Opposite of Normal

~Eight~

The guy moves to lift my shirt and I slap his hand. He glares at me. Growling lowly. "Can I see the cut. " He 'asks'. I glare but lift my shirt for him to see. "Can you heal it?" He touches above my cut. "I'm not strong enough right now." He nods then grabs my arm. I try pulling it from him but he pulls me closer to him. "You're coming to camp with us." My eyes widen. "I got friends close to here. The plan was I lead the guards away from their house and then circle back." He glances into the under brush. "You're coming with us." I growl loudly but let him drag me farther away from my friends.
"You can stay here tell we are ready to go." He sits me on a chair, tying a rope tightly from my ankle to the chair. I jerk my foot and flinch when the rope gets even tighter. "What do you mean ready to go?" I try pressing into his mind but the walls are up tight. He glares at me. "We just attacked guards. We have to get far from here and quickly." I groan my stomach jumping into my throat. "But I can't leave! I have people waiting on me!" I jump up and try lunging at the door. Pain runs up from my foot. I fall to the ground and hold back a scream when a snap fills the air. Tears run down my face when I sit up. The guy drops to the ground by my foot. I hiss at him and drag myself away from him. I stare down at my ankle. It's turned funny. "Just calm down." He yells but it sounds like a whisper to me. I notice the feeling of my inner animal leaking into my head. I struggle to keep my brain human. The guy tries picking me up but a scream rips threw the air. I start losing my sight as the blackness of safety reaches for my hand. I slowly let my animal take over. Letting the pain disappear with my humane thoughts. "KIT! FIGHT IT!" I stop the shift and listen. "Kit its me. I'm here. Open you're eyes!" I shift more humane into my brain. Is that Luca's voice? "Come on! Open you're eyes. You don't want to go to the darkness. Stay here with me." I feel myself starting to take over my body again. Pain runs threw my whole body. I flinch and wiggle my fingers. "That's it. Now open you're eyes." I groan loudly. "I....Don't..Want..to." Luca laughs. "You got to." I feel heat rap around my hand. I struggle for a moment then slowly open my eyes. Luca's smiling face stares down at me. I try smiling but stop when pain flows threw my body. I clinch my teeth. "This is not....good." I sit up a bit, moving slowly. "Hey just stop moving." I look around Luca and see the guy and his pack staring at us. "Luca what did you do." I whisper. His smile slowly sinks. "I was waiting in the woods for the others but when I heard you scream....I landed myself useless to the others." I growl at him then glare at the guy. "Can you heal you're self?" Luca squeezes my hand. I stare at my messed up ankle. "Uh I don't know, maybe?" I sit up more and flinch. I move to pull up my shirt. The cut is still bleeding. Soaking my whole side. Not good. I drop my shirt and painfully pull my ankle closer to me. Heat fills my chest, waiting to be used. "Here goes nothing." I mutter and slowly touch my broken bone. I scream loudly. Luca moves behind me and leans me against his chest.

I open my eyes and sit up fast. I swear as my vision blurs out. "Kit try moving slowly." I glare at Luca as my sight starts clearing up. "How long was I out?" I check my ankle and find it sloppily healed. Well at least it's healed. "Only around five minutes. You're going to need to wrap you're ankle." I nod and glance at my bloody side. Luca growls at one of the guys pack member. "Could you get something to wrap it up with? Add some to clean it too." The guy glances out the door then back at Luca and I. "I'll be back in two seconds. Don't move." He jogs out the door. Luca pulls me tighter against him. "The others where informed of what happened. They are getting here as fast as they can. Guards are almost everywhere in the woods." He whispers in my ear. "I can't believe I almost let my inner-mountain lion take over." I mutter. Luca stiffens behind me. I continue. "If it would of fully taken over.....I would not be me. My human mind would have died. I would be....fully....wild." I stare out the door. Luca quietly moves in front of me. "But you fought it. You are still you're self. Still mostly human. Every shifter sometimes looses control. It's a part of who we are."  I meet his gaze. I never noticed who hot he is. I did not just think that. I smile slightly at him. I stand up slowly. Luca follows my lead studying me for any signs of me falling. I face him then pull him tightly to me. I wrap my arms around his shoulders and nozzle my face into his chest. He stiffens but pulls me against him, hugging back. I whisper a thank you in his ear. I surprise him and myself by kissing him softly. Its only a quick kiss but I feel almost over joyed from it. Luca tightens his grip around me and mutters something. I pull back a bit. "What was that?" He looks at me in surprise then shakes his head. "It was nothing." I give him a look but nod. He squeezes me again then steps away. I wrap my arms around myself, missing his heat. I flinch when pain runs threw my body. I pull up my shirt and stare at the deep cut. Warmth runs threw my arms. That makes no sense. I should be weak and not able to feel any power from my healing side. Luca stops close to me, picking up on my confused look. I touch my side and hold back a scream when the heat starts healing the inner cut. Luca moves to my side and pulls me gentle against him. I finish healing the wound most of the way. Leaving it as a small scabbed line. Luca growls as the guy meant to watch us walks back in carrying the need things. Luca pulls me against him moving so the guy can't see me. I stare at him in confusion. Luca pulls my shirt down over the cut. Then huffs when that forces my breast more out of the tight bra. He pulls the top of the shirt back over my breasts. Watch causes the cut to show. He growls lowly at the shirt. I can't help but giggle. He glances at my face, throwing me a cute goofy grin. Luca glances at the guy. "Is their anyway you could get her a jacket?" The guy rolls his eyes then leaves to go find me a coat. "Okay now sit." Luca commands. I slide to the ground silently. Luca raps my ankle then moves to my side. He slowly lifts up my shirt and makes me sit up more. He raps my healed cut. After he's down he stares at me before gentle kissing my forehead. I stare into his eyes and feel the air around us change. That's weird. I feel something in me change like I just filled a hole in my heart. Luca mumbles something under his breath and only catch the last part. "What was that?" I question quietly. He glances away. There's a thump from outside. I stare out the door getting in a fighting stance. Luca pulls me hard against him. I glare at him. "I can handle myself." He glares back at me letting out a quit growl. "I'm sorry. I just have a um protective.....feeling? Uh about you...wait over you?" He growls again this time over his frustrations. I smile. A gunshot goes off and I jump. Luca pulls me behind him a bit. We wait in silence. I hear foot steps as someone gets closer to the tent. Luca growls lowly. "Calm your self wolfy!" Claire peaks into the tent. I scream her name and hug her tightly. She laughs. "Where's the bad pack?" I ask quietly and peak out the tent. "Tied up. Their being grilled by Alpha Lukey." Luca growls at Claire for disrespecting his alpha. I move to his side and he stops. Claire gives us a weird look. I shrug. "Can we get out of here?" She smiles and calls for Luke.
