Muta Revolution

Blooming flower

Her hand strokes my face. Warmth and love radiating off of her every being. I can hear the birds chirping above us calling out for one another. This sound mixes with the soft sounds of her voice. Her singing rings out through the air.

I keep my eyes closed taking in everything about this moment. Opening my eyes I gaze into her lilac ones. I had never seen such a color before, a little darker than the flower. But so much more beautiful.

The wind picked up blowing her shiny black hair across her face. She giggles as I stared at her causing me to smile back. I once again closed my eyes, feeling the suns rays on my face.

All of a sudden the sun didn't feel too comfortable anymore. It started to become hotter, scorching my face. The smell of burning flesh burned my nostrils. A smell that I wish I wasn't so familiar with. I can hear her screams, but I refuse to open my eyes. I know what awaits Me.

"Why didn't you save me?" I make a grab for her, knowing that I will wake up soon, but it's too late. As my arms reach for her I am met with nothing.

My arms that always come up empty are not in this moment. I can feel petras body in my arms. Am I still asleep? I open my eyes, it looks like my Petra, but this Petra is different. Her body fits just as perfectly but she is not mine.

I jerk away from the imposter. Dropping her. She seems just as confused as I am. As I drop her. Her face falls against the floor making her groan out in pain.

"Who are you?! What are you doing in my room?!", I keep my voice calm, and unwavering. My battle stance in place.

"Jesus, you didn't have to drop me like that. I'm your roommate. They told me to come here." She says holding her nose. It is then that I take a look around. Her pallet is on the floor next to mine. A few books stacked up next to it.

It's not uncommon they stick newcomers with older recruits. We were currently under renovation. Expanding our underground home. We were getting more recruits than we usually do. It would take about a week for them to construct her new room.

I loosened my stance, taking in the situation. "Why were you over her on my bed?, I ask my eyes suspicious. Would be my luck to get a pervert as a roommate. " You were making weird noises, so I was going to wake you, but you grabbed me." I blushed, knowing what she said was probably true.

It was a good thing it was darker in here. I shook off the embarrassment and asked her the one question that I needed the answer to. "Who are you?" My heart races at the unknown. There was no way she was my Petra. But a small part of me hoped

"My name is Alexandra, I am a shifter." My heart jumped a little at the similar power but fell. She didn't look exactly like Petra. Her black hair was short cut into a fade. Her body, which was covered only by shorts and a sports bra was completely covered in tattoos, bite marks covered her arms. Now that I thought about it she was built completely different. Her shoulders were broad, muscles ran over every inch of her. Her face wasn't as soft either. Her jaw was sharper, her skin a little darker. Like she had spent a lot of time outside.

But her eyes, her eyes were exactly the same. Her expression were exactly the same, her hair color as well.

"You like what you see?

Her lips pulled up at the corners into a smirk. Her eyes filled with humor. I once again blushed. What was wrong with me? How could this girl make me blush so easily?

I looked away, "you just look like someone I used to know" she looked down as well. "Well I'm not, but I wouldn't mind knowing you"

Her smugness enraged me, but I knew just from looking at her, seeing that flash of shock and sorrow. That she was just using that as a facade. I'm an avid fan of women, but it would be wrong to mess with this girl just because she looked like my dead lover

Right?

It didn't matter, i wouldn't let myself cross that line. I owed it to Petra. I scoffed, "I'll pass". I laid back down on my bundle of thin blankets and faced away from her. Pretending to sleep. She soon followed suit.

But what I didn't know is that this girl would forever change my life
