The Date Not

Once we said good night to Edith Mathew took me to my house. Once there I got into the fridge and got the chicken I had been marinating since yesterday out. I placed it on the counter then went to change my clothes. When I came back downstairs Mathew follows me to the kitchen.

"What are you making tonight sweetheart?"

"I am doing an Asian themed meal. Teriyaki marinated chicken with fried rice. You can hange out in here or watch wrestling. It will be on in ten minutes. I also have the DVR set to record it so we won't miss anything either way."

"Well since you already have it set to record I will hang out with you. I love watching you cook. I think you look sexy."

"Okay darlin whatever you say. Would you grab me a soda please?"

"Sure sweetheart, do you need anything else while I'm here?"

"Nope that's everything for now."

As he watches me cooking for the next twenty minutes he throws questions at me every so often. Things are going fine till he asks me about the dream.

"Why didn't you tell me about the dreams?"

"I, I was afraid to. We have been getting along so well I didn't want to mess that up. I don't want you to think of me as a freak or something because I dream of impending doom."

"Sweetheart I don't think of you as a freak. I think it's both interesting and amazing that you have the capability to warn us so we can be as prepared as possible for it. You are my mate, my whole life I would never think of you that way."

"Do you mean it? I don't want to get my hopes up just to have them destroyed later."

"Sweetheart I promise I would never do anything like that to you."

"Okay if you say so, now do you want to eat in here or while we watch wrestling."

"Lets watch wrestling, I'll grab the soda. When we are done eating we can pause it and clean up then."

,Sounds like a plan to me."

So we go out and watch wresting while we eat. We had to take a break about twenty minutes in, the six man tag match was pissing us both off. I know it's fake and all but I was ready to throw the t.v. out the window. So I suggest we get the dishes done and calm down some. Once they are done and put away we go back to the show.

Once wrestling is over we watch a comedy show for a while to relax. As she starts drifting off on my arm I nudge her a bit and tell her to head to bed. Once she heads upstairs I check the doors and windows then follow her up. It doesn't take her long to fall asleep once we are in bed. After she falls asleep I check in with Tim and my warriors. Everything is quite so I tell them all good night.

Six a.m. my body is so conditioned to getting up I don't need an alarm anymore. After I unwrap myself from Mathew's arms I go in the bathroom and do my morning ritual then I go downstairs to make breakfast. By 7:30 I am almost done, I am wondering to myself if I should take a tray up to Mathew or leave it in the oven when he comes downstairs.

"Good your up, unless you drink coffee in the morning grab two sodas and sit down."

"Sweetheart you are going to spoil me, is there anything else I can do to help?"

"Nope it's all done. Sit down."

We sit down and eat in comfortable silence for the next ten minutes when I start asking questions.

"So where do you plan on taking me? What are we going to see? Where are we eating afterwards?"

"Well there is an eleven o clock showing of Salem's Lot or Green Mile. What would you prefer?"

"I say let's watch Salem's Lot."

"Okay that's settled, for lunch we are going to long horns steak house."

"Oh that's wonderful, I love their steak. And the. loaded baked potatoes are to die for."

"Goddess I love you. We are so in sinc it's amazing. So would you like to hang out at my place today? We can ask Edith to come along."

"I think that's a wonderful idea. When will we be going?Will anyone be up at this hour?"

Let's clean up and you go grab a jacket then we are good to go."

So we clean up, then I go grab my backpack and jacket and we head out. First we stop and pick up Edith then we head to the frat house. As we pull up I see his mom and a bunch of guys working around the big tree in the yard. Once I realized they were decorating it I had to help. As I'm working on the tree Mathew and Edith are having a conversation a little ways off.

"Did you talk to her about the dream? Was she able to tell you anything else?"

"Well we talked about it but we didn't go into detail. She is afraid I'm going to think of her as a freak. And not want to be with her."

"Yea she was bullied in school so her self esteem is a mess. I'm sorry I didn't mention it. That one of the reasons she graduated early. At least her parents got to see that."

"Well as you know I won't leave her and I refuse to allow her to be bullied by anyone here. Besides I believe if anyone hurts her Tim will get upset. After all she is his candy hook up."

"Oh I don't doubt that. I just hope her aunt doesn't try something. I'm still trying to figure out how to tell her what we are let alone explain what she could be. But we will see what happens tomorrow."

As we are working on the tree I start getting a bad feeling. As if I'm in a trance I get off the ladder and start walking toward the back of the frat house. I get about ten feet away from everyone when Edith noticed. He hits Mathew on the arm and points. As he links the guards to be ready for an attack he runs over to me and puts his arms around me.

"She is calling me but I don't want to go. I am trying to fight it but the pull is so strong. I need help."

With that he picks me up and tosses me over his shoulder. Heputs me down near Edith and his mom, when I open my eyes I see the wolves coming at us. I scream and everyone turns. Then I watch as our people start turning into wolves and attacking. I don't know why but I'm not shocked by anything I see, what worries me is if the silver/Grey Wolf shows up. For some reason I am afraid of that one. Edith grabs me by the arm and tries to pull me backward but I can't move. As I watch the fighting I feel something like a dam break inside me the I black out. When I wake up four hours later I am on a bed in a house and the fighting has ended.
