Sorry I took so long internet was down and i couldn't go to the liabery or internet cafe cause of the riots going on right now.
"Daylight is coming to an end" Kama said peering out of the tents curtains.
"We should be leaving I can feel that father is drawing closer to home" Kama shivered. I muffled back a sigh. Draco wrapped one well muscled arm around me and playfully nuzzeld me in the neck.
"I'll take care of you" He whispered gently and kissed the spot just where his sweet breath touch me. Sending a rippling shiver of pleasure through me. He smiled suggestively at me, bent down and softly bit the spot where he had just kissed my neck. A small moan escaped my lips.
"Alright alright you sick kinky people, break it up." Felix pulled the two of us apart. "Don't shoot me that look Zoey. Gods! did you have an audience there the night you conceived Cronus? because I don't know how you can stand to do this lover thing in front of us. Honestly!" he through his arms up in the air.
The whole time Draco sat there chuckling and shaking his head.
"I'm going to miss you" I through my arms around Felix's neck. His grip on me was firm yet gentle.
"We'll be back as soon as you know it" Damon whispered.
I turned out of my brother's embrace and straight into Damon's arms, his stone hard chest relaxed a little, slowly he let me go.
"Thank you" I smiled up at him.
His look was a mixture of confusion and amusement. "For what?" His golden eyes blazed.
"For being here for me" I whispered.
He chuckled and took my hand with both of his. "Your my little sister I'm always going to be here for you. Even if you do something incredibly stupid". His eyes sparkled with delight. He squeezed my hand before letting go.
I turned to Kama I knew I was giving her that I can't-thank-you-enough look. She pointed at me the gesture was all acquisitive. "Don't you dare you've said thank you enough times your starting to give me a headache" She rubbed her templates and frowned at me.
"Just take care of the baby" she shook her head and glared at Spiro who was still crouched in the darkest corner of the tent, impatiently she swept pass Damon and Felix to the entrance of the tent.
"Look after her Draco" She glanced at me over her shoulder shook her head again, and gracefully swept open the curtains and slid out.
"I guess we need to get going" Lith said from his spot besides me. He scooted forwards a little, Cronus grumbled in his sleep a small little frown creased in between his dark little eyebrows. His small black and silver tip wings shivered open slightly, as he turned his head and nested it in the base of Lith's neck.
Lith stopped moving immediately, his handsome features instantly became solidified. Draco reached pass me and patted his stiff shoulder.
"It's okay Lith pass him here"
Lith tilted back lifted Cronus off his shoulder and passed him to Draco. Cronus sniffled his closed eyes flickered but didn't open. He grunted and turned his wings on us. Draco smiled gently at him as he lowered Cronus into the miniature bed he had created during my reunion with Lith, Kama, Damon and Felix.
"He's a grumpy little thing when it comes to sleeping" he smiled up at me.
"Just like his mother" Damon laughed.
"hey I'm not grumpy when I'm sleepy" I argued defensively and crossed my arms over my chest.
"Of course you aren't" Felix said rolling his eyes.
Kama tuck her head through the curtains."I'm sorry but do any of you boys want to raise fathers suspicion, if you do. Stay here till the break of day light!" she huffed and vanished from sight.
"She is right" Damon frowned and stood. "It is a long way back we must get moving" he spoke firmly almost as if he were trying to convince himself to get moving. Lith and Felix muttered "Fine" "Okay" and stroppily climbed to their feet.
"Bye Zoey, Draco and-" he grimaced a little "Spiro" Spiro jerked up at the sound of is name. Shut his eyes again and dipped his head inside.
"Bye" Lith and Felix said with a added touch of boredom. They parted the tents curtains and stepped outsides, with Damon following closely behind.
"It is a long way back Lith do you think we could borrow your wing power?" Felix asked. Lith laughed.
"You lot take years to say goodbye". Kama's voice was a high pitched crazy woman tone.
"Calm down Kama" Lith and Felix's spoke in union. Their voices dissolved in the changing wind. I sighed once again.
"Spiro I'm going to get you some furs" I spoke as I rose off the floor.
"No! he is not staying in here" Draco pulled me down into his arms. Spiro unfolded himself from his wings.
"Draco" I whined like a teenager.
"It is fine Zoey bedding really was not that comfortable to me any way" Spiro shook out his dark wings and stood.
"I will sleep outside" He moved to the entrance of the tent. "Good night " then he was gone.
"Could you be any more cruel?" I smacked him on the chest. Draco grabbed my hand and scolded down at me.
"I said he could stay, I didn't say in here" still staring into my eyes he lifted my hand to his lips. "how about tomorrow morning I'll fix him up a tent to sleep in" His eyes softened in to warm smile
I leaned in closer to him, simultaneously almost as if by instinct Draco wrapped his arms around the small of my back and pressed me firmly against his hard body. My hands trailed up his chest and smoothly slid down his shoulder blades. He shivered ferociously to as point that his wings opened slightly I recoiled my fingers. But he grabbed them and flashed a naughty smile in my direction "I like your touch" he murmured . One of his hand traveled down the length of my back down my thigh, until he reached the hem of my short brown buck skin mini dress.
His cool fingers were finding there way under it and slowly sliding their way up my naked flesh to my back. Sending ripples of heated pleasure.
"Shall we" he murmured against my lips. With his eyes staring into mine, he leaned forward and bit gently into my shoulder, then kissed the spot where his teeth met my skin. His kisses were slow heated with a lust that made me feel out of control. His lips trailed up to my dress strap, his eyes met mine there was a mischievous glint in them. Slowly like he was trying to tease me he peeled the strap down from my shoulder with his teeth, and kissed his was back up to the other side of my dress where he did the same. My hands flew up over his head and down his back, as he began to leave a trail of gentle passionate kisses down my chest. Draco slowly peeled back the dress to expose my breast he leaned into me his smile was warm and seductive. At that precise moment Cronus squeaked, I let out a little yelp of surprise and jumped out from beneath him , I had completely forgotten he was here. Draco smiled up at me. His liquid golden eyes looked unfocused.
"Relax's he is still sleeping" His voice was all husky.
"You must be mad to think I'd make love to you in front of our child" I frowned down at him. But squeezed his hand. He squeezed it back and sighed.
"Lets go to bed" I slouched down into the soft warm bedding. Draco slid down next to me and pulled me against his body. His hot sweet breath tickled the side of my neck, with every sweet kiss he placed had me shivering.
He felt so right around me. His strong body hard big body, was such a contrast to how little I was compared to him, It surprised me at how right it felt to be in his arms. But this was wrong, we couldn't do it now though I really really wanted to, for God's sake Cronus was sleeping right next to us, and not to mention Lycaon tucked in at the bottom of my bed.
I murmered sleepily "Draco stop"
His touch became sexier and less gentle. I shivered again. "But Zoey you feel so good" His voice had gotten so sexy and seductive I was confused for a second as to why I wanted him to stop. I wanted so bad to embrace the pleasure he could give to me.
Cronus squeaked again, Draco instantly tensed. I shifted towards him and turned to face him. He had the cutest yet sexy caught-in-the-act look on his face. I shifted up on my elbow and kissed him deeply on the lips.
"Now you see why" I murmured against his lips. He kissed me once before I turned to lie down again. Draco pressed his body up against mine, this time he kissed my shoulder once before he got up again. I sat up instantly.
"Where are you going?" I asked whipping away at my falling eyelids. He stood over Cronus, watching him silently with a concerned expression on his handsome face.
"To get some wood for the tent I am to make tomorrow" He looked at me. He looked tried.
"Draco, come here you said you'd do it in the morning, Why now?"
He shrugged his broad shoulders and said nonchalantly. "Now, because I don't sleep, It gives me something to do while you rest"
"You don't sleep" I frowned up at him. "since when?"
He chuckled and crawled down in front of me, he bent and kissed my forehead. "Since the day I was born".
"I guess it's and Angel thing" He shrugged again.
"I'm just going to the edge of the forest." He kissed me deeply on the lips then got up. "Be sure not to leave the tent, I will be back in less than and hour" he made his way around Lycaon.
"But Draco..." I huffed out a sigh.
Draco chuckled, "Tomorrow if you like we can go hunting"
I nodded and yawned.
"Now go to sleep my sweet Zoey" silently he brushed pass the curtains and stepped into the night.
I couldn't help but think I caused him to act this way. I sighed it didn't matter this would all go away, I would make it go away. Maybe I could ask Kama to look after Cronus for a while, so Draco and I could have some time to our selves. But where would they go?, and what about the fallen ones? Lycaon's wet nose nuzzled my arm. He whined.
"Oh sorry pup" I opened my arms and he crawled into them. His warm fur tickled my cheek. He whined again.
"I'm not neglecting you, I'm just thinking" I said as I began to stroke his soft brown fur. The wolf huffed in responses and his tail wiggled in excitement. He tucked his broad head against my pillow his warm brown eyes slowly drew to a close.
"I'm glad your nice and comfy" I said trying my best to ease the worrying thought of where Kama could take Cronus to baby sit. His eyes opened slightly then fell again. You big user I thought.
Lycaon's ear's twitched back and forth. The wind was picking up, No that wasn't the wind. At the same time the both of us snapped our heads up. And stared at the tents entrance. It was wings flapping, fear stabbed through me at the thought of who could be out their. It wasn't Draco, It weren't Spiro. I knew this because Lycaon was growling and he never growled at Draco. not even Spiro because they were with me.
He only growled at strangers. "ssh I need to hear" I whispered to the wolf. Lycaon got up from my arms and moved to stand defensively in front of Cronus. He stood tall but his fur was on edge, he lowered his head still staring at the entrance his growl deepened. Alerio popped his head out of his wing and shook them open. Silently he spread his large black wings and glided down from his perch at the tents roof, and landed on Lyacons back.
"Guard him" I instructed, as I rushed towards the entrance. The beating of the wings got louder. Slowly and carefully I pulled the curtains open just enough so that I could peer out and see what was making the noise. I sucked in a gasp. To the east just at the edge of the forest I could see two large raven creatures, hovering about Spiro's sleeping body.
Their dark wings beat against the navy sky. I knew from pass experience I couldn't take them on. I needed a whole lot of help. But there was no time, before I knew it a terrible shriek drenched the night. I bounded out the tent across the meadow towards the eastern tree line. Spiro shrieked again as the two beast dragged him by their horrible claws out of his nest and into the sky.
"Spiro" I whispered as they carried him away. I could have used my element air to bring them down, but that would raise the risk of Spiro falling to his death. I could still hear his desperate screams. Draco came crashing through the tree line. He stopped mid in stride when he saw me. Within seconds his arms were around me, and the agonizing pain in his eyes turned into a frustrated frown.
"I thought I lost you, and why aren't you safe and asleep"
"Draco they've taken Spiro we must help him" I cried.
"And leave Cronus all alone, who has taken him?"
"He needs my help, I'll call Kama" I said trying to pull out of his arms.
"No, you will stay here where it's safe. You can not save him."
"I can and I will" I stumbled out of his arms. He made a move towards me. "No, I'm going to help him".
"Fine, I will bring Cronus" He turned his back on me.
"Draco you can't bring him"
"So I can take him to Kama" he gave me the saddest pained look ever. "Draco I have to do this"
He smiled weakly at me. "I know, But I made an oath to a woman along time ago. I said no matter what I'd follow her anywhere" He paused. "I'll follow you anywhere Zoey no matter what" He pulled me into his arms and kissed my head.
"Go Goddess, I'll meet you half way." He pulled away and ran towards the tent.
Who the hell was the woman he was talking about. I had no time to ponder on the possible answers. Or to call him on his new nickname for me, even though it originated for me a good few weeks ago. I took off to the east, a few moments into my race I realized I had no idea where I was going, or what to do if I got to Spiro. Moron! I mentally shouted at my self, why didn't I ask Draco to bring some help?
"Can't stop now" I chanted. I continued east for a while. As the trees blurred pass me I picked up Spiro's scent. I sped faster and faster till I felt like I'd lost control of my self. With every stride I took his scent sped further and further away. The harder I tried to race ahead the further his scent got away, till suddenly it was gone.
"No!" I cried as I stopped dead in my tracks. How is that possible? to just vanish. I began pacing back and forth. I gazed up at the moon, it hung in the night in a crescent shaped, but just as beautiful and bright as a full moon. It gave me an odd comfort like it was there silently guiding me. I always felt oddly happier when the moon was out.
"So what now?" I spoke to the crescent in the sky. The moon did nothing as I knew it would. What were I to do if it leap from the sky and gave me advise?. I'd go insane if it did.
"Really?" I huffed out a great big sigh, and stared down from the cliff and into the dark woods below it. I looked around I was in a tiny open clearing only about twenty feet wide.
I sighed again, and glanced back up the moon. "Guidance my ass". My comment seemed to trigger the moon to glow ever brighter. It reminded me of a smile, odd I've never seen it do that before. Actually no I had a long time ago the night I cried my self to sleep, after mother died. A weird chilling but sweet sensation danced across my skin, I felt touched and warm, then I got a sense of a presence. But not like a scary apparation, It felt familiar and very very alive.
"Did I tell you how much I like to be dragged out of my bed in the middle of the night" Kama's voice drifted out of the dark bushes behind me. I turned around just in time to see her emerge out of the trees shadows. Riding on Lith's furry silver back horse style. To the right of the both of them Damon the black wolf snorted, and to the left of them Felix's trotted merrily up besides them.
"Sorry Kama, Where's Cronus?" How could she lose him again.
She held up her hands "With Mya and Eva" she said quickly
"What! are you insane-"
"It's alright Zoey father won't return till the moon is full again" she glanced quickly up at the moon then back at me. "they know he's yours"
"Really what gave that away?"I shot back.
"Don't take that tone with me, all I'm saying is you don't have to worry that they'll tell father".
"I'm sorry I'm just a little bit frustrated". Lith snorted, Kama smacked him on the shoulder, the wolf whined and snorted again.
"That's not fair Lith I was just telling-" She paused and stared down at him, the longer she listened the quicker the frown appeared on her beautiful face.
She narrowed her eyes at him, this time she snorted and folded her arms across her chest . Damon trotted over to me and nuzzled me gently on the shoulder with his big black nose.
"Now stop whining and let's get on with it" Lith said His voice rang as clear as a bell in my head. He ran to the edge of the cliff.
"I smell foul blood"
How could he smell that? beasts really were supreme when it came to hunting.
"Because I just can" he answered my unspoken question.
Damon ran up and stepped beside Lith. Draco bounded out the bushes behind us. "Can you smell that?" He sounded alert and aroused a little by the smell. His black wings shook open slightly, "Yes" all three of the boys said together.
"He is not dead, I am sure of this-" His wolf golden eyes met mine. "Zoey" He ran towards me. I stumbled half a step back, he stop just short of knocking me to the ground. He nuzzled his muzzle against my cheek. "Your are safe"
"I am" I reached up and kissed his furry grey cheek. "I love you do you know that" He said rubbing his cheek against mine
"Enough of that we must get moving" Damon interupted. Draco huffed and bent to lay on the floor. Felix yawned. "Yeah and I'm teird" he skipped over to the cliff and stared down into the darkness.
"Th...th..that's a long way down" His said shaking slightly. He took a half step back.
"Chicken" Kama gulped and stared around Lith's broad sliver shoulder and down into the darkness.
"We haven't the time in world" Damon said backing up to the tree line of the forest. He hit the forest edge howled and took off. Damon leaped deep into the dark woods below us, we watched as he fell down and down and down, till he landed with a light tud.
"Damon" Kama shuffled closer on Lith's back. No aswnser. "Oh God's he's dead!" Felix cried.
"Listen!" Draco called, Felix silenced.
"What are you waiting for?" Damon Laughed. Then His paws hit the floor and he was off.
Felix cocked his head to the side for a moment, "Hmm Looks kind of fun" Then He took off with a great big howl, Felix jumped from the cliff, and was consumed by the darkness swarming below. He skidded down what must have been a little hill at the bottom.
"It's not that bad" He called before racing off after Damon. Who must have been a few miles away by now.
"Ready Kama?" Lith sounded generably concered and sensetive.
"I'm risking my Life for that stupid Spiro" She clutched her hands into Lith's fur he whined. "Easy these hair's are connected to my skin" he whimpered again.
"Sorry"
"So you know his name now" I teased. She stared at me wided eyed. "Well of course I do he said in front of us" Both Draco and Lith chuckled. "What!" She smacked Lith on the neck.
"I'm just so use to hear you call him a beast or natures cruel joke" He chuckled again.
"So you speak of Spiro to our brothers" I smiled at her.
"Oh just shh he annoys me okay"
"What ever you say" Lith and Draco bursted into chuckles again.
"Hurry!" Damon comanded.
"Let's go" Lith turned towards the woods.
"NO Lith I'm not ready-" Her statement was caught short as Lith bounced up and down into the darkness with Kama screaming like her life depended on it, in his ears. They landed with a thud and took off after Damon and Felix.
"Damn it Kama, my hearings gone all fuzzy"
"I don't regret anything" She said quickly. "That's what you get for not making sure I was ready"
"Get on my back" Draco's voice pulled me back to earth. "Are you sure I can do that?" I said taking a step in his direction.
"Zoey" Even though right now he was a giant wolf with black wings. I could clearly make out the look he gave me. It was the one: don't-worry-about-me-and-do-as-I-say look.
"Okay" I walked over to him. By this time he had dipped his head so that I could climb on to his warm back as easily as possible. "Hold on My goddess"
There it was again, Goddess I was nothing otherworldly but he kept calling that. I must have been clinging to his fur because all of a sudden. He dived down the side of the cliff. Then he swooped up from the head dive and landed gracefully up on his paws his wings beated once then clunge to his sides again.
"How was that?" He looked back at me over his shoulder.
"great"
He chuckled softly. "Now hold on" He instructed. Draco took off The wind battered against my face In a way it never had done before. This was a whole new type of experince, It was magical yet frightning at the same time. I could feel his muscles contracting as he jerkerd his body to dodge the trees. The blurring green of the forest evapourated, and was replaced by a thick blue and green. Then the sound of the river breezed passed us, as Draco made another startling jerk and we were back in the forest again.
The feeling was so amazing to run as fast as the wind. "How are you doing Zoey?" Draco sounded so calm so incontrol and relaxed, that If I closed I would have thought he were standing still. He jerked again, this time instead of clinging harder to his fur. I let go and embraced the wind.
"Im great" I shouted to the wind.
Less than a moment later Damon came into, "Did we pass Felix and Lith already?" I asked squinting against the wings as I looked behind us. "No" He jerked forward, as he came closer to Damon.
"I can smell him" Damon said "He is close". He darted forward a little more. Lifted his head and howled to the wind. His howl was joined by two others and from the small cliff besides us Lith's silver body leaped out of the dark green bushes over our heads and landed neatly, he caught up moments later and was starting to over take us. Kama clung to his Silver fur, her body pressed as close to his as possible. Her eyes were closed but she was mumbling something, I laughed.
"Are you praying?" I laughed
Her eyes shot open. "Like my life depended on it" She shouted over the wind. I laughed again and through my arms back. She frowned at me "Your mad"
Lith was quickly over taking Draco.
"He is very close" Lith spoke. Spiro's scent hit my nosterials. I leaned forward over Draco's shoulder blades. "Hurry Draco he smells like he's bleeding a lot". Draco jerked forward. Felix darted out the cliff above us he was closing in. "I tell ya don't take the mountain trail, I swear to the God's it's a big waste of time"
he sounded vuagely annoyed which was odd to hear, since he normally made a joke out of his situations.
"Stop!" Damon shouted. All four of the wolves skidded to a stop.
"I swear I'm going to kill that bird" Kama said as she attempted to dismount Lith. Lith grunted and stepped forward slightly. "Ouch easy Kama" .
"Sorry-" She fell flat on her back.
"God's give me strength" She said breathlessly as she rubbed her back.
"Are you okay?" carefully dismounted Draco. And reached down for her hand.
"Show off" She said cooly as took my hand.
Felix laughed. "That's embarrassing"
Before Kama could retaliate. Damon stepped in. "That's enough!"
"Agreed now is not the time for this" Draco stepped around me, and went to stand furthest away from the group.
"Is that a fire" Kama was squinting towards and orange glow in the distance. I took a step closer. "It is". In the distance I could hear Spiro's cry.
"Spiro" I launched forward into a run.
"Zoey wait!" Kama practically screamed.
I dived into the deep ever green forest and ran, it felt oddly slow compared to Draco's ride. I could hear them behind me, their soft paws beating on the forest floor as they cased after me. Less than a heart beat later, Lith was at my side trying to grab hold of my dress. I took a sharp turn left and ended up falling down a large slope.
"Zoey wait" Draco called.
I ignored him picked myself up just in time to dodge out the way before Damon's teeth clamped shut over my dress. Dirt stained, my skin and my clothes and soon the overpowering chocking smoke hit me.
"Zoey this dangerous you don't know what your getting yourself into" Damon warned as he tried unsuccessfully to latch on to my dress again as he chased me through the woods. The warm glow of the fire was coming closer and closer, and with it so did the smoke.
Just ahead of me I caught the sight of Felix with Kama on his back. Standing there both of their eyes a blazed with a red huge, that was coated with liquid blood. "Stop Now!" Felix shouted. "He needs my help"
I jerked right and tumbled into the bushes, everything fell quiet. I couldn't hear their hearts beat our their paws beat against the floor not even their breath. All I could hear was Spiro's terrible screams. The smoke here was thicker more intense and very hard to ignore. But some how the only thing that bothered me was the fact that it was blocking my vision, and not affecting me in any other way, I wasn't held over on the ground coughing me life out. I didn't do any of that. Maybe it was because fire was my element, maybe It was because I had more immortal than mortal in my blood. Maybe I was an Immortal already. But wouldn't I know by now? Unless I'd been immortal all along, but that's stupid of me to think.
The ghostly flames of the fire from a camp, were sprung out against a wall, their light scaled up it and dissolved into the night. Movement only meters away from me caught my attention, It was the raven creatures. Not just the two from before I eased back a little, there were more much. Maybe fifty. How did I think I could rescue Spiro? Oh I didn't I didn't think this through I should have listened when Felix told me to stop. I looked over my shoulder at the gaping hole I had fallen through. No they weren't their waiting for me, all I could hear was Spiro's screams.
Spiro I turned back to raven creatures, where was he? The creatures were spitting some were laughing and others shrieking and flapping their horrible dark wings. But they were all face round one thing in the centre of their gathering I spotted Spiro. He was bleeding a hell of a lot more than the day Kama and I had found him. Every sealed gash that had healed with time was reopened and multiplied. He was soaked in his own blood. to a point that no sin was left visible. They had pulled most of his feathers out and thrown them in a pile behind him. Oh and his wings, I could faintly make out... I peered at them and leaned closer, The white of bone that had torn out of his wing.
Spiro laid his back against a small rock, he was ridged and broken and cupped his blood weeping arm. He bite back a hiss as he stared up into the demon red eyes of the largest Raven creature.
"Tell me what they said to" It hissed. The sound of it's voice reawakened a nightmare inside me.
Spiro leaned away from it, and cried out as the raven creature raked its sharp nails, and slashed it down his leg. The Creatures behind him laughed a mocking tone They hissed and spat, opening their black beaks and flicking out their serpentine tongues out at Spiro's direction as if they were tasting his blood.
"I do not like to hurt you brother" The creature hissed. Brother! I thought we had killed them all. What about when The fallen one said how we killed his son's, what was that about why would he say we killed all of them if we didn't? Unless they wanted us to think that.
"Then stop this!" Spiro spat. Creature jerked forward and wrapped its horrible nails and pressed them into Spiro's throat.
"What did they say?" He said slowly drawing out every word with a hiss.
Spiro leaned in forward. "Nothing" He sounded surprisingly strong. "They said nothing". He flinched as the creature carved its nail along the base of his neck.
"Father isn't pleased." he said gently. "You should have came home Spiro" His tongue flicked out against Spiro's fresh cut. Spiro eased away and screamed.
Something warm nudged at my elbow. Slowly I turned away. Draco's warm golden eyes were inches from mine. His muzzle was encased with dirt.
"Don't move" he instructed. He stood and moved around me silently he moved through the bushes, and out in the open. The Raven creatures didn't see him move closer and closer to them from behind.
"Draco" I whispered through my teeth. His grey ears twitched in my direction He could still hear me.
"Don't do this there's no way you can kill them all". Stealthily he crept closer his tail wagging through the scorching air. His White fangs glistening as the light of the fire danced of them. His dark wings shook open and even then they could not see him.
"What is going on?" I whispered, his ear twitched again.
"I'm hunting" His voice was all growl. I hadn't the slightest clue why the creatures couldn't hear him. Suddenly it wasn't just Draco in super stealth mood. They stepped out of the bushes way to quietly and descended towards the creatures. That was Lith, Damon and Felix and another wolf this was smaller but ferocious look than all of them. It was brown, the same brown as Lycaon. In fact it was and exact replica of Lycaon but just super sized. With ever step it took it looked down at its paws with a curious gaze in it's amber-golden eyes?
Kama! Oh my gods Kama! how? suddenly my family was able to take on the forms of wolves now. When did that happen? They moved with the grace of a dancer but their movements at the same time were vicious and dangerous.
"Stay low Zoey" Lith instructed. I dipped deeper into the bushes but parted a peep hole through the leaves so that I could see them. The attack was brutal and horrifying to watch. Draco was the first to attack, they never saw him coming. Then next Damon then Lith,Felix and finally Kama got a few bites in, after that the few bite she got more comfortable with her new body. She ripped them apart literally. But above Lith was the best fighter he took out three of The raven creatures at once.
Draco went for the one that was closes to Spiro, he clamped his fangs deep into the creatures neck. Its horrible scented blood squirted every where. "take him Zoey" Draco shouted. I launched out of my hiding place and leaped over, something deep inside me felt warm and fuzzy, I felt light and not myself. The feeling was replaced by a crushing feeling. I felt like something was pulling me from the inside out. All of a sudden I landed on huge white paws.
Staring down at them in middle of a battle field I felt a mile away. I left my left hand no! paw. White paw, and examined it. "your welcome" Damon said. I could here the smile in his voice.
"Zoey your the most beautiful wolf I've ever seen". Kama squeaked.
"Wolf" I said breathlessly staring at the white tail that was snaked between my white hind legs.
"where not warewolves are we?" I asked shakily as I willed my back leg to stretch out, this was definitely going to take time to get use to.
"No" Lith laughed "It's called shape shifting" he spoke in nonchalantly tone as he ripped another limb from a shrieking raven creature.
"Zoey get Spiro out of here" Draco barked, as he shook off an attacking raven creature.
"oh right sorry" I jerked forward in shock and skidded to a stop my head felt dizzy, but my legs remained strong.
"ouch" I wish I had my hand back so I could rub at my head.
"Yeah were a lot faster than were used too still getting used to it myself" Kama said as bite into a biceps of one of the creatures trying to defend its self.
Okay One step at a time. I spoke willing all four legs to move, I took a step forward, I could feel my lips draw back in what felt like a triumphing smile. this is good, I took another step then another, I jerked forward again s Spiro screamed in pain.
"Baby steps Zoey, baby steps" I told myself. "Wow imagine that learning how to walk for the first time in another type of body" My lips pulled back even further. A low growl rippled and vibrated in my chest I leap in shock.
"Didn't mean for that to happen"
Kama laughed "it's your inner wolf"
"You'll learn how to tame it eventually" There was no joke in his tone. He was dead serious and that scared me. I whimpered and felt my self back up a little. This was so weird, what ever emotion I felt my body would react to it.
"Zoey hurry" Damon instructed. His voice sounded a lot closer than it was. He was half way into the bushes twelve meters away.
"oh sorry yes" I jerked forward. My head began to spin again. I bit back and forced it to the deepest corners of my mind. It felt like I'd only taken a step forward, but my eyes were dry and a shot of adrenalin rushed through my body. Spiro's shriek torched my ears. I felt my self howl in pain.
"Stop. that hurts" I opened my eyes, If I could frown I would of he was suppose to be three and half meters away yet he was here. Hang on a minute I'd never been able to estimate that kind of distance with a single look before. I stared down into Spiro's terrified eyes as he backed away from me, with each small moan of pain. the sound amplified into a boom in my ears.
I howled again in pain. "Stop moving your hurting me" I barked he stilled instantly. His strained eyes widen as he stared up at me.
"Zoey?" he peered up at me the fear in his eyes slow began to melt away and so did his fear stained smell. Since when did I smell fear?. I shook my self and gazed down at him.
"Of course it's me" I tried to sound as friendly as possible.
He stared up at me for a long moment I hadn't noticed how short he was, wait a moment I remembered Draco was abnormally large and Lith was and Felix and Damon And Kama even though she was the shortest. So I was bound to be round about the same height as Kama which was horse sized.
"Your huge" he seemed to grow smaller and smaller.
"yeah" I said breathlessly.
"And your in my head" he pointed to his head.
"oh sorry I didn't know"
"you've done this before. I mean before you weren't a wolf" Through his face was mutated I could still make out the confusion in his red eyes.
"Sorry I didn't realized I could do that" How did I do that? No, I could have done it without realizing I did. Maybe he was lying.
"Zoey get him out of here" Damon ordered.
Spiro was still staring up at me. I bent low towards the ground so I was at eye level with him.
"I need to get you out of here" he hesitated. "so I you can be safe" Spiro nodded. Stood but grimaced as he climbed on to my back.
" Ready?" I as him. Spiro clung to my fur I whined "Easy that's connected to my skin you know"
"sorry"
"Let's go" I launched forward my head began to spin again.
"Ouch, baby steps Zoey" I skidded to a stop.
Spiro shifted forward his eyes met mine I could see the confuse in their red depths.
"what?"
"Nothing".
Sorry If I have any spelling mistakes rushing this
