I had her forever.

~~~~~~~

Three rabbits and four squirrels later I started to feel refreshed. A few more should do it.

Normally, I would try to find big game, like that time with Jacob. But, unlike that day, It usually takes all night. I got lucky that one time. And tonight I didn’t have that kind of time or luck.

I wanted to see Jacob again.

I dashed around to every sound, missing sometimes due to my distraction. I caught a few more rodents I felt completely satisfied and turned towards Jacob’s.

Before I knew it, I was outside his window.

~~~~~~~

I was only in bed for a hour, maybe two, when I awoke to a familiar smell outside. Like sweet flowers.

I ran to the unlocked window and threw it open before she had a chance to. There she stood, her golden eyes glowing in the moonlight. More beautiful every time I see her.

“Hey, I’m back!” Her voice was so light and angelic. It had this ability to always make me lose my train of thought.

She climbed in silently into my waiting arms, wrapping her arms around my neck. I couldn’t look away from her eyes. I carried her to the bed and sat down, never having her leave my arms.

“I’m glad you came,” I admitted. She smiled.

“I hunted small game. Had to hunt a little more, but they’re easier to find. Tricky little buggers, though, a few got away before I could feed. They got lucky.” She had a sly smile on her face.

I leaned in to kiss her, but hesitated. She laughed in her light, airy way, she knew my reasoning.

“Yes, I cleaned up. Not even a trace.” She smiled and took over where I left off.

“You look exhausted. Maybe you should sleep,” her face concerned. She kissed me again, forcing me to lay down on the bed. I then realized how tired I really was.

“I’ll stay all night, I promise. I’ll leave when I hear Billy stir,” she told me like she did every night. But this night she added to it. “I’ll be back at 11:45 like I said I would.” She kissed my cheek and I closed my eyes, a small smile glued to my face.

I slept all night with her cold, hard body in my arms. It was my favorite thing in the world.
