Innocence

~Chapter Five~

We rode towards the city but just as were near, Angel stopped the horse and took the leash from my hands. I felt odd how he had his as around me now as he drove the horse. He made the horse start galloping in another direction and I held onto it for dear life. Angel rode the horse with one hand on the leash and another one holding me securely to him. I was thankful but still felt awkward.

We rode towards an open area where a nice house was. From this part of Ludwig you could see an enormous river not too far. It's still on the mountain, so there was a nice sight. Not exactly of the town, but of the river.

The house was two stories tall. It had a nice front porch with a few bushes around. There was a driveway on the side big enough to fit two cars. The house was a nice beige color with brick red roofs. Glass windows with white trimmings as well. It was a nice house.

There was a small stable not far from it in the big space of land. There were a few trees around but it was pretty clear. Besides the stable was an enclosed area where another horse was grassing. This horse was the complete opposite of the one we were riding. Well, in a way. Because this horse was pitch black and that horse was white with brown and black pints. It's main had the same three colors and it was beautiful. Maybe smaller than this one we're riding, but it was beautiful..

Near the stables was some kind of greenhouse. There were lots of plants, for what I could see. I wonder why he has a green house if us hybrids are mainly carnivores... Well, at least in our wolf side.

The horse came to a stop in front of the house and Angel got off. He looked at me and I bit my lip. I think I need a book called Horses 101 because I have no idea how to deal with them...

"C'mon." He motioned to take my hand and I did. "Now move your leg carefully behind you..." I did and he held me by my hips. I blushed but ignored it and just focused on getting off the horse. "And jump off."

I did, he held me, and I felt my feet finally hit the ground. God, I almost kiss the ground I was stepping on. Jesus, I wonder if I'll have to get used to this...

"I'll be back. You can sit there on the porch." He said and I looked behind me to where he mentioned. I looked back to him but he was already leaving. He kept walking without glancing back. Well... okay.

I walked over to the porch to wait for him. Some nice white garden chairs were there with a matching table. I decided to sit there. This place gives me some kind of, I don't know, peaceful feeling. It's so quiet and calm.. You can see the wind blow a soft breeze over the trees and bushes. It isn't a dark place either, it's pretty well lit. There aren't many houses around. The closest house might be, at least, three miles away. But it's a nice place. At least during the day it is..

I was sitting happily on my chair, admiring the ambient around me, when I see Angel coming back. He was dusting his hands and clothes while he walked. Once he finished, he looked up at me. I smiled faintly and he smile back.

"Wanna come in?" He asked me and I shrugged. "I need to change from these clothes and, maybe, take a shower. Meantime, you can just sit and watch some tv or whatever."

I nodded and stood up. He opened his front door and held it for me to come in after him. I thanked him and he locked it behind me. I looked at him and he just shrugged.

The house was very nice. We were in the living room; the walls had a cream colored wallpaper with black thin vertical lines, the floors were oak hardwood floors, there was a set of cream colored sofas in the center with a nice dark brown coffee table, a red rug was underneath it. I didn't see any pictures on the walls or paintings. There was a fireplace by the end behind the couches while a tv plasma with a few game consoles was on the wall.
