Thud…thud…thud…thud… I glanced around my dream world wondering what the thudding was and what is was coming from. Two wolves raced past me, one on both sides. I turned with the wind to watch them thunder through the scarce trees until they blended with the odd pure black of my dreams. Were canines supposed to get that big? I wondered silently in my empty head.

 I knew the type of dream I was in. A waking dream, one where I usually said what happened, where I could talk and move on my own free will. I couldn’t do that now. I was fully aware I was dreaming and knew I should wake up and forget this in body, out of mind world where I was here but still…not here. I started as the thundering of paws came again. This time though, it was only one wolf, at first. The other followed several feet behind. They stopped in front of me and panted.

 “So, who won, Rose?” The first one asked. Instantly I spoke. “It was nose to nose but at the last moment…” They leaned in with pricked ears. “Dante won!” I yelled, hugging the big silver wolf that howled in delight. Suddenly, fur turned to skin and pale arms wound around me. I glanced into the face of the wolf shifter. His silver hair hung down to tickle his chin and hide his electric blue eyes. Here was where I woke up. I jolted up right and stared around the plane. The other p*censored*engers were waking and getting ready to leave. I was leaving home, going to live with my brother in Arkansas. I sighed and gathered my bags, preparing to get off the plane. The next few months would certainly be interesting.
