The woods were quiet, and the breeze carried with it a chill and the smell of wood-burning in the distance. I was a boy then, around thirteen, who enjoyed nature and often took long walks in the woods.
One day, while the sky was slowly turning dark, and the stars were beginning to shine. I heard talking and laughter just off the path. And ignoring the rules of never leaving the path and going into the woods. I did just that. A few quiet steps, as quiet as I could, I entered the woods as they darkened. The voices and laughter grew louder, and I realized more feminine. Taking a breath, I hid behind a large tree and peeked around. Five large wolves, a couple as dark as pitch, two greyish and the last one bright snow white. were lying around a small fire laughing and telling jokes. And here are a few I remembered.

Knock knock…. she said over my shoulder. I answered without a thought in my head. but my eyes opened wider.
Who? whoose…whose there? I stuttered, feeling myself getting warmer. My heart was beating faster, and my breath the color of mist spread out in front of me. The others were silent.
What…. she answered, gently brushing the edge of my ear. Her warm breath rolled over my face, warming my cheeks, a forcing the mist away. In the mix of cold and warmth of her breath, a tone of mischief and danger warned me.
What who? I felt her cheeks brush my hair. I bit down on my lower lip, hoping to stop it from trembling.
What's for dinner? she spoke….
