I walked away from the window just as Robin walked into the room. I glanced over at him "Hey". "Hello. Just came to check you were ok" he smiled softly. "Could we go for a walk in the woods?" i asked, returning the smile for the first time without blushing. "Sure we can, there's some clothes in the wardrobe" he replied and walked out carefully shutting the door. I walked over to the wardrobe, opened it and was surprised to see present day clothes and not old fashioned ones. Me being me i picked out the shortest skirt i could find and a strappy top with some silver flat shoes.1

I walked out of the bedroom door and downstairs, i kept feeling a cold draft but i decided it was nothing, after all this was a old house. "Robin?" i called. He appeared at the bottom of the stairs and i jumped back, startled. "Whoa! How'd you get there so fast?" i asked, shaking from the fright. He took my hand and led me down the stairs "I was there from the start, silly" he assured me. I stopped shaking and walked out of the front door and started towards the woods. Robin shut the door and walked beside me, still smiling.3

We were about half way into the forest when Robin pointed towards a family of wolves. I smiled "There so cute!". "Yeah they are" he agreed. "I want one!". "There too young". "Can i go and at least see if i can make friends with them?" i asked him. "Sure you can". I set off walking towards them slowly. I walk up to them and the mother wolf turns her gaze on me, not threatening just curious. I reach out my hand and she pads closer, my hand touches her nose, i kneel down then i begin to stroke her. After a few minutes she barks and her pups run over and jump all over me. Laughing i fall onto the floor backwards, they cover my face with licks. A twig snaps loudly and all the pups stop and run to their mother, i stand and brush the dust off my knees. A huge wolf silhouette jumps out of the bushes with a vicious snarl.5

I stare in horror at the wolf, evident by it's size that it was a male. It steps into the sun light. It was a pure black with peircing amber orbs, that were pinned straight on me. The wolf bared its teeth in a snarl and pads towards me, i walk backwards slowly never taking my eyes from him. I whisper soothing words to the wolf and reach out my hand towards him. He pads forwards and touches my hand with his sniffer. I smile and stroke him. "Good boy" i soothe as i continue to stroke his head. Suddenly the wolf snaps at my fingers, just missing them. I grab his muzzle and slam it into the floor. "No! Bad wolf!" i shout. The male wolf whimpers and presses against me in apology, i stroke him then let him return to his family and i skip back to Robin.7

"You okay?" he asks. "Yeah I'm fine" i reply. "Good". For a while there is awkward silence before Robin breaks it. "Um, you wanna go back to the house?". "Yeah sure". As we walk back to the house in silence, the wolf pack howls, i smile and walk into the house, followed by Robin...9
