Chapter 2 – Falling
Disclamer: I DON'T OWN TWILIGHT SERIES OR CHARACTERS
A/N: Thank you for lending me your thoughts on my story. I'm having a slight dilemma on creating a 'rival' love choice for the main part of the story. It has to be a male in his late teens and I would like to borrow your character description including name, animal, eye color hair color and physical description as well as personality.
P.S: Thank you both Moyra and letsgointotwilight for reading and writing a review. I hope you enjoy the next chapter.
Murmurs of my near fatal decision filled my head as I followed my leader to the group. All my sisters were in there feline forms, their animal faces identical masks of anger. I ignored them, deciding to trot ahead of Ally and plant myself onto a shaded rock.
"Kyra…" Ally's calm voice whispered in my head, a surge of disappointment fell inside of me, mixing with the anger of my sisters. I lifted my head to look at her, trying hard to find good answers to her questions. "Why the werewolf's? Do you have any idea the danger…?"
"Of course she doesn't, Ally!" Regina McCraft replied, her snide, feline smile directed at me. If she were a few feet closer she would have lost an eye, "that's the danger of being a newborn. You should have taken my advice and let her into the deathtrap, if she lives she'd learn her lesion and if she dies…"
"ENOUGH!" growled Ally, her thick fur standing on end. Regina backed down obediently, returning to her spot. I caught the smug smile on her face and hissed.
"Kyra please tell me why you found it perfectly normal to just waltz into the wolf side of the reservation?"
I grunted and sat up, "It's a free country, and I wanted to hunt where I please"
More hissed erupted, mixing in with slurred curse words and shouts of my ignorance, Ally jogged forward until we were only inches apart, "Oh you are woefully wrong. This isn't a free country. this reservation was founded on bloodshed and split by the hate of ancient enemies. That's why we have our side and they have theirs. It's been that way since the first of both kinds set foot on the land!"
"But why are we enemies, Ally? Is there a particular reason why we can't be comrades of sorts?"
Ally laughed a choking feral laugh, "You're too young to understand the depth of which we go to keeping this treaty alive. The fact we haven't started a war is because of that treaty, we stay on our side and they on theirs. Am I clear?"
"Crystal I suppose, "I muttered. "If that all, I'm going for a hike."
"Do you need a companion?" The timid voice of my friend Alexi floated into my mind; I saw her tiny orange spotted form stand up. I shook my head, "No need for one, this is a soul searching hike." And before any could object, I was flying through the woods again.
A few miles into the woods was all it took before I felt it safe to transform into my human form. This part of the forest was unfamiliar, but friendly and bright. There were no animals nearby and it was strangely quiet as I dressed back into my human clothes. I still had good animal instincts although I was human, and no animals in a forest should have been a red flag for me, but I was also instinctively curious. A strange scent up north wafted to my nose, a familiar scent that increased my heartbeat.
It was Jacob, or another lousy wolf boy, out in the clearing. Was I feeling suicidal? Probably. Or maybe it was the curiosity, ether way I jogged towards the clearing where the wolf boy waited.
Sunlight burst sporadically from the cloud covered sky as I bounded out. My heart gave a strange leap of joy when I realized that it was Jacob. His expression softened at the sight of me.
"I'm not surprised to find you here, Kyra"
"Hey Jacob!" I nearly squealed, I must be insane if I'm happy in his company, but he didn't seem bothered.
"You are a strange girl, you know. Against all natural instinct you want to hang around me." He smiled slightly, gesturing me over to him. Yeah, like I wasn't running to him already. I panted slightly when I reached him, holding my hand out to him, "You want to be friends?" I asked.
He glared down at me, "Why do women like you torment me so much? First Bella and now you. Can't you see my pain at all?"
"Torment? Jacob I didn't mean to torment you. And what's the deal with Bella anyway, I didn't think you'd stand to love a vampire." I said, confused.
"Used to love, dummy. That connection is nothing more than friendship but still!" He looked at me with shock on his face, "I didn't even think I could feel like that again." He grabbed me by the shoulders and bent down. I wanted to flee, fearing for my own life, but something warm inside me kept me still. His beautiful face was just inches from mine, easy kissing distance if he had the mind to.
I could see something in his eyes, a complex emotion deep in his soul. "Youre no good for me, Kyra" He whispered, his hot breath covered me for a moment and them he was gone. I was left standing in the clearing.
