Control 2

The next morning, she exited her room, walking quiet fast to go and hunt in the woods that surrounded sanctuary. Brennan watched her as she snuck out, but didn't follow her. At times, every one needed time to them selves. Besides, if she caught him following her, he might become the hunted.

He went to the kitchen, where Jesse was sitting on the couch, stuffing his face with something Emma had made the day before. it was some thing sweet, and it was delicious...but he wasn't in the mood for it.

He opened the fridge, trying not to distract Jess from the film he was watching. But he seemed to fail in his task.

" Hey Brennan? where's Shal?"

Brennan shrugged, keeping his head inside the fridge, " Don't know...she went out I think?" He heard Jesse sigh from where he was sitting. " She still the same then?". But the emotion in his voice said he was sad that Shal was still going through her...change. He too had saw how Shalimar some times struggled to contain the feral in her. He really wanted to help her, they all did, but she had started to block them all out, since she nearly bit his head off two days ago.

two days ago

Brennan was in the dojo, doing a routine work out, unknown to him, Shalimar had been watching.

Jesse was walking through the main area of sanctuary with Emma, both chattering away about a new mutant who had just came into the underground...and she'd chatted Jesse up. Emma was teasing him about it, and he just made it worse when she mentioned it, his cheeks went bright with red.

Jesse turned to Shalimar who was sitting with a book on the top of her knees, but was pointed in Brennan's direction.
" Hey Shal...you ok?...you look a bit tired". She looked up at him and tried to smile, but her mood had suddenly shifted now some one had broke her concentration on a certain thing.

" Ye...I didn't get much rest last night..." Jesse smiled, " Maybe Em, can help you out. it would at least get her off my back for a few minutes".

Shal shrugged, not really looking at him or Emma. She tried to look at her book, but Jesse's voice came through again. She lent her head back against the wall, the heat in sanctuary at the moment felt like it was strangling her. She sighed deep, slightly annoyed now Jesse was constantly bugging her.

" Shal...are you sure your fine...maybe Adam should give you a check up-" "-JESS, Jess. I'm fine...just a bit over hot and I'm in a bad mood so...please don't aggravate me more".

Jesse fell silent at her sudden out burst. Emma looked at him and tried to tug him away before any thing could kick off.

Brennan had stopped his work out because of the out burst from her and turned to see what was up. In seeing this Shalimar got up with a huff and started to walk towards her room. Jesse shook his head and went after her, determined to cheer up the person that was like a sister to him.

" Shal...I'm sorry. but what's wrong?"

She swung round, her eyes golden now. " WHAT'S WRONG IS THAT YOU KEEP ASKING ME THAT JESS! I TOLD YOU I'M FINE". with that she stormed off out of sanctuary.

Hours later she came back drenched since it had been raining. Brennan was the first one to see her and froze when he did. She was shivering, and he misinterpreted it for her being cold.

" Owe Shal...why didn't you come back when it started to rain...god, here". He took his jacket off and hung it over her shoulders, rubbing her arms to try and get her to warm up. He felt her head and fear roared in his gut when it was burning. " Shal...your head's burning-" Before he could finish she grabbed the collar of his shirt with a vice grip and pulled him close to her. When he saw her eyes were still golden he started to feel panic slowly sink its teeth into his nerves.

" Shal...what are you doing", she looked up at him, her grip tightening as her eyes seems to shimmer for a second.

He didn't know what she was gonna do, " Shal...take control, you need to get con-" before finishing a low growl silenced him. and it seemed that was why she had done it...to make him shut up.

She leaned close for a second, as if looking deep into him...and then, in a flash she pushed him back and did a full sprint for her room, where the last he heard from her was the slamming of her door.

Shalimar's thoughts

why can't I control this side of me

some thing that rages with me to be free.

slowly it's taking over my action

building up this tension.

I fear the day I lose my control

I fear then I will be trapped in its hole.

Hidden underneath the surface of it

slowly disappearing bit by bit.

keep enjoying it guys. reply please.
