Melvin had ordered me inside. I paced endlessly on the ground, turning human when i knew it night time was half over. I slumped onto the big bed, placing my hands over my eyes. I just got accepted by someone, just to learn two days after that I'm not accepted, that it was all an order. I glanced at the shaded window. No, if I ran now, then they would never give me a chance. I would be hunted down and killed. I looked at the door, no Melvin told me to go inside for a reason. I got up again and walked to the window.
i touched one of the boards and saw it wither away. If it once had life, I can still control it. I smirked and touched another, then the last. the window shined moonlight on my face. I started to laugh as I changed. I welcomed the sight of my tail. My ears growing up, my mouth changing. I howled, and started to chase my tail. I heard the door creak, but I was determined to catch the fluffiness.
"Ryou?" It was a hesitant call from outside. I stopped and laid down on my back, panting happily.
"Yes?" I called out. I saw Marik pad into the room.
"I heard umm... howling?" Marik asked, searching for the word.
"Why yes, yes you did. That was me, because I'm fine, no, I'm happy! say whats the word on me?" I asked him. He glanced at me with a mixture of fear and worry.
"Have you lost it Ryou? Oh god Ra, did you crack?" His voice had fear, a lot of it.
"No, but have you heard on whether i stay here, or if they will kill me?" I bent my head the farthest it would go to improve my point.
"Ryou, we would never hurt you, and... you can stay," Marik breathed out the last part. It was true, but it was kinda difficult to say to a person that thinks your friendship was an order. Ryou waged his tail causing a thump thump. Marik didn't ask about the window.
I got back up and stretched. Controlling death made me happy for some reason, and then you feel tired. I walked up to the top of the bed and curled up to sleep, hearing the faint door close as Marik left the cabin.
When i woke up, I was human, and in Melvin's arms. I yawned then untangled myself from Melvin and stretched. It felt good to be human again. I groggily walked up to the fridge, the large steel box holding my food. Fruits upon fruits were still in the bags. I looked in the draws were we kept the carrots, lettuce, and all those good stuff. I picked up a cabbage and bit down, enjoying the taste. These were hard to find in the wild.
Melvin stirred in the bed. I moved to sit at the small table and kept eating. I enjoyed the sunshine on my back, warming it. Melvin got up and stretched, smacking his lip.
"'Mourning," I called out when I swallowed the food in my mouth. Melvin turned to look at me and smiled. I took another bite, now half finished. I wanted to eat as fast as i could to go back to bed. I was up for most of the night, and the night before. I didn't get much sleep. Melvin wrapped his arms around my neck.
"So, what are we doing today, little pup?" He asked. I shrugged, causing Melvin to drop his arms.
"I'm going to be in bed, I'm tired, I've barely slept and I-" I couldn't finish my sentence as Melvin kissed me.
"You go to bed, you'll do something more the sleep," He said with a smirk as he pulled away from me, causing me to blush. He gently cupped my face and edged my up towards the bed. I stayed where I was.
"Melvin, why did you tell the others in the pack to be kind to me?" I asked, still hurt a little.
"Ryou, I wanted them to give you a chance. They trust no one, do you know how long it took the to except a vampire in their mists? Yami has only been here for a hundred years, and they still watch him closely."
"Well, why are people after you, the witches and the demons? What did you do?" I responded, I wanted to know, and I had a right to know.
"Ryou, there are answers you don't want to know," He told me so gently, I almost believed it.
"Melvin, I'm your mate, and I demand to know!" I almost shouted at him. He flinched.
"Ryou, trust me," He was pleading, no begging.
"How can I? Are you going to keep everything from me?" I was mad. I felt tears rising from my eyes. Melvin took a step back, giving me room.
"No, Ryou, i-"
"Melvin, just get out, I want to be alone," I snapped at him, not letting him apoligise. He walked out the door, obeying me. I sighed and walked to the bed. I fell asleep curled up without Melvin.
I was sitting on a stool outside our cabin. How dare he, a little runt, order me out of my own house? I shook my head. I needed him. He said he could control life. He must be powerful. I remembered last night. I had fought to keep the rest of the pack together.
