Sara Waters' Origin

Chapter 15

Female Bill 

I just slowly closed my eyes and allowed my mind wondered. I wasn't aware of the changes that Meme made until I woke able an hour later. She cutted my hair a little bit shorter and in multiple layers. "Wow, I mouthered as I looked in the mirror. I moved my head side to side, checking the haircut. "Like it?" Meme asked as I turned my head towards her. "Yeah," I said. "What are you doing to me Meme?" "What do you mean?" She asked. 

"I mean what are you and Emerson doing to me with this change?" I asked. "Is this part of some test that I been doing lately, what gives?" 

She sighed and nodded slowly. I scoffed and shook my head in disbelief. "I can't believe this," I said, while sighing. "Is this part of the 6 stages of the bond?" At first she didn't say anything and looked me nervously. Again, she'd nodded. 

"Come here," I said urging her for a hug. She lend in and allows me to wrap my arms around her. "Hey, it's alright." 

"I'm sorry for deceiving you, Bill," She said as I shook my head. 

"No, You were just doing what Emerson told you to do," I said. Meme looked at me and smiled. 

"You are very compassionate," She said. "I thought you be mad at me." 

"No, hey, why would I be mad?" I asked giving her a smile. 

"So, anyway, you need to go meet someone, darling," she said as she grabbed my hand and lead me out of the door. 

"Where are we going?" I asked as she continues to lead me to the far end of the hallway until we reach the outside. From what I was able to see, I was standing on a balcony with a beautiful sunset. and an incredible view of the forest. "Oh, wow!"  

I walked out to take a better look at the view. "Oh! Meme..." I started, but as I turned around Meme was gone. I was alone on that balcony, but not for long. I heard footsteps from the corner and turned to look. Out came a guy that was tall and seemed so strong. I blushed as he grew closer to me. I could see that we were about the same height. "You looked beautiful," he said leaning in closer to me. I was feeling nervous and noticed that he was handing me a rose. I gently grabbed it from and brought it up to my nose to smell it. After that I looked up to him and said. "Thank you, it's beautiful." Strange, I wasn't feeling quite like myself anymore. Like, old me was a thing of a past, the werewolf part of me disappeared for the moment. 

"Bill, why are you looking at me like that?" He asked as I gazed at him and was amazed by this man's presence. "Don't you recognized me, Bill?" I was confused at first, then focus only on his eyes. They were like mine, pale blue. "Oh, my God! ERICK?!" He smiled at me and nodded. I was in shock by how much he'd looked like me as a human and was about to fly off when he grabbed me by the arm with both hands. "Don't," he stated as I looked back and stared at his sudden sad eyes. He later pulled me into his chest and wrapped his arms around me. "Don't fly off, Bill." 

Erick (in his human form) 

"How? How did this happen?" Bill asked me with worried. Properly thinking it was his fault. That he'd screw up everything even as a female. The truth is that I asked Emerson to give me this gift, I wanted to show Bill that change is not all bad. 

I hugged  him tightly. "Shh! Shh, It's okay, I asked for this," I whispered in his ear. "I asked Emerson to give me this gift. So I can help you past this stage." 

"How?" He asked, looking at me.

"We are already doing it, Bill. Showing love," I said with a smile. "And you already shown compassion when you hugged Meme." 

He sniffed and asked. "So what? Does that mean I pass?" "Yeah," I said as placed my forehead on his forehead. Then I kissed him on the forehead. "Come on, let me take you back." He nodded his head against mine. I could tell that Bill had started to trust me. I could also feel that our bond is getting stronger by the minute. I guided him out of the area and back to where we were with Emerson. He was smiling as we got closer to him. "Congrats you two," he said. "Just three more, Bill." "You starting to feel it too," I stated to Emerson, who was looking at me. "The bond growing?" He nodded as the three of us sat together in the center of the tree. Bill was lending against waist, sleeping so peacefully and profounded. It made me smiled as I looked down at him. "He just need to get through three more, he'll be ready to connect with you, be you," Emerson said as I turned my head towards him. "Isn't that the point of the bonding." 

"Is more than that, Emerson," I said, as Meme came over with a pot of tea and three cups in a tray. "Oh, look at the poor darling, " She said looking at Bill. "He's so so tired that even today's adventure had an effect on him." "Yeah, it did, and that's what I'm worrying about, guys," I said, as I looked down at Bill. "The bonding maybe growing, but he's growing weaker." "He just needs to grow, Erick," Emerson said as Meme nodded in agreement. "He's young right now," Meme stated touching Bill's right cheek. "Even though his adult body is waiting for him in the real world. His astral body is young. Too young, for the next tasks. Therefore is taking a great toll on him. Maybe in the next stage, he can." Meme later left us alone, taking Bill with her. Emerson wanted to talk to me more about the next stage and warned me that it might be the one stage that'll be the most difficult for him. Maybe for me as well. I asked him about that and the only thing he could tell me is that Bill would have to face his past and by that he would have a good strong will to do it. 

At this point, the fourth stage is about guilt and amens. Oh boy, Bill will have a field day with this one. I just hope that he is ready for it.
