Chapter 6: wolf

Chapter 6: wolf LFP

I drove out of town and up into the foothills. Turning down a dirt path off the side of the road that was mostly hidden by trees. memories started to flood into my mind of hot summer days and warm summer nights driving down this same road in the passenger side with my mother at the wheel.

The stone sat in the cup holder still glowing. When I peered down it had started to create a small circle of ice in the bottom of the cup holder as if the coldness of the stone was spreading. The glowing started to increase and I pressed harder on the gas. This thing needed to go.

After making some twits and turns I finally found the small walkway that lead to my destination. I put the car in park turned it off grabbed the stone in a towel I had in my glove box and ran trough the forest. The stone was so cold I could feel it through the towel.

I ran through the pitch darkness trying my best not to fall and eat shit. The glow from the stone helped light my way a little bit but not enough to see the tree that I ran into. Falling to the ground I dropped the stone and the towel. Standing back up and whipping myself off I looked for the towel but couldnt find it anywhere. I decided to just grab the stone and continue running. Running through the trees with the wind in my face and the tingling cold pain radiating from the stone made my adrenalin rush, my heart was pounding out of my chest and my breath was heavy. Once I was able to see the clearing I spead up my pace till I was free from the trees. I ran to the edge of the cliff I was looking for in the clearing and threw the stone as hard as I could into the mountains and trees below me. The stone flew a long ways before it finally dropped down to the ground below it. I sighed in relief finally being rid of the frozen stone that brought back such horrible memories. Suddenly an aurora borealis appeared from the spot that the stone had fallen. The trees under the aurora borealis had started turning white as if there was snow on them. A loud noise then came that was ear piercing. It was so loud that I had to cover my ears. I was about to run back to my car when the noise had abruptly stopped just as it began. Suddenly I hurd a noise come from the trees behind me, I spun around to find a younger boy, about 14 with shaggy light brown hair and young innocent honey brown eyes emerge out of the dense brush. We starred at each other for a moment, both of us surprised to see someone else in these woods.

Suddenly I felt something touch my shoulder gently from behind me. Thrown off guard, my reflexes took over and my elbow swung back quick and with a lot of forse hitting who or what ever it was pretty good.

"Son of a bitch!" I hurd someone yell behind me. I turned around to see a boy. But not just any boy. He had shaggy dark brown hair wearing a brown jacket white shirt and torn up blue jeans. He was the boy ive been seeing the past few days. He held his nose that had quite a bit of blood dripping from it bent over in pain.

"Who are you?! And why the hell have you been following me?!"I yelled at him.

He didnt answer me, he just continued complaining about his nose. What a baby, I thought.

"Umm... i-its kind of h-hard to explain..." a soft voice came from the younger boy. When I turned to him he wasnt expecting it and jumped back with his hand infront of his face.

My voice softened. "Im not going to hurt you. He just surprised me, thats why I nuged him" I pointed behind me.

"Nudged?! You straight clocked me in the face!" The boy in pain yelled.

"Oh dont be such a baby" I said turning back to him. But this time he was standing upright giving me a chance to see him fully. The moon lit up his features and he looked just like how I saw him before, but what I didnt notice b4 was his eyes. He looked at me annoyed while whipping the blood off of his face. I took a few steps closer to him entranced in his eyes. He gave me a weird look but didnt move. He just stood there. "You're not going to hit me again are you?" He asked wearily

"Your eyes..." was all I could force out of my mouth. There was almost no space between us before I stopped moving twards him. His eyes were enchanting and powerful. They were blue like fire but soft like the sky. They were an iceberg blue with a dark blue almost black ring around the outside of the iris. They were so beautiful I couldn't look away. He must have felt the same way I did about mine because he was staring into my eyes just as intensely as I was to him. The younger boy cleared his throat grabbing our attention breaking the trance.

I backed off now more focused on the situation. "Who are you? And where the hell did you come from?"

"I'm toboe!" Said the younger boy with a warm happy smile which in turn made me smile back

"And im Kiba" the boy with the piercing blue eyes looked down at me for he was a good head taller than me.

"And we are from later in time"

I paused about to introduce myself and looked that Kiba and started chuckling. "You're from where?"

"Are wolves extinct?" Kiba asked straight faced

"Um... no. We still have quite a few of them... but there isn't any in California unless they're in zoo's"

"The time we come from wolves have been extinct for over 200 years. Or so people think" interjected kiba

"You are screwing with me." I said in disbelief.

Toboe looked over to kiba and whispered in his ear. "I dont think we should tell her yet kiba... she might freak out"

"Tell me what?" I asked

Kiba looked at me and said with a serious expression "I know this is going to be hard to belive. But toboe and I are not human... we are wolves"

That was my breaking point. I busted out in hysteria. Even if I wanted to I couldnt stop laughing. This was too crazy, too unrealistic. These guys were nuts. But for the shits and giggles I replied

"Prove it" I said through the giggles

Kiba took a big sigh "close your eyes"

"Are you kidding me?" I started laughing again "thats how people die. Im not stupid. I dont even know you guys and you want me to close my eyes HA!" I looked over at toboe "he cant be serious."

Suddenly I felt something moist touch my hand. When I looked down I saw a black nose and white fur and no kiba in sight. Those piercing blue eyes were nowhere to be seen. What was looking at me though were 2 warm golden colored eyes. Those eyes belonged to a large beautiful wolf with stunning snow white fur. My heart abruptly stopped and I gasped but I didnt pull my hand away.

"Dont be scared" spoke Toboe. "We dont want to hurt you. Actually the quite opposite really"

I looked at him toboe speaking softly not being able to find my voice I said "Are you one too?"

Toboe started to faze almost as if he was changing from boy to wolf and back again until he was a full blown wolf. He was all brown with a lighter brown on his under belly and paws. He had sweet innocent brown eyes. When I looked into them it was as if I had slammed face first into a wall of realization. "Oh my God! You are the wolves from my dreams!" I started paicing back and forth. "Oh my god im fucking crazy! This is it. This is the day I lose my mind. Its gone, its lost. Ive finally cracked!"

"I told you we shouldnt have told her"

Mumbled Toboe to Kiba.

When I looked back over at the 2 wolves they were back to boys. "Stop doing that!" I snapped "pick a form and stay with it!" You are really not helping my craziness right now.

"You aren't crazy Faith. This is real. This is happening." Said Kiba

When I hurd him speak my name I realized it was the same voice that was calling my name in the woods the day before. The way it sounded coming from him caressed my ears. It sounded so lovely

"How... How do you know my name? I never told you my name."

"There is a lot to talk about" kiba said while turning his head in the direction toboe already was and then looked back over at me.

"But here is not the place. We are not the only ones who have gotten through."

Kiba spoke softly as toboe started to growl. "Too late"

Suddenly 4 tall soldier's in full dark suit and armor, 2 with hand guns and the other 2 with what appeared to be machine guns emerged from the trees into the clearing.

"Shit" kiba growled under his breath.

"Whats going on?!" I demanded.

The soldiers with the hand guns ran towards us while firing, coming too close for comfort. A scream escaped my lips and I ran for the safety of the trees. One of the men with the machine guns cut me off and aimed the barrel straight at me. I froze unable to move as I watched him pull the trigger, I closed my eyes waiting for the pain but none came. When I opened my eyes I did not see a machine gun, or a soldier in front of me. Instead all I saw was snow white fur. When I came to realize it was kiba I gasped, he took the bullet for me. When I peered around him I saw the soldier on the ground with toboe at his neck. Kiba, now in his human forum grabbed me while bullets were still being shot in the air and ran into the trees, found a small opening in a trunk and placed me there. He looked at me very carefully, his eyes still glowing blue.

"You do not come out for anyone but me or toboe understand? You wait till I come to get you. Do not speak, do not make a sound. No matter what you hear or what you see. I will keep you safe. I promise"

Those words... they were so similar... almost exact to the ones I hurd so many years ago... I nodded and held my knees to my chest in the fetal position.

He smiled and his gaze softened. He then turned and ran back into the clearing, all I could hear were the sounds of gun fire and growling. I closed my eyes trying to imagine myself somewhere else when all of a sudden everything went silent and a lonely sad howl broke the stillness of the night.

My heart stopped...

No...
