You Can Shift, But You Can't Hide

Chapter 6

"Sirenity!" Tristan shouts running in from the hallway, eyes and nose slightly red with a small print.

Sirenity shuffles a little farther from him when he reaches her bed.

A flash of pain goes through his eyes, his smile lessens to a quick frown before pulling back up.

He hands her a white board and a pen,"How are you feeling?"

Fine, what happened? Sirenity bluntly writes getting straight to the point.

"You've been here for three months, Sirenity." Tristan says looking in her eyes.

Please tell me you're joking, Fred! She writes fast with her eyes still emotionless as ever.

He shakes his head.

"Hello!" Karma saunters into the room in a very cheery mood. Zaran grabs Karma' shoulder and holds onto it.

"Karma! I told you to wait- oh, hey! I'm Zaran" Zaran says releasing Karma, walking calmly to Sirenity.

Figures you'd have some side chick's Siren rolls her eyes at them.

Tristan opens his mouth to reply but Zaran beats him to it.

"Listen here Sirenity! I will never be this things side chick! If anything he is my bitch!" Zaran says looking at Tristan. "Besides, bitch  ain't my type."

Karma giggles before standing at the foot of the bed.

Tristan sighs and watches Siren write on her board, turning it around she smirks while pointing to Zaran.

I like her

Tristan gives her an emotionless face,"of course you do."

Zaran looks over his shoulder while Sal slips out of her blue flannel pocket and looks at the Shifters writing.

Smirking Zaran stands next to Siren and winks at Tristan," I like you to Sirenity!"

Siren looks at Zaran shocked.

How do you know my name?!

Karma speaks from her spot seeing the board, " This idiot," smacking the back of his head hard making him scowl at her,"has talked a bit about you."

"I call Bull-" Tristan starts but gets cut of by two pairs of eyes glaring at him.

Rolling her eyes Siren leans her head back and looks at the ceiling.

Feeling something on her arm she looks at it confused, seeing the little salamander.

Sal flicks his tail like a dog with its forked tongue lolling out of his mouth.

A ghost of a smile graces Sirens mouth as she lifts her opposite hand and rubs the salamanders small head with her index finger.

Zaran proudly sticks her tongue out at Tristan who's glaring at the salamander.

Smirking Siren raises an eyebrow at Tristan with her new friend on her arm nudging it's head on her arm.

When can I leave? Sirenity writes looking at all of them in the face as Sal goes back to Zaran's pocket.

"Whenever they finish the tests." They answer at the same time looking at her.

Looking at them weirdly she sniffs just noticing how their scents are different.

"Good news!" Dr.Kama says entering with a slight bounce in his step," you're free to leave whenever!"

Sirenity nods slightly sitting on the edge of the bed getting ready to leave in her hospital gown.
