Chapter 5
"Rita I said u could come but I didn't know you'd be this annoying" I said in my mind I knew she could hear me though.
"To bad your stuck with me now."
Go faster I yelled at myself she's fast but you're so much faster much faster
"hey I heard that "she said
"good for you. There's a lake up ahead let's get a drink" I said.
We looked at each other when we got there. We just took down two deer one for each of us.
I could see myself the way she saw me white fur blood stained and dirty as if I were a small child that had been rolling in the mud.
She looked almost exactly the same except her fur was brown now so no one could tell about the mud in her fur.
We both bent down as if we were bowing and drank. The cold water felt good. Then there was a sound of a small branch being cracked under something or someone's foot.
"Please tell me that was you" Rita said.
"No but do you hear that" there was someone panting and they weren't too far away either.
"Joanna"
"yeah"
"RUN" Rita yelled so loud it hurt my head.
We ran… we ran faster than we ever ran before and I heard a gunshot that I knew Rita it heard to and light running footsteps behind us.
" Oh crap Rita they have a gun"
" I know that I'm not deaf"
"Rita I'm so scared"
"don't be it will only slow you down".
Good advice I just concentrated in my running, and then another gunshot was fired this time it didn't miss.
"RITA…..Rita I've been hit
" too late she must have gone to a monkey or a cheetah to get there faster or something.
Pain swelled up in my leg.
Oh hell ….. Marie had been right someone knew we were here that we were, but why would they want us we had done nothing wrong.
I can understand someone wanting to shoot cousin Ash or maybe our like fifteenth cousin once removed Quinn what with their reputation with humans and Isis knows what else they've done in the past.
But us we were the good kind we obeyed by the laws of both human and night world – sometimes. There were…. Well…exceptions for both- what was so bad about us that someone would want to kill us.
My leg was starting to go human again… oh no please not this no this isn't fair I thought.
When I was a little girl I had gotten into the knife drawer and cut my hand on a silver knife. Isis knows why we had one. But whenever I phased my hand wouldn't phase with me I thought it was quite interesting until it started to get in the way of my running…but now my hand goes when I do.
Oh please Arteimis Goddess of the hunt please let my cousins or anyone except that thing that shot me find me.
There were four surprising things happened then. One someone did find me….Two it wasn't my cousins…. Three he looked like me in a young man form…four he knew my name.
"Oh are you Joanna" I nodded my large head "My names David" he said solemnly.
I forced a puzzled look across my face. He didn't have a gun so he couldn't of been the one who shot me.
"Joanna" I swear his eyes were wet "Joanna it's such a pretty name".
What the hell I did not see that coming did I know this man
"Joanna" he bent down and kept petting me and saying my name.
I was so close to biting this guy until he said the first words after the thousands of other times he'd said Joanna "Joanna I'm your brother".
My eyes widened at that and then I realized why he'd looked so much like me he's me twin brother my real life little brother. The one in all the stories the boy with no name. You have a name now my brother don't you.
David.
I put my head in his lap and cried big tears of a wolf and he sobbed short tears of a human boy.
We cried and we cried together we cried as twins as brother and sister as blood brother and sister, and we just sat there and cried for hours until he said.
"We should probably get you home and try to get your leg fixed."
