At Dawn,We Rise

Tunnels

It was the next day when they began the tunnels-and when Olivia's wolf senses started to develop.As human.

She could hear better,smell better and was faster.Petra's senses (and speed) were probably developing too.

Well,the speed thing made tunnel building easier.Unless Petra and Amber were working on the same room. That made things harder...

If you call Petra trying to kill Amber,then Amber shifting into a wolf and banging into things harder.

"You doing okay,Olivia?"Jesse asked as they worked on a bedroom.

"Fine.Why?"

"Just wondering..."Jesse shrugged.

"I'm not being affected by the Petra and Amber thing."Olivia assured her.

"Everyone is,it's our problem."Jesse put down a chest.

"It's their problem,that they need to sort out."Olivia pointed out.

"For Petra,that means killing Amber."Jesse pointed out,looking at the room."For Amber..."

"That means making Petra trust her."Olivia said.

But I can't see that happening anytime soon.

Right now Amber cooking stuff,while Petra and Axel were working on a storage room.They weren't finished,becuase there were no yelps or yells.

"Maybe you should ask Amber the chicken question."Jesse suggested.

"The chicken...oh."would you rather fight 100 chicken sized zombies,or 10 zombie sized chickens..."Why?"

"Becuase you can.Also becuase it cheers people up.A bit."Jesse explained.

"Okay."

Olivia went out of the room and passed the place where Axel and Petra were working on.It looked like they were nearly finished.
Good timing to make sure there was no conflict.

Petra turned around and saw Olivia.Olivia waved.

Petra muttered something to Axel,who shrugged.

Olivia continued walking.

"Wait,Olivia,we need to talk."Petra.And with that tone of voice,it wasn't something good.

"What if I said I don't feel like talking right now?"Olivia asked.

"What if I said it was important?"

"What's the subject?"

"You know what it is."

"No,I don't."

"The werewolf thing."

"Amber?"

"Yes."

"Then I don't want to talk."

Before Petra could say anything else Olivia went into then first room.

"Olivia!"Petra shouted angrily.

Olivia ignored her.

Amber was sitting next to the furnace.She raised an eyebrow at Olivia.A silent question.
What was that about?

"We're going outside."Olivia announced.

"Why?"Amber asked.

"Becuase we can."

Amber made a small smile.

She followed Olivia outside.It wasn't night yet,but it would be soon.

"Is Lukas okay?"Amber asked.

"Yeah.Why?"

"Just wondering.And questioning."

The forest seemed to be full of life today.Olivia could hear chickens clucking and animals wandering around.

"So...what do you wanna do?"Amber looked around.

Olivia shrugged,then remembered what Jesse said.The chicken question.

"Would you rather fight one hundred chicken sized zombies or ten zombie sized chickens?"Olivia asked.

Amber thought for a moment.

"Probably the zombie sized chickens."She answered.

"Why is that?"

"Becuase the chickens don't fight back."

That was a good reason.Logical.

Olivia just wanted to forget.Forget everything.Forget the Endermen.Silencer.Soren.The Witherstorm.Even though it was dead...

She would forget everything as a wolf,right?

"Amber...when are we gonna do the wolf thing?"Olivia asked.

Please say whenever we want.

"The wolf thing?Oh.Yeah.Um.Whenever."Amber shrugged.

"Can we do it now?"

"Um...sure."

"So what do I do?"

"Well...I'll turn us both into wolves...you have to repeat in your mind 'I am human'."Amber paused,then added."Also 'she is a friend'.Just so you don't attack me or anything."

Okay.I can do that.

Amber grabbed Olivia's arm.

I am human.She is a friend.

She felt herself shifting. Painlessly.

I am human.She is a friend.

I am human.She is a friend.

I am human.She is a friend.

I am human.She is a friend.
