Loving the Wolf #LovingtheWolf Chapter One: “Mom, I’m going out, I’ll be back later.” I barked more than said. Immediately I heard a low growl from behind me. I knew it was my father, because I felt my alpha’s power flow over me. “Where do you think you’re going, Billy? You’re still in trouble for staying out all night with that girl!” dad growled out. “Dad, Jessica was a friend. She’s not my mate; I would never do anything to anyone other than my mate. Even then I probably won’t, because I’m too young. My wolf wouldn’t let me do anything with anyone but my mate, and you of all people should know that dad.” I said, feeling my alpha’s power fade a little. “Good”, I thought “I’m making his worries fade. Maybe I can get out now.” “Where are you going? You’re still grounded for staying out all night without even giving us a call.” dad said more humanly, now. “I’m sorry dad; I didn’t mean to worry you. I’m going jogging. My wolf wants out, and I want exercise. Can I go?” I asked politely, knowing that I’m not only speaking to my father, but my alpha, and if he says no, he means no. “Yes, go. I expect you to be back within an hour, if not, your mother and I are coming after you.” Dad ordered. “Thank you, alpha.” I said escaping his power. Jogging always helps me get my head straight. I thought as I ran for the forest. “I remember when I first learned about my heritage.” I said out loud, drifting to the memory on autopilot, jogging through the forest. “I’m a what?!” I shouted at those crazy people sitting across from me. “Billy, you’re a Canis Lupus. Come on, doesn’t it at least make some sense? When you get too emotional you started getting hot, like a fever.” Dad said “Yeah, that is weird, but a werewolf? You guys are just trying to freak me out. It’s not going to work.” I said. “What about when you were in trouble, and when I was near to you, you’d stop and freeze, and obey me without words? That’s my power, as alpha of the pure breed Grey Wolves. You’re the heir to the pack. To all the animal packs. The sooner you realize this, the easier it will be when you get your markings. Your wolf will become restless too, and he’ll make more appearances in your daily #life. He’ll want out. You can accept this now, or when you have physical proof.” As if on cue I started sweating. “See, look what you’re doing: giving me another fever. Well I’m freaked out, so you can stop with the story.” I begged. “Let’s go outside, where we can give you physical proof.” Mom said, exchanging looks with dad. “Okay, fine, whatever.” I said walking towards the door. The heat increased greatly as I walked outside. Gradually as I stepped off the porch it got hotter and hotter. I turned around waiting for my parents. They stood there a moment, as if preparing me for something. Then there was a flash of light, and where my parents stood, two great wolves stood instead. My feverish temperature increased like the blinding sun, and the next thing I know, I’m enclosed in a baby blue light. It was beautiful. It was nothing like the light that surrounded my parents. That light was white. As the light lifted I could tell I was on all fours. “What ju--” I cut myself off as I noticed my voice. It’s so deep, and throaty, I thought. My mom then trotted to me and nuzzled me. “Honey, we tried to explain before it happened to you. You didn’t believe us.” Mom started “We don’t blame you, though. We know it’s a hard thing to accept.” My dad finished for mom. “Tata!” I cried. I haven’t called my father that in years. It used to comfort me when I was young. I sprinted to my father, to get the reassurance I needed. My mother and father began to teach me all I needed to know about my wolf, and the marks I have. Later that year, I had a talk with my father about mating. He told me that each wolf only has one mate. He also told me about the animal packs, and each animal pack has sub-packs, with different subspecies of that animal. He told me that the wolf pack is the highest animal pack, and the highest wolf pack is the Grey Wolf pack, ours. As everything came back in view, I noticed I was running through the forest. As the blue light embraced me (which for some reason is brighter now, more than the first time I changed) I kept running, and then fell on all fours, and sprinted after an elk. I’ll have to ask my parents about the light later. I thought.

Another Story? After my mothers wedding I have time to write more. Now that I do, I'm thinking about writing another story. I'm still going to write "The Journey" but I think I'm going to write two at once. My ranking has gone down because I'm not active enough and I need to change that. So, I'm going to be writing another story. Thanks!

The Journey #TheJourney Chapter Twenty Five: Showing the Guys. The guys stood there dumbfounded after I showed them who was in the crystal ball. This room was made in cobble stone, cobblestone floors and walls. It was made to look like a dungeon, apparently. In the middle of this cobblestone room was a wooden table with several wooden chairs around it. In front of the table was a podium. In the middle of the table was the crystal ball. The crystal ball didn’t look like the plasma balls, from old age. They looked like a simple ball made of glass, not plastic. I suppose you would have seen ceramic things inside this glass ball that would have made it a ceramic art piece. “Isn’t she supposed to be . . . ?” Randy paused, “Well, y’know, dead?” He finished. “Hey! Don’t talk about me as if I’m not right in front of you! I will break out of here and whip you, boy!” she said and started cackling. Randy made an involuntary face and walked back a little. “She uh . . . She can’t do that can she?” Randy whispered to Hailey. “It would cause her spirit to go back to heaven, but I’m sure she could get to you and teach you a thing or two before so.” Hailey chuckled back to him. “She is dead. The person, or rather spirit, you see inside that crystal ball is Emilia’s spirit.” I said. “Emilia is here to . . .” Hailey paused, “You know what, Emilia you can speak for yourself.” Hailey finished. “It’s about time someone recognized that I can speak for myself!” Emilia beamed. “I did die. I am dead. I trapped my soul into this crystal ball because I knew Kayla would find me and show the rest of the people. These hallways lead to a secret entrance to every single room. I forced my soul into this crystal ball so I could help you. I am your spirit guide.” Emilia paused, waiting for any questions or objections. The room was silent. “Before I died, before you met your soul mates I was the only person with powers. Now as a spirit I have powers. I can get by with this and Hailey and Kayla’s prophecy stating that they’re the only people with powers because I am not a person. I am a spirit.” She said. “Now, Hailey and Kayla wanted me to tell you something about them.” She paused letting them take that in. Billy looked at me and Randy looked at Hailey. “Kayla, what’s wrong? Why would you have to find some spirit to tell me something?” Billy asked. “Just let her speak, she’ll tell you and then you’ll understand.” I said to both Billy and Randy. “You need to know that everything that happens is supposed to happen. Everything is a part of their prophecy.” Emilia paused, yet again. “Go on with it!” Randy said impatiently. “Kayla and Hailey were in that ‘accident’ that Ventra was in. Ventra was pushed up against a tree and knocked out. She cracked a rib and had a few minor injuries. However, what put Ventra in the hospital was no accident. Kayla and Hailey were attacked too. Their attacker was a Shifter.” Emilia said. When the guys turned to look at Hailey and me, we were in our shifted forms. “Holy crown!” Randy shouted. “Where’d the girls go? Are they safe?” Billy asked backing up from the animals. I whined at the fact that Billy didn’t know it was me. I lowered my head and looked up to him with my eyes and whined. “Kayla?” Billy asked. “Do you realize that you’re a puma right now?” Billy asked. I slowly walked up to him and rubbed up on his leg like a house cat would, then I purred. Hailey had Randy pinned down and forced him to accept reality. “Hailey, is that really you?” Randy asked. She put a goofy grin on her face and licked his entire face with her big grizzly tongue. “I suppose so. Knowing you, you’d be a sexy grizzly beast.” Randy said. At that Hailey lunged back and fell on her back and kicked her legs up and started making noises like she was laughing. After I watched that scene I crawled under Billy’s legs and stood up to make him sit on me so I could move and give him rides. “Heheheh. You can carry my weight.” Billy said. We spent hours like that, playing around in our forms.

The Journey #TheJourney Chapter Twenty Four: Taking the Guys to Emilia I woke up earlier in the morning to make breakfast. I got up and got a shower and put on comfortable clothes and walked into the kitchen. “Oh, good morning ma’am, I hope you don’t mind me making breakfast for you and the others.” A kitchen server said. “I don’t mind at all. I actually forgot that we have people to do stuff for us.” I chuckled. “What’s your name, so I know what to address you by?” I asked. “You can address me as anything, your highness.” She said. “Oh, please, you can call me Kayla. Might I have your name?” I asked again. “It’s Angie, but you can call me Ann. I mean, if you wish.” Ann said. “Thank you, Ann. Will you be our constant kitchen server, or are there others?” I asked. “I’m your full time server. We have another kitchen server however, that helps me. He couldn’t make it today, but his name is Andre, he’s my husband.” She said. “That’s cute; Angie and Andre, Ann and An, how adorable.” I said. “Breakfast will be served in an hour or so, I’ll inform you over the intercom. Which room might you be in?” She asked. “You can try the closets, slide room, or library. If I’m not in those rooms then I’ll be in for breakfast before, or soon after it’s done.” I said politely. I headed over to the closets, the clothes closet is first. “There is so much to chose from, such adorable clothes.” I said to myself. I looked around the room until something caught my eye. “Oh! Oh! It’s adorable!” I said and walked over to it. It was a very bold blue; it was short and in a wrap around style. It was the kind of dress that accented all of the good of a person’s body. It stopped at about mid thigh. I grabbed it and went into the back room of the closet and put it on. “Amazing, this is beautiful.” I said. I walked to the shoe closet that was connected to this one. “Its time to find some amazing shoes.” I squealed. I’m not usually like this, but dress up once in awhile is fun. I put on some new black heals. “Gorgeous!” I yipped and all but skipped along to the accessories closet. I put on a tight; thick, cotton, dark blue necklace that held a large white diamond. You could say it was almost like a choker. I also got blue and black bangles, and white dangling ear rings with blue sapphires. I head down to the slide room. “It’s going to be a little more challenging sliding with a dress, but I’ll make it work.” I thought to myself. As I stepped in the door I saw Hailey, wearing the same dress as I am, with blue heels, a blue sapphire necklace, and diamond ear rings. “We have the same style, haha.” I said to Hailey. Hailey jumped a mile high and accidentally transformed. “Hailey calm down, you don’t want anyone to see you like this!” I said. She calmed down and shifted back. “What animal was I, anyway?” She asked. “You were a bear.” I said. “What kind of bear?” She asked again. “A grizzly bear!” I said. “Oh, so I’m the sexy beast kind of bear.” She said and laughed. “What the shit Hailey, hahahahah!” I laughed. “Breakfast is ready, Ma’am.” I heard Ann say over the intercom. “Thank you, Ann. I’ll be there in a few minutes.” I said over intercom to the kitchen. “Who was that?” Hailey asked. “That’s Angie, she likes to be called Ann. Breakfast is ready, let’s go see if the guys are up for breakfast and if not lets go wake them up.” I said. After breakfast I showed the guys the abyss. “Where’s the light switch?” Randy asked. “What makes you think there’s a light switch?” I asked. “Well, the fact that it’s a dark hidden room, you should look for a light.” Billy said. They found the light switch and we all gasped. “It really was designed to keep people out.” I thought to Hailey. “So do you want us to cross this room?” Randy asked. “Yeah, if you think you can. You don’t have to if you’re scared.” I challenged. I secretly hoped they’d back down. “Nope, we’ll do this, right, Billy?” Randy said. “Yep, can you imagine me scared? Pff.” Billy said. We stood there and watched as they progressed to the other side. They were ducking under the axes, jumping over logs, missing the trip wires. When they finally got to the other side they looked back at us. “Are you girls coming, or what?” Billy asked “Well be there in a second.” I said walking out of the room. I walked to my room with Hailey following me. I walked down the hallway to the center room with the pathways. We walked down the hall to the catacombs and crossed them. We finally arrived to the place where the guys where. “How’d you get here?” Randy asked. “Follow us and we’ll show you.” Hailey said. We walked along the hallway until we came to the catacombs. I gracefully jumped and dodged every platform and metal log. When I got to the next side, I watched as Hailey did the same thing I did. “You guys coming, or what?” I said. “We’ll be over there in a few minutes.” Billy said jumping and ducking platforms and logs. “Ha! I told you!” Billy said stepping on the ledge of the side we were on. “I’m almost there.” Randy said in the middle of the catacombs. Eventually he made his way to the ledge. “Took ya’ll’s time didn’t ya?” I teased. “What are we doing?” Randy asked. “Follow me.” I said. We walked down to the circular hallway room. “Look in the crystal ball.” I suggested. “What the-” Randy said. “Who is she?” Billy asked. “She is Emilia.” I said

In Your Head Does anyone else feel as if . . . As if you were left alone with nothing but yourself . . . Your own mind, you'd realize your kind of crazy? Am I the only one that needs a distraction from oneself? Am I the only one? And also, you can't even know yourself because you're scared that trying to understand how your mind works would drive you insane? And you're scared of the person you might be? Is that just me? Am I alone? Out of everything, being alone is what I fear. Out of all the stupid things I fear, this is my Achilles heal.
