When Ryan sat down on the thickest root Katherine watched him. He then began to talk. No, she guessed that she hadn't answered his question. Truth was she didn't know what to say. She didn't know what she wanted. It really wasn't her decision anyway, it was more his than hers because it was his body that they were talking about. He then started talking about how this might not have been a good idea and that she should go.
"Ryan," Katherine said as she walked over to him and put her hand on his shoulder. "I meant in now way to make it sound like that. I just don't know. I think, though, that I might be more comfotable with you in wolf form. I don't care if you don't have a lot of money or if you did. I love you for you and not what you wear. If it was acceptable, I would even be okay with you walking around in the nude." Katherine chuckled as she said that. "I am not going anywhere. I am going to stay the night with you no matter what. There is no way that you are getting rid of me," Katherine said as she reached for his hands with her hand that was not on his shoulder and pulled them off of his face. She looked him in the eyes and smiled. "I love you Ryan."

Ryan felt her pull his hands away from his face, after he listened to her.He laughed slightly, letting his mind wonder a bit.Though the wolf more or less spoke for what needed to be said,as his eyes burned for sleep. Manda...forlǣtan hwā ēow doing. Fore ān nihtwacu I beĆ¾earf ēow.He heard her reply and wondered if Kate would hear Manda in his head.Though he didn't ask as he went to the tree and tapped it with his wand.It opened and he pulled out two king size pillows.He then placed his wand inside and closed the tree.He led Kate to the pillows and lay there with her. Tonight I am yours.I spoke with Manda and she is going to watch the grounds and forest.She knows I do this every night, I just want one night of peace.I will be asleep in a few minutes, though if you get cold just lean to me.I will keep you warm, as wolves are very hot blooded.He let his mind stop there as his mind drifted into darkness.Though yet it didn't stay dark for long.As he started to dream in a clear black and white picture. Sitting on the rock in the meadow he could hear all that surrounded him.He let his eyes close and his mind was taken back to the memory of a night he would never forget.He sat on the floor playing with a small toy of some kind.He then heard his mothers soft sweet voice sound in his ear."Emmet dear, it is time to hide.You know I will come back here and we will then leave.Remember I love you my dear little boy."She touched his head, and his eyes closed.He then felt only the light touch of others as his mind settled once again to black. His eyes opened and he searched once more of that lovely voice he knew to be his mother.He was only two and felt all alone in the meadow.He started to let out a small cry like a wolf, and felt the tears start to fall.He was sad that he didn't have his mother near to tell him she loved him and that she would always be near.Outside the dream Ryan eyes filled with tears as he viewed the dream.It felt so real and he held to Kate tighter.His fingers became claws as watched as well.Though as he felt Kate in his arms a new scene flashed in his mind. A full color memory of women singing a beautiful lullaby.He listened to the words understanding each word.His mind eased, as so did his hold on Kate. This repeated in his mind and dreams the whole night, as he wanted so bad to cling to at this the only memory of his mother.However its sweet sound came to an end, when he heard the early morning song of the wolves.He opened his eyes to the dark cold night still.He knew what time it was without looking at his watch.He also knew that more then liking Kate would not wake till later in the morning.He held her for a few minutes longer then slowly moved away.He started his morning as he did all others.He changed to a wolf and went to hunt. As he found the perfect deer, he attacked.He then let himself change to a man once more as he took out only the best parts of the meat.He carried it back to the tree and touched it with his finger.He laid the meat in some cloth he had set out for this purpose.He then took his cloths and got dressed into fresh clean cloths.He finished buttoning a few buttons on his white shirt which he wore over a Grey shirt, then put on a hat for just a look rather then anything else.He then picked up his wand and split the meat in half.He let one half cook while he brought out a few books, a self inking quill, an a notebook.He then took the meat on a plate separate from each other, and sat down to study.He waited and watched Kate out of the corner of his eye, though his mind on his work. (there is a link for the lullaby as I am using that video as his memory it will be explained further in the posts.)

Katherine's head filled with the words that Ryan was Telling Manda and she heard her rseponse. Then, as Ryan wondered if Katherinehad heard it she chuckled softly. Of course she coudl hear it. It was all thoughts. She could hear any thoughts. Though, when Ryan and Manda talked in Ryan's head it was a little different, but it was still a thought. Katherine then watched as Ryan tapped the tree and got out two large pillows then closed the tree. She walked over to where the pillows were, litening to Ryans thoughts.
As soon as Katherinr lay down next to Ryan she was fast asleep just as he was. Her mind soon filled with the same things that he was dreaming. There were only very few nights where she dreamed her own dreams. She was usually too close to another person so she dreamed what they did. Tonight she was close to Ryan and therefore she was in his dream. She watched as she saw a little boy playing on the floor with a toy. His mother came up to him and whispered in his ear. Katherine watched as the mother touched the boy's head and he closed his eyes.
Everything went black and the next thing she saw was a boy around two in the meadow. She watched as he let out a small cry and a tear fell from his eye. Katherine felt sadness in her own heart as she watched the poor little boy. The next thing that came into her mind was a beatiful lullaby that a bunch of women were singing. Katherine didn't quite understand the words, but it was still beautiful.
In the morning Katherine stayed asleep for some time. She soon awoke though and sat up, looking around her for Ryan. Her eyes soon found his and she smiled. She slowly got up and walked over to him, sitting next to him when she reached him. She yawned and layed her head against his shoulder as she looked down what he was working on.
"Morning," Katherine said with another yawn. "What are you studding?"

Ryan caught her eye as he saw she had woken up.A smile formed as he watched her come over to him and sit down."Morning, I hope you slept well.Must be different on the forest floor, rather then a bed."He looked back to his book he was reading."History of magic.In your sixth year they cover the medieval times.I really like it, it's fascinating.I feel connected somehow to it."His eyes went back to the book, though his mind wondered into think of the song that was in his dream."

"Yes, it is quite different," Katherine said as she yawned again. She had been comfortable enough that the slept through the night, but it wasn't the same as sleeping in a bed. "I am just a bit sore, but that will wear off in a little while. I'm not used to sleeping on such hard ground. Bed's are soft."
Katherine chuckled at that and smiled. She looked at Ryan for a moment then back to his book as he said that he was reading about the Medieval times. She had done many lessons on that in her old school. It was one of her favorite time periods. She loved that it was a time where wizards and witches didn' have to hide who they were. They could walk around the streets with their pet dragons and Muggles were okay with it.
"Ooh. I love that time," Katherine said and smiled. "I learned about it in my old school. I can't wait to learn more though."

Ryan glanced over at Kate and smiled slightly."I'm not sure I could stand a bed anymore.I have slept out here for a year now so I'm so used to it.Though for you...yea we will see when we get there."He laughed at that one, then looked at the plate of meat to his side."Are you hungry? We can go to the great hall if you want, or there is some deer meat right there."He pointed to the plate , and picked up one which was rare."Half of it is cooked, as I know your not keen on the idea of it raw."He put the piece of meat in his mouth and looked back to his book, this time writing down a few things on the open notebook to his other side.

Katherine simply nodded then looked over a the meat that Ryan was pointing to. She was really hungry and she didn't want to go back to the Great Hall. She wanted to stay here with him and spend more time with him. She had never eaten dear meat though. It would be a new experience. She was sure she would like it though.
"I'll just have the deer meat," Katherine said as she nodded and picked up the plate. She set it in her lap and took a peice of meat off of the plate. She stuck it in her mouth and chewed. It was really good. Katherine took another bit then her mind whet back to his dream, the lullaby, and the women.
"Hey, I was wondering," Katherine said as she looked over at him. "about that lullaby. I mean, when I sleep I rarely dream my own dreams. I usually pick up on someone else's. Last night I picked up on yours. What does it mean?" Katherine said, talking about the lullaby. "I mean, it was so pretty even through I didn't know what it meant."

Ryan laughed when she said she would only have the deer meat."It's all deer meat, just not all is cooked."He smirked and picked out a raw piece."He turned back to the book and chewed.Though at the mention of the lullaby he looked back to her.His face though showed no expression."You should know some words as it is middle English.The whole thing translates out to 'Ever since I could remember, I have known That children, by candle light, Have seen a shadow on the wall And have chased it all night through
Busily, they have tried With all their might, to catch it. And when they most Expect to catch it It shoots most quickly out of sight.
This shadow never shall be caught In any trap they lay. This shadow in the likeness, Of this world and yesterday.'"
He looked at her for a few more seconds then turned away."I haven't had that dream since I was five.I haven't had a dream in color since then either, well except when I'm a wolf."Although is eyes were on the book his mind was not.He sighed softly and put it down.He turned to Kate and took the last piece of raw meat."Can you tell which is my mother and which one was the beta?"He wasn't sure why he was asking, he just couldn't think of anything else to talk about.He could remember now slightly more then he had a few minutes ago, and it was nice to think about.

As Ryan explained what the lulaby meant Katherine took another bite of the deer meat. The lulaby was beautiful and it was even more beautiful in English. It had a wonderful meaning to it and it was absolutly amazing. Katherine had never heard something so beautiful before.
"Wow, that's beautiful," Katherine said as she looked at Ryan.
When he told her that he only drempt in color when he was a wolf Katherine smiled. That was an interesting bit of information. It must have been interesting to dream in color as a wolf, but black and white as a human. Were all werewolves like that? Did they all dream in color as a wolf and in black and white as a human? That would be a question Katherine would have to ask later.
"I wonder why you had the dream now then," she said softly as she started to think. She couldn't think of any logical reason why he would have the dream now. She then turned her attention to Ryan's next question. "Um...I am not sure. I couldn't really tell. Which one was which?" Katherine asked, interested.

Ryan sat there silent for a few minutes as though he was thinking.He was though not his mind that could be reached.Only soft low growls would be heard in his head."You remind me of her.She could read my thoughts as well.Like you she was one of those women you just loved being around."
"She was graceful, and even though she had dark hair she seemed like an angel.Your the same way, perfect, and an angel.I Love you Kate."His finger stroked her cheek as he spoke."I would kiss you, but I don't think you would like the taste of raw meat."He laughed and took down his hand.
His eyes however didn't leave hers."As far as which is my mother lets put it this way."He ran his hand through his hair and it changed full dark brown."I am able to change a few things of my appearance due to my older sister.She is the one that has wavy blond hair and was wearing the black dress."
"The beta is my second oldest sister.She was wearing the gold dress, she also has red hair.The other red head is the mate of one of my uncles.As for my mother if you can't tell by my hair she is the dark haired one that you see the most.The one is the black lacy dress."He shook his head and his hair changed back to the streaked blond he had before.
He got up and held up a finger to Kate.He stepped into the tree.He brushed his teeth, then took back his books and put them in the tree.He then stepped out and closed it.He smiled at her.His finger went back to her cheek.I love youHe then leaned over and kissed her.He pulled back and laughed.
"You taste like cooked meat.Though you know oddly I don't care.For you I would....I don't care."He went back to kissing her, his thoughts asked he question he wanted to know.Can I put my tongue in your mouth or is it still too fast for you?He would understand if it was, but he just really felt like he had known her all his life, and that so much time had already passed between them.
As he thought about the time, it had just seem to flown past.He didn't even know how many days or weeks or anything that they had been to together.He just excepted that they were together, and each moment was magical.

Katherine sat there as she listened to Ryan. She loved just sitting there and listening to him explain his life and family. It was all very interesting to her. She didn't have much that she could say about her own family. They were no where near as interesting as Ryan's. Her family was one of those stuffed shirt types that wanted to fit in and be perfect.
"I love you too Ryan," she said as she looked at him.
Katherine cocked her head to the side as she watched Ryan change his hair to a dark brown. She didn't know that he was able to do that. If he had changed his hair color what else was he able to change? Katherine shook her head at that thought for a moment as she listened to him explain his mother and two sisters. They were all enchantingly beautiful. Katherine's mind then went back to Ryan changing his hair.
She then watched as Ryan got up and brushed his teeth. When he came back and sat by her she smiled. She loved having him near. His hand stroked her cheek and Katherine felt like she wanted to melt into his arms. Just his simple touch made her forget anything that she might have wanted to ask. When he kissed her, it was gone for good, or at least she thought it was. As soon as he pulled away from her and asked a question about putting his tounge in her mouth the question she was going to ask popped back into her head.
"Um...I don't know...," Katherine said in a soft voice. "I don't think it is too fast anymore, but...oh. I don't know." Katherine shook her head then looked at Ryan. She had to phrase her question just right. "Hey Ryan. I was just wondering...Do you change anything else of your appearance?" she asked softly.

Ryan's listened carefully, though when she asked her question his heart stopped beating for a few minutes."Kate I can not answer that...I'm sorry.It's the one thing I just can't please understand."He hoped and prayed she would.He could feel the pain of the idea in his chest.He was also glad that his mind would not think about it much so she wouldn't find out about it that way.He looked at her for a moment with sad eyes.He then touched her hair."Can I try, and if it is to fast or what not let me know k."He sat there for a few minutes wondering if she would would or if she would press of his appearance further.Though he found him self leaning in and kissing her again.He slowly parted her lips, and started to play with her tongue, feeling as though nothing was better then this in the world.

Katherine nodded solemly as Ryan told her that he couldn't answer her question. She understood, but part of her wanted to really know. What could be so bad that he couldn't tell her the answer to that? Nothing could be that horrible, right? Katherine was going to ask again, but she stopped herself as Ryan asked her if he could try. She bit her lips as she looked at him. His hand on her hair was making her dizzy in the head and it was hard for her to say no.
"Yes," came out in a soft whisper.
Her mouth was then consumed in Ryan's kiss alsmost instantly. Her lips were parted and Katherine fely his tounge slide into her mouth. Like before, she thought this was a little weird, but she tried not to show it. She just continued to kiss him, feeling his toung rubbing against hers. She didn't exactly know what to do with her own tounge, but she guessed that it really didn't matter. All that mattered was that she was here with Ryan.
Soon, Katherine didn't know how long they had been kissing for, the question she asked popped into her head again. Katherine slowly pulled back from their kiss and looked down at the ground for just a moment. Her head slowly came up and her eyes settled on Ryan. That small part of her really wanted to know the answer to her question, but she didn't want to ask it again.

Ryan didn't know either as to how long they kissed,he was loving it way to much.Though as she pulled away he looked in her eyes.He was lost for words a the moment, and trying to think of something to say.He wasn't sure he liked the silence.He leaned in once more and just smelled her hair and neck.He was tempted to kiss her neck, and more.Though he was not sure if she would let him.He soon backed away and looked at her.He was still touching her hair and thinking of something more to say when he heard Manda's voice in his head.
"Hey Ryan, I found out some things about werewolves, well more your line.If you want to hear them now I am in the library."She cut off then, without anything more to say.
Ryan looked at Kate and smiled."You want to know more about werewolves, I kinda do.If you want..If not we can stay here for a bit longer."He sat there looking at her for a few minutes.He didn't know how, but he seemed to know that she would want to.Maybe it was because he was becoming so close to her or at least thats how it felt.He got up and hled out his hands.As soon as she took them he took off and was soon in the library and walking over to Manda.He smiled at her and nodded slightly.

Manda had been pouring over the book trying to understand it ever since she had gotten a chance.She would be father if it wasn't for the fact that it was written in middle English and took her longer to figure out what they were saying.She was glad though she could think through Ryan who knew it, though this still did take longer, as she had to sort though his head, and there were places of which she couldn't seem to reach.
When she had figured out something though she let him know.She knew he would want to know.As soon as she saw them enter the libray she smiled at them both."Congratulations, on making it more.Boyfriend and Girlfriend now, and a date sounds fun."She smiled as she watched Ryan hold Kate in his arms.However she opened the book and flipped to the page which held a bit of the information she had figured out.
"Well first I know how werewolves all began.I knew you would want to know this."She paused and looked up.She saw Ryan hold up his right hand to tell her to stop.
"Why not you tell me at the next pack meeting.I know Teddy would be interested in this.I would also hate for you to have to repeat it more then once."
Manda nodded and went on."There is also something here about the Alpha male, which I wish to thank you for.See the Alpha can make the decision to make all the females of his pack mate with him if he so chooses, or he can choose to let them mate with anyone they want.So I more or less I thank you for letting me have that choice."She smiled at him as she saw him nod.She knew what he would say to it if he needed to.Which was that he was happy with Kate, and didn't even want to think of any other girl.
She looked back to the book and slowly closed it.She looked back to them her eyes wondering and slightly sad."The last thing I figured out for now is about the burden.You should tell Kate."She watched as Ryan's eyes changed to a wolfs and she could feel his heart stop for just a few seconds.
"You are not to think of that in anyway around Kate.I can't Manda...I can't"He looked down to the ground at the moment he saw Manda bow her head slightly knowing the command was from the Alpha part of him."
"Ryan she is your mate, she has the right to know.Besides she is already curious.It's not that bad Ryan, I know and I'm not going anywhere."
"It's not that bad Hugh? Do live with it every freakin day..no you don't.You have no true idea what it is like, and no book can tell you that.I will tell Kate though tonight.After all dates are suppose to be all about getting to know someone better right?I have allot to do if I am to get things done in time.I will pick you up...."He looked at Manda and she finished his thought for him.
"In the full length mirror in the girls dorm."She smiled she got the idea of what he had in mind when he thought of a musical.She heard his thoughts to Kate as he told her that a musical was the only clue she was getting.She nodded when he said that she would help her get ready.She watched him kiss her and smiled pleasantly.Then as he left she heard his thoughts and knew Kate would too.
"Remember Kate I love you...More then anything.You mean the world to me."With his fading thoughts he left the library.
