Tears Falling Like Rain

Sasha and I arrived at the SDCF building moments later. The company has guards posted all the way around the building. I took the easiest way in that I could think of, which was from one of the glass windows on the 75th floor. It looked deserted. The floors were a black marble waxed very carefully, and the walls in the hallways are pure white. I took out the 3D image map from a pocket on my belt to see where they keep the data chip concealed. The 84th floor is where I was supposed to be. There was a nearby elevator, but elevators mean cameras, and nobody is supposed to know that I am here, so I guess we're taking the stairs.

While I'm climbing up these long steps, I should tell you more about Sasha, Dusk and myself. Sasha and Dusk used to be wolf demons just like I am right now, but they became of age so that they could fulfil what every wolf demon dreams of going through. A child that is born from a wolf, lives as a human, then develops the characteristics of one and finally, at the age of 17, they transform into a wolf. At least that's how the story goes. I, myself, have never seen it been proved wrong. Sasha was my partner that was assigned to me since she was new, and our relationship went beyond partners, we became like sisters. I have been in this organization all my life and finally proved I was good enough to have a partner. Every wolf has a certain reason for undergoing the transformation. Some don't know what to think of it, while some can't wait for it to happen. I alone, am afraid of undergoing the change. I have seen one other go through the pain and anguish to become a beautiful and awesome creature, and it terrified me. But now, that same person is waiting for me to undergo the changes.

We finally reached the top of the stairs at the floor we need to be on. The glass case holding the data chips are surrounded by at least 30 men. Sasha looks at me wondering what I'm going to do. It's usually her that comes up with the plan, and I usually carry it out. I guess this time its different.

Sasha jumps in to the room at god like speed, and seriously injures a few men with her teeth. They started pulling out guns, so I jumped in to help her. Running along the side of a wall, I pull out my daggers and slit a couple of guys throats. They start spewing blood and quickly drop to the floor. In no time flat, we took out all the men that were guarding the room. I grabbed a lazer from my belt and carefully cut the glass case open. Sasha walked up to me and said that there are more guards going up the stairs. I take out the data chips and put them in a small enclosed pocket. Something isn't right, this mission was too easy. There was a red light that flashed from inside the case, and immediately, I knew what it was, a bomb. I grabbed Sasha by her fur coat and lunged her towards the window. The bomb, already exploding the glass, made it an easy way out also blowing me out the window.

I just realized that Sasha was falling along right beside me. There was no way we could get down safely without dying. I passed out from the destruction of the bomb. I felt something soft touch my skin and land on a hard surface.

I awoke in a soft bed in a room that looked very familiar, and I was placed in white robe. All of my wounds from the explosion are bandaged. I am in the same building that my apartment is in. I walked out into the living room and stood between a table and a white couch. The apartment walls and windows were pure glass just like mine with buildings visible beyond. I had guessed right. A man with black hair, with red tips, dressed in black leather pants and a white dress up shirt that was unbuttoned, was leaning against the balcony beam outside. My heart leapt at the sight of him. My voice was gone, I couldn't speak. The piercing blue eyes paralyzed my mind and my body.

All of the sudden, without thinking about it, I lunged for his chest with tears streaming down my face. I managed to find my voice, only to say, "You've finally come back to me, Dusk."

He hugged me tight then pulled me away from him. "Mya, you were being reckless tonight. You could have gotten both you, and Sasha killed. You should have thoroughly investigated the case before you opened it. You've been passed out for almost a day.."

Sasha hadn't even crossed my mind. "Where is she? Is she all right? Please, tell me she's all right!" I began to panic, and move about reopening one of my wounds.

"She's all right. She went back home to rest, she's not injured like you are. Being shot by glass, then thrown out of the building by and explosion, today isn't your day." Dusk said, lying me down on the bed so that he could tend to a wound on my arm. My chest was wrapped in bandage.

"Dusk, why are you in your demon form?" I asked while he finished tying a knot on another bandage.

"It's a full moon tonight. And I wanted to see you, like this." His voice is so calming, it could put you to sleep.

I got out of the bed and walked to a glass door, opened it and stepped out onto the balcony. The moon was so full and bright with the stars shining as bright as they can to match the moon. There is a wonderful wind and it just enveloped me, waving my hair about and ripping at my clothes. Dusk came up behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist, and our hair mixing together in the wind.

It calmed and he turned my face to where I could fully see him and said, "Mya, would you slap me if I were to kiss you right now?" he asked with his pleading eyes staring into mine.

"I do owe you for saving my life, so no, I wouldn't mind." he smiled and put his arm around my waist, pulling me close to him. His lips touched mine in a gentle, but severe kiss. His tongue met mine, savoring the sweet taste. We finally broke free for air, with his lips traveling down from my lips to my collarbone. "Beeeeeeeeeppppp...Beeeeeeeeeppppp...Beeeeeeeeeppppp!"

The piercing sound of my cell phone in my jacket pocket broke the moment. With Dusk standing there, I ran for the bed, tripping on the way, finally got the phone out and answered it.

"Hello?" I said trying to catch my breath.

"Yeah, I have it. Do I have to come right now? Okay, I'll be there. Bye" I hung up the phone.

I started changing into my original clothes while Dusk stared out into the sky. "That was the boss. He wants me to bring him the data chips."

"Yeah, what else is new? He's too lazy to come get it himself?" he said with a snappy attitude.

"I don't know." I walked over to the balcony and hung my legs off the side. "Come on, lets go. I promised that I would take you diving remember? Cuz, you don't know how."

"But what if I get us hurt? Or mess up?" he said looking at me in a concerned way.

"Just hold on to me and you'll be fine." I took out a gun, and shot it in the air. A rope came out of the end with a hook and stuck to the top of the building. I pushed the button and it started to fling me up towards it. Dusk jumped on me not wanting to be left behind. We are now on the top of the building. Dusk looked down like he didn't want to do this.

"Okay, now I'm really scared." he said stepping back away from the edge.

I walked over to him. "You won't be." I kissed him on the lips and he wrapped his arms around me and started to pull me inside his mouth. I pushed off of the ground real hard and threw us off the building.

"That was dirty." he yelled at me while holding on tight to my body while falling. I pushed him away from me so he could dive on his own. He was just falling, watching me dance around in the air, twirling and spinning. He started copying me and we were in synch with each other. Our turns matched perfectly and were falling at the same speed. It really is a wonder to free dive off of a building.

We landed on a low building after rebounding off of the taller ones. Running along the top of the building, I got a great surge of pain through my body. It felt like being stabbed by a thousand daggers all over your body. I doubled over in pain trying to figure out what it was. Something started to grow out from my tail bone. I reached back to feel what it was, and the idea shocked me. I had grown a wolf's tail. My head suddenly felt like it was splitting apart. My fang teeth grew so that they could be noticed if I were to open my mouth. My transformation was happening too fast, and too soon. I wasn't sure that I was ready for it.
