I woke up to find myself laying in a soft bed, with the blanket drawn over me. I sat up and looked around me, trying to find out where I was. Then I smelt alcohol. I knew I was in the cabin so I stood and walked to the door. I saw that it was dark and looked out the window.

The moon was just starting to fall from the point of midnight. I put my ear to the door and listened. It was only about three in the morning, and there was people talking and drinking. I opened the door and walked out quietly. I leaned against the wall and watched my father, his brother, and niece.

They were odd and I was shocked that the trackers couldn't catch my sent when I was standing only two feet away. "She fell asleep in the snow in a tank top and jeans and didn't get sick?" Jessica asked. Logan nodded, and I looked down at myself; I still had my jeans and tank top on, but I also had a jacket on, it was one of Victors. Why was I wearing one of Victors trench coats? I slid it off my body and walked fully into the room. 

I threw Victors jacket at him, and chuckled when it hit his face. I walked to the front door, opened it and stepped outside taking a deep breath of the crisp, cold, fresh air. I looked at the stars and the moon, I fought the urge to shift into something with wings and fly beneath them. The door opened and closed behind me and I said "Come to gloat?" "No." Was the only word said in reply from Jessica.

I nodded and looked at the white powder that covered the ground.  "I want to know why you came back?" She said walking to the railing and leaning on it. I looked at her with shock, she had her fathers sharp looks, his power, his hair, and his eyes; it was shocking how much they looked alike. "I came back because that is what my mother would have wanted, me to stay with my father until I was legally able to live on my own." I answered stepping out into the snow and lightly walking across it. 

"Your mother would want you to" She scoffed. I stopped and called over my shoulder "You have no idea what I mean or why I care." I could feel myself beginning to shift, I must have selfconciesusly wanted to so I continued to walk away until I was hidden by the trees. I let myself shift and found myself standing as a dragon. When I looked over myself I saw that my scales, teeth, and claws were made the same stuff my father's claws are made from, only I could move freely. I shifted into a black wolf and began to walk trying to figure out how I had that, it was like armor on top of my own scales, teeth, and claws.

I walked back to find everyone on the team standing on the porch. I stood there for a few moments then walked close enough to smell the alcohol but not suffocate from the stench. I looked at them trying to hide my disgust I had towards them. I really needed to ask my mom how she fell in love with the man that stood among the men before me. I decided to scare them all, so I looked at them with interest, pretending like I didn't know them.

"Lierra, come inside before you get sick." Logan calls over to me, but I only look at them, then I changed my fur to silver and disappear into the forest. I only went a certain distance before I shifted into a bird and flew back to a nearby tree. I found it funny to watch Logan flip out about me running off like I did. I smiled and got another idea, I shifted into a human and caught a new scent. I turned around and found a short, thin boy dressed in a jacket; with the hood up hiding his face and hair; and tight blue jeans. I looked at him ready for a fight, but he ran closer to me and shoved me off the tree branch, shifing into a black bird at the end of the branch, and flying away. I landed on my back and laid there for a second.

I waited for them to do something. When I heard footsteps in the snow I fought off a smile, they did care. My mother's voice rang in my head "Be there for your father. Please, he needs you." I sat up and rubbed the back of my head. "What just happened to you?" Victor yelled to me. I stood and looked up at the tree "I just got thrown from a tree. What does it look like?" They laughed and I said "I think you would do the same thing I did when the person came out of nowhere and pushed you." I hissed.
