"Aren't you somethin' to admire?

'Cause your shine is somethin' like a mirror

And I can't help but notice, you reflect in this heart of mine

If you ever feel alone and the glare makes me hard to find

Just know that I'm always, parallel on the other side..."

Isabel POV

I wasn't entirely sure what i had expected to happen when i tried to shift. Luna went out first, she looked excited, i wasn't sure if it was because this was the time she got to run with Paul, or because she was just nervous about whether or not this would pan out.

"So, how am i supposed to do this?" i asked, once we made it through the back door.

She gave me a weird look, "the same we did two years ago."

"But how?"

"Bell, were werewolves, we were born this way, it's like breathing, its just something in our blood, something we never forget," i pondered that for a moment. The idea of being able to shift after so much time seemed doubtful. I spent two years convincing myself my life hadn't been real, just some crazy dream or something.

Paul gave her a light kiss, before throwing me an encouraging smile and walking past the tree line. "What if this doesn't work?" i admit, i was thrilled with the concept, but i didn't think i'd be able to handle the disappointment if this didn't work.

"You'll never know unless you try," she said shrugging, and then falling past the treeline as well. Her shadow faded and i shook my head slightly.

I looked up, the clouds passing over head, clear enough spots to see the stars. She was right though, it was now or never. I took a deep breath, bracing myself, and then started running in the same direction they had.

"'Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul

I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go, just put your hand on the glass

I'll be tryin' to pull you through, you just gotta be strong..."

The change was almost instantaneous. She had been right, it was like breathing. I continued the running, and white light began to glow on my skin, getting brighter and brighter. As the white grew, my skin tingled, keeping pace with another. My senses over powered me, maybe stumble for a moment, so unused tot he ambush of smells and sounds.

"'Cause I don't wanna lose you now, i'm lookin' right at the other half of me

The vacancy that sat in my heart, is a space that now you hold

Show me how to fight for now, and I'll tell you, baby, it was easy

Comin' back here to you once I figured it out, you were right here all along..."

It was a rush of power that only grew. I hadn't realized how much i'd missed this. I'd forgotten how amazing this felt. I felt movement in my mind, a stirring. It was Vierra, lifting her head to me, meeting my own gaze. She huffed slightly, standing as if having been asleep for the last two years. Maybe she had been all along, hidden deep within my own subconscious. Either way, i hadn't felt her inside of me two years. A whole in me that i didn't think would ever be filled again. It felt like seeing her for the first time all over again. She greeted me, excitedly, whining a little to be let out, to let her take control.

She was a part of me i had been missing, the last piece of a puzzle finally falling into place. A puzzle of what made me who i was. She was my strength, when i had none. My guide, when i was lost. My light when i was surrounded with darkness. When she was a part of me, i was a part of her, two halves made whole. I felt complete.

"It's like you're my mirror, my mirror staring back at me

I couldn't get any bigger, with anyone else beside of me

And now it's clear as this promise, that we're making two reflections into one

'Cause it's like you're my mirror, my mirror staring back at me, staring back at me..."

I let her merge with myself, the thrill feeling as exhilerating as it had the first i'd changed. I could feel how much she'd missed me. The shift had been complete when we'd jumped over a fallen tree, landing in a stream. A howl ripped through my mind, and as it faded out of my mind it escaped my lips and into the night air. She had been waiting for me.

"Aren't you somethin', an original, 'cause it doesn't seem merely a sample

And I can't help but stare, 'cause I see truth somewhere in your eyes

I can't ever change without you, you reflect me, I love that about you

And if I could, I would look at us all the time..."

I heard Aleera's own howl, hearing her and Paul run for us. They appeared at the opposite of the river and Vierra barrelled into me happily, and we tumbled, getting soaked. Paul made a chortling sound, a laugh i suppose. I couldn't have been happier then in this moment.

"You're my reflection, all I see is you

My reflection, in everything I do

You're my reflection and all I see is you

My reflection, in everything I do..."

When we returned home, all of us were muddy, but i didn't care. I could still feel her, as if we were still in the same form. She just tilted her head at me, wondering when we would run again. Im never going to take advantage of her again. Before i'd wanted to be normal, and i got my wish and hated it. She was back and there was no way i'd ever let her disappear again.

Everyone had already known when we got back that i'd shifted. I mean, we were gone four hours, and they could hear us howling all over the place. Sam hadn't been happy when he'd seen us. But Jake tracked us down when he found out where we had gone and what had happened. He'd surprised the hell out of us too. Just crept up on us out of nowhere. He dropped down right in front of me and i thrown my paw out and smacked his nose, yelping in surprise.

We all changed, pulling our clothes back on and going into the house. It was early when we got home. Everything was covered in that early morning glow, and everyone was asleep.

"You should eat and then crash for a bit, is it safe to say you skipping school?" Luna asked, eating some cookies in the kitchen.

"Yeah, for today anyways. I kind of like school."

"I didn't," she said frowning. "The teachers were bossy, the students were ignorant and hormonal and the things they would argue about. It was embarrassing just over hearing some of the things they talked about."

"Not every teenager out there is like that," Paul said giving her an amused look.

"Aren't they?" she asked eyebrows raised. "I'm just glad we weren't raised like they were."

"Kind of rascist dont you think?" i asked frowning at her.

"That's not rascist, and i stereotyped teenagers. Would you rather be raised the way we were, or the way they are?"

I said nothing, "i rest my case."

I felt this chapter needed a song, and Mirror's fit pretty well.
