Alisi had just gotten back from the lake. She entered her cave and set the water she had gotten at the lake down. She then went and laid down on her bed. Soon, she had fallen asleep, her mind once again drifting into the nightmares. The nightmares where she died. Where everyone else died. The ones where no one else was left but her. So many different nightmares, most of them revolving around her being alone. The loneliness filled her heavy heart like the darkness of a moonless night. Like the mountain's shadow. Like the remorseless creatures that dwelled bellow the surface.
Alisi awoke with a start, sweat pouring down her back. She had just awoken from the dream where she died. She had been stabbed straight through the heart in that dream. She put her hand over her heart, thankful that it was just a dream. Even knowing it was just a dream, it had left her with a feeling of fear. She sat in her bed, telling herself over and over again; It's just a dream, It's just a dream.
Alisi then got up and opened the door. The moon was out now, but Alisi decided to stay inside for a while. She went to the back of her room and rummaged through the mess of books in that area. After she found the book she was looking for, she went to her bed and sat down, then started reading. It was a book about the humans. She found it very interesting. While she was reading, someone was sneaking up to the door. Alisi didn't notice; she was too busy reading. Suddenly, the door burst open, and the person/ creature came barging in.

She wakes up alone in the darkness. Even in wolf form she is sometimes afraid of the dark. Walking around a bit, she hears something not too far away. She creeps up toward where she hears the nearby sound. Nothing there but a long ago dead fire. She sniffs a bit and tracks down along the mountain. No other being in sight. She gives up eventually and sits down on a rock. Looking up at the full moon, she smiles as she dozes off once more, being consumed by the darkness.

Done.

Done Done Done. Macey was absolutely over it all. She had tried to put up with her mother's shenanigans the best that she could, but this was just insane. "She did it, she actually did it. She emailed my teacher drunk, trying to date him." she thought, a headache dully forming in the back of her mind.

She pulled her hair up into a ponytail as she made her way up the mountain. Sure, it was 2 am, but what did she care? Worse comes to worse she knees a guy in the guy and makes a run for it. Besides, she seriously doubted anything would happen. The mountains occasionally had wolves, but other than that she saw no danger in her being there as long as she was careful.

As she walked through the dampened grass, she made her way to the side of the lake, looking at her moonlit reflection. She thought of how her father would take her to this lake, and they would fish, talk, laugh...

"God, I miss him." she whispered to herself with a tear, but she quickly brushed it away with her sweater. He wouldn't want her to cry...

But it's not like he would know.

Out of exhaustion, she soon found herself being lulled to sleep by her memories, and eventually fell asleep on a dry patch of grass.
