I have a teddy bear that smells like strawberries.
Merry Christmas!

~Jack's Point Of View~
Tossing and turning. I can't get it out. It won't leave my thoughts. It's still here, right in front of me. Never leaving. All I see is Kim swimming towards a pirate ship, her tail flapping back behind her. She caresses herself onto a rock nearby trying to get their attention by her beautiful looks. A sailor catches her in sight then gets the captain. The captain's eyes glitter like he is in love. Not if I was there that's for sure. I'd give him a good punch in the face, of course in my werewolf form. I would break my hand if I wouldn't. Okay I know over protective back to the dream. He orders his sea mates to sail closer. Once they get close enough he gets into a small sail boat to her. When they are about to kiss Kim's teeth grow sharp like knives and kills him by ripping his head off. Red blood defigures her face. Maybe it's because I remember her of when she was nice and sweet, not anything like this. Before the boat can sail away Kim manages to scramble onto the boat to eat everyone. The last second Kim notices that I'm watching and pounces at me.
This is when I jump up into siting position scared, not for me, for her. I look over at Kim. Peacefully sleeping only in her shirt-the pants disappeared-, not even knowing what really happened earlier today. The sky is black, a Gibbous moon so close to turning full. That makes me shiver. I'm not even close to the lake.
The lake.
I scramble on my hands and knees to see. It's purple/blue under the night sky making the lake look….magical. Weird. Never thought I would think that. My fingertips float above the water like those insects that can bend water. It runs chills up my body, I flinch away. "Anderson what are you-" She cuts herself off. I turn around to see her looking at the scaly tail that hides her legs. "What the f***!" She screams. Crows fly away into the distance and a howl calls to another. "Oh shit." I swoop Kim up quickly to burrow ourselves deeper in this like thing cave. "Let me down!" She struggles to get loose. "Sh." I whisper/scream. When were finally in the back of the cave I set her down. "Why did you take me here?" She yells. I sit down next to her to explain. "And why do I have a-"
I grab her face and kiss her quickly to make her shut up.
"That was to make shut up wasn't it?" "Yep." "Thanks. I needed that." She pushes me by her shoulder. I shove her shoulder too. "This can't get any worse can it?" She looks at her tail then me, her face scarred and scratched from me running so quickly through the narrow strip that connects here to where we were. I lick my thumb then wipe it on the scar on her cheek. "Ew gross what are you doing?" She leans away as far as she can, which isn't much since her tail has her stuck together. "Haven't you even heard that when dogs lick your scars they heal faster?" "Yes. So you're going to lick me?" She says the words individually making me think about it. That makes my face blush a light pink. "Doesn't that sound a little weird. We've only been dating for a few months now. Not even dating more like-"
"No not like that. I mean I'll lick my thumb then I'll do this." My thumb runs up the scar ever so gently. Kim's mouth curves a small smile. I start again on another scar, then another then another. "You have a couple scars on you too." "Really where?" "Where I haven't kissed since yesterday." Before I can answer she kisses me on the lips for a long time in my opinion. When we break apart I ask "Seriously do I have scars?" She laughs which makes me laugh. "No your good." Our laugh dies down letting me remember. "Do you really think we haven't been dating?" The droplets of water on the cave walls drip in the silence. Her mouth opens to say something but then snaps it closed. "I'm afraid we aren't. I guess we are just some friends with benefits." "Cutting out all the sex." "And the dates." "And meeting the parents." I say at last. I've met Kim's parents before just not with us being a couple. And her dad is huge. Like the hulk. Just not green and has more clothes on. "Do you think our parents are worried?" Kim asks quietly. "Of course, they're our parents. Why won't they be?" I wrap my arm around her shoulders for comfort. "It's just that they haven't been paying attention lately to me sometimes so I just thought-" "That they'd leave you out in the cold?" "Bingo was his name - o."
Another howl comes again but some much closer than before. "What was that?" "Another howl. Maybe it's Randy trying to scare us." "Or it could be an actual wolf that's hungry. I bet it." "Let's just try to go to sleep."
Kim's POV:
That's just the thing. I can't sleep. I've been having nightmares about spells, witches, werewolf, vampires, mermaids, and other creatures I'm not sure what they are. All this is unbelievable. Who gives a shit? LIFE is unbelievable. How does the human race know or not that we're in a fake world? Where the real world is taken over by machines or things we didn't know existed? Jack lies down next to me but I still don't want to sleep. I have to do something first. I'm going to confront that werewolf. Whatever it takes.
