Chapter 8 Starting the Pack
Brey keeps pace with me, having another wolf to run through the trees with sent my emotions of happiness soaring and a feeling of utter belonging surged through me with every step. My paws pounding on the forest floor drawing a beat steady and true are now not so idol and complacent I realize as I take in the rhythm of 8 paws pounding out something beyond the mere patter of our furry feet. The constant drumming only interrupted when our feet leave the earthen surface to soar into the air over a log or just to spite the other.
I turn and nip at his shoulder catching him and myself off guard and in turn we both crash to the forest floor in a heap of tangled limbs. Having four legs is much more difficult than having only two.
Before I know it the forest is starting to darken and I know we must head back, back to where my clothes are on the edge of the forest. Drake hopefully has forgotten that he wanted to see me, left with his cronies, to deal with me another day. Sadie should have gone home, she better not be mad at me, I was suppose to meet her.
"Don't worry I'll take the blame for you on that one." I hear Brey voice inside my head.
I phase back as we reach the clearing where this all started, and quickly put my clothes back on. I turn to stare at the wolf before me once dressed. He physically is larger than me, although I doubt we would ever have the need to fight each other, we are friends right what could he ever do to anger me enough to attack him as a wolf. Happy I have my thoughts to myself, I wonder what I need to do to help him change back, and hell what is he gonna wear.
"Uhhhh, why don't you just wait here for a moment we can't have you wondering around town naked." I say warily not quite certain of where to get clothes for him, the school is the closest building.
The black wolf just stares at me his head slightly cocked to the side as I walk out of the forest and towards the school building. I roll my eyes at my luck, the coach of some school team has the gym door propped open as he waits for all the students to leave after practice.
"Hey Coach," I say with a grin, "Ya think I can go inside and get my history book, I forgot to bring it home earlier."
He smiles at me and gives me a slight nod as I walk past him and into the almost deserted school. I swing back around and through the other entrance into the locker rooms and grab some discarded sweats and a team shirt for Brey, they stink but hell he can't be too picky he has no clothes. I leave through a different door, tactfully avoiding the coach and head back into the woods where I left Brey.
The large black wolf I now recognize at Brey is lying down in the middle of the clearing where I left him. Almost peaceful look though if he is anything like me he is beyond peaceful, his mind trying to make sense of all of this wolf stuff. To top that off one of his closest friends is in love, no not in love just very fond of his kid sister. I throw the clothes towards him and they tumble about his head and fall to the side.
"Okay, now you need to relax, let a calm roll through your entire body. Remember what it is like to wiggle your own toes, to feel your fingers extend and clench. Pull out any memories you have that are distinctly human, imagine the sound of your voice, the feeling of walking on two feet again, or simply the feeling of the dirt beneath your bare skin." I rub my neck nervously wondering if I am helping him at all.
It takes about thirty minutes for Brey to probably grasp what I was telling him and to change back. He pulls the clothes on with a disgusted grimace only glancing at me once finished with a silent question of what now?
"Come on, Clearwater is probably pissed at me, not to mention your sister as well, and lets pray we don't run into Drake or Walker as we head over to the Council building." I sigh heading out of the safety of the woods and into the open.
The Council building isn't far from school being in that nothing in La Push is far from anything really. The back door swings open before I have a chance to open it, not surprising Clearwater is the one waiting on the other end of the door opening. I smile sheepishly and glance back at Brey who looks white and pale even with his tan complexion.
"Sorry I'm late had a bit of a problem with Brey here." I smirk at the old man as he motions us into the dimly lit building.
"Take a seat." I roll my eyes and from then on out I tune of most of what the old man and Brey discuss not entirely wanting to endure the interrogation I myself had previously gone through. I want to know what Sadie is doing, is she mad at me for not coming back to school?
"Talin?" I hear loudly breaking my thoughts.
"Huh?" I ask stunned at the look Clearwater is giving me.
"I said you can go, but I am afraid Brey will more than likely be staying here for the time being, you know."
I sigh, "I'll see ya tomorrow Brey, don't worry too much they will let you leave as soon as they are sure you aren't gonna hurt anyone or change in the middle of math class." I laugh easing his tension a slight bit before heading out the back door, once outside my mind quickly jumps to thoughts of Sadie.
