Iona's P.O.V.
Jake and I got into the local diner for breakfast and sat at a booth. Even though it was just two of us we love sitting in the more comfortable booths. The waitress came and smiled at Jake brightly and only side glanced at me. I glared at her.
"Would you like anything to drink?" Jake was looking at her in a...weird way...
"Yeah, I want a sprite."
"And you?" She asked me with a bit of a sour tone.
"Tea please." She walked off and took care of other tables. Jake wasn't much for cconversation even though I tried...I picked up that every time the waitress walked my he changed his posture to where he leaned out of the booth a little even more closed off from me.
"Are you ok Jake?" He flashed a smile at me but it wasn't the same...his eyes gave him away.
"She's you're mate isn't she."
"It's nothing Iona..."
"Jake go to her."
"But-"
"Jake go. I know how hard it is once you've seen your mate just go."
"I won't leave you as long as I-"
"Jake don't make this harder on yourself or me...please..."
He clenched his fists and closed his eyes. I fought back tears, closed my eyes and looked down.
"I love you."
"I love you too Jake..." I said through my heavy sadness. I have to let him go.
He got up and went to the bar and smiled at the waitress, starting conversation.
I calmly walked out of the diner and as soon as I hit the woods that were a few foot off the edge of the rode. I took off feeling my limbs change and my clothes rip. Flames formed at my paws as I ran through the woods. I heard the ground sizzle beneath my paws as I took off full speed dodging trees and feeling the wind through my fur. I cried as I ran. I ran and cried and cried. For happiness for Jake, and for the loss of the two loves I lost...I wasn't paying attention and before I knew it I was on the ground in horrible pain. That's when I caught the unfamiliar scent and I looked down and saw the blood. I've been shot! Dammit it's silver! I blacked out from pain.
