afterlife. Now if you look just over there, you can see the Dragon, or Draco.”
“Where? I don’t see anything but a bunch twinkling stars.” I laughed. I seriously couldn’t see the shapes that Willa saw in the night sky, but it was interesting to hear her tell their stories.
“You see, what looks like a box, and then sort of an S shape ending right there? That is The Dragon. It is supposedly the protector of lost treasures or High Temples.” Willa turned to face me as she finished her story. Our faces were barely two inches apart. I could see the different shades of blue shimmering in her eyes as the bright moonlight reflected off of her stormy irises. I could see myself getting lost in those eyes for an eternity and never caring for one second that I had been lost to the world as long as I was alive in her eyes.
“What are you thinking Johnathan?” she whispered.
“That I am with the most beautiful girl I have ever met, and I really don’t want this night to end because I really want to know more about the girl who is five seconds away from stealing my heart forever.”
“There is too much to tell in a mere five seconds, so your heart will be safe for a bit longer than you wish.” She leaned closer and kissed me gently on the lips. I felt every nerve ending in my body firing off all at once.
As she leaned over me staring back into my eyes, her body stiffened. It was as if she was on high alert all of the sudden. “What is it...what’s” I couldn’t finish the sentence because Willa had clamped her hand down over my mouth roughly to silence me. She listened intently. A few moments passed and I had heard nothing other than an owl hooting off in the distance.
A low menacing growl off to the right of us sounded throughout the night. “Quickly Johnathan get to your jeep.” Willa spoke in a rush as she scrambled to her feet and dragged me back to where we had parked the Jeep. The top was still off. Together we snapped the plastic covering in place, I was just about to snap the last few in place as I was pushed into the Jeep and the door slammed behind me.
Before I could figure out what had happened, I noticed that Willa was not in the Jeep with me. I heard more growling coming from outside of the Jeep. Frantically I tried to open my door to get to Willa. I couldn’t stand it if she were to get hurt because I was locked in my own Jeep. The door was jammed shut. Then I saw it. A monster come to life. We have wolves here in the Rockies, but non that compared to the giant black beast that had appeared from behind the tree line. The wolf began to snarl viciously, it was readying for an attack. I scrambled over the center console of the jeep and pushed the passenger door open. I fell head first onto the ground, hitting my head in the same spot as I had received the blow from crazy Kelly’s back pack. Instantly I grabbed the tender spot on my head and crawled forward to see where the wolf was and where Willa could be hiding. Instead of seeing Willa hiding I saw the unimaginable. That hit on the head must have done more damage than I had thought.
I rubbed my eyes to make sure I was seeing what I was seeing. I was surely watching a scene out of a horror movie, or at least a nightmare. I tried to get to my feet to warn her to get away, but my legs gave out and I crashed back to the ground. My head was splitting with pain, and fresh blood poured freely down my face.
“Willa!” I managed to shout to her. She did not turn her gaze from the giant black wolf that stood before her. She motioned with her hand for me to stay put. She stood in a fighting stance as if she was challenging the giant beast to attack. The wolf snapped and growled at her, but she wouldn’t budge from where she stood. The wolf sniffed the air and caught the scent of my blood pouring from my wound. Shit, I thought. I’m about to be freaking dog food and Willa is going to get herself killed if
