Shadow Souls

Chapter Eighteen-Hair, Practice-Friends

The next morning felt a lot more beauitful as I woke up to the little redhaired princess sleeping soundlessly on my chest. She remined me slightly of Luna as she looked so cute and innocent.

I stared up at the ceiling of the bed and scratched the side of my nose with my free hand as Xemnaia sturred. I glanced down at her smiling and she looked up at me with cute tierd eyes.

"Sleep well?"
"Best I have in while." she giggled.
I tilted my neck in a painful postion to kiss he as a maid walked in carry a tray. She dropped it and screamed dashing out of the room as she saw me.

Xemnaia shook her head stunned sitting up which aloud me to move my other dead arm. The princess grasped the white covers close to her breast, in which in return I done a sad face.
"You're so cute when you want something." she tapped my cheek. But for some reason it didn't feel smooth.

I placed my hand on my own cheek to realise I had stuble. I hadn't had stuble in years. I glanced around the room got anything I can just put around my middle?"

Xemnaia looked up at the bed curtains and ripped them down from the rail and handed me the red material. "Cheers." I beamed heading to the far corner of the room to look in the full length mirror smirking as I saw my face looked older. I could at least pass for twenty two or twenty three.

Just then another scream sounded from the hall. I knew instantly it wasn't the maid, it was in fact my sister. I quickly glanced at the princess who shared the same face of terror as I sprinted out of the room the curtain rapped around my waist. I poundered hard on the closed door.

"Luna...Luna what's wrong?" I bellowed. Valicolt then emerged from his room a few doors down. "What's going on?" he asked sleepily. He had bed hair like me but didn't look as awake.

The door clicked open and Luna stood in the doorway crying into her hands. I put my hands on her shoulders.
"Sis what's up?" my face was horror striken at my sister in this state.

"I just had a shower and got dressed and done my hair...and...and..."
"And!" I almost screamed.
Luna was still crying into her hand.
"Look at me sis."

Reluctantly she lifted her head. Taken completely off guard Valicolt and I errupted in laughter. It appeared me and Valicolt who had a new hair gain. Luna also had it only a lot more.

When she began to sob harder I forced myself to get myself under control and hit Valicolt in the ribs to shut him up.
"Luna don't worry about it. You're not in the human world anymore hun, this world allows us to openly become our true selves. The hair is apart your true self."

"I'm a freak." she continued to sob.
I wiped away the tears and shushed her.
"No you're not, you're a hybrid. Hair is apart of who we are. We are wolves after all at heart. Don't worry every hybrid out there in this world have hair like that, actually the guys find hair on the girls sexy." I winked.

"Really?" she squeeked.
"Yes trust me. Guys will find you irrisistable here. Don't forget we are not in the mortle world any longer."
Valicolt the whispered in my ear. I nodded.

"Oh yeah and another thing you wanna be aware of is the fact you will get a lot more hairy, you will get wolf ears eventually and a tail depending on how long we stay here."

Luna bit her lip and look at me with huge puppy dog eyes. "It's nothing to worry about don't worry. Besides you look adorable."
"But...but you laughed." she said buring her face in my chest.

"Yes only because I had forgotten how girls sprout more hair than the male hybrids, I'm sorry about that." I said wrapping my arms around her.

"Is everything okay here?" I turned to see the princess fully dressed in an elegant normal dress, her hair was neat and tidy and hung in loose curls.
"Yes everything is fine ma'm, poor Luna just had a little scare." Valicolt butted in.
