I woke up. Again. Feeling the cold rocks press my back, turning my head to my side, I could see Wolf. His eyes were sad and soft his eyes were as blue as the ocean as he stared intently at the glowing sparks of fire as I recalled of what happened before I got knocked out. The anger started boiling inside of me as I attempted to run away without him noticing. I could run so far he would never catch me, so far he would never find me, so far... so far... so far.. and the moment he turned to look at me I would be gone. Forever out of his life.
I got up stepping carefully on the rocks, attempting to move without a sound and plunge into another adventure the adventure I wanted to spend with Wolf. But this time, the only difference would be that he wouldn't be by my side. Looking down at my shoes that were scratched, dirty and torn. I took my first step, crunch... but the rocks refused to support my idea of running away. Wolf's head turned around and I winced at my failure.
"Hello Scarlett, are u feeling better?" Wolf asked.
I wanted to scream at him, to hit him until he kneels before me but I didn't do it. Instead I sat down beside him, waiting for him to bring up the question. I approached him and his smile broadened into a grin. For a second I thought it was the Wolf that I loved. No...Its the Wolf that tried to kill me...and the real Wolf that I had loved so much was gone already.
"Scarlett, do u lo..." He was about to finish the word but I stopped him and jumped up.
"No! No! No! No! " I screamed my lungs felt like it exploding as I screamed!
" I will never love you... ever! Your not the Wolf I loved... Your not the Wolf that loved me...your not..your not him anymore!" My eyes were watery and hot, my voice started breaking. Don't cry...don't cry. But it was too late tears streamed down my face forming a perfect line before forming a droplet and falling onto the rocks. everything went silent like everything was on mute. I could see wolf's lips moving but nothing came out. He started walking toward me, his feet sinking into the rocks but there was no crunch like how I walked. I shook my head, the world spinning beneath my feet until it suddenly stopped the moment Wolf's hand touched my shoulders, his arms around me. I could feel the heat radiating beneath his shirt as he wrapped his arms around me and everything went back to normal.
" I love you Scarlett….I love you so much." he whispered.
It felt so good to be in his arms, I could stay there forever. An hour, a day, a week, a month, a year… No matter how long, the time would zip past in his arms. For a second my muscles started to relax as I melted into his arms but a thought stopped me from entering the world of dreams and happily ever afters. No.. I cant do this. he tried to kill me! The images of the beast that tried to kill me flooded back into my mind. I couldn't do this...I wanted to melt in his arms so badly, but I knew that I would be melting in a strangers arm, because the real wolf was long gone. It took all my strength to break free from his arms and back away, the heat of his arm was instantly replaced with a cold breeze that brushed my face.
"Scarlett, this is the Wolf that loved you, the Wolf that took care of you. Im not...Im not the wolf that killed you anymore...Im the real wolf from before!" He stammered.
Every word he said sinked through me but I didn't listen to him. Instead I ran, I ran as far as I can as my eyes started swelling with tears, blurring my vision. Is he saying the truth? I wanted to turn back and ask him but I didn't, instead I sneaked a small glance back at him. He wasn't chasing after me, he just stood there trembling and it took me a moment to realize that he was crying. He. Was. Crying...I never thought the image of Wolf crying will ever pop into my mind until now but I couldn't stop running, I had to stay strong. I wont look back, because I knew that if I did, I wouldn't be able to leave him, so I ran, and ran, and ran. Leaving him behind.
This is where my new journey begins.
