"Himeko you're sure about this right?" I asked, as she finally fished treating my wounds.
Which were deeper then I had thought they were.
"Yes I'm sure…why is something wrong?" Himeko asked, as she was soon sitting right next to me on her bed once again.
"There's nothing wrong…believe me I've been waiting for the day you agree to run away with me, but…" I stopped and lowered my head to her.
"For me to turn you I'll have to leave your side…for a whole week." I calmly spoke, as I waited for her to speak.
"Why?" She asked in her soft voice.
"Because I've been human for to long…you saw how long it took for me to change today. That's never happened before…for me to turn you I'd have to be in my wolf form and I would have to regain all my wolf instincts that I have lost. Besides I think it's time I tell you the reason that my bloodline or never in battles with humans." I stopped, as I let out a soft sigh.
I could feel Himeko's kind eyes on me as she waited for me to explain.
"Our bloodline are great fighters and can normally kill other wolves with ease…but humans are different. We are not aloud to bite them because if we do then…we will turn them. There was only one time that a wolf ever tried to turn a human and sadly it also happens to be our origins." I stopped, as I slowly lifted my head to see if my Himeko understood everything.
"Can you tell me the story please…I'm afraid my father hated any talk of wolves. That is until you came to live with us." Himeko warmly smiled, as I returned it with a light smile of my own.
"It was many years ago back when the world was still being made. A young wolf wondered away from their pack and young pup, and ended up meeting a human from a nearby family. The wolf soon became interested in the unknown creature and decided not to leave their side. After all the wolf felt the need to stay and protect the human and so it never returned to its pack. After a while of being together the wolf started to fall for the human and the human was also falling for the wolf. The young wolf had heard storied of turning humans into wolves just by biting them, so after asking the human for permission. The young wolf bit the human and waited to see what their human would look like as a wolf, as one of us. But sadly it did not go as plan. The human soon became very ill and sadly died from the illness. The wolf was so grief stricken by what they had done that it soon died just as painfully, as its human lover. Sadly the young pup that it left behind was without a parent and was no longer with the pack. The pup was out searching for its parent and was now all alone. The gods took pity on the young pup and gave it the gift of changing into the very thing its parent tried to change. That pup turned into a human and was soon found by a human family and raised as one of them. The gods didn't realize that by giving the young pup the gift that they had also passed on the ability to change a human to wolf. Although after the moon goddess her self told the pack and the pup what had happened no one ever wanted to try such a thing. So the pup lived and had children passing their bloodline and gift all the way to me and my family." I stopped, as Himeko just looked surprised.
"So did you like it?" I asked with a smile.
I felt that maybe it was time to try and not act, so serous.
"That was a sad story…but if that human died. Then does that mean that I'll die too?" Himeko asked.
As I went and whipped her tears that were slowly moving down her checks.
"No. You're not like normal humans and even though I'm not really sure what your power is. I know it has something to do with my kind and that'll help you. But I do not know for sure…That's way I want you to be sure about this Himeko." I went and wrapped my arms around her and held her in a tight embrace.
"I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I was the one who took your life. So please you have to be sure that this is what you want…please." I whispered; as I felt Himeko's tear filled face nuzzle against my neck.
"I'm sure…I'm sure Chikane." Himeko whispered into my ear, as I tightened my embrace.
Later. Night.
I was at the entrance to my woods, as I looked over at Himeko who was staring out her window at me. I waved to her and smiled trying to let her know that this will be over soon, as she returned my wave and smile. I forced myself to turn away from her and started running into my woods as fast, as I could. The memory of what I told my mate before leaving still fresh in my mind.
("I'll be gone till the end of this week so please wait for me here do not leave your room. When the end of the week comes I'll go to you window and howl that's when we'll leave." My Himeko nodded, as I hated making her look so sad. I went and gentle lifted her head and kissed her warm lips, as I soon felt her return my kiss. I slowly pulled away and lightly smiled. "I promise I'll be back on that day, so please be safe and careful until I come back.")
'Himeko…please be alright until this is all over.' I thought, as I kept running.
I was trying to change, but I was having a hard time with it.
'Dammit! What's wrong with me?!' I cursed myself, as I slowly stopped and saw a cave nearby.
I headed for it and hoped that if I just sat down and concentrate really hard that I would return to my wolf form. Once I was inside the small cave I sat down and closed my eyes, as I was remembering what I looked like as a wolf.
I was to far away from the palace now to know what was going on.
Meanwhile.
"The palace is under attack! Everyone get to your posts now!" A guard yelled.
'Under attack?' Himeko thought, as she listen to see what was going on and who was attacking.
"Those stupid animals are attacking my palace! They all must really want to die!" Himeko froze, as her father's angry voice yelled.
'Wolves…wolves are attacking us?' She thought, as she remembered what her love had said.
So she decided to stay right were she was, as she kept listening to what was going on.
A knock on her door scared her, as she was curled up on her bed. After hearing the painful screams of the guards and the howls of the wolves. Himeko was now wishing that her lover was at her side.
"Princess please open up I was sent by your mother to make sure you are alright." A male voice calmly said, as Himeko slowly rose and got out of her bed.
She went to the door and slowly opened it and peeked her head out.
"Good you look alright…May I come in? I'm here to protect you until the wolves are either killed or scared away." Himeko was looking into his cold golden eyes, as he was wearing the guards outfit.
His skin was tanned meaning he was probably one of the guards who worked outside, but she had never seen him before.
"Please princess I'm under orders from your mother. I have to obey them."
'His voice is calm, but…..I feel afraid of him.' she thought, as she lowered her head.
"I'm alright…I'll be fine. Please go and let my mother know." She softly spoke, as she was going to close the door.
She stopped when she felt that the door was being pushed opened again.
"I'm sorry princess, but I can't do that…after all my brother and I have been waiting for the two of you to be alone and separated. Now then." His voice was colder now, as he forced open the door making Himeko back away.
He entered and quickly closed the door behind him making sure he locked it, as he looked at Himeko with those cold eyes of his.
"Now then princess how about we have some fun while my little brother tried to capture your beloved wolf." He evilly smirked, as he started to move closer to Himeko.
Meanwhile.
"So it looks like you're having trouble with turning back." I quickly opened my eyes and stood up.
I growled, as I glared at the man who was now standing in the cave I had been in.
"Girochi…why are you here?!" He smirked, as he walked over to me until he was only inches away.
"I'm here to claim you as my mate I said I would didn't I." He coldly spoke, as his cold golden eyes were looking right into my cold royal blue eyes.
"Sorry but I already have a mate." I growled, as he went and placed his huge hand against my check.
"O I know about that…it's that stupid girl from before right. Well don't worry once I'm done with you you'll never want her again. Besides my big bro is probably taking what you haven't away from that stupid human, and trust me I know you haven't because you still small so pure." I pulled away from him, as I heard him lightly laugh.
"My brother likes to play with humans, but I think this is his first princess. I bet he wont be so gentle…I'd really hate to be her right now."
"Bastard!" I growled.
I felt my blood boiling, as I saw him smirk.
"Good girl. Hurry and change back into your wolf form. After all I don't really want you as a human, it's your wolf self that I've fallen for." I growled, as I was trying to change but nothing was happening.
'I have to change! I have to kill this bastard and then go save Himeko! Come on body!' I thought, as I heard him sigh.
"I guess I'll have to make you weaker so you'll have to change back."
He went and ran up to me and pinned me against the back wall of the small cave. I was trying to get free, but his huge earthy brown hand was around my neck and I felt that I was to tired to get him to release me.
"You've been human for to long its made you weak, and let's not forget about your little fight with those bloodsuckers. Those wounds of yours haven't healed and I'm sure the reason why you're having problems right now is because they put some of their poison into you. That just makes things easier for me remind me to thank those bloodsuckers." His voice was pissing me off more, as my growling grew louder.
I soon froze, as I felt a sharp pain in my chest right where my heart is.
"Himeko…" I managed to say, as Girochi laughed.
"See you can feel that she's in pain. He must have her pinned down to her bed just like I have you pinned, but don't worry if she's really fun he wont kill her. Then maybe you'll be able to see your stupid mate before he rips out her throat." I growled, as I went and dug my now wolf fangs into the hand that was holding my neck.
He just growled and lifted me forward and slammed my head against the wall forcing me to release him.
"So you still have the strength to fight…well I think I should start having my fun before you become to tried to stay awake through both yours and your stupid human mate's pain." He coldly said, as he moved closer to me.
Sorry it took so long, but things aren't looking all that great for either one of them. Will Chikane be able to get free and save her Himeko or will they both be taken over by the male wolves? You'll have to keep reading to find out ^-^
