Recap:

I was slammed back into the door as the larger-than-life wolf pinned me and then knocked me to the floor, growling and barring his fangs at me. I kept my head to my chest, not giving it access to my neck. By now my dog was finally whining. 'About time.' I thought.


I kept my neck down all right, but that didn't stop the wolf from still aiming for it. It kept lunging when it thought it had a chance, but I still tried to keep my neck from showing. My arms were pinned to the ground by massive black paws with enough pressure that it would bruise and the same goes for my legs too. At this point I wonder how it could keep balance, but apparently it did.

Now, I remember reading about wolves and about how they lived in packs and the different social ranks. So I like wolves and I've been reading about them and have stuffed animals like my gray wolf I got from the Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C. and because of this I knew very well why I was being treated like this.

It still didn't explain how the wolf got in, why it was so large, and why my dog had completely backed down. Yet I was brought out of my thoughts when the creature had started digging its claws deeper into my arms and legs.

I growled my own little growl at the beast and it was a mistake. It took it as a challenge and bit my shoulder. It hurt, I could feel the teeth connected to strong jaw bones threaten to bite down harder and snap the bone. The damn animal wanted me to submit. I was a freaking human and yet usually wolves left humans alone. I did not have time to keep thinking because the pressure on my shoulder increased. I knew what I had to do and I did not like it.

Taking a deep yet shakily breath in –I relaxed and slowly tilted my head back, bearing my neck and closing my eyes. It seemed surprised for a brief moment that I had knew what it wanted since the growling stopped, but it resumed a second later. Taking its advantage it had over me, I felt the hot breath fly over my neck, making my skin crawl.

The next thing I knew it was gently biting down on my neck. Nipping if you will call it, in some cases, drawing bits of blood I could tell, before lapping it up with its tongue. Ewww! What the heck was this wolf's problem? I took this opportunity to open my eyes and see light blue eyes looking into my own. I seemed to hold the creatures gaze for a minute, gazing into those beautiful eyes until I finally looked away, knowing I couldn't keep the challenging stare.

The thing barked his happy approval of me submitting and got off of me only to sit by my side, facing me. I grunted as I brought the upper half of my body up. It hurt to do so. My arms felt weak and they shook as it held the weight of the upper half of my body up. Knowing my arms couldn't hold me up any longer, I spun around on the wood floor so that my back rested on the wall.

My arms rested to the side of me and my head was tilted back against the wall. I closed my eyes once my head softly came in contact with the wall, hoping it would level out the headache from it being smashed into the wooden floor.

My body was sore. I realized that before and more so now that I wasn't lying down. I looked back down at my arms that were bare since it was a warmer autumn day. On my arms were bruises, one on each side and little tiny pricks from the wolf's claws that had stopped bleeding.

After assessing my arms I looked down to my jean-covered legs. Well, you couldn't really see the bruising skin underneath the slightly torn fabric but I know I felt it. I scowled and lifted my head back up to glare at the black wolf sitting in front of me.

'You S.O.B' I thought to the wolf, which of course was technically true. After mentally thinking that to the wolf, I managed to check the time on the grandfather clock in the foyer. It was already eleven o'clock at night. Peter and I didn't stay as long as I thought we did. I felt tired and worn out from the whole wolf thing and really wanted to go to bed. I sighed and looked toward the wolf that was still in front of me.

"Just what the heck am I supposed to do with you?" I asked the wolf anyway, knowing it didn't understand human speech, but hey… I was tired. Now the next thing, I don't know if I imagined it or if the wolf really did cock its head to the side as if it understood me. Deciding that yes, I was really tired, I slowly stood up, praying the wolf wouldn't attack me again. It didn't even move. I let out the breath I hadn't realized I was holding and slowly headed for the stairs.

As I began to walk up, I looked back to see the wolf still sitting there, but this time watching me go up the steps. I turned around and kept going up. I didn't even bother to look back for my dog Apollo, knowing he would probably go downstairs where his doggie bed was. See, I get this black puppy who was supposed to grow into the big dog he was now and expect him to be a guard dog and all he does is just lick you to death. The dumb dog didn't even help me against the wolf.

Speaking of wolf, it still hadn't followed me up the stairs now that I was already up them. I didn't look back and headed straight for the bathroom and grabbed my towel from the first part of the bathroom and walked into the area that had the toilet and shower/bathtub.

I hung the towel on the separate rack next to the shower and shut the door. I didn't bother to lock it sense the wolf being a wolf didn't have hands to turn the knob to open the door. I let out a small chuckle getting this funny image in my head of the wolf trying to open the door.

Anyway, I stripped down and got into the shower. The water was hot so I turned it down a little to warm until my skin adjusted to the temperature then pulled the knob back up again to as far as it could go on warm. I really liked hot showers and this one felt especially good since it helped relieve the sore muscle in my arms and thighs from the wolf attack.

Which reminds me… what am I going to do with it? I guess just leave it in my house? It obviously didn't want to leave since it hadn't bolted toward the door when I opened it. Plus all it did was watch me when I got up. Some strange wolf, you would think it would some other thing but an animal. More so… what was I going to tell my parents? Well, I didn't have to worry about telling them since they wouldn't be back until Monday and tonight is a Friday night which also meant I got to sleep in. Yay!

My content state was shattered as the water turned cold on me, signaling I had used up all the hot water. I quickly shut it off and stepped out of the shower, grabbing the towel on the rack and wrapping it around myself. If you looked up you could see the room was foggy from the hot shower. I opened the door and was greeted by a blast of cooler air. I forgot I hadn't brought pajamas in with me to change so there went the idea of dressing in a nice warm place.

There was no sign of the wolf so I quickly went into my room. On my bed was the big, bad, black wolf that was lying down on his stomach, his head on his paws… sleeping? I wanted to yell, but I had to get dressed and since it was –I guess it was sleeping- I had I good chance of sneaking by to get my clothes from the dresser.

I quietly tiptoed over and pulled out underwear, cotton purple pants and a tank top. Notice I didn't grab a bra? Well yeah… who would wear one when they were going to bed unless at a sleep over? Sure there was a wolf in the house but I didn't think it would just jump and tear my nipple off, seriously.

Okay… Now that made me laugh, but all that came out was a snicker because I didn't want to wake the wolf up. I made a beeline for the bathroom again and shut the door to get my pajamas on.

I walked back into my room and the wolf was still there. I was not going to sleep on the floor so I went over to the wolf and stopped a foot away from the bed. Was I crazy that I was going to try and push a larger-than-life wolf out of my bed? Probably, but I was already half asleep anyway. I was surprised the thing even fit on the bed anyway.

Taking a deep breath, I closed the foot gap and reached my hand out to the wolf. At the last second I stopped my assault and just lightly touched the wolf's head. It fur was soft and it was warm. I smiled and began to stroke its head, traveling down to its muzzle and then back up.

I stopped when I swore I felt it shiver. I lowered my head to look at the wolf when it suddenly lifted its head and hit my chin. "Owww…." I whined as felt the impact. I ended up biting my tongue which hurt, but I don't think my chin will bruise which was good since I had enough already from this wolf.

I looked back down at it to see it look curiously at me. "Well… get up I've got to go to bed and I am not sleeping on the floor, so you…. up… now!" I stated out and raised my voice at the end. Its jaws opened and a cough started and ended with a snort like some wolf laugh.

What the heck? Wait… a wolf looking like it had just laughed. Yep… I needed to go to bed. I was grateful when it jumped down and sat down at the foot of the bed.

I climbed into my now warm bed from the wolf's earlier residence and pulled the comforter over me. That was the only thing I had to use since I ended up kicking the other sheet off anyway. I put my head on the pillow before taking one last look at the wolf that was staring at me with its light blue eyes before closing my own.

I thought I was drowning into a nice peaceful bliss of sleep when I felt a heavy weight on me. I grunted to try to get whatever it was off of me but I ended up just giving up. I scooted over some on my bed and felt the weight settle behind me. It was warm, soft, and basically like a pillow. Well, I ended up scooting more so closer to it, my back seeking its warmth and once I was next the whatever the weight was then I was able to go to sleep warm and content.


Okay, so I tried to make it longer. It's about 1,944 words this time and I don't separate every sentence like some people, well I don't try to, but I find it is slightly easier to read that way.
