Playing cat and wolf

Sometimes I wish I could block out the world and just do whatever I want. Listen to Angus and Julia stone, read werewolf novels, relax on the beach with friends...

For most kids that would be possible but when you have anger issues and you don't really like people in general it makes life as a normal teenager a little bit harder then usual.

My name is Tahlia and I am a werecat. I have another spirit inside me. The spirit of a tiger. The tiger spirit that lives within me is called Arzabella but I just call her Bella. We can speak to each other in my head. We are two souls in one body.

People find me hard to get along with because the cat in me means I have a short temper generally leading to arguments and fights. I have no friends due to my uncanny ability with picking fights with everyone and anyone.

I am small and light on my feet (the cat in me)

I have pale blue eyes and snowy white hair. My tiger can change colour. She can go from orange to white in a second. But my hair stays white.

Sometimes I wish I could just be normal but then I think of Bella. How could I live without her? What would life be like? What wo-

My thoughts were interrupted by the schools bell ringing.

I was out of my seat before most had even registered they were free to go. I hate enclosed spaces, so being in a small room filled with 30 kids isn't my cup of tea. Another thing with being part cat is my heightened senses. So the smell of 30 teenagers is eye watering.

School passed quickly and boringly. I had more guys try to approach me but I shot them down like I do with everyone else.

Arriving at my house I throw my bag in the door before running into the woods and shifting into my tiger.

I run through the woods loving the feeling of being free and not caring about anything. It's such a nice change after being stuck in a classroom all day. As I run I catch a scent I have never smelt in the woods before. It smells like rain and freshly mown grass. It might sounds weird but it smells amazing! I follow the scent to a small pond in the middle of the woods. 'Since when was that there?!' I ask myself incredulously.

I step a little further into the clearing that surrounds the pond and that's when I see him. There is a guy swimming in the pond. He has black hair that falls slightly over his golden eyes, full lips prominent cheek bones and a healthy tan. He does one of those head shake things to get rid of some of the water in his hair... I've died and gone to heaven.

He starts walking out of the water and the water level drops from neck height to chest height, showing off a toned chest to waist height showing off a very definitive 8 pack to mod thigh showing me his defined v line. He walks towards the shore and that's when I realise that he is heading my way. Snapping out of my checking out session I step backwards managing not only to step on a stick, dried leaves and trip backwards over a log but also to let out a loud tigerish yelp.

Whoops.

The guys head snap towards me laughing when he sees me on the floor upside down and I give him a grin. I would say a wolfish grin but I'm not a wolf so....

I race off in the other direction not running my full speed just kind if loping away. I hear the water splashing behind me then I hear the thudding of paws following me. Paws??

*werewolf* bella says to me

*say what?!* I ask her

* the guy in the pond was a werewolf* Awh shit!!

So now I'm being chased by a werewolf.

Fantastic! 'Note the sarcasm'

*why is he following me?* I ask bella

Bella does a mental shrug. I sigh.

Picking up my pace I run home and shift before running into my house. Incase your wondering when I shift my clothes do appear on my body. Running into my house I sit for a couple of minutes and try to think about what just happened.

•I went to a pond that I had no idea even existed

•I saw a really hot guy that turned out to be a werewolf

Said werewolf then started chasing me... For some unknown reason

Well then.. what an interesting day

I start to make dinner. Singing merrily as I do. Hmm shall I tell you more about myself?

Meh why not?

Well I am 17 years old. I have been a werecat for as long as I can remember. I have no family. I have a really good singing voice and I have strange dreams in which I get visits from a star goddess. No clue who she is but anywho that's me. My life story is pretty boring.

I finish dinner and light my fireplace. After tuning on Angus and Julia stone I curl into a comfy armchair and read eragon. I don't know why but I love the idea of having a pet dragon. How awesome would that be!

Soon my clock strikes 11 and I uncurl myself from my armchair and walk to my room. Curling up in bed I fall into a dreamless sleep. Thank god!
