When I heard that- thing running towards me, I began to run. It began to bark and growl menacingly. It's then when I knew it was a wolf, and it was angry. I tripped off with a branch and turned around to see it. White, gray and huge, it jumped into me. All I could do was cover my face with my arms, and my hood fell. I didn't care as long as I stayed alive. Then it froze, and I was able to see those green- blue eyes that once belonged to her... The wolf let me get up and sat down. My eyes got full of tears as I patted its head, finally passing to hug her. Her pack arrived, and after one of them standing up and putting its large paws on my shoulders, then leaving, she started howling. I understood it was because she was sad that left me and she missed me and because she was happy that I could see her again.
"Freastal linn eile." Her eyes shined. "So, are you resting like this for the rest of your days or what?"
I noticed we were in a rock circle. THE rock circle. As soon as she entered, moonlight hit her, snow all around falls, and she returned to human form. As the moon came out completely a voice said "One night... you have one night..." and then it faded. I watched down. She was lying on the floor and wearing different clothes to those she had on when I lost her once. This time I knew I'd lose her for sure, but the last time I had had the hope that she would change her mind, that's why it had hurt so much. Under this light source she began to stir, and I quickly helped her get up. Her clothes, though simple, made her look beautiful. She had a leather bracelet braided with green and blue strings ending in a circle-shaped golden pendant with a carved wolf paw. Her swater was light blue mathching her jeans and brown boots.
We went for a stroll, leaving our prints in the snow. Everything was silent, and then I saw a snowflake falling. I caught it, and as it melted in my hand, we saw how it shined a bit. We continued walking, night passing slowly. We found ourselves in a tree circle. I stared her directly and approached to her. She stood there, and put her hands in my shoulders. I hugged her, but in that moment, dawn began breaking. I had enjoyed being with her, but I had the funny feeling that I wasn't going to see her anymore. The sun bathed us with light, and as she began to return to her wolf form I began to feel dizzy. the last thing I could remember was saying
"I..."
Then everything became black and I fell asleep. When I got up, I wasn't anymore at the forest. I was before a huge manor, carved deer were standing by the door. I knocked the door softly, but it opened by itself. I was in a large hall, where a single table was standing before a staircase. It had a statue all over it. A rock with a lizard and a tree raising, a bird posed on one of the "dried" branches. As I touched the table, a bear appeared. A voice said behind me
"We were waiting for you. Welcome home."
