Pack Mentality: A SkinWalkers Tale

Chapter 3

Tori sat up from the bed and looked down at Jade who still slept soundly. It was a Saturday, their day but it was also a full moon that night. She stood up and stretched as she walked out of the room. She stopped and opened a door to see the children sleeping soundly in their beds. She smiled as she closed the door and walked down the steps. She stopped dead in her tracks and looked at a picture above the mantle of the fire place. It was of her and Andre after she their Prome. She smiled at the memory then another one hit her, How the hell did she get that shrimp in my bra?

She shook her head at the thought and walked over to the kitchen. She walked in and turned on the TV above the counter. She flipped it over to the news as she turned to the coffee maker. She began to brew a pot as she took a seat at the island in the kitchen as she watched the news. She felt the wolf inside of her it was getting stronger and to her it was nice that her and Jade were the only two Skin Walkers. She glanced at her reflection in the mirror and she could see the flakes of orange in her eyes, as well as a few red strands of hair. She reached forward and grabbed her mug and filled it with coffee.

"It's the day of the full moon...did you really think you could hide coffee from me" Jade said with a yawn as she walked into the kitchen.

"No, I figured it would be a safer and more loving way to wake you" Tori said with a smile as she kissed Jade before she wrapped her arms around her.

Jade rested her chin in the crook of Tori's neck and gave her a soft kiss as she inhaled her scent. It was intoxicating to her and just her scent alone was enough to cause her to emit a low growl. She looked as Tori glance back to her and smirked a bit as she placed her lips to hers. Once she did she nipped a bit at her bottom lip sucking it into her mouth. Tori spun around in the chair and hooked her arms around Jade's back and pulled her close. As she pulled her close she let out a possessive growl as she clung to her.

"Mommy" Holly sounded from the other side of the door.

Jade and Tori quickly broke apart and smoothed out their hair and clothes. The looked back as Holly came through the door rubbing her eyes as she clutched onto her favorite blanket. Her hair was a blonde color and here eyes were a bright green she had her sleeping pajamas on. She walked over to Jade who scooped her up and kissed her on her forehead. About a minuet latter Melissa walked in and skipped to the kitchen. Tori quickly scooped her up and nuzzled her nose into Melissa's nose.

"So what do you two want to do today?" Tori asked looking at them both.

The kids looked at each other and then in unison they cheered for Chuck E Cheese. Jade and Tori laughed as they nodded quickly and let the children go. They watched as the children ran out of the kitchen and then up the steps. Jade turned and looked to Tori and smiled as she walked back over and kissed her. They smiled at each other before they heard the kids coming down the steps. They looked at them to see them fully ready to go and it made them both snicker at how fast they had gotten ready.

It was a long day of them being a family but it was something Jade and Tori loved to do. They dropped the children off and Beck's and now they stood in the woods waiting for the change to come. They clung to one another as they looked out to the woods. They sat on the rock and looked out across the woods as they felt the change start to take place.

They parted for the change like they always do for safety. Tori kissed Jade softly as she walked over to the side near some boulders. As soon as she got to them she fell to her knees growling in pain as she felt the change coming she heard the ripping sound of her skin. Her skin began to fall off of her in shreds as she felt the fur of the wolf starting to break through her body. Suddenly the wolf shot forward out of her body and it began to shake itself clean as she shook off the shreds of the skin.
