The secret Tribes

Chapter 12

Graciella's POV:

Man, I'm so dead.

He saw me shift in to a Panther...

I can't belevie this! Dammit! I can't 'explain' this to him. No, no, NO! Jesus Christ! I gotta get out of here. Nice way to start the year... Just fantastic!

I was happy that I had transformed into the Panthalassa but at the same time, i wasn't. My body was so tired and I obviously failed the test by shifting.

"What?" My mate choked, bring me out of my thoughts.

"You will not tell anyone!" I whisper yelled at him. Of course he wouldn't. Mates don't tell on eachother... Right?

"Ok, but I want an explanation!" He used his Alpha tone. Yeah, like that's gonna work on me. Don't think so honey.

"Ok." I nodded.

"I'm Joaquin Blake." He said, putting his hand out to shake mine.

"A hand shake, seriously? How old are you? 40?" I spoke sarcastically, i then jumped past him with lightning speed.

I have to get out of here.

I mind linked Sam, saying I was going home and for him to catch the bus. When I jumped past Joaquin I heard him shout 'Hell no!'. Was this all just a game for him?

Swerving around trees and jumping over fallen ones, I could tell I had lost him. Yes! I kept running through the forest, faster and faster. I stopped and looked around at my surroundings... Where was I? Crap, flippen' friggin'... Ugh!

'Mates'. Why, did we move?! It is so unfair. Unfair! My whole life is unfair, I just want to be normal. Not the last bloody shifter. Princess? Queen? John Blake just had to make it more complicated.

These thoughts fueled me even more, I kept on running and running, my legs burning. I heard the trickling of water and saw the sun reflecting off the waterfall. I'm home. Without hesitation I jumped into the water.

Water always made me calm. It cleared my mind. Refreshed my body and made all my problems float away. Do you ever get that feeling, where you find yourself in a haze. Where you are untouchable, when you your body is just there, but your mind and soul are not. Well, I have that feeling everyday... Every single day.

I let myself sink further and further into the deep abyss of water and blackness with rays of light above, shining like stars.

How deep can I go... Without drowning?

I felt my arms morph into flippers and my legs into a strong tail. My eyes glazed over and I gazed over the large, dark caverns. Big columns supported them... Weird. Stairs led up and up to the top of the waterfall. I get it, I grinned, which was hard to do in this form. This must have been a chamber or something. A water shaft must have burst and filled up the chambers, turning it into a deep pool of water and overtime the waterfall above was eroded.

Wow?! I know, how did I know that. I like documentaries, ok? Jeez, don't judge.

With the force of my powerful tail moving up and down. I quickly sliced through the water with ease.

My smooth rubbery skin, cutting a path.

The light above became closer and closer all most blinding with its beauty.

1...

2...

3...

I leapt up into the air, squeaking with my vocal chords. I absolutely love my dolphin form. It was a light grey, silvery colour with a pink belly.

I shifted back to my human form and landed gracfully on land.

But this meant my worries could return.

Joaquin...

He doesn't love me...

It's only the gods' blinding him with their hatred, and calling it love...

I can't bring him into this world, he's a werewolf.

Not a-

Not a soul shifter.

I started sobbing.

I couldn't be with him. I couldn't be with my mate. My soul mate.

I wasn't worthy.

It wasn't safe.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Awww! She doesn't think they can be together!

Just to clear things up, Grace and Joaquin are 16.
