Taylor - stripes and shadows (lesbian) [on hold]

Chapter 11 (part 2)

I've broken this chapter up into 2 sections because i got lazy and didn't finish the chapter, not gunna lie lol

also a clowder is a group of cats 

Joe sat looking thoughtful for a while before continuing “well you’re not just any werecat, you can do what we call half shift, which means you shift between human and werecat creating a hybrid state that makes you more advanced than regular werecats, this state was only ever achieved by the royal clowder , a pack of werecats that as you’ve probably already guessed ruled over the werecat clowder , only problem is that the royal clowder was executed thousands of years ago in a civil war, everyone thought that there kind was extinct  so you can guess how shocked we all are that you’ve turned out to be one, but it’s not just that, you’ve got a gold band around your neck” at this I tried to see what she was referring to but I couldn’t, getting up I walked over to a mirror that was hanging over the fireplace and saw a gold band running around my neck, dangling from a small chain coming off it was a red stone that looked as if it was glowing slightly “Taylor, I’m assuming that Lance told you about some of the special abilities that us ware’s get, mine is foreseeing, I can see into the future, when I was a young cub I had a dream and not understanding what it was I told my mother, she understood then that it was a prophecy, it wasn’t anything special, I just saw you standing under a waterfall, that’s why I know so much about the werecat history, no willing werewolf would learn about werecats after all, I mean some of us may get along but others are still of old standing and refuse to acknowledge your kind as equals, anyway my point is that your kind are extinct, you may be a werecat but your still of a completely different breed, i don’t think you’d be accepted into a clowder if they knew what you were or if they did it would be for selfish reasons” Joe explained looking glum, she had her eye’s downcast, when she finial raised them to look at me they where sad

“if a clowder wont accept me for what i am then i don’t want to be in a clowder, if i really am the last of my kind then it would be better if i didn’t anyway, why would i even need one?” i growled

“because it’s what’s expected of our kind, take me and Deane for example, were both alphas meaning that we will eventually have to leave the pack and start our own or challenge our father for claim of the pack, its just what’s expected of us, if we weren’t alphas it would be could be much simpler but that’s only if we had an alpha that aloud us to stay in contact with our fathers pack, most alphas don’t do this because where only aloud to become mates with someone inside the pack so it would be troublesome if we got attached to someone that was in our fathers pack” Joe muttered, she sighed, i could tell that she didn’t like the idea of either of those options

“Why do what’s expected?”

“Because we’d be disowned if we didn’t”

“Well if you challenge your father you’ll lose him and if you leave you and start your own pack you’ll lose everyone” i stated bluntly

“I never really thought about it that way but there’s no other option”

We where both silent for a while, both lost in our own thoughts, the gears in my head where working over time trying to think of a solution when it hit me “what if we started our own clowder or pack or whatever you want to call it, me, you and Deane? That way you could do whatever you wanted” i sat beaming at Joe who now sat with a frown on her face

“i don’t know, I’d have to talk to my dad about it, if i just said yes now then it would be seen as abandoning the packs morals and I’d be seen as a rouge and hunted down, but i have a feeling that this may just be a brilliant idea” Joe smiled at me as she got up off the sofa and indicated for me to follow her, we walked down the hall to a room that looked like a small library, it was obviously her fathers study, Lance and Deane where sat on a sofa that was to the right of a big desk, behind the desk sat Mr Tinder, Joe walked over to him and whispered in his ear, he then turned to the rest of us and told us that they needed a minute to talk, Deane made to get up but his father gestured for him to stay put, i followed Lance out of the study and back into the living room where he sat down then looked at me

“maybe i should teach you how to shift back, really i should have thought of that earlier it’s just that i was so surprised i never even thought about it” he chuckled “it’s not very complex, all you really have to do is concentrate on you being a human, it’s the same for when you want to shift into a werecat” i closed my eyes and concentrated, i didn’t feel anything and when i opened my eyes i realised nothing had happened “it may take a few tires, don’t get stressed” he said smiling at me.

After a few more tries I managed it but now sat naked in the front room which made Lance act like a complete buffoon as he tried to explain how to make me visualise clothing while looking anywhere but where I was, I managed that rather easily and spent the next couple of minutes rolling around on the floor in stitches, after a while Joe, Deane and there father entered the room and sat down with us

“nice cloths” Deane said as he sat down next to me smiling, i may have found it easier to form cloths but the only thing i could think of was underwear, military boots, black jeans and a leather jacket, i had serious trouble with the t-shirt and ended up with a black and white chequered shirt, it wasn’t the best look but i wasn’t naked so didn’t care

“Joe explained to me what you and her where discussing and i think that it would be a good idea, Joe and Deane are of the age where they would be leaving the pack now and I don’t know any good packs around here, we’ve had a few run ins with the local packs and there leaders are ruthless, I wouldn’t want any of my pack members joining there packs or leading any of there pack members, I do agree that it is a strange notion for a werewolf to be forming a pack with a werecat but I’ve known your uncle for many years and I am under the impression that you are a lot like him, I’m putting my trust in you to take care of them, I know there alphas but they have both voiced there opinion about leading a pack and I know neither of them want to, that does mean that you will have to be the alpha or leader of the pack, clowder whatever you’re going to classified it as” he declared with a smile  

“maybe we should talk about this some more before deciding who leads anything” I replied look from Joe to Deane as they both sat looking at me expectantly “maybe we should go out for a bit, today’s been...long and i really want to have some fun”

“Alright, why I ring Amber and we can talk some more on the way there” Joe said getting up off of the sofa, Deane and I nodded our agreement and followed her out of the house while she rang Amber.

i hope it's getting a bit more interesting now :) also if it say's clan anywhere can you let me know, I only found out what a group of cats was called after I uploaded this :S
