PART II

GABRIEL

She was taking it way better than I'd thought she would. She has many questions but there they're all justified. I was worried for a moment when she started mumbling about how cool my species is and I was even more shocked by how much she new- irrelevant to whether it was all true or not. There was lots of things she had wrong. The one thing I'm glad she didn't ask too much about was mates. I didn't want to lie, but I definitely didn't want to tell her everything about how it works, because with everything that's happened to her, she would definitely not take it well so I just tried to keep my explanations superficial. But now came the hard part; explaining the other half of my genetic makeup which I, myself had little knowledge of how it worked.

"Well, you see, my father is a direct decedent of Artemis, the goddess of the hunt. And a pureblooded Lupis, the two go hand in hand thought because Artemis is the supposed "creator" of the lupine species", I paused letting her process this information. I could barley contain myself as I saw her chewing on her bottom lip, deep in thought. How I just wanted to bite that lip as I put my hands- No! serious conversation going on right now. Jeez, I'm acting like a fourteen-year-old hormonal boy.

"So, Artemis, as in the Artemis of the Greek gods and goddesses?" She asks wearily. I sigh. This is were things start to get complicated. I pulled up a chair from my desk across the room and sat down, facing her.

"Think of all the religions in the entire world. Buddhism, Christianity, Greek Mythology, Juddaism and I could go on and on, but the bottom line is that they all are real. Any religion ever thought up by a collective group of people and truly believed at one point, exists. I don't really know how, but there's a sort of... pulse that goes throughout the whole universe," as this point she's looking really lost and its just almost impossible to explain. I sigh and take off my shoe. I'm better at physical demonstrations. I hurl the shoe a the wall by the door to my room. It bounces off and lands in front off the door on the carpeted floor. She looks back at me like I'm crazy.

"Wha-" she starts but I cut her off.

"Why did that shoe stop moving", I ask. She just gives me and incredulous look.

"Bear with me here, Mae", I say. She sighs and nodes her head.

"Why did the shoe stop?" I repeat.

"Because there was a wall?"She says, almost like she's not sure.

"What would have happened if the wall wasn't there?" I ask. This time, without any resistance, she answers.

"Then it would have kept going until it hit another wall", she says as I take off my other shoe and throw it again. It does the same thing and lands near the other shoe.

"So, you think there's a wall there?" I ask, amused by her bewildered expression.

"Yes!" She exclaims, almost irritated.

"Well, can you prove it?" I ask. Her face scrunches up in confusion.

"Umm... yeah?"

"How?" I ask. She stands up from where she sits on the bed and walks past me to the wall. I can barely contain the ache in my pants as her hips sway back and fourth unintentionally as she walks by me to the wall before knocking on it with her fist and giving me a look.

"Is there any other way to prove that the wall is there?" I ask. She thinks for a moment.

"I can't see anything past it."
