Run Away With Me

Paul

Inspired by the story Dark Light by Summer's Sunlight and the song Run the Leona Lewis version

"Do you hear that?" Jared pulled to a stop, his brown-gray speckled fur hitched up over his shoulders. He's large ears twitching every so often as he picked up on something. Paul and Jacob ears twitched on their wolf heads, but Jared hearing was far better than theirs. The three were meeting up with the others at First Beach for a Pack Meeting; really it was just an excuse to get together and eat food from the fire. All three of them had been asked to check out an abnormal part of their territory. Brady and Collin had made a weird discovery and Sam had asked them to check it out.

"What it is?" Jacob's low voice floated into their minds as he watched Jared hunched low to the ground, his muzzle nudging away at the forest floor. "Vampire maybe?"

"Not even close. I hear singing." Jared sniffed around, as if picking up a trail one that Paul immediately picked up on. "It's coming from around first beach. Let's go."

"I'm right behind you." Jacob barked as he followed right behind the two. His caramel coloured fur flattened by the wind rushing by him. The tension in his muscles bunched and curled with every movement. A silver flash beside him told him that Paul would be in flanking position, a normal way for the three wolves to travel. Every movement was perfectly instinctual.

"Fire, I smell fire." Jacob growled into his mind. "Sweet like incense?"

Paul sniffed the air, picking up a sweetened smoke smell. His lungs started to fill with the smell as his muscled legs pushed him closer to the scent. He then picked up on the soft, whispered note of someone's voice. It was low but it was there, it was oddly haunting.

The wolves stopped their rushed movements as soon as they spotted light from a campfire. Rays of twilight shot throughout the tree covered woods, something wild and heated past through them. Silently they stalked towards the sound and the light. Bushes hiding their presence, and their fiercely controlled steps were soundless on the wet forest floor. They all rounded and shifted into a circled position as the forest opened to a small patch of grasses and then a rocky cliff. The view of the water hung quiet and serene in the low light, the fire cast just enough light to make the sight before them a little smoky and somehow magical. The wind blew the scent into their noses and the salty water spray came every once and while.

A girl stood with their back to them, she wore an elegant dress of greens, browns and blacks. Her hair was a twisted mass of sun coloured hair and dark rich chocolate. She tipped her head into the wind. Paul twitched as she sighed, her hands rose to her chest as she spun around. All three froze, praying that the shadows of the woods would conceal them. She picked up a stick and poked the fire, pushing around the embers to add some light rather than warmth.

"Guess he's not coming tonight." The girl ran a hand through her hair, the large ring on her hand flashed. "Well, here goes nothing, hopefully he come when I call."

"What is this?" Jacob's voice filled his head.

"Looks like a pretty girl waiting for someone in the woods." Jared tilted his head towards the crushed women. The women stood and laughed to no one; the sound was sweet and reminded them of Christmas bells. Her fit of giggles random and confusing to the wolves was infectious, her shoulders shook a bit as she tried to quiet down. Why on Earth was this girl talking out loud?

She turned back towards the cliffs and tossed an ear piece to her blanket. A quick toss of her head and her voice reached their ears. She started to sing, something haunting about light and love. It echoed around them, as invisible colours splayed into their vision the mystery women belted out to the no one as if her lives depend on it. It rang load and crystal clear, no smoke but with the clarity that you'd think she was a chorus singer for a church.

"You've been the only thing that's right, in our life time." Her words were low and soft, ringing slightly.

Just than her voice went so high pitched it was like angels were actually singing with her. Her falsetto was breath taken, her arms thrown out to her sides, palms up in surrender to her own moment. Something so scared past over them, it made Paul's belly ache and he could feel that the others felt it to. It was mesmerizing and horrifying at the same time. Like a terrible car crash you just can't look away from. Jared mirrored his thoughts.

Jacob started forward as she collapsed on the ground, her words getting desperate as if she was saying goodbye to a lost lover. Words of understanding and promising that she will run with him to the light, be with him in death and beyond. The moment was to flawless as the sun just set casting a quick last glow over everything, illuminating her silhouette, and blinded them in the process as her voice rang out in one last painful note.

"Run!" Jacob shouted in the others brains, Paul on instinct ran with the others all the way to First Beach. Sam was going to need to know about this, the new enemy was not voices it was an attacked by mysterious singers. What was worse is the feelings that Paul felt creeping up on him the farther he ran from the women on the cliff.

"We'll figure it out Paul."Jared's voice rang into the silver wolfs head. "Were here for you. Don't worry."

Here is the next one for you guys! Hope you enjoy this little chacater moment with the wolfy boys of La Push Reservation.

Happy Writings!
