Weird pet….Pets?
Chapter 2
Nita risked a glance at the new comer, every fibber in her being screamed for her to run away; yet her feet seemed firmly rooted to the ground. The girl's red hair gleamed in the sun as she slowly stepped out of the sphere and began to walk towards Carl. To Nita's surprise; and great relief, she saw that the girl had a few things the Lone Power didn't have; Several stripes of blonde hair glowed against the red gold locks, her features were sweet, innocent, and her eyes had a soft gleam in them, one of love and compassion. Carl lifted the girl up onto what was left of the backyard and smiled, though his smile seems rather forced. "Aura I presume?"
Aura smiled and nodded vigorously, Carl reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece of wizardry, its symbols numerous. "And where is Wulf, Shadow, or Raven?" Tom glanced down into the crater and cleared his throat, Carl leaned over and his jaw dropped. Nita jumped in surprise as a hand tapped her on the shoulder, she turned to see Kit standing mouth agape. His attention was immediately transferred to Ponch's tugging at his leash. Nita turned and stifled a scream, there rising up from the crater was a monster; it had to be at least ten feet tall, it's body one massive shadow in the shape of a werewolf. Only two ice blue eyes gleamed from within the darkness.
Aura raced to the creature and threw her arms around its waist; she turned back to Carl and nodded towards the beast. Visibly shaken Carl nodded and gestured towards the house, Aura began to investigate her new surroundings while Wulf and Ponch growled at each other. Carl and Tom spoke softly together, their backs turned to the others, Nita walked up beside Aura, No sense in being rude, right Kit? Kit nodded gravely and cleared his throat, only to leap back as a dandelion was thrust nearly half way up his nose. Aura began to giggle shyly, and handed the bogey weed to Nita, Kit rubbed his nose and went to pry Wulf and Ponch away from each other.
Nita turned back to Aura; who was now in the process of digging up half the lawn! Nita shouted for Tom and Carl, who struggled to pull a rather reluctant Aura out of a dirt mound. "SO' Nita began "Where are Raven and shadow?" Aura seemed rather startled by her question, but saw Wulf and relaxed, she whistled twice and Nita gasped. Wulf's body began to change, first it became smaller, and then it grew wings and flew over to Aura. Aura stroked Raven's wing tips and whistled again, only once, Raven began to change, his figure flattened and sank to the ground, attaching with Aura's feet. Nita smiled in amazement and wonder, Shadow lifted off the ground and sniffed Nita's jeans curiously, then changed back into Wulf.
"Sorry about him, he's just as amazed by your world as I am. Please what is your name?" Aura's voice sounded like bells chiming in harmony. "Nita, but you can call me Neets if you like" Aura smiled and glanced upward. Her blue eyes reflected every cloud in the sky, "And that one, who is he?" She pointed towards Kit. Nita smiled, "He is Kit. Will you be staying here long?" Aura smiled and gazed back into Nita's eyes; "No I'm due to become a power in a few weeks."
