Stranger In the Woods

Winnie loved mornings. Every day she'd go down, eat breakfast, and take a long walk around the block. She especially loved the woods behind her house. It had been a while since she saw her wolf. She was starting to worry. Why hasn't he come around? She constantly thought of him. Little did she know her wolf was protecting her. She didn't think she needed protection. On starry nights she would go outside quietly and see those green eyes again in her mind. On this night particular night there was a full moon, and the woods were filled with creatures of variety. She was laying her head on the grass when a rustling of leaves caught her attention. A very pale man walked into view. He had dark brown hair and his eyes were familiar. They were the same green eyes she dreamt of. He lay down beside her. At first he didn't speak. Her hand brushed his. His skin was rough and warm. She liked the way her fingers were carefully folded in his. She didn't know why she felt at ease with him. He was quiet as she asked the obvious question on her mind. " Who are you?" He sighed deep, and whispered in her ear, " Don't you know?" Her heart was pounding. She thought she knew but she wasn't sure. She then realized the color of his eyes, and knew without a doubt. A smile spread across her face. He's here! He then replied, " Come with me!" She wanted too, but she wasn't sure. He got up, yawned quietly, and disappeared into the woods. When the time is right! the words echoed in her mind. I will come for you!
