Hey, all! So this is a companion fic for my piece, Starlight. This is basically Liz and Luxe meeting Em and Bella (and what lead up to it!) from Luxe's POV. Hope you like!
I've always been a very perceptive person, but one thing in particular changed my life. It was in 2065 that it all began.
I was walking along the stream behind my house when my cousin, Liz, came up behind me. She was singing quietly and dancing around. I rolled my eyes and turned around, locking eyes with her. She had the most exquisite green eyes, whilst mine were a deep violet color. Her pink lips pulled into a smile and Liz practically sang, "They're about to take off! I've never been to Mexico! How do you think it will be?"
I shrugged, walking back through the backyard towards the cottage with Liz. She pushed me again and I mumbled, "Probably hot and sandy. How should I know?"
That shut her up. Liz pissed me off sometimes, but I loved her like a sister. We piled into the station wagon and, in a few hours, we were on a plane headed to Tijuana.
OoOoOoOoO
We were in Tijuana three days when I suddenly began getting odd feelings. My usually low temper was very high. Liz seemed to feel the same way as I did. She'd snap at people for no reason, as would I. Eventually, we went for a walk and I got mad for some reason that I don't remember. Then, suddenly, I wasn't a human anymore and neither was Liz. Where she was standing was this huge red wolf. The wolf was staring at me, vibrant minty eyes tight with fear. I tried to speak, but it came out as a strange grunting noise. Almost like a bear... A quiet, familiar voice whispered in my mind, "Luxe...?"
I locked eyes with the wolf. "Liz? Is that you? The wolf thing?"
The wolf's head bobbled up and down and then my cousin's voice countered, "Are you the freaky bear-thingie?"
I rolled my eyes and said, "Obviously."
"What do we do?" Liz howled (pun intended) in my mind.
I shrugged and replied, "We really can't go back to our family."
Liz growled. I continued, "I have this feeling that we need to go north. Like to Texas. Something's waiting for us there. I can feel it."
Liz mumbled, "Okay, let's go."
I was glad my cousin had so much faith in me, when I had so little in myself. I used my internal compass to pinpoint north and began running. Liz loped along beside me. I didn't know where we were going, just to head to Texas. So I lead my sister to Texas.
OoOoOoOoO
It took up a couple of days to get to Texas, and then I took Liz to an area I felt we needed to be in. We had turns keeping watch and it was my shift when I heard something trotting through the woods. I nudged Liz awake and we ran towards the noise. We got there, and a huge white wolf with gentle golden eyes was staring at us. I heard a wordless squeak in its mind and its thoughts, "Ohmigod! Ohmigod! I should've brought Em when she offered! Ohmigod!"
I thought, "Wait! We're not going to hurt you. I'm Luxe and that's my sister Elizabeth, but I call her Liz. We just became these... these things a few days back. We need help. I felt like the two of us needed to come here, and here we are. Can you help?"
She thought for a moment then replied, "Okay. You two can come with me. I'm Bella. You'll meet Emalie—but call her Em—when we get back to the house."
Liz thought, "Ten-four, good buddy."
Bella snorted and we were off.
It was the beginning of the rest of our lives.
Enjoy, R&R! Sorry it's short, but it's just a companion piece.
