Chapter 2

Zaira's P.O.V

My white paws were pounding against the forest as I sprinted around through the thick trees. The world, a blur around me and I only felt my body slow down when I saw a large clearing coming into view. Green grass spreading widely along a narrow stream. The stream looked quite deep, but I could still see the pebbles at the bottom slowly being lifted by the current. A dark forest was lining the edge of the stream, pitch black darkness consuming my vision as I tried to interpret what was before me. The density of the forest was so much that I barely saw the figure lurking in the shadows of darkness. A large black wolf stared at me, big green eyes that were penetrating my soul. It looked like the tip of his one ear was dipped into white paint, but what intrigued me the most was the white pawprint on his bum, something I only saw when he looked back the way he had come. I knew that with his size he could jump ober the stream and kill me within seconds, but as I stared into his deep, green eyes I knew that he would never hurt me. I knew that he would protect me at all costs. I sat down on the grass and played with the soft grass beneath me, I tried ignoring the black wolf hoping he would maybe leave, but then I heard a furious growl. My head shot up to see the black wolf growling at something behind me. I turned around slowly and felt my heart come to a step when I saw that almost 10 wolfs were closing in on me. The leader stood tall amongst the group and from his mere size and the intimidating stare I knew he was ruthless. He opened his mouth and showed me his large canines, his eyes blazing with an unknown fire as he stared me down.

"Poor Zaira. She has nowhere to run. She can't hide from me anymore," I could hear the hatred dripping from his venomous voice" Your pathetic little mother will be my last and only mistake. She was left to live after escaping my clutches, but you my dear won't be so fortunate." I tried to register what those words meant, but somehow nothing added up. He gave me one more stare before his eyes moved up to meet those of the black wolf behind me. As he was distracted momentarily I allowed myself to think of the person hiding behind the mask of that black wolf and why he had the need to protect me.

My mind raced through endless possibilities and I knew that I shouldn't be think about this now. I snapped out of my trance when I heard a low growl behind me and was met with the sight of the black wolf swimming across the stream. His determination clear as he made his way across.

His eyes slowly started glowing a bright green before my surroundings dissapeared and I was back in my human form. The stream now gone alongside the black wolf and the one who tried hurting me. I sat down in the long grass that was surrounding me and saw a small wolf, white as snow. She had a black tip on one ear and a black pawprint on her bum. I immdiately knew who this was and it intrigued me how much her features reminded me of that black wolf.

"Hi, I'm Jessica" a voice filled my mind when she was close. Sitting down on the grass she cocked her head to the side and spoke once again."As you have realised there is someone that wants to protect you and someone that wants to harm you, but I have no time to talk about that now. A few moments ago you were in wolf form, but that was only in your mind. You will be shifting soon. It will hurt very badly, but I will be guiding you every step of the way." Her words confused me severely, how could there be people who want to harm me? How come I haven't shifted yet?

I know a lot of people say that the first time you shift it hurt tremendously and everytime afterwards your mind recollects those painful memories, but no one has ever said anything about not shifting immdiately. I have had the opportunity of being with someone once they shifted and it happened almost immediately. Although the process of the shift took sometime there was no delay in the starting process.

"Zaira I know you're confused, but i don't have much time to tell you this. You are in danger. The most brutal and fearsome rouge of the all is after you. His name is Richard Petterson. He was the one leading the pack, who tried to attack you and he will not stop until he had gotten what he wants. Many things will be revealed in the next few days, but remember stay strong and believe in who you are" A woman behind Jessica had spoken these words. It appeared that she had popped out of nowhere and by the pure authority in her melodic voice I knew that I should listen. A small glow surrounded her body and it felt as if she was standing so far yet so near.

"Why does he want me?" I asked, my blood running cold with the thought of someone trying to hurt me and my family. I knew I could trust this woman even though I don't even know het name, Jessica has moved and was sitting beside me curiously looking at the woman in front of us.

"You're not an ordinary wolf...you are hybrid of a wolf and a mermaid. You and your other half are the chosen ones the ones that will save the mermaids. You two have powers that one can only imagine, powers that will put you in danger. You must learn how to control these powers to defeat Richard. He wants to use these powers for evil to take over the world and since you have come of age he will start his search for you Zaira. When you wake up you will be in wolf form. Your shift is completed in the real world, precisely a week from now you will transform into your mermaid form and that's when your mermaid side needs to start training and learn your powers. I'm afraid I may not say more, but do not fear when times gets tough" She said and to say I was shocked was an understatement. She walked back into the forest and dissapeared from sight.

Did my dad now about this? Who is my other half? How do I control my powers? How does Richard know about me? Why

My eyes shot open and I saw the forest surrounding me, the dirt felt good beneath my white paws. I was alone, but I was free. I knew that my dad brought me outside for the shift, it was safer this way.

"Zaira think of yourself in human form how you look and i will help with the rest." I heard Jess spoke through our mind link

I did as I was told and imagined my human form. I felt my bones breaking and soon pain filled my body as I shifted back until I was stark naked on the ground. I quickly jumped up from the ground feeling my whole body ache as I grabbed some clothes from behind a tree and walked towards the house. I was hungry

I felt my mind drifting to different things with every step I took until I walked into the house.

Am I really a hybrid?
