded me was a huge contrast to the memories of the green prison I had run from long ago. I decided that this environment suited me and my auburn coat easily blended in with the land. I felt like I belonged, and I was instantly in a better mood than the one my dream had left me in.
Leaves rustled off in the distance, I immediately reacted to the sound and my good mood heightened as my eyes met those of wild heir, which took off with no further hesitation. My lips pulled back in a satisfied grin revealing a set of teeth, which I knew to be menacing, and I took off after the poor animal knowing that my hunger was about to be satisfied and that whatever rage I might still have from the dream would be completely distinguished.
