Blue Eyes (chapter two)

I  keep hiking until around noon then I stop to eat. I make my self a peanut butter and jelly sand which and drank a few sips from a bottle of water. Not knowing when or where I'm going to have my next meal I eat conservatively. I don't want to run out of supplies at least not until I have found a new place to stay. Darkness fell at about eight that night and I didn't dare make a fire. So I grabbed a few dried out logs and I lay them down next to each other then spread out a quilt on top. I then placed my back pack on one end for a pillow then grabbed another quilt I covered up and fell into a deep sleep. 1

I slept easy for the first time in ages. No bad dreams came to me  that night. The sounds of the woods soothed me to sleep peacefully. I was at home in the woods I never felt so wonder full. Just to think if I wouldn't have left I would be so down and depressed right now but instead I feel so happy to finally be doing something for me. Finally I feel like I belong in some weird way. I did not fear anyone any longer. I did not care if at home or school the next day I was listed as a dork or a weirdo. I did not care if they search and search and never come up with anything. I didn't even care if they all assumed me dead. In fact at the moment, they only thing I cared about was my peaceful dream.2

For once I dreamed of something different. I dreamed that I was walking in a forest different than the one I'm in. There was a few flowers, it must have been spring, I was carrying a fishing pole made from a stick. Over my shoulder I had about three fish tied to one another. I was walking and my white wolf comes running to catch up to me and we walk together. I put my arm on his back as we walk along. His fur was really warm to the touch. He looks up at me and I look at him then he runs up ahead. He stops at the base of a tree and I look up. The tree was very big so big in fact that I could build a house on the top of it. It all became clear as i sat down at the base of it as my friend had. He was telling me that this is the tree this is my new home. but how could I work with a tree I didn't want to cut it down. Maybe I could build my hose in it's branches or inside of it.3

I am startled out of my slumber at about six or seven. I hear a crunching in the leaves i get out my knife ready to attack. Out jumps a cute little rabbit. "aw I thought how cute are you." It came over to me and sat in my lap. I can still remember how little and tiny it was and it just fit in the palm of my hand. I can imagine that if I was scared of it in that much of a way that it must be terrified of me. Yet it came over to see if I was really scary or not. I knew at once that in this place, I wouldn't be judged for my appearance but for who I am on the inside . I stroke its back and then I get up and it jumps away. The most wonder full welcome committee I've ever had.4

I got up and packed what I had taken out the night before and I set off again to find my new home. I don't know how long I walked that first couple of hours but it sure did seem like for ever. So I decided to take a good rest at about ten or eleven and I ate a peanut butter and jelly sand which and drank some water. I feel someones eyes are watching me. I catch a glimpse of something white run off into the darkness of the shadows.  I quickly put up my things and choose to eat and walk the rest of the way. I walk another two or three miles and I hear a crackle of     leaves and I turn my head. I don't see anything but I can still sense I'm being watched. I walk on a few more feet then I allow my mind to wander off thinking about what could be following me. I let my eyes wander of the way ahead and look off to my side for a moment. As you can probably guess I tripped and my foot got tangled all in a tree root. I turn around and close my eyes expecting any minute to be devoured by the  ruthless creature that has been hiding in the shadows waiting for the right time to attack me, the right time for it to have a good meal before the full front of winter kicks in.5

I sit there for about two minutes then slowly I open my eyes and I realize that my stalker had been the wolf from my dream.He was even more breath taking in person. He came over slowly choosing his steps wisely. He stops two or three inches from my nose and we just gaze at each other for a moment. We saw into each others thoughts, into each others hearts and into both of our souls. Both of them battered and torn, both hurt tattered, and both scared with the aches and pains of being lonely all of our lives. For a brief second we were confiding in each other sharing each others best kept secrets. How I longed for him to talk to me and tell me of his problems but he didn't have to. I could read into his thoughts and I could see all the events that has shaped his character and his mind. From that moment on my heart and soul belonged to him. The one creature to ever love me for me and not some one or some thing else. And thank fully He gave me his heart and soul and devoted his life to me. Little did I know we were about to be bonded together for ever in a way I didn't think possible.6
