Oliver POV
Am I drunk? Was I dreaming? Was I really doing this? Yes, yes I was. The only intoxication I was exposed to was that of the alluring blond in front of me. What was it about her that made her so hard to resist? I've told myself time and time again that she could never be with me that way. Yet every time I see her smile my mind wanders back to the what ifs.
God she was beautiful. She was like a bottle of alcohol sitting in front of a reformed alcoholic. Something I wanted but wasn't supposed to have. No other woman had ever had this kind of effect on me.
Her eyes darted back and forth from my lips to my eyes continuously . I could tell she was questioning if this was truly happening. I was going to do it. No holding back. No second guessing myself.
My lips were so close to hers that I could feel her warm breath on my lips. The smell of her breakfast lingered on her breath. Regardless, I moved in closer. My lips wanted hers so badly.
A loud snapping noise jolted me out of her intoxicating spell. Her eyes darted open as a deep growl sounded close behind us. Pulling my face away from hers, my head rapidly turned in the direction of the growling. Standing on four legs was a grey wolf. It's sharp teeth were bared back as it stood in an attack stance. Felicity turned toward the wolf as well and I noticed recognition in her facial expression.
The wolf looked ready to lunge. Without hesitation, I snatched one of the long sticks I had placed near the fire to eventually use as firewood thrown in the fire. The creature lunged straight for Felicity. I quickly pushed Felicity out of the way. The beast landed on top of me knocking me to the ground. Using the stick I had grabbed earlier, I pushed the wolf away from me preventing its deadly teeth from ripping my throat out. I felt the wolf's sharp nails digging into my side.
Using all of my strength, I threw the creature off of me using the stick. The wolf hit a tree and stood dazed for a second. In that brief second, I grabbed a startled Felicity and thew her over my shoulder. I took off running towards the plane. The wolf quickly closed the gap in a matter of seconds. The plane was becoming less and less obtainable. If I didn't come up with a plan B we were both going to die.
A wave crashing on the shore seemed to flip on a light switch in my mind. The wolf would probably not want to follow us into the water. I changed my direction and ran straight into the ocean. A cry of pain escaped Felicity's lips as the saltwater met her wounds. I quickly pulled her away from the shore.
The wolf tried to follow in the water, but was taken aback by the wave crashing on the shore line. Seeming frustrated, it began pacing back and forth on the shore line dodging the waves every time they met the sand. Feeling like we were a safe distance away, I rested for a moment watching the creature closely. As if to tell me that this wasn't over, it laid down on the beach and stared at the two of us. The calm waves gently rocked us back and forth as I stood on the sandy bottom of the sand bar I had swam out to.
"Felicity, are you okay?" I needed to know she was okay. She was my first priority. I could worry about myself in a second. She opened her mouth to speak, but the only noise that escape was several panicked gasps.
"Felicity, hey Felicity! Look at me! That wolf is never going to hurt you, okay? I promise I won't let it." I had pulled her into a hug and let her head rest on my shoulder.
"Okay," she whispered shakily into my shoulder.
With the adrenaline I had left wearing off, I felt a sharp pain race up my side. Keeping Felicity in my embrace, I lifted up my soaking wet shirt to find a three long scratch marks along my rib cage. The wolf's claws had left their unwanted impression on my side. The salt water was causing the wound to be even more painful then it should have been.
I felt my body being pulled slightly as if I was being sucked into something. A loud rushing noise caused me to turn my head only to be met with a face full of saltwater. The giant wave ripped Felicity and I apart. With saltwater now residing in my mouth, nose, and eyes, I rose to the surface coughing. The saltwater stung my eyes as I tried to quickly blink away the pain.
"Felicity?" I called out through burning coughs. No response called me to call out once again. I was met with silence once more. She didn't resurface. Fear and panic raced throughout my body. I needed to find her. I couldn't lose her.
Without waisting a second, I dove under the surface and opened my eyes. I pushed through the agonizing stinging. It felt like someone was squeezing a lemon into my eyes. I searched until I needed to come up for air. Taking a quick breath, I rushed back under the surface. Her blond hair caught my attention in the sea green water. I quickly grabbed her body and lifted it to the surface.
She wasn't breathing . I needed to get her to land and preform CPR. Looking around, I saw the wolf still lying on the shore. I cursed under my breath and looked around for any other body of land I could take her to. A small island the size of a small kiddie pool lay a couple meters away. Swimming as fast as I could, I made it to the island.
I placed her in the sand and instantly began performing CPR. Moving from her chest to her mouth, I tilted her head back and lifted her chin up. I pinched her nose and gave one breath followed by another. She lay motionless still and I repeated the process.
"Come on Felicity. Damn it don't you die on me!" I shouted as I continued the chest compressions. I moved back to mouth for breaths. After the first breath, I was met with a face full of water. Felicity began coughing up water and I quickly turned her on her side.
"Oliver?" She asked hoarsely.
"Hey don't try to speak. Take it easy. okay? " She was still coughing. The sun was beating down heavily on the two of us. The saltwater had dried out my throat making me extremely thirsty. We needed to get back on the mainland.
"Thank you," she choked out. She finally stopped coughing.
"You scared me," I whispered starring at her sand covered face.
"Sorry." She winced in pain as she readjusted herself.
"I thought you were gone." She looked up at my face and met my eyes. She looked back down at the sand. A tear rolled off her face and landed in the sand. She didn't say anything. She just laid her head in my lap and cried. I stroked her wet hair as I tried to think of our escape plan.
