Tell No Lies

Chapter 7

The truth is, every monster you have met or will ever meet, was once a human being with a soul that was as soft and light as silk. Someone stole that silk from their soul and turned them into this. So when you see a monster next, always remember this. Do not fear the thing before you. Fear the thing that created it...

I met Blake's wide eyes. I didn't mean to shift in front of him but I didn't make it into the house in time. The snow flurried around us, catching in my fur and his hair. Clearly shocked to the core, he just stood there, jaw agape. 

Part of me wanted to run and find Kyle but the other half wanted to try and convince him that I'm still me. Cause I am still me, just in a wolf body...

" You- You're-" He stuttered. " You just- Its true?"

Stepping closer to him, he held up his hand. " Do NOT come near me."

But it's just me? I don't get it? I tried to get closer but he shoved his shoe into my chest, knocking me back a few steps. " Hey!" Kyle barked from the front steps of the house. " Don't you kick her!"

" That- That thing is not Daciana. What did you do to her?" He growled, storming a few steps closer to him. " What did you do to her you son of a-"

I jumped closer, coming in between them so Blake jerked back. I leaned my side against the front of Kyle's legs, watching Blake closely. I don't want anyone to get hurt. They're already at each other's throats because of the throw down but now, I'm afraid they're gonna start beating the shit out of each other and someone's gonna get seriously hurt.

The fear in his eyes was a clear enough message to know that he believes I'm a monster. I guess it would seem bizarre and horrifying but still. He saw me shift with his own eyes. It's not like I'm gonna attack him. I'm not here to hurt anybody...

" Look around, bud." Kyle told him as a few of the pack memebers slowly moved closer. " Do you honestly think every single one of these wolves are just animals? They're shifters. They're made and brought into packs. They're lead by Daciana and I."

Blake moved his gaze to the wolves behind him, panic starting to set on his face. I will not let them harm him, though. Kyle said I am the alpha female and they will listen to me weather they like it or not.

I stood straight, moving slightly closer. One look to each wolf sent them pausing their footing. One of the larger black wolves kept moving closer. I glanced at Kyle first, he just gave a nod.

Showing off a bit, I stepped up and pulled my lips back into a snarl. My ears pinned back and body sunk low, really to lunge at them. All eyes turned to us and I could just feel the anticipation filling the area. 

The anticipation for me to lunge, the anticipation for a fight to break out but that's not me feeling it. I'm feeling ready to attack. I feel stronger than this wolf and like I can show everyone who is in charge and that I can put these little shits in order.

The wolf sprang towards Kyle. Quickly lunging over, I plowed my paws into her shoulder and knocked her off course. Spinning around, I stood in front of Blake and kept my eyes on hers.

I followed her steps, taking one paw closer as she did. Then, she sprang. Catching her throat in my jaws, I bit down hard to stun her. With a shake of my head I knocked her sideways and off her paws. Her body hit the snow with a thud, sending snow flying up in the air.

Slowly, my eyes lifted to Blake's and I couldn't tell if he wanted to scream at me or run as fast as he could without looking back. He just stood there staring at me though.

Turning, i trotted back up to Kyle and rolled onto my haunches. Now watching the black wolf slowly come to her feet, I almost itched to attack her again. She started it so I'm gonna end it. I mean, if she can still get up without too much fear on display then I guess I didn't scare her enough.

Much to my suprise she actually turned and started to limp away. Well well. Looks like I make a pretty good alpha after all. Guess that means I established dominance? Great!

Blake just stood there staring at me like I grew two heads and became Cerberus. Do I look like I crawled outta hell? Does it look like I guard the gates? No. I don't. I'm a wolf not a hound dog. Oh maybe I'm thinking of the hellhound's... Whatever. Point is, I'm not gonna attack him because I'm still me with the same thoughts and emotions that I have as a human.

Kyle and Blake met each other's stares and for a second I thought Blake was gonna speak but he didn't. He just turned and walked away. Wow... I saved him from that wolf attacking him and yet he still doesn't believe I'm still Daciana? Whatever. He can believe what he wants but I know the truth and so does Kyle.

I trotted after him, following him up to his car. He paused his footing and so did I. Slowly his eyes shifted to me. " Well go on then, kill me." He spat at me, slamming the car door closed. " I saw what you did to that other wolf. You coulda killed it so why don't you just get it done and over with, huh?"

" I don't kill for sport."

His eyes widened and mine did too. Did I just- How the fuck? I glanced around to see if anyone else heard but it was just Blake and I standing alone in the snow by his car. He scooped his jaw up off the floor and rubbed his hands over his face.

" You did not just talk. I am hallucinating."

Well actually he's not because I heard it too. I dunno how I did it but... I did. And it's weird but hey at least I can speak! Maybe I can only say certain things or talk to certain people... I'm interested in knowing how this works now.

I glanced back at Kyle who slowly made his way towards us. I glanced down at the trail of paw prints behind me in the softly accumulating snow. I mean, I understand that it'd be scary seeing your sister change into an animal but doesn't he understand that I'm not gonna hurt him? I'm not a threat. Or at least not to him.

" Look, a talking wolf is the least of your problems. You gotta keep your trap shut or the rest of the wolves are gonna come after you and I'm not gonna stop them."

Blake blinked, then blinked again. " Nope, nope, I'm dreaming. This is NOT happening. You're all just a figment of my imagination and I'm dreaming."

I moved closer and stepped on his foot. His eyes snapped down to the sudden pressure I created. He stared at my paw on his shoe for a good minute before looking up at me. A small laugh escaped his throat and he shook his head. Oh good lord, what's a girl gotta do?

I stomped my paw on his foot but still nothing. Fine. I guess we gotta do it the hard way. I reared up and lunged at him. Knocking him backwards, he let out a loud groan and grabbed his groin. That's when I realized I jumped on his junk. Oops...

" Fuck!" He shouted. " Get off me!"

I stepped back, looking around quickly, curious if Kyle saw or not. He slowly made his way over, looking like even the mere sight of it hurt him too.

Blake drove his foot into me, knocking me off balance. " Bitch." He spat at me before slowly getting to his feet. " I don't care what the fuck you are or who the fuck you are. Stay away from me."

I glanced at Kyle again and whined. I really didn't mean to hurt him. It was an accident and besides, he thought I was just apart of his imagination. I proved myself but now he's pissed off at me.

Quietly, standing in the accumulating snow, my eyes watched him as he climbed into his car. My paws seemed to move on their own, taking steps back in case he wanted to try and run me over.

Watching his car pull away hurt me more than it should have... I just wish he had more belief... More trust...

I wish he understood that werewolves are real and even though I am one, I'm not gonna hurt him. It's just as if he blocked the idea of anything other than the basic animals and humans existing.

Many years ago, he'd tell me stories of beasts and these crazy creatures but now he couldn't care less to even think about them. He lost his belief in it I guess.
