Jake's POV

“She's a fighter that one. Anyone else would have been dead by now. Or insane,” Cameron said after Zoey was asleep.

“What's up with her hair? It used to be honey blond with a pink streak but now... it's bleached.” I looked over at the sleeping figure and suddenly it dawned on me that she was abnormally beautiful.

  Strikingly so, actually. I loved her high cheekbones which made her look regal. Her flashing eyes that made her passionate. Her attitude which made her spirited, and most of all I loved every inch of her.

 “Oh, you didn't know did you? She's a shifter. She's very apt at it too. Her eyes change after huge personality change, her hair and nails in general mood swings. At the moment, she hasn't got enough energy to maintain any colour. She can manipulate herself too, although I don't think she's quite figured that out yet.”

  I gaped with open mouthed astonishment at Cameron.

“Like people who change into animals? Wow...”

“No, she can't change into animals. Listen to me you fool! Her appearance, and if she's strong maybe the appearance of others too. There have been very few animal shifters, and I do not think she is one of them. It takes immense strength.” He too looked over at Zoey with sad eyes.

 “What's wrong Cam? You look sad. Why did they take her anyway?” I couldn't keep my eyes off her, and I was watching the blanket rise and fall in time with her breathing. I had missed her for the time we'd been apart. In the small time we had spent together, she'd become a part of me, and since she had been gone I'd been missing that part of me.

It felt good to be whole again.

 “Since leaving your world, she has undergone a great deal of change. She was not a shifter when she left your world, or that is what she told me. The boss of the man who was torturing her was the murderer of her parents, and she set off in revenge.

 “In my world, she found me in a desert. She was injured, though not this badly, and sought shelter. I helped her, and we became friends eventually. Since losing her parents, she has been through great hardship. She has lost many a friend and ally, and changed.

 “For better or worse I don't know. It was a painful process, to become a shifter, and one she did not choose. She was forced.” He stopped for breath when suddenly he stopped, “I think it's time to rest. I have told you more than I should have. If you want to know more you should ask Zoey herself. Goodnight.”

 His look showed he would not say anything more, and I felt disappointed. I wanted to learn more about this new Zoey, the girl I loved. She wasn't the same person as when she had left our dimension, but I knew one thing for certain- I was still madly in love with her.

Zoey's POV

I woke, and it felt like I had been in a deep sleep for ages. My muscles felt stiff, and my lips cracked. I was feeling much better though. I opened my eyes slowly. It was just before dawn, and I was the only one up. I sat up slowly but then groaned quietly as my head spun.
