Achillies and I sat in the hotel room. The hard uncomfortable chairs were stiff, leaning against the undressin hotel wall paper. We stared at Nathen who was now laying on the bed. Completely out of it. "Hey, um Achillies." "Yes little wolf." "Uh...what are we gunna do with him?" "I'm...not sure." He grumbled. I really didn't know what we were going to do. There was a soft spot in me that wanted to save him. He had been turned against his will, which pissed me off. He was catholic, and couldn't commit suicide. Made me angrier. He cried because he wanted to die. Made me angriest. I leaped off of the seat, pacing around the room. "What have I done?" I groaned leaning against the wall. Sliding down to my feet. Plopping against the ground. I looked up and over to Achillies, who was now in front of me. Pulling me up. He moved back over to his chair, sitting me down in it. Pulling my hair back as I continued to groan. He sat between my legs. Looking out over at Nathen. "I donot know what we are going to do Hunter." Ugh, God. He used my real name. We were in trouble. He took off my boots, putting my legs over his shoulders. The position sounds rather awkward. But it wasn't. It made me lean back farther in my chair. To where I was looking at the ceiling, rather than gawking at the mistake I made. Currenlty lying on a cheap hotel bed. I had royally screwed myself. Not only should I go ahead and fire myself, but what had I done? I mean, I can't just TAKE him in. "Tell me I didn't just screw myself." He patted my legs. "You did not just screw yourself. You felt in your heart not to kill him. And you didn't. You have a soft spot for him. That's all." I pushed up, to only have him hold my legs tighter. The anger was rolling off my skin. Seeping through my pores. I wasn't angry at Achillies, I was angry at myself. I was foolish and careless. My mistake, my problem. Nathen wanted to die, why couldn't I just...let him? "Listen, how about I go and get some food. Do you want to go? We could lock him up inside the room while we're gone." I shook my head. "If I go he'll...I don't know, he'll kill himself somehow. Speaking of food, I am kinda hungry. Could you go anyways?" He looked up at me, leaning his head backgrounds. His soft fluffy hair rolled around his face in dark angelic curls. Smiling he put my legs down, getting up. "Sure. I will be back. Is...um...ham-the burgers okay with you?" I smiled at him. He was so cute when he wanted to. "Ham the burgers is fine." He smiled childishly. "Okay, I will be back Austa Levista!" I laid my head back. "My purse is on the conter, you can grab my money. My wallets beside the keys." He fumbled through my purse taking my keys. "I've money. I just need your car." He raised and dropped his eyebrows a couple of times before leaving. When he shut the door I stared at Nathen lying on my bed. He was so dirty. "I can at least clean you up." I mumbled, also childishly. I had wanted to save him. My mistake, my problem. I would be a grown up about it. I would deal with it. And I would be an adult while doing it. I sighed, going into the bathroom, getting my makeup bag and a hot wash cloth. Fumbling around with the zipper, I got out my nail set. Maybe I could get that grime from under his nails. I knew he must've not like it under there. It was the least I could do for not just killing him. I dropped my makeup bag back onto the sink. Sulking back into the bedroom. I ran into an angry face. Oh dear. He leared down at me with squinted eyes. "What happened, and why aren't I dead." He said, his voice was faulty calm. But the anger soiling around us like thick taffy was suffocating. "I...I couldn't kill you. I-we saved you." "Where's the other." "He's out, he'll be back." "I don't want to hurt you." I glared at him. Reaching for my Browning in my back pants. Which I had gratfully, left on me. I felt a gust of wind and I knew he was behind me. But I didn't have the Browning in my hand. Instead, I turned around, and Nathen had it. Pointed at the floor. I liked Nathen. But I didn't trust him. I only knew of what was told to me. I got up slowly. "I don't want to hurt you Nathen." He looked down at the floor. "You wanna know what the sad thing is, Ms Hunter?" I didn't answer. "The sad thing is, you can't." He looked up at me with those crying puppy eyes. The ones that screamed 'help me' and 'I'm lost'. That's what had made me want to save him. "I can help you Nathen, I can, if you let me." "No you can't Ms Hunter." "Yes I can." "Do you even know what I am?" "Werewolf." "Wrong." I didn't know what to say. He always seemed to stunn me silent. Not many could. "What are you." I asked, picking my words cautiously. "The man you spoke to, the man who changed me. And wanted you to find me. He said, no nogotiations. I want you to kill him. Did he not?" I half stood, half kneeled there for a moment. The man did say no nogototiations. He wanted Nathen dead. Period. I didn't know why. I shook my head slowly. "His wife. She came on to me. Pinning me against the wall. I told her no. She wouldn't listen. I pushed her to the floor. She laid there. I thought I hurt her. I kneeled down to her. She attacked. She bit me Ms Hunter." He said all of it so fast, I stood completely. Staring at him. The husband wanted him dead. Because of the wife. "Why." I asked. He shrugged. "I am not werewolf." I looked at it. Confused. "You smell it." "No, what you smell is some sort of Were. You weren't suspicious. I'm jaguar. Not wolf, but cat." I looked at him. I didn't know what to say. So I just said the obviouse. "What does it matter?" "It doesn't. I just wanted to let you know, so my death wouldn't be a lie." "You're not going to die." He paced around me. I didn't turn. I let him know he could talk to me without being suspicous. But oh, I was suspicious. I felt him grab me by the hips. I still didn't move. Then he threw me. Against the wall, into the front door. The right side of my back flung into the door knob. I fell immideatly to the floor. Cringing. Oh God, that one hurt. "Please, I don't want to hurt anyone." I got up slowly. I heard him sigh. "I don't want to hurt anymore." He whispered. "You don't have to. I can teach you to control it." "I'm not an alpha. I'm not an omega. I'm not a dominant. I'll die anyways. All I have to do is leave." I stood up in front of the door. His eyes were green now. Not human green, the pupil was a slit. Like a snake...no, like a cat. It had streaks of orange through it. He wasn't lying. I blinked for a moment. Looking at him. Not knowing what to say. "Let me take care of you." "No." "No, listen. I'm an omega dominant. I can be your alpha. Just let me be." He growled. "No." "Then fight me." "I don't want to." I stood up taller. My back screaming at me for making it move. He moved his eyes to my back. "You're hurting." "You threw me." "Don't make me do it again." "Do it." "No." "Do it." "No." "I order you to." I slapped him across the face. He left his head turned. Suddenly, he fell to his feet. Cradling around my legs. Rubbing his face against my thigh like a giant cat. He was crying. "What-what am I gunna do." His body shook violently. Hammering with his sobs. His face was red. And his cheeks were flushed a bright angry red. I started petting his head. I didn't know what to do for him. "I've...I have NOWHERE to go!" He screamed into my legs. He started beating on the ground with his fists. Hitting anything. He didn't hit me, but anything around us was suddenly pulverized. "Let me take care of you." I said softly. He shook his head against my legs. I felt the cloth soaked to my legs with his tears. "God oh God oh God oh God Jesus, oh God what did I do. Jesus Jesus what did I do to deserve this!" He whimered into my thighs. I picked him up by his shoulders. I was strong. Stronger than what I appeared as a woman werewolf. He was dead weight, not trying to support himself. I thrust him into me. He slowly wrapped his arms around my neck. Having to bend over to hug me. I didn't care his fingers dug into my back. I didn't care I couldn't breath. I didn't care. I just wanted him to feel happy. And if I could make that happen, I sure as hell would try.
