Me: YEAHHH! THE LAST CHAPTER IS UP! YAY FOR ME!
Gale: You don't like writing our story? -goes into emo corner-
Me: It's more like the thrill of finishing something!
Dawn: Ok...
Me: YALL BETTER APPRECIATE IT! 2,190 words! I spent almost all day on this!
Selene: NekoDoodle don't own Harry Potter... and maybe I should just call her 'Idiot of the many usernames'
Dustyn gave a minute groan. Her currently blue tinted eyes took in her sleeve. She could guess that the sleeve was a of the shade caliber 'royal blue'. She took in the crevices and hills created by the loose cloth.
Yes Dustyn Aeront was so bored that her sleeve was more interesting than learning about the 'fascinating' subject of Krup's.
She felt tired. It was caused by boredom. She had actually managed to pay attention to the last 'Krup lecture'.
A slow sensation of her eye lids dropping overcame her.
I found myself by a tree. It was the same tree that has been here for a year. A little shrimpy and bushy, but still a tree. Now come to think of it 'Why am I by a tree?'
I shook my head. My light eyes screwed up in concentration of attempting to figure out why I was here. My pale skin from the full moon a week a woke stretched.
I felt my feet move. 'Why are my feet moving?' 'I didn't tell myself to move.'
My feet kept moving. 'I think I'm walking someplace.' 'It's familiar.'
I could literally feel my eyes widen. Cara was leaning over a place of mush a few inches away from her. Her eyes were screwed shut in pain. The cinnamon almost wavy hair of hers spooling over her face and appendages.
I was revolted. Not by Cara, but by the stench. Holy ouch, what has that girl been eating?
Cara swiveled around to look at me 'Again why does this seem so familiar!?'
I could feel seriousness border through my features. 'Well I am a little bit of trying to figure out what's happening.'
"What?" I asked her, I guess you could say that there was so much that could mean.
"Eh?" Cara asked me. It was odd, the way she talked. 'Why is she keeping her mouth closed? And why does she look like she tastes somethin' foul?'
"What happened?" I clarified, 'Gee what else can I mean by "what"?'
"What'd yah mean?" Cara asked me hurriedly. 'What do I mean? Hmmm,' I'm more than a little apprehensive and cynical about this now.
"Ahh nothin', everything smells like a basket of roses 'round a mile here." 'Wy did I just say that?' I could feel my arm move over to gesture about the murky pile
Cara's face was already flushed, but it seemed to be getting redder. 'Anymore of that red tinting and she'll look like a tomato...'
"DUSTYN LEE AERONT!" Dustyn's head snapped up faster then... then... Snape running from Shampoo!
The Next Day:
Gale breathed in fresh air. His black hair that just fell past his shoulders blew around in the wind.
A sad smile tugged at the corners of his lips. Even though he loved being up near the top of this tree. He figured it was one of the tallest pines. However he wasn't any way near the top. Although he was about 6 feet above the rest of the thick canopy of pines, a little crevice could be scene from his position.
The said crevice housed the rest of the colony. It bemused him that such a place that was so big to him down there, could seem so small up here. That simple yet astounding fact bemused him just as much, as the fact he was so sad today.
He tugged nervously at the collar of his dark blue pea style coat. The foamy material was a welcoming softness under his fingers. Worry crossed his dark brown eyes.
Why did he feel so sad? Nothing had happened that was bad per-say recently... No it was more like a feeling of trepidation, a caution for things to come.
An hour later:
"Hey Adela!" I whipped around. I could feel my heart sing. The familiar straw colored hair glinting in the golden light.
"Hey Mark!" I answered him. He was standing in front of me. I could feel him lightly gasping for breath from running that fast.
He wiped a hand across his forehead and gave me a cheerful grin. His skin was a rare almost tan. Though of course like always, it wouldn't last. Considering after the full moon we always ended up looking like the walking dead.
"Wanna go out?" Mark asked me cheerfully. I could feel my mouth gasp in shock.
"Uh? Addie?" Mark asked me. I was just standing there numb with shock. My pale blue eyes the size of saucer surrounded by my platinum blonde hair.
"Adela?" Mark was practically begging me to figure out if I was ok. He even stuck his hand on my forehead to feel my temperature.
"You're a little red! Do I need to take you into Kaylin?" He almost shouted panicking. His own face which had gotten slightly flushed from running was now flushed with panic.
"Uh-uh-uh..."
"Adela!?" He shouted when I made that not so intelligent answer.
"Wh-wh-why?" I stuttered out.
"Errrr..." It was Mark's time be completely unintelligent. Not that he was the smartest male or person in the universe. Or the dumbest either.
"Cause, cause, cause ca-cause." He sounded like a record which had a line in it causing it to repeat over and over.
I all of a sudden squinted, my head coming back. 'Ok breath and answer.'
"Where are we supposed to go?" I managed to squeak out.
Mark all of a sudden smacked his face hissing, "Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!"
Adela groaned, 'Wha—oh yeah I fell asleep on the grass.' Her eyes drifted open, the took in the tendrils of clouds that floated through the merry blue sky.
Few Minutes Later:
"Hi."
"Ahh!" I shouted turning around, surprised I didn't smell whoever the heck it was. But then again I'm the only one who really hasn't gotten any wolf like attributes so that's a null.
"Jess are you trying to give me a heart attack!?"
"No..." The brown haired teen/man mumbled.
"So what did you want?" I asked haughtily, my hands folded across my sweater to guard myself from the wind.
"I was just wondering if you knew that everyone's birthday here was before Fall..."
"You almost scared me to death to tell me that!?" I shouted arching my fist back at him. Forget what I said about not getting any wolf attributes...
Ande's head snapped up from the table. She was in the 'inn'. It was basically where most of the homes for the new werewolves, the 'office' of the current leader of the 'pack' and where most ate.
"Ande you alrigh'?" was a nervous voice.
Ande turned her head, yep. Jack pot. Melgin Riah. Same messy uncontrollable brown hair, abnormal even for a werewolf shadows underneath her hazel eyes. The only thing that was wrong was... that the next to no talent witch was being polite. Of course that sent little red flags off in Ande's head.
"Melgin that is you right?" Ande asked cautiously, something didn't sound right.
"Uhh, I think no one in there right minds would bother being me..." Melgin muttered. Though it wasn't really a mutter seems how Ande could pick out what was being said.
"Are you insulting my intelligence?" Ande hissed quietly at the girl who was fiddling with her pockets.
Melgin looked up in a confused manner. Her eyes held a glassy look to them, though it appeared she was acting. "What intelligence?"
Ande shook her head, never mind about that. Melgin had a point. Besides no one would say that too her. Whilst she lacked any main muscle power, she was quite able to bite someone's head off via lecture. Melgin was just the only person who didn't really pay much heed to the danger of the mighty 'Ande'.
Whilst the 'mighty' was overkill, still wasn't a good idea to get her angry at you. When the world ends, it'd still be a bad idea. Unless the world was getting attacked at Martians or random Martians arrived and you told them some how that insulting her intelligence however way was a 'peace sign'.
A Few Minutes Later:
I laid against a random tree. It was pleasantly quiet. 'Gale, Cara, and Dawn must be asleep then.'
I smelled someone, it as Remus? 'I wonder what he's doing.'
Deciding that it'd be nice to investigate, I stood up. Not that I knew really why, but it seemed like a good idea.
I followed the scent.
Soon I was by the lake outside the colony. The green water flowed out like a large mirror when I looked down.
When I feel something/someone grab my leg and pull me into the shallow depths.
Selene jerked her head up from the paper she had been reading. It contained excuses from Ada and Ace about how they couldn't have possibly been the people who had pulled pranks. Try filling Dawn's room with feathers. Which is considering the fact that Dawn was allergic to feathers and for some reason gets 'feather happy' as in a 'feather high' off of them. It was ghastly.
She rubbed a hand against her eyelid. That was the start of many 'fights' between her and Remus. Eventually Jess hung mistletoe above Selene's head... when Remus was the closest person standing by her.
Melgin who had been 10 at the time commented about the fact that she never knew such a shade of red existed.
"Hmm," Selene groaned out opening her stormy sea blue/gray eyes. She almost lavished thinking about the past. Maybe it was because no one could ever smile the same after all that had happened.
She all of a sudden felt nauseas. She bolted towards the bathroom and vomited into the porcelain toilet.
Selene breathed heavily, her hands on either side on the ground.
"Shit." She exclaimed at the mess before she flushed it down. 'This is the 10 time this week. If this keeps happening I'll have to tell someone.'
Jessie glared at Tim,
"Why am I following you're orders, shrimp?"
Tim ignored the comment about his relatively small size.
"Cara moved into one of these apartments in this general area, and you visit her a lot, even more than Dustyn." He deadpanned his short curly hair in contrast; to Jess's shaggy rather lengthy (for a guy) hair.
"Ok, ok. She lives over there." He pointed at the 2nd up window to a building a ways down.
Jess folded his arms as Tim ran off to check on her. His shoes making 'fffa' sounds on the dirt road, one of the signs that this was a new addition to the colony. Jess privately figured that Melgin, Ada, and Ace would end up cobblestoneing this area after they pulled a prank.
"JESS! COME QUICK!" Was the shout from Tim.
He was there fast enough for government work, of course some Governments weren't all that good... let's get on with the story.
Anyhoo Tim was pointing at a piece of paper with a leather necklace strap with a metalic/silver ring with a blue stone set in it. The ring was a classic simple oval style. But if Jess's memory served him right... Gale had given that ring to her as a sort of marriage proposal. Remus and Selene had started that. Seems how once every Spring a random group of sellers do a stupid thing and treck through the forest and sell various goods.
One of the times about a couple years ago, Remus had given Selene a ring threaded through a leather strap.
Wait that meant, if Cara left it...
"Look at the note!" Tim ordered.
And for once Jess didn't make any comments about being ordered around by someone shorter and younger than him and looked.
I know this isn't an excuse, and I know most of you won't care. After all, Jess was the only one who's noticed my state of mind. I know Jess is going to be the one to find this. He always does. I want Gale to know that I'm disappointed in him, if he had truly cared about me as he's said he does, he would've noticed. He would've noticed my change. He had know me more than a year before it happened. Yet only one of you, the one person who really hadn't paid any attention to me before I changed noticed. If that person hadn't been m y support for these three years, then I would've already left. Don't think it is because I didn't want to die. I did, but as you all should know. The wolf doesn't allow me to ignore my survival instinct. Hence forth making it impossible for me to kill myself. I've tried, and been unable to. I'm leaving, leaving this so called 'colony'. You can expect to never find me. I am sorry for leaving Jess. But I know he can manage with out me. Oh and whilst you guys are at it being shocked, I'd like to intone that Harrison hasn't been feeling all to well recently.
With no regrets,
Cara
A while away:
"I had to do this, I had to." Was the strong voice before the shadow moved. Disappearing through the trees.
