Chapter 4
The week passed quickly and the only exciting thing happening being Metamorphosis class the first day Jessica was there. It was only interesting because Wizgiz found out about her transformation and asked her to show the class. So she did and Wizgiz copied her. She tried to talk to him and he didn't know what she was saying. She turned in her wolf form and laid down by her twin not doing anything but whining her ears flat against her head. Oh and also Griselda's class where they were learning fighting without their magic. Jessica had ended up turning into a wolf and biting her leg before letting go and inimitably running away hacking like she was going to throw up
Tecna had gotten the Wolf phones done and ready to take to Jasper. Tecna had also added a translator into a phone for in her human form. She had the one for the pack in her bag ready to go after finishing her breakfast consisting of all meats. "What did get you to run away like you were going to throw up when you bit Griselda?" Stella asked. "Because I was." Jessica shuddered in disgust. "Never doing that again." She vowed as she finished. "I got to go or I won't get to see my family before the moonlight howl. Have a good day, see you all after the full moon." Jessica said as she stood up. The others bidding her a good day and fun at the howl as she walked away.
"Ah Jessica. Remember morning after the full moon right after breakfast here so remember to eat because right after you're going to bed because I have a feeling this moonlight howl thing lasts all night. You have the next day off classes to sleep." Jessica nodded as Faragonda opened a portal and walked through.
She noticed that she walked out into the cave of her parents her mother was home. "Hey Mom. Faragonda let me come back for the moonlight howl up until after the full moon." Jessica said after she transformed into a wolf. "Hey honey, that was nice of her. How's school been?" She asked. "Good I get to reconnect with Bloom, I've made friends with the girls in my dorm, and are on top of most of my classes. Though Metamorphosis class is odd the teacher can transform into one of us but I tried talking to him he didn't understand me saying hi." Jessica said as she walked over to her bag. "One of my roommates comes from this really techy world and she made us a way to talk while I'm at school." Jessica said as she pulled the Wolf phone out of her bag and put it at the far wall of the cave before dialing Bloom's number.
"I'll show you by calling Bloom. I have to check in any way she wanted me to call to make sure I got here okay. "Hey Jess glad you're okay!" She heard Bloom say in Wolves language. "Yeah Bloom told you I would. Mom say hi to Bloom my twin." Jessica said turning her head toward Eve. "Hello Bloom I hear good things about you and that you and Jessica have reconnected." Eve said sitting next to Jessica. "Yeah I'm glad the phone works Tecna's been working day and night to finish just got it done last night." Bloom responded. "Oh you must thank her on behalf of the western pack and on my behalf I've been so worried." Eve said with a smile. "You can thank her yourself ma'am she's right here." Bloom said. "Hello?" Asked another voice Jessica recognized as Tecna. "Hey Tecna the phones work great." Jessica said to her friend. "I can tell. You getting the Wolves language okay over there?" She asked. "Yes Tecna we can understand you. I understand it's you I have to thank for giving us and Jessica a way to talk while she's at school?" Eve asked. "Yes I made the Wolf Phones but Jessica helped she actually designed the wolf phone that goes to the pack and I put together the one for whenever she's human." Tecna said. "Well Winston and I thank you, my husband would be here himself but he's preparing for the Moonlight howl tonight." Eve said. "Yes well we'll go so you can get ready for the howl yourselves. Goodbye." Tecna said. "See you girls after the full moon." Jessica said before she hung up.
"My number is easy to call just push this number and hold for a few seconds." Jessica said putting her paw on the 'one' button. Eve nodded and looked over to Lilly and Kate. "You girls should have said hello. We were talking to Jessica's friend and twin." Eve said. "Yeah mom we heard we walked in just after she set up the phone." Kate said slightly annoyed. "Kate why don't we take a walk before getting ready for the Moonlight howl tonight." Jessica suggested seeing her sister's stress.
"Yeah let's go." Kate said walking out of the cave Jessica not far behind. "What was eating you back there Kate?" Jessica asked as they got farther away from the den. "I have to unite the packs or there will be war and I have to meet Garth tonight." Kate said as she looked down. "I'm sorry Kate but look on the bright side. You don't have to worry about some horrible guy making you howl with him. Garth may just let you sit there and not howl if you don't want to." Jessica said looking at Kate.
Kate kicked a rock that was in front of her. It flew far away until there was a loud thump and a growl. Kate looked over to where the growl came from to apologize for hitting them until she saw a bear running toward them. Jessica jumped into action. She jumped into the bear's path and started to fight.
She fought for her sister until the bear and she fell to the Earth their forms limp for different reasons.
Kate's eyes went wide. "No." She said running to her fallen sister. "No not again." She said as she reached Jessica's side. "NO! JESSICA WAKE UP PLEASE!" Kate screamed when Jessica didn't awake when she shook her for a minute or two but to Kate it seemed like hours. "DAD! MOM! LILLY!" Kate screamed in the direction of the den as she lifted Jessica onto her back.
She came closer to the den she yelled again. "MOM! DAD! LILLY!" The three wolves ran as fast as they could seeing what Kate had on her back, or rather who. "Kate what happened?!" Winston yelled as he drew ever closer to his daughters. "She took me for a walk because I was feeling down. I kicked a rock without looking where it was going. It hit a bear. Jessica she pushed me out of the way and fought it. She killed it before she fell to the ground herself. She saved me again! SHE KEEPS DOING THIS! WHY?!" Kate was screaming by the end. "Lilly go call her twin and friends they need to get here quickly!" Eve yelled, Lilly without a word nodded and ran to make the call. "We must get her to the den to rest. She's more banged up this time. Last time she only got the scar leading from above her left eye to the bottom of her jaw." Eve said as they dragged Jessica into the cave.
"HURT?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE SAW HER NOT EVEN TWO HOURS AGO?!" Lilly was yelled at by five people at once. "Well Jessica took Kate for a walk to cheer her up but after that I don't know just that Kate brought Jessica back to the den on her back cut up and bleeding badly it looked like a bear attack. She might have had to kill another bear to keep Kate safe." Lilly responded. "STELLA GET YOUR STAFF WE'RE HEADING TO JASPER! WE'LL BE THERE IN A FEW MINUTES!" One person screamed it sounded like the one that answered the phone Bloom. After that the call cut off.
Not long after Lilly ended the call and Jessica was inside the den five teenage girls appeared outside. Eve and Winston at the front of the entire pack that was there waiting to see if she was alright. They all, Omegas and betas included, got ready to attack if they moved closer to the cave then they already were. Tecna took out her PDA and spoke into it. "We are Jessica's friends we got a call that she was injured." Eve walked forward.
Tecna held down her PDA so what she said would be translated. "She was while taking her sister Kate on a walk to cheer her up. She was attacked by a bear she killed the bear then fell to the ground herself." Bloom responded to that. "I am Jessica's twin Bloom please where is my sister." "Eve Jessica's mother. Follow me." Eve replied turning from the girls and walking over to her daughter.
Jessica lay at the back of the cave. More cuts that will eventually turn into scars that hold her memories. On top of her old scars from her last run in with a bear, which included a scar running across her face starting from just above her left eye all the way down to the bottom right of her jaw and four jagged lines running down the length of her right side starting at her shoulder and down all the way to her hip, she had the cuts she gained from this battle too. A gash on her left cheek five jagged deep lines on her left side matching the four she possesses on her right. Her back like the bear had dragged both its paws down her back claws sunk in. She had deep bite marks on her right hind leg, stomach, left front leg, and right shoulder they too looked deep enough to scar her.
"Flora can you do anything?!" Bloom sobbed as she saw the state her twin was in. "I have some herbs that will induce healing and fight infection. Also a few to help replenish her blood she lost and rebuild the damaged muscles. The ones for her blood and muscles will have to wait until she's awake but only because they have to be brewed in a tea to have the most effect the other two have to be pressed to the wounds." Flora replied grabbing the bag she had brought with her. She removed the herbs for the tea and two different leaves that looked to be weaved together into a patch. She also dug out a first aid kit. She silently sent to work only talking to tell one of the girls to get a bowl of water from the falls they saw that was close to the den while removing the bowl and a wash cloth from her first aid kit.
"She should wakeup by sundown tomorrow." Flora said as she stood up. "Why so long?" Bloom said her voice distant and slightly broken but relief flooding over her at the news her sister would be waking up relatively soon. "She lost a lot of blood. Any longer and she would have died." Flora said softly. "Good news is that Kate here made it so I could get to her in time by bringing her back and letting her parents and sister know and that got her sister to call us. That and Jessica should make a full and speedy recovery. She won't be able to do strenuous things for a day or two but she should be right as rain two days before the full moon and she'll be able to participate in those activities then for now she just needs rest." Flora said easing everyone's worries be they wolf or human, they all had a common ground, Jessica.
