Half Breed
A/N: Italics= Maura's demon half talking to her
The air was cold as the clear night sky set over Boston. The gentleness of the night was surprising. Beacon Hill was a quiet space tonight. The moon was dark for it was anew. The night was peaceful, inviting, and calm.
That's true for all except Maura Isles. She was alone tonight as Angela was out and she asked Jane and Cailin to leave for tonight. She lied telling them she was expecting a guest and Jane took it as a chance to bond with Cailin. The elegant, intelligent ME of Boston found herself handcuffed to the bed, just as she had been every night of the new moon. She chained herself even though she knew it did no good. It gave her hope that she would be able to control it this time.
But as the first wave of pain began her hope was killed. Maura whimpered as her teeth grew sharper into pointed fangs that would be used later. She thrashed as the bones of her body cracked and elongated. Her elegant nails turning into vicious claws, her strong yet feminine hand morphing into a paw.
Her face elongated and her ears moved to the top of her head, they became pointed as she would use them later. Her nose transformed into a snout that was a thousand times more sensitive than before. With a final scream that turned into a howl the transformation was done.
Maura removed the handcuffs and set them down. She was still able to stand on two feet for now but not for long. She jumped out the window she had left open in order to leave without causing any suspicion.
She then climbed the tree near her house and climbed onto the roof. She got on all fours and ran onto the next roof. She continued this until she ran into the heart of Boston unseen by the humans below.
Maura was perched atop the roof of a lesbian bar. The loud music was hurting her sensitive ears but she knew this spot would have the best food. She looked into the ally below and saw a tall, blonde, sexy woman walk out. The woman stumbled a little but Maura didn't smell lots of alcohol on the woman. She licked her lips. This woman was perfect. The woman was walking to her car and Maura jumped to the next roof to follow her.
Maura prepared for the strike. Her fangs and claws extended and she kept low on the roof. She knew which spot to attack to make it as painless as possible. She hated herself for resorting to this but she had no choice. Once the other half possessed her she couldn't fight it. She had to feed to keep the balance between her human half and her demon heart. She closed her eyes and pushed away the reality of what she was doing.
The woman turned around to open the car and Maura pounced. Her fangs pierced the woman's neck and her claws held her down. The woman started to scream when Maura bit harder snapping her neck. Maura's bite finally let up and she dropped the woman. The urge to feed right there was tempting but she didn't want anyone to see the monster she really was. She threw the woman on her back and ran into the woods.
The woods outside Boston were quiet as Maura carried the woman to the center. The smell of blood making her hungry. She set the woman down and saw just how violent she was. The woman bled out from the bite mark and Maura tore a large piece out. The woman didn't have to feel that though for Maura broke her neck quickly. She sighed and saw the woman's face how beautiful she looked and how scared she must have been when Maura attacked her. Her eyes were still open and Maura tried to close them with her paw.
What are you waiting for? A lower pitched voice spoke.
I can't admire my prey? Maura responded back.
No we can't. The voice responded. Maura cringed as the demon instinct was talking to her.
There's no we. Maura growled in a low voice. The demon laughed at her.
Yes there is. I am a part of you as you are a part of me.
Shut the fuck up! Maura threaten.
You know how to make me. The voice challenged. Go on human, make me shut up.
Maura sighed and closed her eyes to regain her composure. She then bit into the woman feeling and hearing the crunch of bones. She tried to fight it one more time but as the flesh and blood met her tongue she was powerless to stop the demon part and fed on the poor woman.
Maura had finished feeding and saw the remains of the woman. It was mostly bones but she knew she had to dispose of them. She sobbed quietly and thought I'm sorry. She carried the bones, in a bag cause she was still in wolf form, to a chemical plant and put them in acid, destroying all evidence.
She ran home on the roofs as the sun began to rise. The wolf form would only last a few more minutes. Maura climbed in through the same window she left from and went in front of a mirror, the wolf appearance was retreating but decided to "talk" before Maura returned to human form.
Don't get caught up in your emotions human.
How can I not? I was human before that night. It's only right I mourn the life I took.
You were human but remember what those men did to you. You're stronger now, part demon. Although not the strongest you are above these vial beings, these lowlifes that cause so much destruction.
Fuck you. Not all humans are bad.
That's because they don't know. If she knew you were a half demon how would your precious Jane react?
I'll never hurt Jane. I'll control myself and control you.
You keep telling yourself that human. The voice faded. As Maura began to turn back to human form. She knew that the others were most likely back and tried to control as much screaming as she could. Her fangs and claws retracted. Her ears returned to normal. Her nose returned to her face and lost its sensitivity. Her frame became small and feminine once again and her spine got smaller. Her hands elongated and her fingers separated. She collapsed as the demon left no evidence.
She stood and saw the blood on her hands and her mouth. She washed her hands and rinsed out her mouth with some whiskey. She went back to bed trying to get a little sleep. As she lay there she thought about what she was.
Maura Isles- An only child who was adopted by a rich family. Who had a lonely childhood and was social awkward. Her real mother was a doctor and her father was a mob boss. Her sister Cailin was also training to be a doctor. She was a ME at Boston PD. He best friend was a homicide detective named Jane Rizzoli whose family "adopted" her.
It wouldn't seem like a bad life except that she was also a werewolf, a half-breed. Belonging neither in the world of demons or the world of humans. She was neither here nor there. She was used to not belonging but this was something she could never share with anyone. She was forced to give up her old life that night. A life she would give anything for now.
Humans don't know and it's better that way. She would struggle alone and not bring anyone into it. She would take life one day at a time and would silence the demon when she could. For now the beast was calm. She could relax for now until the next new moon.
