I took the day to catch up on some reading for work, I am not saying that I am behind but I have been flooded with new samples from a ton of different authors. My boss hosted an event for new authors to be able to come into the light, so that we as a company may be able to publish their work. I told him that it was a fantastic idea to get fresh books out in the market. We had over 450 new authors come to the open event. So needless to say I have a lot of work on my hands.
As the day progressed and my coffee running out on top of my body beginning to feel like a bag of potatoes. I get up form my desk and get ready to go for a run. My house isn't far from town so I run through town and around into a forest trail that has the most beautiful miniature waterfall a river than flows throughout the trail and comes out a mile outside of town. Making my way down the road towards town I feel my body start pick up speed as my mind drift to unpleasant times. My mind replaying all the time when I would run for my life and not just for enjoyment. I could still feel every slap, every punch, every time he would rape me. My body subconsciously began to run faster and harder trying to relieve the phantom pain that still haunts my body.
Snapping out of my trace I notice that I have made it into town, before I had a chance to slow down or to move out of the way, I crashed into someone on the side walk. Our bodies smashed together sending us both flying to the ground. My instincts took no time to kick in, shooting me up without hesitation, like it hadn't even happened. When the man that I ran into to got up from the ground, It was as if the whole world slowed down almost to a stop. I am in a solid trance, I cant help but notice everything about this man. How is ink back hair is messy on top of his head and how is emerald green eyes shine bright staring at me. His body is well built looking like he works out everyday, no doubt about it. Coming back to reality and out of my drool session I begin to pay more attention to my surroundings. It was like I was in another dimension, I look over to the mystery man and noticed that his face was no longer his own. He bared the face of a wolf, it looked like a form of energy that was a part of this man, the energy shined a bright golden color and the wolf looked strong and fierce. My surroundings began to fade away and time began to move normally again.
"Hey are you okay?" The man took a step forward and I couldn't help but take a step back to ensure that he did not touch me.
"I... I.... I am sorry." I manage to spit out an apology before I made a good run for it down the side walk towards the trail. I didn't look behind me to see if he tried to follow me but my gut told me to keep running until I made it home. I didn't even give myself time to enjoy the landscape.
When I made it home I went straight to the fridge to get a cold bottle of water that my body so desperately needed. I couldn't stop thinking about that man and what I saw. Or maybe I was just imagining it. I decide that I just needed to drop it and that I will probably not see that man again. I take a shower and get back to my reading. As time flies on by I feel my eyes start to droop and the chapter that I have reread at least three different times becomes more and more blurry. I put the book down and head to bed. I slam myself into my bed not even bothering to strip my clothes or turn off the bathroom light.
A bright light hits my face and fills my body with warmth. I begin to follow it as it leads me to a forest, it is bright, with flowers blooming everywhere and the leaves are more vibrant than ever. As I keep walking I see a figure standing in the distance. It was like orbs that held different dark colors, such as black, dark blue, and brown. This figure had no face but it pointed to at a door that sat at the edge of the forest. I walked towards the door hoping to find answers to this mysterious dream. I almost make it to the door when I hear a deep dangerous growl from a distance , I turn slowly trying not make any sudden movements. When I make a full turn to face the animal behind the growl. It was a wolf, it looked exactly like the one that I had seen on that man. Before I could do anything the wolf charged at me knocking down to the ground. The last thing a saw were its teeth...
Shooting up in bed and automatically checking my clock, it reads 2:30am. I get up to take a shower, the heat of the water feels like heaven on my back and helps my body relax. My mind continues to try to piece together the dream but comes up with nothing that could possibly make sense. After my shower I attempt to return to bed but find myself tossing and turning until my alarm went off at 6am.
Making it to work early is not an everyday thing for me but today was just on of those days. I was the first on in the building and no doubt I will be the last one out. My day is filled with nothing but meetings due to the flood of new material that we accumulated from the Readers Event. The last meeting of the afternoon was with Johnson and a new author that we found at the event. Johnson said that he had high hopes for this author. I make it to the conference room with my 5th cup of coffee of the day and a muffin. I take a seat at table across from Johnson, I give him a small nod and a smile.
"Camilla how is the new house?" Johnson asked
"It is good. Nice and quiet. I like it, I think that it is good for me. Of course I have a keep an eye out for the wolves that sometimes come out of the forest, but other than that I a comfortable."
"Wolves, you say?" He looked at me curiously.
"Yeah I have seen a couple, but they do not bother me so I do not bother them." I say
"What kind o..." He was cut off my the conference room door opening and people began to flood in and filling the empty chairs around the table. The meeting was unfortunately long and the new author seemed like a good fit for our company.
After finishing my reports from the meetings and making sure that I schedule appointments to meet with the new authors, I grab my things and begin my journey to the parking lot. Of course as I explained before I was the first one the in and the last one out. The office was dark, only thing that illuminated the all was the exit signs above the doors. I make it to the elevators and notice a figure move on the other side of the room, I move into the elevators quickly, not wanting to face the figure of mystery.
I press the P button to head down to the parking lot, I play on my phone while I take the long ride down. When I hear the ding of the elevator and place my phone in my back pocket. I went to step out of the elevator and was abruptly stopped by the man that I ran into on the side walk the other day. He pushed me back into the elevator and slammed me up against the wall.
"What the hell did you do to me?!?!?" He yelled
