( this takes place the morning after the dream and the nightmare)

Opening my eyes was such a chore after last nights horrible nightmares;: the hellish fires, the rape and death of my beloved and the vision of the evil scar wolf. as difficult as it was to open my eyes the world made sure i did; the gleaming sun shine bursting through my window and onto my face, the birds pag-awit there beautiful songs outside in the trees and a beautiful lobo lying in my kama and in my arms right susunod to me; her balahibo tickling my face in a way that made me shiver.

i looked around after struggling to open my weary eyes to see my mother looking right at me, with a fiery look in her eyes at me and crystal snuggled up in kama together. Mother did not say a word as crystal was still asleep. seeing the white stuff dried on the kama clothes mother got even angrier.

Me:(whispering) "mum i can explain........."

Mum:(whispering) "CAN YOU!!!"

My silence only made the moment madami awkward as I struggled to find the right words to tame my mothers fury.

Mum: WELL!?

I finally managed to find the right words. I would try to tell her why this is ok, why I pag-ibig Crystal and how a man and lobo relationship could work.

me: "yes i can, Crystal isn't like other wolves...she has...human qualities, she can talk, she is super intelligent and she can pag-ibig a human which is something most other
mga lobo cannot do!!
she can cook and laugh and she is....beautiful and I pag-ibig her too!!!"

Mum: "And who is this human that this human-wolf-thing loves then HMM!!!"

Me: "ME!! she loves me and i pag-ibig her and she will tell you herself when she wakes up!!"

a short silence fell over the room as my mum walked out of the room with a look that cut through me like a hot kutsilyo
through soft butter. As i looked over Crystal peacefully
sleeping i couldn't help but look up to god and hope that the nightmare i had the night before didn't become a grim possibility; i would do all i could so that Crystal would be ligtas forever more.

Walking downstairs i was dreading my mothers susunod words as i looked her again in the face but nothing could have prepared me for what happened next. As my foot hit the bottom step with a thud i heard my mums voice bellow out from the kitchen.

Mum: "sorry son" she sinabi in a sad tone.

Me: "it is ok mum it is just....you need to stop pagganap before you know the situation! Ok!"

The rest of the morning went off with out a hitch, peaceful
and quiet just like the moment I woke up. Crystal awoke remembering what she had seen the night before; me in a cold sweat screaming her name as I awoke suddenly from
that awful nightmare; she chose not to say anything because
she feared my reaction. She knew that there was a time and a place for everything and now was not the time to talk about nightmares as Crystal had a bigger problem. Crystal had ti appease and persuade my mohr that this relationship would work.Mother kept giving Crystal some very fiery looks as she walked down the stairs. Ignoring this crystal walked into the
front room to greet me on this sunny morning.

Crystal: "Morning lover how was your night, sa pamamagitan ng night I mean what happened before we went to sleep hehe"!

Me: "it was magical my love". I sinabi looking her in the eyes.

I did not utter a word about the nightmares for fears of making Crystal worry about my phsycological state. The moment was still amazing though, staring deep into her eyes. They say that the eyes are the windows to the soul; hers were a 12 inch thick, double bolted rieforced rareatanium security door with a combination I had to crack.

The rest of the morning consisted of a bit of tele, a lot of Metallica and finally a delishiois full ENGLISH breakfast consisting of: four rashers of bacon, two sausages, 3 sumira brown and a few hundred mushrooms before going on fanpop to chat with my pack. Alphawolfcurt seemed to be the only one on at that time so I chatted to my Australian bro.

Curt: "hey metal my budd"

Me: "hey pal how are ya?"

Curt: "ok, how is crystal?"

Me: "she is thoroughly satisfied XD"

Curt: "nice one."

Me: "how is Sarah and your child?"

Curt: "they are fine, Sarah has morning sickness and has a craving for chicken, apart from that the lump is getting bigger, won't be long now and I will have myself a child :D"

Me: "I am so pleased for you pal! :)"

The conversation was a fun one but as the hours passed I had to leave the conversation and come off the I-mac. I looked at Crystal taking a peaceful nap on the sopa and contemplated telling her about the nightmare and my worries...maybe she can put my mind at rest. Just as I felt the courage to tell her my metaphorical paranoia pops up right
infront of me: an ugly looking fellow about my size with the same metallica sando on as I. He started to tell me why I shouldn't tell her about my worries; taunting and insulting me in the process.

Paranoia: "what do you think you are doing! Your not going to tell her are you!? What are you gonna tell her-oh i found out i am a perv crystal, i had a dream you got raped and killed- you moron, you call yourself a Metalwolf, your hearts not made of gold; it is made of tinfoil. she will start worrying about your mental health, she will start worrying about what you have in mind to do to her and then in the end, just to rub salt into your wound she will leave you!"

My paranoia was a bastard, he would never leave me alone and the madami he appeared the less choice i had except to listen to him. But-like always-i had a counter against my paranoia and his name was confidence: a good looking chap
about my size with a metallica t-shirt on. he started to tell me why i should tell crystal whilst building up what paranoia had knocked down.

Confidence: uy KING!!! how are ya, you look great, is that a new hair cut? isn't he great everyone, isn't he fantastic, lobo with a puso of ginto and a look of steel. King, don't listen to this jerk, tell your beautiful wolf, she will understand how worried you are about her and that other wolf. she will pag-ibig you regardless just like i do king-hehe!!

both of them then disappeared as i got up to sit on the sofa with Crystal. Balancing what they told me tortured my mind; what was i to do? how can i tell Crystal without worrying her.

i finally decided to go with my confidence because i liked him better.

I walked slowly and nervously over to the sofa to where my
pag-ibig layed and decided to tell her out straight about the insidious nightmare.

Me: "Crystal my love? Can I tell you something?"

Crystal: "what is it darling?"

Me: "remember last night?"

Crystal: "oh yeah, how can I forget? Poor baby." She sinabi
holding my face with both paws. "what happened baby"!

Me: "I had a very.....frightening nightmare about....you."

She looked at me strangely, as if to say "it is ok and it was only a dream but why about me?"

Me: "you weren't the bad thing about the nightmare sweety.......it was what happened to you." I sinabi wondering how she would react.

Crystal: "metal. I want you to know that I am here for you no matter what. I pag-ibig you and nothing will change that. You shouldn't worry about telling me one silly nightmare!"

Those few words were just what my confidence was talking about. She would pag-ibig me no matter what and I pag-ibig her in the same way.

So I told her about the nightmare and why I woke up in a cold sweat screaming her name. I told her about the nice part first, cuddling in the hey, the little halik that created fireworks in my pants. I then began to tell her about the transformation from dream into nightmare; the burning fires licking at my feet and Crystals disappearance into the dark craggy cave and lastly I told her about the bit that I was dreading the most; the end of the nightmare; Crystal dead and raped on the floor underneath that scarred monster with her eyes staring me down and then the final bite that sent me back to reality.

Crystal stared at me bewildered and slightly scared.

Crystal: "why are you dreaming of him baby?"

Me: "I don't know, I just worry about you, what is the possibilty that he escapes and comes looking for you!? I will not let anything happen to you; remember that...ok!" I sinabi clutching her left paw.

Crystal: "listen Daniel, the chances of him escaping are minuscule. He couldn't get out if he wanted to."

Me: "I am just so scared that if he does he will try and find you and finish what he started. How can i protect you from the scum of the earth?"

Crystal: "Even if he did escape how will he find where we live? It is a grim but small possibilty. even if he did find where we lived i know that if we worked together it wouldn't be me that was dead on the floor; but him dead in reality and in our minds. Now if you will excuse me I am being called back to sleepy land hehe."

Me: "ok love. See ya when you wake up."

As confident as Crystal was I wish I could have sinabi the same for myself. The thoughts still ravaged my head. What if he did find her? What if he did escape? How would I protect her from the scum of the world? As real as they were I partly believed in crystals confidence just to reassure my self. These worries were small and incignificant possibilities. But small as they were they were still very much real and very grim possibilities indeed.
