1. Run
I was walking into the woods...it was dark except for the moonlight peering through the trees above me. I needed to get away from all of my problems, that's why I'm in the woods. All I could hear were the rustling of the leaves under my feet and the whistling of the wind around me. When all of a sudden...I hear footsteps behind me! I start to panic and I start to walk faster, but the footsteps keep up with my pace. I start to run like my life depends on it, then I see...a house! I'm saved! I scramble to get inside the house, I close the door and I look around the house. I slowly started to make my way to the kitchen; if there was any food left I could fill my backpack full of food. I opened the refrigerator door. FOOD! I immediately started packing my back with food, I didn't care that some of the food was non-perishable I just needed some food so that I can survive out here for a while. I closed the fridge and walked to the cupboards,
"I hope there's some fruit snacks or crackers or something in there for me to eat right away."
I thought to myself; I opened it up and I sighed with relief. I found a big box of fruit snacks that had maybe twenty packages left and three sleeves of crackers. I tore open one of the packages of crackers and began to devour the whole sleeve, I go to open the next sleeve but I soon remember that I'm temporarily homeless. So I carefully put the remaining sleeves of crackers and packages of fruit snacks in my back. As my stomach was settling, I took one of my water bottles out of my bag and unscrew the cap, and took a long sip out of it. I wipe my mouth with the back of my hand, close the bottle, and put it back in my backpack.
While I was looking around to see if anyone else was here, I see a sign that says in black writing,
"You will find help down in the basement"
So I follow, I carefully make my way down the stairs when suddenly I trip and fall over...a hand? I stand up and I see all of these people in cages, their all bandaged up with dried blood. I see an unconscious man laying on the floor, I walk up closer so that I can get a better look at him. I squat down to look at him when he opens up his eyes, his eyes are a vibrant green!
Like a cat's eyes, I'm almost fascinated by his eyes that I didn't notice that he started to wince in pain. I snap out of my daze and I look in my bag and dig out my bottle of aspirin and my water bottle, I look at him and tell him,
"Okay, I need you to sit up so that I can help you and give you some aspirin and water. If that's okay with you?"
He looks at me and groans in pain when he starts to sit up. I put the pills in his hand and I hand him the water, he takes the pills and swallows. He then turns towards me and says,
"Why are you being so nice to me? You don't even know me, what if I'm dangerous and I could hurt you." He says before he takes another swig of my water bottle and hands it back to me. He sighs and looks at me and smiles, I look at the guy and I see that he has wolf-like fangs in his mouth.
He notices me looking and smiles wider, I start to busy myself by finding food in my bag. He looks at me again and says,
"I know what your thinking...Why does he have those wolf-fangs in his mouth?"
I can feel my cheeks turning red, and I look down at the floor. I clear my throat and say,
"Um..I...I was uh...I wasn't looking at anything really." I stammered. He smirks and looks at me with his beautiful green eyes.
I start to get up when he suddenly grabs my hand and says,
"Don't you wanna know my name sweetheart?"
I begin blushing again and since I clearly can't make eye contact with him, I tilt my head down and shield my face with my hair. I look at him and say,
"Well...what is your name or are you too pretty to say it?" I said rushed.
He looks at me wide-eyed and starts to laugh, he sighed.
"Damn, I didn't expect a good sarcastic comment like that." He laughs,
"But anyway, my name is Tyler...but you can call me Wolf. I know right? So unique, so sweetheart...what's your name? Or can I just keep on calling you, sweetheart?"
I look at Tyler or Wolf wide-eyed...nobody has called me that, not even my late mother wouldn't even call me that.
I take a deep breath and decided to be confident when I would tell Tyler my name. I made eye contact and said, "Well...my name is Cordelia but my friends call me Daisy. And yes, you can keep on calling me sweetheart anytime babe."
DAMN IT! I turned around quickly and started blushing like crazy and facepalmed myself, "Damn" I thought to myself. "I'm so f*****g stupid! Babe? What the hell is wrong with me?"
I was in the middle of deciding either to kill myself, dig a hole and die in it or turn around and handle the situation right away. I was going to turn around until I felt a hand on my shoulder and a hot breath on the back of my neck. I didn't know what was happening until Tyler started talking,
"Um...do you want to know what I smelled before you came and woke me up?" I shivered.
"What did you smell?"
Tyler inhales deeply,
"Not to be weird...but I smelled you. I smelled vanilla and roses." Tyler says with a smile.
"It was faint at first, but as you got closer...the stronger the scent. And I knew that you're the one...that your my mate."
