My legs surged with power as I hit the ground. I rolled over, barely picking myself up. I let forward, my muscles tense. Loosen up, Jacob's thought rang in my mind. The pack's thoughts seemed to stack over one another in conversation. I felt calmed, by Jacob's presence. But I also felt more aware of how close everyone was, about a mile or two. I sort of wanted to be away from them, at the moment. Aw, why? What did I do? Jacob's thoughts even felt whiny, and I let out a wolf-chuckle. It was a snarky bark to humans, but pleasurable to myself. Oh, now your in for it! Seth chided Jacob, only to make matters worse. Ah, Seth the youngest. I quickened my pace around to the edge of the reserve. Sometimes having Jacob as pack leader was pride straining, but mostly irritant. Someone always had to get his attention, or to ask a question. The rushing water below the edges of the cliff ran slowly, catching on the mossy ash rocks below. I watched as the swarms of rainbow fish ran in-between cloudy white currents. Instantly calmed, I shocked myself by taking a slight step forward, mesmerized. My body went down into a half circle, the fuzzy fur whisked away to my almost tan skin.
"Tanya, I'm taking a walk." I mumbled, grabbing my dark green jacket of the wooden hook. Arm after arm, I pushed my way through the leather. "Fine, get dinner on your way back." Tanya hollered, the sound echoing into the main room. I pursed my lips, but unlocked the door slipping out. My black shoes skidded across the sidewalk, and down into the murky path of green. I didn't realize as I drifted into the wet, dark forest how far I was walking. I drifted over the fallen logs and quick streams. A plunge shocked me, then wetness seeped into my shoes. My feet were in a moss covered river. I saw a sightly curled figure, the human stood with her feet on the edge on the cliff. "Hey! Be careful." I yelled, like I was being told to. And I wasn't a very good christian, truth be told. I watched in horror, as she turned. And fell of the cliff, her arms flailing up. I ran into the water, only for it to pull me back. I continued to breathlessly chug forward. It was no use, and her body slipped faster and faster. My chest was rising and falling, then my arms coiled around something smooth and wet. Her body laid in my arms. Lifelessly? I didn't know.
