The wind whistled in my ears as I ran. The thump of my paws seemed to be the only thing that kept me from breaking down.

What's wrong Kat?

Another One!? that's the third time this week

It'll be okay Kat!

The voices collided in my head, I would promise that I wasn't insane but...I couldn't be sure I wasn't lying. The nightmares had come again, flashing images of blood everywhere, splattered against my pure white fur, his face contorted in horror as he seemed to realize what had happened.

I howled

Kat I know your hurting but...

Its been 3 months!

It's not your fault

More voices, all familiar. They belonged to my Streak, consisting of Jeremy, Kyle, and Liam. Their worried voice echoed all around me and I began racing even faster. They flanked me.

I dug my claws into the earth

Why!?why did I have to do that!? my own flesh and blood, my father for the love of god! the man who raised me, fed me, cared for me all my life, is dead because of me. I killed him. Because I couldn't control my temper my father was dead.

And it was all my fault

More voices twisted in my head and with that I collapsed

I gave up

As blackness overtook my vision, my huge body slumped agains the forest floor, the only thing I could think of was the crimson stains against my fur.

My tan hands carelessly shove the small amount of clothes I have into an average sized carry on. I guess I should explain my situation now shouldn't I?

My name is Katrina Dobmeir and I am a shapeshifter, I live in the small town of Lakewood California, and I can change into the shape of a White Bengal Tiger. Three months ago I found out about my true heritage and one day when my father and I were fighting, I killed him.

Not on purpose, nothing that tragic can ever be planned

I let my temper get the better of me and I was to close, before I knew it my sharp claws were digging in as I phased.

Streak, another word you'll often hear me use. My streak is basically my pack, I am the alpha, while Jeremy is the Omega, Kyle is the Sub Beta, and Liam is my beta. We all are shapeshifters, to be more precise we all can shift into White Bengal Tigers.

My hands gripped tightly on the strap. My streak had decided that after 3 months straight of nightmares and tears that they were fed up, they are now forcing me to move with them. They told me to pick anywhere, anywhere at all. I picked La Push Washington.

It was where he was

I hadn't seen him since I was in Junior High and he was my first love, he broke my heart millions of times, went out with me for a dare, and never once truly dated me. Nonetheless I loved him, and even to this day he holds a fragment of my heart and I can't resist the urge to see him again.

Jacob

"C'mon you can't say you aren't happy Kat! You love places like this, small, forests,beaches!" Liam grinned ear to ear as he leaned against the door of the car. He's right. I had missed this place, the salty air and warm euphoria of La Push, the rain of Forks, I'd be lying if I said I didn't.

"Yeah..."

A small smile threatened to curve up on my lips

I didn't like that, it almost dropped Immediately. I don't understand how I do that, how I'm able to even somewhat smile knowing what I did. My eyes drooped with my mood.

The polyester of the car seat rubbed against my bare arm, I was wearing the only clothes I had that didn't already have memories. The only outfit I could wear without having any regrets, it was brand new.

Sadly I don't have very much money with dad gone, so I can't afford to buy very much new clothes.

It was a lace short sleeved baby blue shirt and a pair of simple white skinny jeans. Ever since the funeral I couldn't stand the color of black, the way it seemed to smother me as everyone stood around with somber looks on their faces.

"I love this song!" Jeremy smiled childishly and shouted as Neon Tree's came on. I blocked it out. The white blue waves splashing against the sand, sea foam bubbling. The first beach, god so memories there...

They didn't exactly make me sad or anything, it simply brought back memories that gave me a...almost vintage feeling I guess? it was hard to describe.

Not good not bad

My laughter echoed all around me as I smiled softly at Jacob, his tan skin and long sleek black hair shone in the setting sun. People surrounded us as music boomed. We were at a party on the first beach, me and Jacob had been dating for almost a year now and I swear it was love.

Everything about him simply made tingly, his beautiful grin, and hearty chuckle, ugh god! His chuckle! it made this stupid grin light up my face.

His body slid against mine as we danced, more of he danced and I moved around to the beat awkwardly.

Suddenly everyone stopped

"EVERYBODY LISTEN UP! WE GOT OURSELVES AN ANNOUNCEMENT!"

Two of Jacob's friends Paul and Quil climbed on top of the stage and grabbed hold of the microphone, cutting the music

"See here our Jakey boy has been dating little Kat for about a year now" my cheeks blushed crimson at the comment and I buried my face in Jake's moss green colored hoodie, it smelled that woodsy scent that made everything feel fuzzy.

"Well here ya go Jake" Suddenly I was pushed out of Jake's arms and he reached out, catching a large wad of cash. It had been thrown obviously by Paul and Quil.

"You proved us wrong, it seems you could get little Kat out of her shell long enough to make her think your relationship actually meant something"

The crowd was absolutely silent

"What are they talking about Jake?" I questioned, my brow furrowed. I didn't understand, why did Jake need money?
"Gullible Kitty Kat, it was a bet!"

Their laughter echoed all around me as Jake smirked grimly and I backed away from him.

"KAT!"

I shook as I was brought abruptly back to reality. The boys stared at me worriedly with understanding in their eyes, they were used to these little flashbacks.

"Another one about your dad?" Jeremy frowned deeply and placed his hand on my shoulder, his dad too had died. Though his dad died about a week after he was born, he never even got a chance to really get to know him.

"Not this time it seems" I nibbled on my lip as everyone shared a surprised look

As soon as the car came to a stop I leapt out the door running straight for the woods, they knew. They were my streak, we were connected; they knew when not to follow.

The cleavage of the trees covered me and soon I shed my clothes and burst. Fur stretched out of my pigments and my hands became gnarled, forming claws. As soon as my back had broke and retook its new shape I was fully in my form. My tail lazily swung back and forth.

Phasing always hurt me, I don't know if it was because I was the first of my streak or if it was because I was the Alpha. Whatever the reason was it had just always been like this, and the more I phased the more I loved the feeling.

My paws thumped against the moss layered earth and I took off into a steady run, dodging the trees as though it were as easy as breathing. Before I knew it I stood peeking out of the woods, my head tilted, I seemed to be on a cliff that overlooked the First Beach. Despite my instincts I took a few steps closer to the ledge, and purred as I stared down at the deep blue waves.

God did they look tempting, though I don't believe that any of the humans planning on happily tanning on the beach would be rather excited to see a lion in the water. I would have to come back as soon I had the chance.

As I turned to leave I froze, catching the eyes.

His eyes

The chocolate pools of warmth that I had grown oh so used to during my stay here

but Instead of seeing the Jacob I knew, I was met with a russet colored wolf.

With Jake's eyes

What the fuck?
