The Powers I Possess Are Fatal

Chapter 10

After dinner my parents cleared the table and went into the kitchen to wash up. I left the dining room and made my way into the front yard so that I could sit on the porch swing. James followed me of course and sat down outside with me. I didn't say anything to him for a while I was just wrapping my head around how well my parents behaved and how hot and steamy things got with James in the basement. We sat in silent for a long time just looking at the stars and listening to all the different sounds and that's when it happened. I didn't even hear it to start with as I was in my own little bubble but when James asked if I had I started to listen for the sound and that's when I heard it for the first time. James said it was a howl like a wolf would make but when I heard it the sound was more of a distressed cry. I thought it was just my senses playing tricks on me so I tried to ignore it, but when James said 'I think it's hurt, it sounds distressed. Will probably be dead in the morning.' I stood up and went inside leaving James sat on the swing. I changed quickly into some hiking boots and some leather shorts and grabbed my leather jacket. When I came back outside James had gone and in his place was a note. The note said.

'My dear, I knew what you were thinking and I am aware that you will be mad but I cannot have you looking for danger when you already have so much to face. I will take care of this one, see you in the morning. Love James. Xxx'.

I looked at the letter and the back out towards the moon and decided that I wasn't going to let James go out in search of the animal alone and I would be able to get there before he could anyway. So I grabbed the paper and transported myself to the woods. As I teleported into the woods I was able to sense the location of the animal and arrive close to it. I was half expecting a wolf or something but no. Not only do I attract the abnormal and evil things I have found an injured magical creature. It's a werewolf and according to Violate you need to befriend and communicate with them in order for them to trust you. You may think that's easy but not everyone with magical abilities has the skill and the power to communicate with other species. Yet the only way to find out is to try and talk to the werewolf.

I stepped out from the shadows were I was hiding and slowly made my way towards the injured beast. As I made my way I must have stepped on a branch or something because the werewolf spun round and growled at me. I didn't have a clue what to do Violate never told me how to communicate with other species. So I took a deep breath and started talking normally to this werewolf like I would if I was talking to Jeremy. But somehow between myself and the animal the language changed and the creature could understand me.

Me: I can see that you are in pain and I understand that I have to show you that you can trust me and that is why I have come here and spoken to you in your own language. Where are you hurt?'

Creature: Your wisdom of my kind is accurate though you do not like to believe. You have shown that I can trust you by how you have spoken to me and yet you are to me like we have known each other for many years. Why are you treating me like I am one of you?

Me: Because you are. You see I am a witch and you are a creature of magic meaning that we come from the same blood line. Now where are you hurt, you need to tell me so that I can heal you, okay?

Creature Yes I am hurt. I got shot in the right side but before you come near me I think it is time you knew my name. After all we are family. My name is Moonshine.

Me: My name is Lily and I am going to heal you. Moonshine you need to prepare yourself for what I am about to do I'm not sure how much this is going to hurt so you need to restrain yourself from hurting me.

Moonshine: I shall not harm you. Do as you must and I will behave.

Moonshine rolled so that I would be able to reach her right side. I placed my hands over the wound and started to hum. I had been practicing this so that I would be able to heal myself if I had to in silence. I could see the fear in Moonshine's eyes and it made my heart constrict. To see an magical creature in so much fear because she had been shot at by the humans. I spell was finished within seconds and the wound on Moonshine was healed. I took a couple of steps back so that Moonshine could have some space from me and so that she could clam down and get up without any interference. It was at this point when she moved and got up onto her paws. I thought she was going to run off and into the safety of the woods but she didn't. She turned to face me and said 'You have shown kindness to me and I will forever be loyal and kind to you. If you ever need my help or my support I will be there for you. If you ever need me just howl or whisper a prayer to me and I will come as fast as I can and I will find you.

Me: 'Thank-you Moonshine and I will be here for you if you need me.'

On the note she turned and ran into the dark woods.

'I should have known, you wouldn't give up and let me take over one mess'.

I turned around to see James walking out of the woods towards me. He didn't look impressed. 'James I can't just let you try and protect me every time danger is involved. You would never have a life. Not only that I attract danger and evil so what sort of life can I give you if you're always trying to protect me from danger.'

He sighed and looked straight at me. He looked so torn between what he wants to do and how much sense I am making.

He was stood in front of my by now and he said to say 'How did you communicate with that beast?'

'She is not a beast James, her name was Moonshine and she is a werewolf a magical creature like you.' I said in an annoyed voice. He took my hand and said 'I don't want to fight. Let's get going we have a long walk a head of us.' And on that note he turned and started to walk away and pulled me with him.

Hell was I going to walk home it was miles and it was dark. He must be crazy he doesn't want me to be put into any unnecessary danger and yet he wants me to walk through the woods at night. I carried on walking with James for a little while and then I decided I was going to teleport us back to my house. Though I should have probably told James as when I started to teleport he was still walking so when we got to my house he sort of fell over as he lost his balance. Personally I found it funny but I don't think he did so much as he gave me evils as he got back on his feet. We walked hand in hand back up to my house where my parents were sat in the living room. We joined them watching the TV. Everything was going fine until my mum said to James 'So how are you getting home tonight?'

'I'm going to ride my bike back, speaking off I should get going.' 'James its dark out and its wet on the road, I think it would be safer for you to stay here tonight.' My mum replied with a serious face.

James replied 'Thanks, I would appreciate that.'

'Good you can sleep on the sofa or if Lily wants you can sleep in her room, we don't mind as long as there is no funny business'.

Mom, please stop talking. I'm 17 I can do as I wish but just for your peace of mind we haven't had sex.' I could feel my check begin to flame so I stood up and left the room heading straight upstairs towards my bedroom.
