A REVENGE SO SWEET-CONTINUED.
Silver stood slowly, her legs convulsed with violent tremors and she was forced to lean back onto the metal fence to allow her fatigued body to adjust to the new position. Pain rippled through her body and her muscles felt like jelly, not once had she ever felt this bad. Gritting her teeth against the sudden dizziness that filled her mind she waited silently until her breathing and body was back under her control.
Sighing, Silver gently pushed herself away from the metal supporting her and took an unsteady step froward. Every part of her body screamed in protest and she whimpered in pain. It hurt, Goddess it hurt so much. Her muscles cramped painfully and her limbs felt heavy, a clear sign that her body was demanding to rest now. If she were human she would already be lying in a heap on the floor, it was only her unique heritage that allowed her the strength to continue. For a few moments she pondered the idea of doing a simple blocking spell to prevent her feeling the pain, but quickly decided against it. Blocking spells were dangerous, not only could you become addicted to them but there was a risk of forgetting the strain your body was under and then placing it under more stress that it could handle.
Even while she was thinking, Silver forced herself to continue walking, glancing at her watch she realised that she should have been home five minutes ago, her parents would already be frantic with worry. However she wasn't ready to leave just yet, there was something she had to do first and she wasn't sure how long it would take.
Slowly Silver continued to walk towards her destination, each step was painful and tiring but she ignored it as sheer determination kept her moving at a steady pace. All around her she could here the soft sounds of animals resting and surrendering to sleep. The nocturnal animals made slight rustling sounds as she past as they scavenged for food. Not once did they pause in their actions to call out and attract attention or give a warning-she was not a threat. They knew it and she knew it. If anything they recognised her as kin and her presence relaxed them.
Silver walked quietly passed the large chimpanzee cage and smiled as she saw a young chimp looking at her in curiosity and wonder, its mother held it securely to her chest as she slept and Silver had to force herself to not walk over to get a better look.
Sighing, she continued to walk down the well-worn path, it would only be a few minutes until she reached her target and she couldn't wait.
~~FLASH BACK~~
The two 7year-olds giggled as they ran through the darkness, quickly avoiding being caught by the security guard. The white beam of light had just missed her as she jumped and as soon as she had landed in Chase's strong arms he had taken off running into the darkness. She had given a happy squeal and quickly wrapped her arms around his neck and held on tight. He held her securely as he jumped and darted around both large and small bushes-her small body not holding him back in the slightest. It was, as though she didn't weigh a thing and she guessed to an athletic vampire like Chase, she didn't. Sighing in content she snuggled into his embrace and rested her head on his shoulder. Her stomach was filled with butterflies, her skin tingled and her blood hummed through her veins. It was a frequent reaction to being this close to him and she loved it. Although they had never talked about it she silently wondered if Chase felt the same sensations of being this close to her. There were certain times when they touched and she gazed into his eyes and she just knew.
Shaking her head to clear her thoughts she realised that they had stopped moving, lifting her head from the crook of his neck, she silently gazed around. It was dark, but she could still see as there were a few scattered lights that illuminated certain cages and paths. They were in the centre of the zoo. She recognised it immediately, but more so she recognised the sounds of the animals around her. Everything was so peaceful and Silver felt truly relaxed. Being surrounded by animals always had that effect on her and she guessed that it had everything to do with being a Drache, after all she still had yet to chose her true shape.
Turning her attention back to the vampire holding her, she felt herself blush. He was gazing at her-blue eyes full of intensity and laughter. He was smiling at her and she felt herself blush harder but she refused to look away.
She giggled slightly causing him to break their gaze and slowly release his hold on her body. As her feet touched the ground she found herself swaying slightly but he steadied her immediately. A huge grin broke out on his face and she found it impossible not to smile back.
~~ END FLASH BACK~~
She had had so much fun that night. Her and Chase had explored and visited all the areas of the zoo and had narrowly escaped the security guards on a number of different occasions.
She had felt so safe and protected then. Chase had watched out for her and guided her safely around the darkest places. He had helped her climb other fences and gates and always made sure that if she fell he would always be in the right place to catch her. He had even broken into the gift shop for her and stole a few bars of her favourite chocolate as well as the small silver key-ring in her pocket.
Smiling wistfully at the memory, Silver found herself standing outside the large animal pen. Slowly she ducked under the security railing and walked over to the thick metal bars. Placing her hands on the two directly in front of her she allowed herself to become lost in her memories again.
~~FLASH BACK~~
Silver hummed happily as she took a bite of the chocolate bar in her right hand. Her other hand was clasped tightly in Chase's and they both swung their arms as they walked happily along the cobble path. All around them animals growled quietly, some purred contentedly and others snored softly in their sleep. The noises soothed her, reminding her of her own father, and she found herself humming louder as she took another bite of her chocolate. From the corner of her eye she could see Chase watching her in amusement. It wasn't her fault she loved chocolate. Everyone knew that she did, and sometimes when she was grounded and her parents stopped her from having it, Chase would sneak her bars when no one was looking.
Turning to face him, she childishly stuck her tongue out at him and giggled as he repeated the gesture. Turning her attention back to the bar in her hand, she took the last bite and stuffed the wrapper into her pocket and wiped her sticky fingers on her pants.
It was only then that she realised they had stopped walking, glancing at Chase, she realised that he was looking at the large cage behind her. Turning around, she pulled Chase with her to get a closer look. Leaning on the cool safety railing she found herself captivated with the beautiful felines behind the bars.
"Do you know what animal you want to be yet?" Chase asked her as he watched the caged animal pace back and forth around the perimeter of its pen.
"No, I haven't given it much though. Daddy told me to study but he said I'm too young to pick just yet. I gotta wait till I'm a big girl" She stated proudly.
He looked towards her then and smiled before gazing back to the pen. "I think you should be a large black cat. Like that one." He pointed towards the prowling panther.
Silver watched the beautiful animal. Her father was a lion, such a larger cat than the one before her, and such a different shade. But the panther was still nice.
"It's pretty . . . just like you" Chase told her with a smile causing her to blush.
~~ END FLASH BACK ~~
"For you Chase" Silver whispered as she softly petted the female panther in front of her. "Only for you" She spoke as her grip on the cat tightened. It let out a soft warning growl but didn't move as her mind merged with its'. Instincts, abilities, feelings and senses flooded her and were quickly stored to memory.
As quick as she began the impression, it was done.
All at once her senses became sharper and her body felt new and strong. Silver felt great, all aches and pains vanished. Her muscles were no longer fatigued and she felt as though she could do anything.
Silently she petted the silky fur one last time before releasing the animal, thanking it as she did.
Everything was different now but it felt so right . . . it felt natural, as though she was destined for this.
Right now, Silver wanted nothing more than to try out her new shape. She wanted to hunt, but she knew that she didn't have time. She had to get home as quickly as possible.
For a few moments she allowed herself the pleasure to just feel and sense every sound, scent and sight around her. Sighing sadly, she wished that Chase had been here to experience it with her, but she knew that he never would.
Not now . . . not ever.
Instincts suddenly crashed through her body and she wanted nothing more to growl and tear things to pieces with her deadly claws and teeth, but instead she forced herself to run, much faster and effortlessly than ever before.
As she ran, Silver could feel every single muscle in her body responding to her demands, they expanded and relaxed with ease allowing her body to move gracefully and flexibly. Instinctually she knew that there were over five hundred muscles in her body that she could move voluntarily whenever she wanted.
Her sight was now incredible. She could see in inferred and it was as though she was standing in a brightly-lit room. Detail was much more pronounced. Even though it was night, she could still see the colours in the darkness. She could clearly see the beautiful details on a moth's wing from five meters away.
The same moth that just managed to get out of the way from her as she ran. She could hear the distinguishable hum of its wings as it flew, but if she listened closely she could hear each separate beat of its wings. The zoo that had previously sounded fairly silent to her, was now as noise as a shopping mall on a Saturday.
Her sense of smell was now finely tuned. She could now identify every animal in the zoo by smell. It was amazing. Just by scent alone she could pin-point the right direction for anything and her noise could sort through all the different smells just to find one.
Every hair on her body was now exquisitely sensitive, especially the ones covering her face. instinctively she knew that she could find her way around in total darkness just by the air pressure. Even as she was running she could sense the air pressure. It was slightly humid and she knew that in a few hours it would be raining.
Rain suited her mood perfectly.
In the distance she could see the large outer fence of the zoo, narrowing her eyes in concentration, she forced her legs to move quicker. Never slowing her stride, she ran directly towards the metal barrier and at two meters away, she leapt. It was a good high jump, that took her directly to the top of the fence, effortlessly she grabbed onto the top railing and pulled herself up smoothly, swinging her legs over and allowing herself to drop. As her body descended towards the ground, she automatically collected all her muscles and prepared herself for the landing. The landing was very smooth and cat-like and extremely pain free.
Standing, Silver gazed back at he fence and smiled in astonishment before immediately taking off in a direct sprint. The smile never left her face as she dodged speeding cars, jumped over hedges and fences and avoided colliding with a few humans as well as a couple of Night Worlder's.
A few minutes later, Silver found herself running down the familiar surroundings of her own street. In the distance she could see her own house. Her parents were standing outside looking around frantically.
They were looking for her.
"Dammit!" She muttered under her breath.
Keeping her eyes firmly locked on her parents worried faces, she kept running, knowing that in a couple of seconds her father would hear her coming.
She was right. Her father sharply looked up and their gazes met. He frowned at her and cocked his head to the side- a purely animalistic motion. Before grabbing onto his wife's arm and pointing towards their eldest daughter.
They looked so relieved to see her and Silver's heart almost broke at that. She could here her mother sob in relief and her father muttering an ' I told you so!'. The only one that hadn't looked worried was little Gold, her two-year-old sister, who waved enthusiastically as her as she approached. Her slightly chubby face was lit up in a huge happy smile.
To Silver, the next few seconds seemed like a blur, one minute she was running and the next she was in her parent's arms. Both of them held her so tightly that she found it hard to breathe.
Gold give a childish squeal and wriggled so that she was able to wrap her arms around Silver's neck. When her parents released her, she automatically took hold of Gold and held her against herself.
"Silver-" Her mother began, only to be cut off by her father.
"Not now Sophia" He spoke quickly. "We have to leave" His voice was urgent as he ushered his family towards the fully packed black Land Rover.
Silver paused and gazed longingly at her child hood home. That house contained so many happy memories. She didn't want to leave.
Sadly, she turned and walked towards the family car, tightening her grip on Gold's smaller body with each step she took.
Opening the door, she carefully placed the two-year-old onto the seat and told her to move along before quickly climbing in after her. Pulling the door shut behind her, she sighed as her father started the engine and began to reverse out of the drive.
"Good bye life!" she whispered softly as she scooped Gold up in her arms and placed her on her lap. Looking up she caught her fathers gaze in the rear-view mirror and smiled sadly before kissing the top of her sisters head.
Her father smiled back at her before speaking "Nice choice Silver. A panther" he smiled brighter. "I couldn't be prouder"
For the first time that night, the ache in Silver's heart lessened and a warm glow filled her entire body.
"Oh my baby's all grown up" Her mother gushed "I'm so proud of you dear"
"You hear that" Silver spoke into Gold's ear. "Your sisters a big kitty"
For the next couple of hours all that could be heard was her sisters childish voice "Kitty, kitty kit kat, Kitty, kitty, kit kat, kitty-"
And maybe things weren't going to be that bad after all.
