Be Somebody

Wolves

Hello, everyone! How is everyone doing in the current circumstance? I'm trying, I kept myself busy with household chores and spending time with my family, video=calling my friends and writing.

I think I'm nearing a writer's block but I'll try to write as much as I can until I run out of ideas.

This story is also published both on Wattpad (Vicky1599) and Archive of Our Own (Vicky19) although in Archive of Our Own it's a chapter ahead so you must be warned for spoilers!

Enjoy!

"Please don't be dead." Jed whispered for what felt the millionth time.

Nansia lay motionless and cold, not breathing very strongly yet her heartbeat was low too yet stronger than her breathing.

He then decided to risk it and start performing CPR to her.

He started applying pressure to her chest and after three times and then put his face over her mouth and waited to feel her breath but it was very faint so he decided to close her nose, open her mouth and breath in a breath of his own. Then he let go and waited on her to breathe. Nothing he started again, compressions and then breathing into her mouth three more times.

He didn't pay attention to the electric jolts he felt every time his mouth would touch hers because he wanted her alive.

After the 3rd time he tried he saw Nansia's chest rise and then she started coughing and puking water as Jed helped her turn to her side and held her hair.

"Why did you do it?" Jed asked Nansia and he couldn't stop his voice from cracking.

"Because I disappoint everyone and my efforts are never enough. I'm tired of trying...so tired!" Nansia started to cry not only because of the emotional pain but the physical too.

"What happened to my body? Why does it hurt?" She asked as she cried and Jed explained to her what limps she had broken and she sighed in annoyance.

"Have you called an ambulance or someone else?" She asked him and he showed her his wet phone.

"Nope, can't do that now..." Jed said awkwardly and Nansia groaned then her eyebrows went up as she felt a tingly sensation to her arms and legs.

"Tell me I'm turning into a mermaid now..." Nansia grumbles with disbelief and displeasure. Jed looked at her confused.

"What do you mean?" Jed asked her as he sat down next to her and trying to pick up anything weird.

"I feel this tingly in my bones...it's tickling me but at the same time makes me feel less pain, what is it?" Nansia asked Jed who by the time she finished describing to him what she felt his eyes widen and he was scratching his head.

"I thought you were a witch! Not a werewolf! What you are feeling is how we feel when we are hurt and our wolf gene heals us!" Jed explained in complete shock and Nansia looked slightly confused.

"So, Thalia was right...I am a wolf witch...cool!" Nansia said semi-excited semi-shocked.

"A what? You mean a hybrid?" Jed asked confused as he got closer to her.

"Not exactly, from what I gather, Thalia, my ancestor told me that my bloodline got married to wolf packs because they loved each other not because they were forced and their children were born with both abilities to use magic and they had heightened senses and could turn into wolves in free will, they weren't cursed by the full moon. Down the road, after generations, those gifts started to show up less and less to the point it became rare and the new generation passed off as good hearing, good agility and whatnot. I guess in my blood those genes are stronger that is why I have better hearing and healing. Which doesn't make sense why I still have two autoimmune diseases...but who knows how fucked up my DNA actually is after what I've been through." Nansia said to Jed who by now was staring at the stream waiting for Nansia to heal completely and then help her back to school.
