Her mate

Chapter 5: The wolf is out of the bag

After school I drive straight home. The wether is nice today and the wind in my hear is amazing. I love driving my bike. When i get home i walk up to my room and just lay down on  my bed. What a day! I wonder what the deal with John is. I just don't get why he is so insistant on hanging out with me. Like I'm just a normal girl, I'm not the prettiest girl in school, I'm just a normal, math and science loving girl. After just laying in bed for what feels like hours I get up and go out for a walk. I just love the woods,  I love everything about the woods from the sound of birds and small animals to the wind blowing through the leafs. 

I walk til i come to a small lake. It's magical. There is a small waterfall on one side of the lake. I looks perfect for bathing. Before I think too much of it, I strip down and start walking out in the water. It was amazing to say the least. I take a few laps before i hear some branches snap. Oh crap someone is here. I turn around and there he is in all his glory, John. Why can't I just get away from him?

It doesn't look like he has notice me yet, because suddenly he takes off his clothes and dive right into the lake. What a nice view. Suddenly he turns to me and smile. 

    "Hey, Julia. What are you doing here?" he asks and starts swimming towards me,  just realizing that I'm completely naked. 

    "Um, John, could you not get any closer?" He stops swimming and looks a bit confused and hurt. "I was taking a walk when i stumbled upon this amazing lake. I didn't mean to hurt you but as you can understand i was not planning on going for a swim so I'm not wearing any clothes right now." The relief in his eyes are evident. 

    "Of course, do you want to swim some more?" He asks.

    "No, I think I'm fine for now actually, would you mind turning your back to me so i can get dressed?" I really hope he does not mind because my clothes are right behind where him. 

    "Oh, not at all, I'm not a creep if that's what you thought." Smiling at that i swam over to my clothes and put them on well knowing that they will probably be drenched. 

    "I'm decent." I shout over to him

    "Good, because now it's your turn to turn around so i can put on some more clothes." Smiling I turn my back to him and wait for him to get dressed. He took an awfully long time to get dressed. That's when I feel him right behind me. "I'm decent too now." I can feel his breath on the back of my neck. "You smell very good." I feel him take a deep breath.

    "This i getting weird." I turn around just to realize how close he was actually standing. "Um, John, you are standing really close to me" Understanding what i meant he took a step back looking apologetically. "So John, which way do you live." He points in the same direction as i came. "Me too, so we might as well walk together then."

    "That's a great idea! I think taking a bath today must be one of the best decisions I've made." I actually laugh, I can't remember the last time i laughed so freely with someone other than my mom. 

    I also think it was one of his better decisions. There's that voice again, who is that? 

    Who are you?  

    You can call my Betty. Betty? my thoughts name is Betty? that's a bit weird

We walk in silence for a little wile. It's not an uncomfortable silence, I kind of like just walking with John. Just as i thought that i hear a snarl behind me. Turning around, there it stands. The largest pure black wolf I've ever seen. It was almost the same size as me. 

    "Julia, I need you to run and don't look back." 

    "What about you?" I ask francantly 

    "I will catch up with you, no worries. Just run home and don't look back." I nod and start running towards home. Then i hear something snapping, turning around i now see to large wolfs, but John is nowhere to be seen. Did they get him? Stopping up i look at the two large wolfs fighting, not caring about me standing there a few feets away. Then i remember what John said and start running again. I really hope he made it out of there. When i got home i run straight up stairs and lock my room. What if he wasn't fine and I just left him there to fend for him self, what if he was hurt. At that moment i make the decision that i can't keep my distanse anymore. I've only known him for a day, and he's still looking for the mysterious girl, but i feel this attraction towards him that i just can't ignore.
