Chapter 3

May:

"It's a long story..."

"When I was fifteen I lost my entire family. I know shocking! I shouldn't complain to you two.
Anyway, I was supposed to be dead like them. Me and my family… We're different. Now before you jump up and run away like a mad man. Hear me out." I look at Horace and he nods.
"So my family and I are different. Shapeshifters to be exact. No I'm not a witch. Just different. My mother could shift into a deer, My father and brother into a wolf. We where hunted down because of this… A man named Cahir found us in Araluen, and he killed my parents. My brother and I ran. We hid in the forest for about a year when Cahir found us again. We where supposed to be brought back to Hibernia, but I managed to escape. I couldn't take my brother with me. He's probably dead by now. Anyway, I escaped and was on the run again. Cahir's men found me again, Yes I suck at hiding I know, they beat me up and left me for dead. That's when Gilan found me. There now you know everything. Any questions?" I ask Horace, who just looks horrified.

"Just one. Your mother was a deer, your father and brother a wolf, what are you?" He asks.
"Human. At least part. I can shift into a fox. Don't ask me why a fox I have no clue. It has something to do with personalities. I don't know." I say with a shrug. I yawn and stretch.
"I never really payed attention to what my mother had to say about this. Only the last year I got interested. I know that my dad could sort of half shift. So he would have a tail and ears, but nor become a full wolf. How he did that is something else." I yawn again.

"Sleep I'll take the first watch." Gilan says when I yawn for a third time.
"No I'm alright I can stay" Yawn. "Awake. Okay you win. I'll sleep for a while." I say. Damn those stupid yawns.

I roll up in my cloak and close my eyes, soon enough I'm asleep.

Darkness.
I'm surrounded by darkness again.
Great, just wonderful. I wonder when Daniel will show up. I look around expecting to see him. Instead I see my parents. So now they're here to torture me too? I never told Gilan but I've been having these nightmares for a while now. It's strange how clear I can think in these dreams. So far only Daniel and sometimes Cahir has showed up. Now it's my parents. I look at my mother and nearly cry. I look so much like her. Same uncontrolable red curls, same features. I only got my eyes from my father. An emerald bright green colour. They used to be so full of life. Now I'm being stared at with dead green eyes. I want to run to them, but my fathers voice stops me.
"Daniel was right. We should have left you when we went to Araluen. You're weak. You break down at the sight of your parents. We should have left you to rot." This is not my father. Where is the kind and loving man I knew? My mother opens her mouth to say something, but it's not her voice.
"May!" It sounds a lot like Will's voice.
"May! wake up! It's just a dream. May!" I look at my mother. Blue dead eyes stare back.
"May. It's not real. Just wake up."

This time it's Gilan's voice. I slowly open my eyes, and sit up. Three faces are staring at me. Gilan is right in front of me, Will and Horace are behind him. When Gilan sees I'm awake he hugs me.
"It'll be okay, May." He says. I put my arms around him.
"It's not okay. It never will be. My parents and Daniel are right. I am weak." I say. I don't care anymore that they're here. I just want everything to be over.

"No May." Will says. "You are not weak. You're strong. You managed to survive alone with your brother for a year. You didn't have anything, but you still survived. When we where at the ruins with the Kalkara. You went to them. You didn't run. You fought! You're not weak." I look at him, then st Horace, and Gilan. I get up and say.

"Can I take the next whatch? I'm not going to sleep anyway." Without an answer I get up and walk into the woods. I shift into my fox form and run.

Gilan:

I stand and watch May leave. Within seconds she's gone.
"What was that all about?" Horace asks.
"She's been haveing nightmares." I say. "Ever since we got back after the Kalkara thing. She usually wakes up on her own, but lately she won't." I sigh. She won't tell me what they're about either. She once mumbled something about her family, but that's it.

"So, what do we do now?" Will asks.
"You two are going to sleep. I'm going to try and find her." I say.
"Try and find her?" Horace says.
"She's very tricky in hiding her tracks. So yeah, Try." Will shrugs and lies down. Shortly after that Horace follows.

I look around and go to where May disappeared. Now here comes the tricky part. If I'm lucky she stayed human and if I'm not… Then it'll be a lot more difficult to find her. I keep walking untill her tracks end.

I'm not lucky. Eventually I find a pair of fox tracks. May's smart, but I found out how she 'disappears' a while ago. Anyone else would've lost her. after a while of following tracks I find a small fox sitting in a clearing. It's staring at the moon. I walk up to it and sit besides it.

"You know you can talk to me right?" I tell the fox. It just keeps staring at the moon.
"I know these nightmares have been going on for a while." The head of the fox sharply turns to look at me.
"Oh so now I have your attention?" I laugh a little. I swear the fox just rolled it's eyes. It stares back at the moon.
"May I know that's you. I've never seen a fox who stays calm when any stranger sits beside it. Foxes tend to run off. But hey, you did that so..." I look up to the moon like her.

"I did not run of!" May says. I turn my head to see her instead of the fox.
"Oh hello there. I didn't know you where here. Where did the little fox go." She scoffs and looks away.
"How long have you known?" She asks.
"Since we got back from Redmont." I admit.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I'm just scared." She says. I put my arm around her to comfort her.
"It's okay. I'm here for you. Whatever it is that keeps you up at night I'm sure it'll be alright." She rests her head on my shoulder.
"I hope so."

After a while I look down to see her asleep. I pick her up and walk back to camp. When I get there, I see Will still awake staring into the fire, that surprizingly is till awake. I carefully put her down and go to Will.
"Why are you awake?" I ask him.
"Couldn't sleep." He says.
"Is she okay?" I shake my head.
"I don't know." There's a short comfortable silence.
"Why don't you take the next watch. Wake Horace up four three hours before dawn." Will nods.
"Good idea. I'll see you in the morning Gilan." He says before he gets up.
I get comfortable and go to sleep. Maybe tomorrow'll be better...
