Revelations

I could feel the Jack's fur under my hands. Then whooshing air as I was pulled across the room at lightning speed. Ephraim was holding me against his chest and making soothing noises. I pulled away from him so I could see what the hell was happening. I could hardly believe what was before my eyes. A huge whitey-grey wolf was racing towards the patio doors that led to the deserted beach. I looked up at Ephraim. He was the other member of our band- Indian revolution and Jack's brother. His hot hands cupped my distressed face and his warm, honest eyes met mine as he tried to reassure me.

"What, what the hell just happened? I mean I come round here and Jack turns into a...a...what the hell did he turn into!! What's going on E?" I could feel myself spiralling into hysteria with every breath I took. The more chance I had to think about what had happened the more it dawned on me how weird things were. Well weird doesn't really cover it but it was the only word my muddled brain could think of.

"I can't tell you, Caz. I am so sorry, I mean he would never have hurt you, I wouldn't have let him. He has more control then you think." I stared at him in disbelief. We were talking about Jack here, the same Jack who had refused to put his dog down choosing to sit up with him all night with him until he died. He wouldn't hurt a fly let alone me. I took a deep breath.

"What's going on, please" I looked at him with begging eyes. I watched as he tortured himself over whether or not to tell me. In the end he decided that he had no choice.

"You might want to sit down, this is kinda weird." Ephraim sat and patted the seat next to him.

"Know I thought this was a regular, normal thing." I replied and he smiled obviously taking my sarcasm as a sign that I was feeling better. I sat down next to him. We sat in silence for a while, avoiding eye contact at all cost. It scared me to think that this was how we would be from now on. He was already keeping things from me. Big things. He took a deep breath and powered ahead with his story.

"Our tribe has always had ways of protecting itself from enemy tribes. But then we can against the cold ones. Well you know them as vampires. They are known as the cold ones because their skin is a cold and hard as ice. They are impossibly strong and fast, superior to us in every way. Oh, and apparently they are really beautiful! They obliterated most of our tribe except ten of them, six boys and four girls. To escape from them they ran into the wilderness. There was a terrible snowstorm and they got lost. It was then there clan creature found them- the arctic fox. They were close to death and so the arctic fox did what it had been put on the earth to do, it protected them. Well it gave them its power's. Do you remember what Taylor used to tell us about how the fox had the power to shape shift into different forms and that was why it was known as being sneaky and sly? Well that was what he gave them- the power to shift into his form.

But seeing as they were human it made them bigger and stronger versions of him. And most importantly with this he gave them the power to defeat the cold ones and get back their lands. And that's exactly what they did. After they had defeated the cold ones they set about rebuilding their tribe. And ever since then all the eldest son's of their blood lines have the ability to shape shift but only when the tribe need's protection from the cold ones. That's it Caz." Ephraim looked at me tentatively awaiting my reply.

"I've herd that before." It had been bugging me all through his story. It hadn't been a secret, Uncle B had told me the legend a long time ago but I had thought it was an old wives' tale. We all had. Or at least that's what we had said to each other.

"Yeah, I know we all had. And we all thought they were a bunch if made-up nonsense."

"Jack's different isn't he? I mean what I saw just now wasn't an arctic fox by any stretch of the imagination." I thought of the huge wolf that had ran out of the door's, it was a wolf not a fox I was sure of it.

"Yeah, It's Jack he would have to be different. It's beca..."

"It's because Taylor was a Quileute Indian and his mom's from here."

"Yeah, down there they turn into wolves, Jack's cousin Jacob probably will. But not all tribes are shape shifter's just the special ones." He laughed his magical laugh and grinned at me.

"so you.."

"I turn into one as well. It's a good thing my Mom was already dead, the shook would have killed her for sure." We sat there for a moment in silence contemplating all the people we had lost in our lives. Ephraim's dad and mine were both allergic to commitment and he had been brought up by his mom until she died when he was eight. Jack's mom Anna and his dad Taylor had fostered him.

And then eight months, two weeks, three days and eighteen hours ago Taylor had died of a heart attack. That had almost killed everyone who knew him. Taylor was the best man you will ever meet, he would do anything for anyone. He had been like a dad to me and had been the manager of our band. But it killed Jack to lose his dad, they had been so close. It had been so hard to watch my best friend go through that.

"Do you remember the night Scotty died? That was the first night Jack changed." Ephraim said suddenly. I thought back to the night Jack's beloved Alsatian, Scotty had died, the week before Taylor. Scotty had been seventeen when he had died. Jack had had him all his life and when he had started going off his food Jack had taken him to the vet's with a heavy heart. They had said he was going to die soon and although he was in no pain it would be better to put him down. But Jack wanted his last memory to be of his home. So Jack, Ephraim, Taylor and me had stayed up all night stroking jack and singing to him until he died in the early hours of the morning. I and Ephraim had fallen asleep together and when we woke up we found Jack had disappeared. When he got back he said he had needed some air. "They told me what had happened after you left. To warn me that it was about to happen to me."

"HANG ON! You said you only change when your people need protecting from vampires. That means there are vampires here!" I shrieked looking round me wildly as if the beautiful, cold creatures would suddenly appear from no where.

"No, there are none here, yet. We also change when some our going to come. Our bodies can tell when they are going to come in the future. The near future. Caz, are you ok? Caz?!" Ephraim's concerned cries were the last things in herd before my world went dark.
