Taylor - stripes and shadows (lesbian) [on hold]

Chapter 16 (part 2)

It was pretty embarrassing having to shift in front of a woman I didn’t know, I was still having trouble getting the hang of it but she reassured me that not everyone got it straight away, I finally managed to get trousers and a bra on before giving up, I sat back down on the grass beside the woman “you never gave me your name” I said looking at her “Kali” she smiled at me “it mean’s goddess of death and destruction in Hindu, which is fitting I guess” before I could ask her what she meant by that Amber came back out signalling that the break was over and training was to resume, Kali got up and walked back into the house as Ryan came bounding out towards me “are you still training me?” he asked as he slowed down in front of me “course, I’m going to talk to the other’s later and see if I can sort you out with a room in the house near mine” I said, I was starting to get attached to the little guy and didn’t want to see him having to do chores for the rest of the clan, I shifted and started going through drill’s with Ryan, he’d got the hang of not tripping over his own paw’s or cowering when I started getting more aggressive with him, taking a swipe at him once more he dodged under it and made a lunge for my throat, without thinking I half shifted and jumped away, Ryan stood looking stunned at me before cracking into a giant grin “that’s cool” he said giddily as he bounded over too me, I sat down and started laughing at him as he sat down beside me, a few of the other’s who were training stopped and walked over to me, after a while the whole training group were sat around me asking questions, a few even made me pick them up over my head, Amber stood behind the group rolling her eye’s at me and laughing “alright guy’s why don’t we call it a day, Taylor has some stuff to take care of so you can harass her later” Amber said as she signalled for me to follow her back into the house, Lance and Kali where sat in the kitchen with Joe and Deane, Lance started plating up food as we sat down, it seemed that he’d designated himself as the chef of our little group “we’ve got a meeting set up with some of the other packs later on” Lance said as he sat down at the table “by the way guy’s this is Kali, she’s an old friend of mine who’s joining the clan” he explained as the guy’s all welcomed her, I couldn’t explain why but I felt extremely shy in her presence, the group chatted about how thing’s were going with the clan as we ate, Bart and Dora soon joined us at the table, getting some food as they did, it turned out that Dora was one of the leader’s of Joe’s pack, she was to lead the more advanced fighter’s, Bart was still training with Amber but was hoping to lead the scouting pack once he’d finished.

once we’d all finished eating Lance said I should get ready to meet the pack leader’s who were wanting to negotiate alliances, he lead me up to my office “I have a present for you, when you meet the pack leader’s you should be in you’re half form” he walked over to a box that he had placed on my desk, opening it he pulled out a white robe that had symbol’s on the back, it was sleeveless and long, he placed it on the desk so the back was visible before going back to the box and pulling out another item, turning around he held up a pair of trouser’s that had two belt’s looped around them, from one of the belt’s was a cloth hanging from it, it went from the front round to the back and hung down to the knee of the trouser’s, he placed these next to the robe, I walked over and ran my hand through the fur on the collar of the robe, feeling the softness under my finger’s and marvelling at the beauty of the workmanship, my hand trailed down from the collar to the symbol on the back and I traced it with my fingers “it mean’s great leader in a very old language that is lost to almost all but a few, it was passed from the king or queen to there first born, marking the change in leader, a crowning process if you will, until they were all wiped out, it’s been kept in our family for year’s since then, for generation’s our family has believed that a royal will rise again to take the mantel and bring about peace once more, someone who will protect our kind and stop us fighting amongst ourselves, though I never thought it would unit all kind’s but it seems that may just happen, I believe that you can do that though, looking around at werewolf’s, werecat’s and shifter’s all in one place, getting along and not fighting, united under one leader, living as a family and all because of you and you’re friends, no not friends, family, it give’s me hope that you can change this world, that you can do something that only other’s have dreamed of Taylor, you really are an amazing person” Lance stepped over too me and kneeled down “I’ve decided to stay, I want to be by you’re side through this” I was baffled by his actions but knew that a strong man like Lance had reason’s behind every action, stooping down I wrapped my arm’s around his neck and hugged him, he went rigid at first before returning the hug “thank you” I whispered feeling overwhelmed, we separated and Lance looking slightly embarrassed coughed “anyway, let’s get this show on the road shall we” I smiled and nodded at him.
