The Wolfs Maine - By Jinni James Page 0,10

me, the internet. There were tons of social networking sites out there and sure enough I found her on one of them. By the time I started talking to her she was already in a relationship with Nicholas. I remember watching them together and thinking at the time that he was good for her. It broke my heart but I watched from afar and prayed he would continue to be good to her but years passed and he showed his true colors.

He was a down right bastard. What I wouldn’t give to end his life myself but I knew better than to even try. He was mostly just an ass, a drunk, workaholic, ass. She deserved so much better than him, soon I will help her see that. What is she going to do now? Surely she’s not going to tell Nicholas. He would certainly kill her if she told him. I quickly decided that I had to go check on her.

Chapter Four

I ran as fast as I could through the woodlands of my beautiful state. I always preferred running to driving any day. There are no road hazards, no detours, and no crazy people who cannot drive. It was just me and the scenery.

I could not help but worry that Ava was going to go home and tell Nicholas what had happened. Not that I would have minded but I do not want Nicholas killing her which I’m almost positive he will. My heart was beating so fast and I could feel every drop of sweat on my body. I had to get to her. That is all I could think about. I ran through the streets of Maine and over the Casco Bay Bridge. I just needed to see that she was okay.

Finally I got to her house and peeked through the bushes and looked in the living room, there was no sign of her. I looked in the kitchen and there was no sign of her there either. The only other place could be the bedroom and it’s on the second floor. I morphed into a hawk. What else was I going to do? I flew up to her window and stopped. She was fast asleep. She looked almost heavenly when she slept, just so peaceful. What I wouldn’t give to open this window and go lie next to her, just to feel her against me, to breathe her in, the thoughts are almost excruciating. I want to feel her again so badly but I’m torn between wanting her and yet wanting her to sleep. She doesn’t seem to sleep well anymore and she looks to be sleeping soundly now. I really don’t want to disturb her. Maybe I will just sit here and watch over her for a little while and make sure she is okay.

I sat there for what felt like a few minutes but once I looked at my watch I realized it had been three hours. Ava was starting to move around a lot in her sleep which is what prompted me to see what time it was. I guess it would be about time for her to wake. Only she wasn’t waking up right now she was rolling around the bed, she seemed restless. I wondered if she was having a bad dream. I flew back down to the front door. I just had to get in and make sure she was okay. I went back into my human form and picked the lock to her front door. Yes, I know it was crazy but what else could I do? I felt a part of her now, my whole purpose has always been to look after her.

I picked the lock which opened a little too easy in my opinion and started up the stairs to her and Nicholas’s bedroom. Just thinking about that made me want to gag a little. The only thing that comforted me was the fact that they might share a house and a bed room but he was rarely there. I think I’ve only seen them share a bed for a good length of time maybe ten times out of all these years. I finally make my way up the spiral staircase to her bedroom and peek through the door. She was rolling around still and moaning, she was definitely having a bad dream. I kept debating whether or not to go in there. I wondered what her reaction would be to me basically breaking into her house.
