Chapter seven: A deadly escape.
Sirius led me back to the same chamber we had flown in. Stopping in the center he turned to me.
"When finding your soul spirit you gotta believe that it's there deep within you. It's there waiting to break free. As soon as you access it you will know all of you powers."
"And you couldn't have told me that when I asked earlier?"
"Lesson hasn't started yet" he grinned.
"What ever you say, teacher. Ok so how do I find my spirit?" I asked.
"That's mainly up to you. This night help: think of a time where you felt completely free. Like nothing could stop you. Like you could do anything." He said taking a step back.
"Watch and learn." He took off his jacket. He wore a gray t-shirt that was v-necked. My eyes widened at his arms. They were deeply scarred. I could also see scars on in neck and slightly on his chest. I watched him flex his shoulders and tip his neck back. His body began to writhe and I watched as feathers moved swiftly over his skin and his body took shape. Within seconds of his change I found myself stareing into the eyes of and enormous eagle.
"Wow" I gasped. Taking a step back as he lifted his wings and took flight. He was so unbelievably graceful it took my breath away. He shifted back when he landed and smiled.
"Well that was fun. Ok know your turn. I need to warn you though. Shifting can bring back old and painful memories and even open up scars. You could seriously injure or even kill your self. I almost did the first time I shifted."
I took a few steps back and closed my eyes. I thought hard for a long time. Then it hit me. The first soul I saved. Jack Frost. I remember standing in the shadows watching Jack with his sister. Seeing him save her and fall to his own icy death. I kept the memory in my mind. My body began to throb and breath hitched in my throat.
"Don't fight it Crysis!" Sirius called. I relaxed and took a breath. The throbbing continued and I could feel the shift and my body moved from human to the unknown. I passed out. When I opened my eyes I lifted my head. Sirius sat cross legged in front of me smiling.
I wanted to say what! But the only thing that came from my mouth was a bark.
"I do have to say wolves as soul spirits are very rare." He said. I looked down at where my hands should have been but now paws. I stood shakily.
"Your very powerful to! you shape shift into a wolf form, substantial size increase you have light and dark gray fur, white highlights with a simmering light emulating around you. It's really odd but neat. Your eyes are memorizing deep emerald green that can distil fear in the hearts of the bravest men. You have two scars on your neck and on your cheek that kinda give you a sexy "don't mess with me" look . You can communicate telepathically like I can with me eagle. You have enhanced superhuman strength and unmatched speed. Wolves teeth can cut through the hard bodies with ease. Wolves do not age if they regularly turn into their wolf form . You are the strongest of any pack no Alpha male dares to challenge you. Once they begin phasing, a wolf may "imprint"—a method of finding one's soulmate—on someone, and will act as whatever the imprintee needs, whether it be a protector, a lover, or an older sibling." Sirius finished. I just sat there. Some of what he said made no sense.
"Hey I don't come up with this Crysis. What I just told you is who you are. You are very strong and already other demons don't want to challenge you." I cocked my head.
"Yea I know it's a lot to take in. Try speaking now" he said and I gave him a look like he was crazy.
"It's another thing demons have. When your in your form and you speak we hear it in the air. It's neat. Give it a try!" I said the first thing u could think of.
"Knock knock!" My voice sounded so cool in the air.
"Who's there?" Sirius smiled.
"No one. I just couldn't think of anything else to say."
"Ok now time to phase back. It's not hard but takes more concentration." He said sitting down in front of me. It took me almost an hour to phase back to human. I was tired and just wanted to go to sleep. Sirius walked me back to my room where I changed and fell into a deep long sleep. I dreamed of big wolves and large eagles, also of horrible scars and small abused children.
Gasping I woke sitting straight. It felt like someone was calling to me. I could hear them deep within my mind. But I couldn't make out what the words were. Sighing I climbed out of bed and went in to the bathroom. There was and erie paleness to the dark room so I was guessing it was sometime in the morning. I turned the water on hot and had a long soothing shower. When I got out there were fresh clothes sitting on the bathroom counter. I didn't remember anyone coming in. Once I was dressed I left the bathroom and ran smack into Sirius.
"What are you doing!" I hissed.
"Sorry" he smirked. He was wearing a black t shirt that again showed off his scars.
"Hey Sirius?"
"Yea?"
"If you don't mind me asking how did you get those scars?" His eyes narrowed and he looked down at his arms.
"My father." He hissed his mood changing suddenly. "He abused and tormented both my mom and me. Eventually it got so bad for me and she...she tried to stand up for me. Lucifer murdered her. That's why I don't talk to him. I hate my father for everything he ever done. My only wish for Lucifer now is to see him dead." Sirius finished. He voice had gone so cold.
"I hated my parents to. I was abused by them and they killed me. Mim turned me into the spirit of life and death and my life has never been the same. And to top it all off I'm now a demon hybrid. Yay!" I said sarcastically at the end. Sirius smiled and then chuckled.
"Why haven't you left this place yet?" I asked.
"I can't. I don't know where the way out is. I've tried believe me I have."
"Don't worry Sirius. We will find a way out of here, together." I took his hand. He smiled. His green eyes flashing in the dark. He leaned down slowly. Our faces inches apart. Just as we were about to press our lips together there was a knock at the door. Grumbling Sirius stood and went to the door. I was curious as to why Echo was standing at the door.
"I couldn't but help over hear your conversation as I was passing by."
"And?" Sirius asked.
"I know of one way out. It's an old secret passage that I use to collect my herbs. You can get out that way but you will need to make a break for it. Stay in to sky if possible and go on a bad weathered day. "
"But how will-" she cut me off.
"I will keep an eye on the weather and let you know of the first cloudy night. And when one comes I will get the both of you and you can get out. But until then stay close to each other." She turned and left as quickly as she came. I looked at Sirius. He grinned and came over to me.
"We are gonna get out of hell" was all he said before I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him into a tight hug.
About two days went by and Sirius was still training me.
"Your getting better at shifting. Most have so much trouble with it but your a natural." He smiled and then Echo walked in.
"It's time you two. Ready?" She said coming up to us.
"Yes"
"Then lets go" she turned and we followed. She led us back to her cave where we stopped at the back. She slipped behind a large rock and motioned for us to follow and we did. We stopped at a small chamber that had several tunnels leading from it.
"Take that one and you will end up in the winter wood. The other ones are dead ends. Once you reach the winter wood you need to be careful the winter wood is a dangerous place full of dangerous creatures. Keep an eye on each other and be safe. And remember try and keep to the sky!" She turned and left. Sirius and I began jogging quickly down the tunnel. It was a while before we saw a faint light at the end of the tunnel. Pushing on forward we made our way to the opening of the tunnel. Climbing out of the tunnel we ended up under a large fur tree. I stepped out to look at the sky.
"Cloudless." I hissed. This meant we had to stay to the ground.
"Well I guess we're going on foot now." Sirius said stepping out ahead of me. We trekked through the dense frigid white forest. We came to a good sized clearing and stopped at the edge.
"We should rest for a bit before going on." Sirius said stretching his arms. We sat and enjoyed the silence before getting up and starting across the clearing. The sun was high in the sky so I was guessing it was around mid day. The sky was blue and it was very bright. Sirius and I were almost at the center of the clearing when I heard a small crack.
"Sirius?"
"Hmm?"
"Did you hear that?" I whispered.
"Hear what?" He asked turning.
"I thought I hear-" I was cut off by a louder crack.
"Sirius!"
"Run!" He yelled grabbing my hand and booking it. The cracking was only getting louder and we had to jump to miss large pools of icy water.
"Go!" He yelled letting go of my hand. Sprinting ahead I turned when I heard him yell.
"No!" I cried as he went under the ice.
SIRIUS POV.
The water was deathly freezing. I could barely move. Water filled my mouth and tormented my lungs. My body burned and my eyesight was become fuzzy. As my movements weakened I thought about Crysis. Then a soft glow radiated above me. I struggled to keep my eyes open as a pair of brilliant green eyes found mine. The light was only getting brighter and I was fading. I guess an angel was taking me to heaven a beautiful angel with memorizing eyes that seemed to remind me. I was slowly be lifted upward and I let the light take me. Water bubbled at my lips and air raggedly filled my body. I heard a voice calling my name before I blacked out completely.
