I love going this way through the forest, theres so much more vegetation growing on this side of the land. The trees seem greenier and more full of life, like it's constantly springtime in this area. There are many other paths leading up to the waterfalls and going this way is an extra ten minutes on top of the usual twenty-five... but going this way is absolutely worth it!
Shawn and Michelle always bared the extra time for me knowing it's my second favorite place and especially when we all get to peer across the countless beauty of the moon glory flowers. They only open up during the night and when the moon is at it's fullest and brightest. The field looks like its, littered with stars across the forest floor. The moonlight reflects off the white of the flowers just perfectly causing an ethereal glow in the dark. The glowing white light with its sweet smell of honey suckle causes you to feel heavenly in a dreamy wonderland. I could sit there for hours just marveling in it's beauty and I know they both would sit with me too.
As we near the top of the hill. Rushing water and laughter can be heard. Even though I have been here countless times before. The double waterfalls are always a wonderous sight. At the top of the cliff the flow of the river breaks into two streams of water cascading down through the green and orangish mossy rocks, forming into three tiers of smaller ponds overlapping each other, until it forms a blanket of water at its end, rushing down into the giant pool of water below.
In the first pond at the top. You are surrounded by these white and pink lilies that seem to sparkle with the iridescent mushrooms scouring in between. The middle pond has these shimmering rocks that line the bottom that cause a silvery light, that makes it seem as if theres tiny mermaid scales twinkling down below in the water. The last pond closest to the big pool of water, is extremely colorful almost like stained glass. Except there are small smooth colorful pebbles that line the pond. Which reflects a rainbow like appearance across the cascading blanket of water during the day.
This place holds so many wonderful secrets that I'm sure have not all been revealed. Each time I come here, theres always something so spectacular to discover. It's as if the waterfalls only let you see what it wants you too...
Michelle is the first to dive into the water, soon joined by Cole, getting as far away from April and Jessica as they grow near. Before they can get any closer. We hear hard, fast, foot steps against the ground, moving quicker and quicker from behind Jessica. We all watch in amusement, as two rough hands quickly grab her waist, yanking her backwards and flipping her in one fluid motion, up onto Trenton's shoulder as she screams! " Put me down! Right now! Trenton Michaels! You scared me half to death!" As she starts giggling incessantly, while hitting his chest! " But babe, you know I love touching your sexy body and I couldn't resist with you wearing that delectable dress, showing all your goodies perfectly!" He says, as he begins to give her feather like kisses down her neck. Causing more fits of giggles. "Ok! Ok! You two! Go find a tree would ya!" April utters to the horny love birds. Followed by more squeaks and giggles from her friend.
We watch as the two of them make there way over to the circle of rocks, that were placed years back for seating around the bonfire. All the sudden, theres a loud thwack! That rings out from Trenton's hand slapping across Jessica's ass! Making her scream out "Trenton!" then a low chuckle sounds from him. All of us just laugh and shake our heads.
I suddenly feel fingers lightly brush across the back of my neck, causing small goosebumps down my arms and legs. Soon I hear that baritone voice I've come to enjoy all these years. " Hello beautiful, I've missed you!" I turn around gazing up at his amazingly handsome face, with those one of a kind golden ocherous eyes staring back at me, with a lop sided smile pulling at his lips. "I have missed you to handsome." I reply. " So where have you been all day?" I inquire. "I've been helping my dad again, with training of the younger pups. For some reason, none of them want to listen to him. So he called me in as back up again! Apparently they don't have a problem listening to me." He says chuckling heartedly. "Probably, because they all know how excellent of a fighter you are! Plus your dad is quite the pushover.... I don't think he's realized yet, that this generation isn't like his or ours. They really don't want to do any kind of hardwork, unless they are rewarded!" I say shaking my head at the thought...
Ian and I slowly walk over to our normal place, over looking the vast forest of tall pine trees below. While discussing today's events. We chose this spot together because of the fire flies twinkling around with green, yellow and blue flashes of light, making it shimmer and shine like small pieces of glitter are falling down from the sky.
Ian had accidentally swallowed one a few months back while we were in our wolf forms, causing him to choke and sputter harshly for a few minutes. The funniest part about what had happened, was he had squished it slightly in his mouth, making it squirt out some of its luciferin juices on his tongue, making it glow bright green, for a few hours after. Making me laugh hysterically, everytime he went to talk, seeing his mouth all glowy and green. His response was " It didn't taste bad.... But I would prefer not to have a mouth, that looks like a glow stick!" Making me laugh even more at the sight before me!
That's one thing I loved about Ian, is he made everything so simple and easy around him, even though this world was very cruel to him! Ian's mother, had been the same care free spirit until the day she was kidnapped by the fairies. His mom wasn't a werewolf. She was a human mate and fairies sought out werewolf mates like her, because their offspring produced a longer life force. Giving the fairies the magic needed to help keep them younger looking, while adding more years to their life. Even though they hypnotized other pregnant humans. A human pregnant with a werewolf pup. Was the divine treasure of youth. That's why fairies fed upon the younlings. It gave them a longer life, giving them the opportunity to live thousands of years, instead of the hundreds that most other creatures lived.
When his mother was taken, he was only six years old. She was pregnant with his baby sister at the time of the abduction. His mother and three other human mates were kidnapped from our pack, right before each of the women were to give birth. Alpha Brent had took six of our best trackers and warriors, along with my father. But the rescue had taken longer then anyone predicted it would. Ian's little sister had been murdered with two of the other female pack members babies.
They were able to rescue his mother and all three other women. But only one of the infant pups survived. Ian's mom was sooo guilt ridden, with pain and anger from not being able to protect and save her daughter. That she took her own life, four months after everyone returned home. Ian's father, buried himself in work and anything else he could do, to not be at home. Trying to distract himself from the torturous pain from losing his mate and child. Ian was left alone to fend for himself through all the anguish of not only losing his baby sister, but his mother as well.
He is one of the strongest people I know physically and emotionally. At times I believe that's why he always cracks jokes, as his way of brushing any feelings away. " Hey Artic! Do you know what kind of underwear clouds wear?" I chuckle lightly as I say " No, I do not know what kind of underwear clouds wear, Ian." "Thunder wear!" He says in a rumbling voice, before laughing and myself as well. But then again, I think Ian enjoys telling cheesey jokes! He's completely and utterly the biggest dork! " Ian, you are the cheesiest person in the universe!" "And you, love every minute you spend with my cheesey face!" He tells me, making us both giggle.
I do love all the moments, I spend with him! But I won't ever tell him that! He already has a big enough complex about himself as it is. But I guess, why wouldn't you, when you looked like him and always had girls swooning over you... Ian was everything a girl could want or dream for. He was devilishly handsome at 6'5 with his golden ocherous eyes, that resembled a field of sunflowers, his soft coal black hair, that only helped his eyes pop more. A beautiful smile of pearly white teeth and a small dimple on his left cheek, an amazing muscular build, especially his back and shoulder muscles, I enjoyed ogoling at! With his obnoxiously sweet personality. He was the total package!
Even though he had girls screaming for his attention. He only had eyes for me, no matter who tried to persuade him. I don't know if Ian and I are mates and it hurts my heart to think, that there could be a chance another girl is ment to capture his. I pray to the moon goddess every night to let our fates be intertwined!
But until I turn eighteen.... I will not know one hundred percent. Ian is still seventeen, at least for another month. He told me, he hopes that he'll be able to feel if we have that bond between us, because I know it'll shatter him just as much as me! If the moon goddess says we are not ment for each other... As we're sitting in comfortable silence leaning on each other watching the fire flies, we hear Shawn yelling "Trenton! Don't you fucking dare!"
Ian stood there silently grasping my arm, quickly pulling me against his chest pressing me tighter into him. Even after I had told him all I wanted was just to be alone. " Please Ian, I need some room to breathe, I feel like I'm being crushed by the world around me, with everyone staring at me like that. I need to be alone right now, whether you agree with me or not." I begged him. We both stood there, quietly taking in each others warmth; before he reluctantly loosened his grip from around my torso, letting me push pass him and walk out the door. I was going to tell everyone about my dream?? or vision?? I wasn't sure as what to call it... But, as soon as Elder Lilia started telling me about how these vile creatures were going to keep coming after me, all because I was supposedly one of the chosen ones. I took that as my way out. To fake being upset so I could get away from everyone around me. There was no way I could stay and put everyone in my pack in danger because of me. I needed
Golden light flashed behind my eyes, soon fading away into a light blur of white, as the world around me spun. The feeling of strong hands pulling at something deep within, brought me crashing back into reality, releasing me from the dream state I was in. A few speckles of white light remained, slowing bouncing around my vision as everything surrounding me came into focus once more. My eyes were quickly drawn to the women sitting in front of me, chanting furiously, with her eyes softly closed. My hand shot out on it's own accord, lightly tapping her on her right shoulder. I jumped back into the couch cushion as, Elder Lilia's eyes shot open, apparently feeling the same jolt of electricity I had when my fingers made contact with her shoulder. She sprang forward, encompassing me in her arms, squeezing the air out of me as she " Thanked the Moon Goddess over and over for bringing me back," Alpha Brent's voice boomed over everyone elses across the room, as he quickly made his way to my
Hello everyone, this is S. Jones husband. I do apologize for the very late update, But, as of now my wife is in the hospital again.

Thanks again for all of your support.
I watched around me as everyone tried to mask the horror, that spread across all of their faces. Even though, everything was given away within the depths of each of their eyes. I stood up quickly, pushing past Ian as I rushed to the bathroom. Flicking on the light, I caught the glimmer of iciness that coated my cheek, spreading up into my eye socket. There was no way of stopping my hand as it shot up, pressing hard over my mouth as I tired to stifle the scream that tore it's way up my throat and passed my lips. The girl, staring back at me in the mirror, looked broken beyond repair. Hair twisted in knots, as if it had been caught out in the wind all day. My once nice purple long sleeve shirt and jeans now torn and crumpled, like each piece of clothing had been raked against tree after tree, shredding the fibers. Still, the one thing that my left eye couldn't look away from, was the blistering frost bite that ran across the other side of my face, where my once cool artic blue
" Sarah, Sarah, won't you open those eyes of yours? I want to see those beautiful artic orbs, after all they will be mine soon," I hear this scratchy, unnerving voice ask me. Still, no matter how hard I seemed to try to open my eyes, I couldn't. They felt heavy and sticky, like they were glued shut. The sounds of many moving around me, bristled through my ears, making me flinch at the closeness, causing my heart rate to spike with every sound of movement made. I could have sworn each time that I flinched, I could hear some where in the distance the sound of whatever around me laugh, only making me struggle even more to try and open my eyes or move.....? But, I wasn't even sure if I was doing that.... I couldn't feel the rest of where my limbs should be, only my eyes felt heavy and that puzzled me even more to what was happening to me. Flashes of white light danced and bounced around the back of my eye lids, as I listened to the things moving around me. At
I watched as the soft pelt of rain drops splattered against my bedroom window. Leaving behind little squiggles of water, as they slid down the glass. I wasn't aloud to go any furthter then my desk, given what I had been through. I was still having a hardtime staying focus on even the smallest things. My brain felt heavy, like there was a neverending fog floating around inside my skull, leaving me with the feeling like I was never truly awake. The clock on my desk chimed and spun as the ballerina danced, letting me know my brothers would soon be home. I should feel happy that they were finally coming back. But, I couldn't shake this feeling that sat in the pit of my stomach, churning as time grew near. Shawn, had told everyone that he wouldn't discuss anything until they had arrived, letting all the unsaid words speak for themselves. Even the sharpest of knives couldn't cut through the tension in the air that surrounded each of us. A dark cloud was hovering over our h
