I'm unexpectedly yours.

Chapter 10.1: Northern wolf

"Skye ?"

Skye moved when someone was tapping her shoulder. She slowly opened her tired eyes and she immediately saw Maddie, carefully waking her up. It was already morning.

"Someone wants to talk to you." Maddie said in a soft voice.

Skye's forehead creased. She was confused. Who is this someone who wanted to talk to her this early. She doesn't have any friends here yet. And it couldn't be her father because he's way too busy to care about her. And definitely not her ex too.

"Who is it?" Skye asked . Her voice was a little hoarsed. Maybe from shouting last night.

Maddie just sighed and replied. "Just go with downstairs."

"Okay." Skye said Ang gradually sat up. "I'm just gonna wash my face." She added.

Maddie got out of the room when Skye go to the bathroom.

She washed her face on the sink and looked at the mirror in front of her. Her mind recalled what happened last night. Then fear she felt immediately returned. She got goosebumps. She didn't expect that it would show up again. And unfortunately, in their neighborhood.

She knew it the same one she saw the other day. They have the same color of the eyes. Yes, she's sure of it.

Skye stopped herself from thinking about it. She doesn't care if that thing will come back again. She will leave soon together with Maddie.

She wiped her face with a clean towel and got out on the bathroom. She took some decent clothes from the closet and changed quickly . Then she came out of the room and go downstairs.

Skye heard some people talking from the living room so she went there. There were two men in a police uniform sitting on their sofa talking to Maddie and Levi. Who was sitting across from them.

One of the two men stood up when he saw Skye entered the room.

"Good morning. You must be Skye ?" He greeted and asked. He was nearly as tall as Levi's and around the age of 40's. He was well built and he had a mustache.

Skye just nodded at him. And cautiouslu walking towards Maddie's side.

"I'm Johnny Fisher. Town's sheriff." He said holding out his hand to Skye.

She reached out and they shook hands.

"And this is my buddy. Officer Mitchell." He introduced the other guy in uniform. He has an average weight and maybe 2 inches taller than her. His dark brown hair was neatly combed back.

Officer Mitchell smile at her and shook her hands too.

"There's something we want to show you but let's take a seat first." Sheriff Fisher said, sitting down on the sofa and the rest followed. Skye sat down beside Maddie, facing the Sheriff.

"So Skye, Levi and your sister here came to the station on Tuesday evening. They had reported to us about the matter that involves you. They said that you saw an animal on the woods on that same day. Is that correct?" The sheriff started. The way he talked was oddly comforting. He is like carefully choosing the right words to say. Unlike other men in uniform that were straight to the point.

Skye glanced at Maddie and back to the sheriff. " Yes ." she replied.

"Can you describe to us what it is?" Fisher asked her warily.

Skye think for a while. She took a deep breath before she replied. Recalling the day she encountered that thing and tried to remember it.

"It's a wolf. But not just an ordinary wolf . It was big. Bigger than me actually. " She replied as she thought about it.

"Do you remember it's color ?" The sheriff added.

"Brown." Skye immediately replied. "It's fur is brown. I'm not entirely sure if all of it's body has a brown fur but almost. "

"Okay. " The sheriff said before he took a glance at the couple beside her. "Skye. There's something we wanted to show you. I want you tell us if this is what you saw, okay?"

Skye was confused but still nodded.

Then officer Michelle grab the brown envelope that was on his side when Sheriff Fisher called him.

He opened it for them and it revealed some photos. He carefully placed it on the small table on the center.

Fisher took one of it and drag it towards Skye. "Is this i, Skye ?" He carefully asked.

Skye's gazed at the photo. She slowly picked it up from the table and look at it closely.

And there on the photo, a wolf's unconscious body was laying in the ground just by the woods. The wolf has brown fur all over it's body. It size was bigger than an average wolf. And it had wound on its left side of it's chest. Where the blood was coming from.

Skye didn't know what to say. But the wolf on this photo has same features on what she saw on the woods. But somehow, she had a feeling that it's a different one.

"It's a northern wolf."
