i was just wiping down the counter when i heard him. i could hear his distant thoughts. how distant? i had no clue. they just seemed... just out of touch.
"you missed a spot," he whispered into her ear. Holy.... jeeze i didn't know you were right behind me!
"sorry," his laugh was soft, aloof. "you know, you never told me your name. thats unkind. especially when i introduced myself to you."
"hah! maybe because you were planning on eating me. ever think of that?" i said with a hint of proudness.
"every minute since i met you," i almost didn't hear him. i'm almost sure he didn't even say it aloud. either way, that was unexpected.
"now, don't go falling for the unknown creature now," i said half sarcasm. he laughed aloofly again. i like it when he laughs. he started leading her outside just as she was going to say something else.
"teaching time," ever so casually he laid down on the grass in my front yard. i couldn't help but notice his shirt. it looked a little torn. "you going to stare at my pecks like that or are you going to lay down and learn something? some of us don't have the luxury of not knowing who we are."
"well i guess i don't have that luxury," as i sat down i gave a small oof. i landed on a sprinkler. of course. heh, you are more than a werewolf and yet you lack the qualities of something more. interesting. i glared at him. "sorry if i'm not some super being that can avoid every accident," i couldn't help the acidic tone. as if to rectify it i whispered,"sorry." and then in a thought directed to him, my name is kira by the way.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
kira... no wonder she seemed familiar. the hair, it must be the hair i recognized first. it's amazing how much she reminds me of her mother.
"MOTHER?! HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN ALIVE?!" uh oh. she's furious now. i tried to calm her down but she just kept backing off and ranting about mothers and oldness. there was something about me but the second it came out it dissapeared as fast as it came. HEY! maybe some thought screaming will get her attention. HEY!!!!!! KIRA!!!!!! DAMMIT!!!! I SAW A PICTURE OF YOUR MOTHER WHEN SHE WAS YOUNGER. THAT IS HOW I RECOGNIZED YOU!
she stopped. thank god. she would've woken up the neighbors if she kept going. the look she had was sad. wide eyed, i think i saw a tear.
"hey? you okay?" i didn't know what else to say. she just got up and started walking to the cemetary. this girl lives next to a freakin cemetary.
after walking for about five minutes we stopped by a willow tree. she laid down and stared at the tree. the wide-eyed girl was gone, the sensible and reasonable girl was back, all in five minutes. "i miss her," she whispered. i stared at her for a few minutes and then laid down next to her with my arm under her head for cusion.
"i understand," then and only then i let my guard down for her. i let her see my parents, our good times, and the bad. i looked down at her in time to see another tear, this time it dropped.
for a while, we just laid there, in a silent conversation involving slide shows of our parents. everything we remembered, shared together in a big ball of thoughts. it was nice. last time i got to do this with someone, it didn't last long. even now, it wasn't long enough when she got up.
"you said you wanted to teach me something," she was so business like sometimes. guess i'll have to change that. "you don't have to change anything about me. i just want to get this done and over with so i can go to bed."
there she was again with business.
close your eyes. i want you to project the image of a panther. the one we dreamed of last night. i want you to picture yourself morphing into the panther. anything? who says you can't hope?
no. nothing. nothing at a- "WOAH!" she was a wolf now. i don't get it. what is going on?//
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
oh my GOD! WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED? WHAT... WHAT AM I! I CAN'T SEE... wait no.. i can see. just.. i dont know what im seeing. JESUS! HELP ME! i could see alright. i could see him staring at me. not doing anything to help me.
if i transformed by thinking it i should transform back. so i did, i thought of myself, my human body. it wasn't long till i heard his sigh of relief.
"can we not do that again for a while?" i was too freaked to try this again. honestly, all i want to do is go to bed. my nice comfortable bed.
"sure, i like your idea better anyways. plus im getting hungry again." what does he eat? i've never asked that. and before i could, he read my mind again. without pitty. "blood. and we don't drink it like all those vampire stories. we... we. well, i don't know how to put it. we eat it. we it the heart. most times, we'll suck blood, for fun i mean."
great. and this is what i'm going to be doing. "actually, no. you see, i'm different that you. i've have my, what would you call it? powers? well, anyways, i've had my powers since i could remember. you, however, are just now tuning into them. i was born with this. i don't know what you were but you do seem to be living just fine off human food."
good. this means i wont be a heart eating human/wolf/panther. shapeshifter. what, what if i'm, if i'm a shapeshift- "NO, impossible! shapeshifters arent real!"
i had to laugh. psycotic, nothing left to do but laugh, laugh. "WEREwolf's aren't real. until yesterDAY!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
she had a point. but, shape shifters? no one has EVER seen a shape shifter before, and there are a lot of us out there. it can't be.
"i have to go. i'm sorry but can you see yourself home?" i have to go check with the chiefs. one last look, and that was it. i'd leave.
she looked scared. she needed comfort. comfort i know i can't give her, and yet yearn to give. what is she?
"i'm human. i'm a wolf. i'm, something. but im not some monster! yes, i can see myself home. jerk!" and with that, she left. every word stung me. to the point to where i couldn't stand it. i had to run.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
my heart ached. every minute without touching him in some way hurt me physically. i did the most natural thing and just ran. i passed home. i ran down to where we went last night. i turned back and saw him, he crossed my path, didn't even see me.
so i went home. i took a shower. went to sleep. and dreamed. again.
i was running in romania. i passed building so old, so beautiful and yet, i didn't even see them. i didn't stop to stare at their beauty. i was in a rush to get somewhere. but where? then, it was as if time had stopped. everyone stopped to stare at me as i changed. i changed right infront of them and heard every last thought that revolved around me. heard every gasp as if it were right beside my ear. but as i listened to their thoughts, it wasn't the fact that i was changing. it was what i was changing into. in a quick flash of light, i was no longer human, nor wolf, nor panther. i was eagle now. i soared through the air to my destination. away from the crowed. towards danger. danger waiting for me.
