What good is the warmth of summer,
without the cold of winter to give it sweetness
- John Steinbeck
After everything that has happened I would think that my life would get a little simpler. Being sent into the Twilight Universe was never something that would have come to my mind. I never even asked to be sent here in the first place. I couldn't regret being sent here though. I gained another family in the process. A family that would protect me no matter what.
Which led me to this moment. A moment where he was prepared to defend me no matter the cost. All of our efforts to prevent everything from happening had been in vain. We were all out numbered, I didn't even know who was winning. Who were the winners and who were the losers?
I looked into the black eyes of the creature that craved for my death. That craved for my blood. Waiting for the opportune moment when my protectors eyes would be diverted. Looking for the perfect window to pounce on me. To end my life once and for all. We were outnumbered and we all knew it. Though, he would defend and protect me until the very end.
I took a breath as I watched the creature. Like fire and ice. Somewhere, far, far away in the forest, a wolf started howling.
