Chapter 12: Reunion

A darkness surrounded me, and at first I thought I was asleep. Then, rational thoughts slowly seeped into my brain, and I realized that that option wasn't possible.

I slowly remembered that I had hit my head and had been lying here on the damp, hard forest floor for who knows how long.

I tried to open my eyes once I had realized this, but found it impossible because of the pain aching through my body. Also, because of the fact that right then, I heard someone quietly approach.

I lay there silently hoping that the mysterious person would not notice me and continue on their way, although I knew that my effort was in vain.

The noiseless footsteps grew slowly louder until I could tell that they had stopped right beside me.

Somehow, I managed to find an inkling of courage inside me, and I opened my eyes to a looming figure above me, but with a familiar face. Or, snout I should say.

"Jacob?" I asked tentatively in recognition.

The gigantic, reddish-brown wolf then licked my face, and I took it as "Duh! What other big, ginormous werewolves do you know?"

"Aww, Jake! Gross! "I laughed, while wiping my face off with one of my hands. I then used Jacob's fur as a towel.

He backed away when I did this, and it made me laugh even harder.

I sat up slowly, testing my muscles.

When I groaned, I could see Jacob's concern in his eyes.

"Hey! You try getting up after being unconscious all day."

He then tilted his head as if to as, "What did your klutziness do now?"

"I tripped over a tree branch if you must know, and don't worry. I've been through worse. You would know." I gave him the death glare and instantly regretted it. I hadn't come to accuse him, but I already hadn't been with him two minutes before I started letting my feelings get out of control.
He hung his head in shame, and I immediately felt sorry my harsh words.

"Jake, I'm so sorry. I'm such a jerk aren't I? I promised myself I wouldn't bring that up." I asked. Jake then barked a laugh as if in agreement. "Hey! That was a rhetorical question!" But I couldn't stay mad at him for long and soon, I was laughing along with him.

Then, I realized I was still on the ground. "Um, Jake? Give the klutzy human a hand, will you?"

He laugh-barked again, but he still came over and helped me stabilize myself so I could stand up.

I stood up slowly with Jake's and reached up to hug the gargantuan animal before me. I ran my fingers through the soft fur I had come to know while Jacob made his weird throaty humming sound.

I wanted to tell him how much I missed this sort of easy friendship, but rather than encourage him, I simply whispered, "I've missed you."

He moved closer to me then, and I didn't object.

Either way, I was leading him on, but right now, I didn't care. My best friend was back.

Author's Note:

Did you know the best way to show love and appreciation is by REVIEWING other people's FanFics! Celebrate Official Reviewing Day by reviewing all FanFics you read! Including mine!

OK, it's not really "Official Reviewing Day," but the concept should be used every time you read a FanFic. I don't care if you completely criticize my story (I'd rather you didn't though), just as long as you review!

Love you all and will hopefully have the next chapter done soon! I will soon be updating my profile with all my future ideas for FanFics so you guys have an idea of everything I want to do.
