Selena had been enjoying the quiet of the forest until she heard the sound of someone running. It made her jump and want to run until the wind blew a familiar scent to her. At that one moment her and her wolf when in perfect sync when they both sighed in happiness at the same time. It was a strange feeling but she had felt happiness since Cody hadn't given up on her, but hten came crippling guilt at how mean she had been to the guy that had only been trying to help her.<br/><br/>She still didn't move though and her ears were straining to hear his voice; to see if he had come to yell at her; anything! Al; she heard for a little while was his heavy brathing and she wondered how hard he had ran to find her. When he did speak though she was startled by his sudden voice ringing in her ears,<span style="font-style: italic">"It's nice sometimes to be out on your own in the woods. But the woods can be dangerous. Just remember that â€¦...But you should still find a little peace around here.â€ </span>Her heart raced for a moment as his voice was lke music for his ears; espically since he didn't sound too angry with her.<br/><br/>She didn't respond at first as she collected her thoughts but after a minute or so she sat up and looked over at him. For a moment she just looked at him and couldn't help thinking that he looked bautiful in the moonlight. Thhe soft rays of the moon highlighted the planes of his toned stomach and leanly muscled arms. His hair cast a soft shadow across his face making his lips seem ever more intresting. Then she blinked snapping herself out of her trance and wondrng what was wrong with her.<br/><br/>She the took a deep breath and let it out and said what needed to be said with a look of guilt on her face. The guilt was actully so bad that she didn't even look him in the eyes, "Look, Cody I'm sorry... I.. I don't know why I snapped at you like that back there." Her hand moved to her necklace like she always did when she was thinking or nervous, "You didn't deserve me being mean to you at all when all you've done is help me." When saying that she couldn't help finally looking up into his face so he could see and hear the sincerity with which she said all this, "I really am very grateful for you helping me and asking nothing in return when you have a right to. You are even offering to help me and tell me things that I know is true but didn't want to hear, but needed to hear it." She bit her lip and looked down at the ground again as he thumb brushed over the engraving on her locket, "I would really appricate you helping me with understanding what I am, and how to shift and remember." This she said quietly since her wolf side scared her the most, but she had to accept what she was. She had to, because she planned to use everything she learns and finally face the black wolf. She didn't want to put Cody or his clan in danger. Not after all he was doing for her and what he was offering.<br/><br/>So there she sat on the ground with a few leaves caught in her hair and acting 100 subservient to a man she had just met that day. A man that the wolf she was starting to get to know wanted to be around, and who could be the answer to all her problems. So she now waited to see if he would forgive her, or kick her out....
